From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of Captain John Smith in colonial Virginia.

John Smith was an English soldier, explorer and colonist who was a founder of Virginia. He is a colorful, near legendary figure in American history and has been the subject of a long and lively historical controversy. His name evokes a popular image of a swashbuckling, romantic hero who saved the infant colony of Jamestown from internal and external menaces and who himself was rescued by the Indian maiden Pocahontas (Gerson 12). Some 19th-century historians belittled Smith and his role in the founding of America, claiming that the heroic exploits described in his narratives were invented to promote himself. Modern historians, however, have been able largely to substantiate Smith's writings, while putting legend in its proper perspective. A superb ... "

Abstract
The paper examines Captain John Smith's "Narratives of Early Virginia" on the New World and the Virginia colony. The paper highlights the tone of the author's narrative and shows how it is hugely influenced by its author's personality and intent, as well as by the time period in which it was created. The paper explains how the text was written for several different purposes and asserts that because of these ulterior motives, this text cannot be entirely trusted. However, the paper points out that if the document is read with knowledge of Smith's background and intentions, it can be very useful.

From the Paper
"Captain John Smith's "Narratives of Early Virginia" in his General History are much more--and in some ways much less--than a simple history of Jamestown and the issues that the early European settlers faced. They also reveal much about the time period and attitudes that existed among the people there, and a great deal about the author and the circumstances surrounding the writing and publication of this work. Though all texts can reveal certain aspects of their authors' beliefs and attitudes, as well as providing contextual insight into the historical period in which they were created, this is especially true of this history."

Abstract
This paper discusses the various accounts of the relationship between the Indian girl, Pocahontas and the English Captain, John Smith. It discusses exactly what their relationship was and how they related to each other. The paper looks at John Smith's account of the events and people surrounding Pocahontas and discusses how this compares to the popular Disney version of their relationship.

From the Paper
"Perhaps the most romanticized event in history is the meeting and relationship between Indian girl, Pocahontas and English Captain, John Smith. What exactly was their relationship? Disney Productions tells us in their movie titled "Pocahontas" that the relationship between the two people were of that of a romantic type, portraying the two as highly attractive twenty something's, leaping through forests and frolicking in the fields."

Abstract
The paper relates how Sir David Edward and the making of substantive European law have become fairly conjoined in the minds of most legal observers over the course of the past decade-and-a-half. With this in mind, the paper briefly discusses Judge Edward's steady rise to the top of his profession, as well as the maturation of the peculiar institution - the European Court of Justice - with which he is most associated. Just as importantly, the paper examines the evolution of the European Union, for without this Union's emergence and growth, the story of David Edward would be dramatically different.

Abstract
The following paper will look briefly at the scholarly works of Dorothy E. Smith and Michel Foucault with an eye towards illuminating what can be taken from them by people designated as "deviant" by the powers-that-be. Specifically, Smith argues that the prevailing power structure is patriarchal (or has been in the past) and this phenomenon explains why women are often designated as "abnormal" by society; no attention is apparently given to the modes of oppression that make them emotionally erratic. For his part, Foucault seemingly disagrees with the notion of a society organized around certain ideologies; yet, even as he does this, he certainly believes in power and in the ability of power to be insidious and omnipresent. Leaving the confusing nature of what he is saying aside, the big difference is that he and Smith both cleave to the view that designating people as "abnormal" is a way of controlling them; the major difference is that Smith emphasizes patriarchy and Foucault does not. On a personal level, reading their material makes me suspicious of being designated anything by anybody.

Abstract
The paper relates that when most people go to the supermarket to look for their favorite fruits, they probably do not contemplate their purchases too deeply, in fact, most people are creatures of habit and often just buy the same types of produce they have eaten for years. Sometimes, however, new things can be learned by slowing down and taking the time to look at things in a new way. The paper relates that Granny Smith and Fuji apples are two of the most popular types of apple in the world, in fact, as one team of experts reports, along with a few other types of apples, Granny Smith and Fuji account for the vast majority of the world's production (Barrett, Somogyi and Hosahalli 461). The current discussion compares and contrasts Granny Smith and Fuji apples.

Abstract
This paper studies the styles, techniques and works of these two very famous historical poets. It compares Herbert who is classified as a metaphysical poet and Taylor who is classified as a Puritan era poet. It studies Puritan life as Edward Taylor's direct writing influence. It studies the classification issue of these poets and concludes that Taylor should be classified as a metaphysical poet as well because of the properties of his poems. It analyzes several poems by these poets and details their style, meaning and the techniques used. It also examines their great belief and faith in God and how this affected their poetry.

From the Paper
"The works of Edward Taylor not only provide us with a glimpse into Puritan life of the 1600's, they also give us a direct insight into the very heart and soul of the man who penned them. His works relate the Puritan emphasis on one's own spiritual examination of the soul, and well as the high moral standards the Puritans lived by. Although his style varies somewhat in his major works, his unbending love of God remains constant. His imagery not only allows the reader to view his words through a Puritan's eyes, but to also get a feel for what it meant to devote one's self totally to God. Taylor's reasons for writing were grounded in his own personal desire to communicate with God, to express his heartfelt love of God, and to prepare himself for sharing the Lord's Supper with his congregation. Like Herbert, Taylor's poetry expressed deep piety and love for Christ. Likewise, both authors express the view of Salvation as being completely reliant on God's grace rather than human merit (Rowe).
