"According to Bill Nichols, every film is essentially a documentary, but true documentaries, as opposed to wish-fulfillment fictions, represent a unique genre of film that engages with the world as it exists in reality. Nichols says that the documentary engages with the world by representing it in one of three ways. First, documentaries offer a likeness or depiction of the world that bears a recognizable familiarity. Secondly, these films stand for or represent the interests of others. Third, some documentaries may represent the world..."

Abstract
This paper looks at the documentary "Capturing the Friedmans" from the point of view of what constitutes the typical American family.

Abstract
The paper argues that although woman's suffrage seems that it has come a long way since Kate Chopin wrote "The Awakening" almost two centuries ago, in fact nothing has really changed for women and they are still seen as subordinate to men in society. The paper examines the character of Edna in Chopin's book and uses her to show that in the workplace, society, politics and education, women's subordination to men has remained despite superficial changes through the ages.

From the Paper
"As a matter of fact, clothing shows how men manipulate women to their entertainment. Shorts, plunging necklines, tights, bikinis are all viewing delights to the male libido. Women may feel wanted when men express admiration, but that is all it is: a using. Women are a utility in and outside of the home and what is deplorable is that it even serves a deep need in women for adulation, not knowing that the adulation is skin-deep and passing. That is why clothing induces much frustration in women and they also refuse to confront this reality of subservience.
Edna Pontellier feels this kind of bondage in her clothes too and so she removes them as a sign of her breaking out of woman's bondage to clothes. She makes no excuses for what she really is, hidden behind thick and ornamented garments, and pursues her heart's desire."

Abstract
This paper studies the possible reasons for the stock market crash in 1929. It examines John Kenneth Galbraith's book 'The Great Crash: 1929' which claims that the reason for the Great Crash was the over-zealousness and miscalculations of financial analysts and brokers at the time. It discusses how the basis economic theories were suddenly irrelevant afterward. Finally, it blames the stock market crash on investors that did not want to see the reality.

From the Paper
"John Kenneth Galbraith's book "The Great Crash: 1929 claims that the depression of 1929 was a direct result of the miscalculations of the financial analysts and the other brokers which caused the crash of the stocks. He states that these actors of the economic field had a direct involvement in the stock market and had become too greedy to actually see what was happening to the market around them---too greedy to actually fear the recuperation's of what was easily predictable as the downfall."

Abstract
In this paper the author examines James Baldwin's, "The Fire Next Time," which looks at the explosion or revolution that will result if freedom for African Americans is not achieved. The author identifies and examines, in depth, various thematic threads throughout the novel and also makes reference to the story of Hamlet when comparing the African-American search for their identity in America.

From the paper:

"Baldwin's talent for running words excitingly across a page, crying thoughts to heights of perception, rarely falters. When he discusses the African American's need to fight back against white oppression, he recognizes that the African American although sometimes deluded by promises is actually less deluded than whites that believe that they are giving freedom to blacks."
