Abstract
This paper reviews the concept of freedom as defined by Carlos Fuentes, a novelist, essayist and travelling diplomat. According to this paper, Fuentes believes that without the quest for freedom, freedom would not exist.

From the Paper
"Freedom is often a concept that is taken for granted, misunderstood, and, as Carlos Fuentes notes, is often defined for the citizens of the world by institutions that have no other ultimate interest but to limit the freedom that appears to be so fleeting. Novelist, essayist, and traveling diplomat, Carlos Fuentes' quotation on what freedom is inspires the reader to think about what freedom truly is. It envelops concepts familiar and new, traditional and rebellious, and in the end encompasses the multitudes of facets that have founded nations, inspired societies, and given rise to revolution. In the beginning of Fuentes' thought provoking quote, he notes that freedom is freedom based on people seeking it. This thought is comprised of two primary parts. First, without the quest for freedom, freedom would not exist. It is the process of striving for freedom that ensures that the concept continues to exist."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the poems "The Young Housewife" and "This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams, which reflect domestic desire and the problems of intimacy that lie hidden within American suburbia. The author points out that Williams shows an abstracted form of simile, allusion and symbolism to reflect the frustrations of couples trying to live with each other in divided homes. The paper contends that, by actively revealing his own lack of sexual fulfillment, Williams is able to convey these messages in these simply written, yet cryptic poems.

From the Paper
"This poetical analysis explores the theme of domestic desire within the two poems: "The Young Housewife" and "This Is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams. By revealing William's poetry related to domestic desire through simile, allusions and symbolism, one can learn why these two poems reflect isolation and the romantic problems within 20th century American suburbia. In understanding William's poems through the theme of domestic desire, one can assume unfulfilled sexual and romantic energies that reside within his verse. The poem "The Young Housewife" reflects the barriers and sexuality of the suburbs in the way that Williams present both the woman and the doctor in the poem."

Abstract
This paper considers the differing ways that Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams saw women through their love poems in the early twentieth century. It further examines the interrogation of a young woman in "A Portrait of a Lady" who to the consternation of the poet, interrogates back. It also looks at the way in which Pound examines women in his "Portrait d'Une Femme."

From the Paper
"William Carlos Williams and Ezra Pound are alike in many ways. Both were born in the 1880s, both attended the University of Pennsylvania in the first decade of the 20th century and both rose to become two of the most celebrated poets of their generation. Despite these similarities, they differ in a number of important ways as well. While Williams attended medical school and went on to become a physician in a career that lasted well over forty years, Pound lived the life of a journalist and literary vagabond, spending time in London and Paris before settling in Italy as he championed a generation of rising stars that ranged from James Joyce to..."

Abstract
This paper examines the different ways that Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams make use of Imagism in their respective poems "In A Station at the Metro" and "The Red Wheelbarrow." The paper explores the objects they delineate and the juxtapositions of urban and rural that are present in both poems. Additionally, the paper considers the way in which both men use a personal experience for different ends.

From the Paper
" William Carlos Williams and Ezra Pound were founding members of the school of Imagism that gripped Modern American Poetry in the early twentieth century. Their early attitudes toward Imagism are perhaps nowhere better expressed than in these two brief, eloquent poems published during that era. In these two seminal works of American literature they both expressed a wealth of new attitudes toward language, and their society that prefigured the post-war attitudes of the 1920s and beyond. In his essay "The Progression of William Carlos Williams' use of Imagery" Hyun-Young Cho writes that The Red Wheelbarrow "remains so true to the..."

Abstract
This paper explains that William Carlos William, in his poem "The Red Wheelbarrow", utilizes imagery, symbolism, simplistic structures and a free form style to illustrate the meaning of the poem in both a literal and metaphorical sense. The author points out that the meaning behind the picture created by this poem is left up to the reader to discover by looking for patterns in a deceptively simple sentence. The author underscores that, through these patterns, the readers rediscover the beauty in a simple wheelbarrow, a simple sentence and a simple poem. The paper concludes that the plain red wheelbarrow glistens by the end of the poem, in the calm following a storm, like the reader's glow of excitement after unraveling the mystery of the scene.

From the Paper
"The structure of the poem is perhaps the most interesting characteristic of it. The simple vernacular is underscored by the structure. Because the sentence is broken into four stanzas, the reader is forced to go line by line, scrutinizing each syllable, looking for meaning. Each word was carefully chosen and packs a punch, as was the author's intention. There are relatively few words, which causes the reader to notice the author's word choice more than if the poem were longer. Additionally, the pauses between each stanza allow the reader to reevaluate the mental image they are creating, as explained previously."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in his short story, "The Use of Force", William Carlos Williams examines the justifiable application of physical force. The author points out that all of the doctor's respect appears to go to Mathilda, the "damned little brat", who had the spunk and courage to resist him all along. The paper concludes that even an apparently mild-mannered country doctor can enjoy the passionate feeling of having a strong opponent and admire the resistance.

From the Paper
"The narrator inquires about a sore throat and both parents explain that the child says "her throat don't hurt her." The slightly exasperated doctor wonders if they have actually looked and discovers that they have not. Mathilda will not cooperate, though, and the doctor tries to reason with her. Attempting lamely to help, the mother says, "Come on, do what he tells you to, he won't hurt you." The doctor is disgusted that the mother used the word "hurt" and he says "I ground my teeth in disgust" at the parents bungling attempts."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine Carlos Fuentes's "The Death of Artemio Cruz", with a view toward showing how Artemio's character personifies the ultimate betrayal of the ideals of the Mexican Revolution. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which Artemio's character develops, and then to show how Fuentes uses him as an analogue for the success of the goals of the revolution on one hand, and for the failure of the ideals of the revolution on the other.

Artemio is an emblem of the successful revolutionary who has co-opted the goals of the revolution to achieve economic gain and a more generalized personal power. To put it another way, one set of oligarchs (disguised as petty bourgeois) has supplanted the other, and by the time the new oligarchy has been established, one can hardly tell the new regime from the old one, ... "

From the Paper
"Critics have characterized William Carlos Williams' short stories as "terribly real," exhibiting both "bitterness and compassion." Kenneth Rexroth gets closer to the matter, categorizing the stories as "the completely realized real." The stories depict a antinomic reality, he suggests, consisting of a combative coexistence between what is immediately apprehensible and a force lying "behind the colored faces of phenomena.":

This research will deal with the body awareness aspect of don Juan's teachings. The discussion will include Carlos Castaneda's four books dealing with the teachings of don Juan: The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yagui Way of Knowledge, A Separate Reality: Further Conversations with Don Juan, Journey to Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juan, and Tales of Power.

In our society, that is, Western tradition, the duality of mind and body has been stressed, as well as the importance of the mind over the body in order to perceive and learn about the world. Western man thinks in terms of "me and my body," but the two are not separate, and mind is not greater than body. We are our bodies.

Castaneda's experiences with don Juan showed him that the body, not mind/reason/order, interacts with the environment, ... "
