From the Paper
"Caroline Bynum has been long recognized in the historical halls of academia for her exceptional scholarship and stature as a researcher. This has proved once again to be the case with "Jesus as Mother: Studies in the Spirituality of the High Middle Ages". The subtitle should lead the reader towards the author's subject matter. This text is not simply about feminine images of Christ during the 12th century in Europe. Instead, this text is composed of five distinct essays and studies, which taken together are capable of providing readers with a broader understanding of the importance of the spiritual world and the social role that it played in that historical context. Each essay could be taken alone as an individual study on the varied subject matter."

"The following paper will look at the eventful life of eighteenth-century German dramatist and actor, Caroline Neuber, and describe the obstacles she and other women faced in German theatre at the time, the dramatic reforms of the theatre scene she championed, the inventive (or at least courageous) way in which she used dramaturgical conventions like the prologue to advance her agenda, her commitment to re-shaping German comedy so that it would acquire the gravitas she felt it deserved, and - lastly - her pivotal relationship with Johann Christoph Gottsched. In so doing, what will emerge is a portrait of a woman who was a before-her-time..."

From the Paper
"This is a wonderful story about an African American maid, Caroline, who works for a Jewish family in humid Lake Charles, Louisiana. Caroline is very tired of being stuck in the basement of the Gellman home, doing laundry, and meanwhile, she and the eight-year-old Gellman boy, Noah, form a relationship that is edgy, cross-cultural, but very interesting. Noah looks up to Caroline a lot, in fact he idolizes her; but even though she likes him, she is gruff with him. She lets him smoke cigarettes with her, and they form a bond in that way. "Caroline never tells me so but I know Daddy mustn't know," Noah says (15). "A secret her and me can share: Our daily cigarette...""

Abstract
This paper looks at the life of eighteenth-century German dramatist and actor, Caroline Neuber. It describes the obstacles she and other women faced in German theater at the time, the dramatic reforms of the theater scene she championed and the inventive way in which she used dramaturgical conventions like the prologue to advance her agenda. The paper also discusses Neuber's commitment to re-shaping German comedy so that it would acquire the gravitas she felt it deserved. Finally, the paper examines Neuber's pivotal relationship with Johann Christoph Gottsched.
From the Paper
"Still, for all the troubles which attended her life-long foray into the German theatre, Neuber should be remembered for her many accomplishments. Not least of all, she was one of the very few theater troupe owners who happened to be female; Neuber was also a committed perfectionist who dedicated herself to raising the standards of the German theater. Not to be overlooked, it was Caroline Neuber, arguably more so than anyone else in German theater at the time, who transformed the improvised, traditional Haupt- und Staatsaktion performances into a genuine national theater which promoted rehearsed and memorized performances of the 'courtly' Alexandrinerdrama variety so much in vogue in France at that time (Eigler & Kord, 75 and 229)."

Abstract
This review offers an analysis of Caroline Bird's "The Case Against College". It explores Bird's major arguments against a college education, where she discusses that it is both a waste of financial resources and does not provide an adequate return of investment. The writer disputes Bird's arguments by offering a critique of her research methodology. The review concludes that although an interesting book, it is ultimately flawed.
From the Paper
"She suggests that students and parents who see college as a status symbol or as evidence of being a "well rounded" individual should seriously reconsider a college education. She sees college as a huge waste of financial resources, and argues that students are often neither intellectually or emotionally richer for the experience. Given that the text was written over 25 years ago, some issues are longer current, and monetary figures are inaccurate. However, many of the issues raised in the articles remain valid to this day."

Abstract
"The Right to Privacy by Ellen Alderman and Caroline Kennedy is an introduction to the wide variety of privacy claims made by American citizens and the fate of those claims in the courts. The book is intended for a general readership, rather than for legal scholars, and it is designed as if in answer to a list of points about privacy that almost any group of Americans would produce if they were asked to name the areas of privacy in which they were most interested. The authors respond to the prevailing idea in American society that there is some kind of legal protection for privacy rights.

The authors respond to the prevailing idea in American society that there is some kind of legal protection for privacy rights. They demonstrate instead that, not only is there little explicit protection of privacy in the United States Constitution or in legislation, the laws that do exist often fail to provide the kind of protection people believe they promise.

From the Paper
"This paper is an examination of Caroline Knapp's Drinking: A Love Story, an account of her passionate love affair with alcohol and the events, thoughts, and realizations that eventually led her to renounce her "lover." The book is a brutally honest glimpse inside the mind of an alcoholic, as she battles the denials and rationalizations that lead her to seek solace in a bottle. Occasionally, she also has brief realizations that her drinking has become a problem, and she seeks out others whose alcoholism seems worse as a way of comforting herself. She examines her family background, especially the psychiatrist father whose own problems with drink and peculiar relationship with his daughter may have helped her use alcohol as a crutch. She also chronicles some of the effort and self-realization required for recovery from this addiction.."

From the Paper
"In the book In Our defense, authors Ellen Alderman and Caroline Kennedy make reference to a number of major civil liberties cases as they illustrate the power and importance of the Bill of Rights. The government is prevented by the Constitution from engaging in a wide variety of behaviors which the Founding Fathers feared, based on their experience in Europe with an unfettered government. While majority rules, it is also true that the Constitution protects the rights of the minority against the onslaught of the majority. The bill of Rights involves a statement of such protections, as an examination of some of the cases cited will show.
