From the Paper
"This study will describe and discuss the relationships of the main characters in Joyce Cary's l939 novel, Mister Johnson, about black-white relations in British colonial Nigeria.
The primary relationship in the book is that between the African clerk Johnson and the District Officer Harry Rudbeck. Most of the other relationships in the book---such as that between Johnson and Sergeant "Sargy" Gollup---are developed by Cary to help strengthen and clarify the relationship between Johnson and Rudbeck. These two characters are meant by Cary to symbolize the relationship between the white British colonial in the position of ultimate power in Africa and the subservient African who derives a major part of his identity from his relationship with powerful whites who he is continually trying to please."

Abstract
The "Tragedy of Mariam" focuses on Elizabeth's Cary's desire to develop a platform from which women can speak, thereby offering a fuller understanding of women as individuals. This paper examines Cary's exploration of gender, language and silence in "The Tragedy of Mariam". It looks at how the play's expression of these themes is sometimes open and at other times covert. By concentrating on the issues of public and private speech, it attempts to determine the effect that crossing patriarchal boundaries had on women in early modern England.
From the Paper
"The Tragedy of Mariam is often categorized as a Senecan closet drama; Cary, it seems, had no intention of taking the play to the public stage. This allowed Cary to distance herself from the popular theatres associated with lower social classes and associate herself with elite, aristocratic groups of writers. Prior to 1660, women had no role in public theatre; even the simple act of writing pushed the boundaries of acceptable female behaviour. By creating a closet drama, Cary becomes a perfect example of how early women dramatists created acceptable spaces for their dramatic voice, using theatrical settings, which helped them to justify female self-expression."

From the Paper
"INTRODUCTION
As innovations come out to further the way in which the oral professionals overcome patients problems, it is necessary to look at some of this new technology, and how it is dealt with in scientific journals. One such area in which new advances have occurred is in the area of sealants, the plastic which a dentist bonds into the grooves of the chewing surface of a tooth in order to help prevent tooth decay and cavities. While research findings overwhelmingly document the need to educate the public and increase knowledge and acceptance of oral health care professionals about this caries-preventive technology (Gilpin). By looking at the research and critical comments, as well as clinical evaluations of sealant advances, it is possible to create a useful picture of just how well sealants currently ..."

A look at how the rising Christian church influenced and literally took over the ideas of learning and teaching and carying on from one generation to another the basics needed to improve civiliaation and expand the boundaries of human knowledge. Monastacism was a retreat for pious intellectuals and teachers, and the basics for learning- trivium (for liberal arts) and quatrivium foir sciences were developed under the duidance of Cassiodorus and those who followwed, leading to the eventual Renaissance
From the Paper
Intellectual Life and Christianity in the Emerging West There was Western civilization well before the advent of Christianity. In fact, the very foundations of intellectualism could be found in the ideas and writings of Plato, Aristotle and other Greek philosophers, and then carried on through the artists, architects, poets and authors of Greece and Imperial Rome. In other words, the emergence of Christianity- after its less than auspicious merging into the culture of Rome- did begin to influence Western thought. The reason is obvious: Christianity brought a disarming acceptance of life and death and, through its message of salvation, embraced the thinkers for whom the decline of the Roman Empire

Abstract
The paper provides a critical analysis of "Goose's Story" by Cari Best and Holly Meade in order to provide a literary insight into how children should learn about injured wildlife. The paper shows how the story provides detailed dialogues that can help both parents and their children understand the proper way to treat animals that are injured in the wild. However, the paper argues that the book clearly reads more like an instruction or teaching manual that the publishers wanted to see in too narrow a market specific category, making the characters typical and one-dimensional.

Abstract
This paper critically evaluates the content and illustrations of "Goose's Story" by Cari Best and Holly Meade. It discusses the content of the story written by Best and how it successfully teaches children how to care for wild animals. The paper also analyzes the impact that the illustrations by Meade have on the child readers. It specifically shows how the illustrations infuse many different artistic mediums that build on Best's written word.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, a critical analysis of Goose's Story by Cari Best and Holly Meade provides a literary insight into how children should learn about injured wildlife. In many cases, the story provides detailed dialogues that can help both parents and their children understand the proper way to treat animals that are injured in the wild. However, the book clearly reads more like an instruction or teaching manual that the publishers wanted to see in too narrow a market specific category, making the characters typical and one-dimensional. In this manner, the book provides valid content, but does not rise to the artistic standards that art and literature should provide for children on a more profound level."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of the Smart Growth Initiative and its affect on the population that is searching for affordable housing. The author details the initiative including its goals, target audience, environmental concerns and successes and failures. The paper also includes the discussion of economic, social and environmental costs of current development patterns and how smart growth provides alternatives to current development patterns, in addition to investigating what it means for affordable housing quality and supply. Land use and planning strategies are also discussed in detail. The author also presents and analyzes a case study of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's) in Cary, North Carolina as a means for the reader to see an actual example of how smart growth can affect affordable housing.
From the Paper
"Current development patterns were driven mainly by public policy. The development patterns are characterized by a separation of uses, dependency on automobiles and the consumption of space in suburban and ex-urban areas. This pattern is supported by strict zoning regulations, transportation systems and a lack of coordination in planning. This is important, because these factors are also obstacles to making changes.
The booming economy of the 1990's has seen housing and rental costs increase at more than twice the rate of inflation. This has meant that many low-income owners are now unable to find affordable housing. Low-income earners are forced into substandard housing, forced to live in areas where affordable housing is available but at the expense of good security or good schooling, or forced to be homeless."
