Abstract
This paper examines the novel "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry", set in the 1930's in Mississippi. It looks at how in the novel, the action is seen through the eyes of Cassie, a young, naive black girl. It discusses how the novel is semi-autobiographic and how it shows us the different lives of black and white people, in terms of education, at home and how black people are treated. In particular, it analyzes Cassie's visit to Strawberry with Big Ma where she experiences prejudice and discrimination in many events such as setting up the stall, the Barnet store, Lillian Jean and Big Ma's betrayal and many other significant events.

From the Paper
"The place where Cassie lives is an effective device for telling the story because it helps Cassie to grow up quickly and realize the society she lives in is really like. Because Cassie is young, it is interesting to see how she reacts to racist situations, which she has never experienced before. Racism is a big factor in the novel, which Cassie learns to accept through a number of experiences. At the beginning of the chapter, Cassie is feeling excited and looking forward to seeing Strawberry. At the end of the chapter she is feeling angry, humiliated and betrayed by Big Ma because of what happened. Throughout the chapter, things become worse for Cassie. However, she learns from her experiences and she shows her bravery and she even teaches Lillian Jean a lesson, by getting her revenge."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in "Uncle Tom's Cabin", employing the gothic genre as the epitome of evil that slavery can bring, Stowe rewards the bad Christian with a full life and the good Christian with a miserable end. The author points out that Uncle Toms die and those who ignore the Bible, like Cassy, are rewarded; The Christian laws that Stowe urges one to practice are inverted. The paper relates that, while this inversion does seem contrary to her purpose, it is the horror of this scenario that works with her main argument against slavery: Christianity and the keeping of slaves are antithetical.

From the Paper
"Throughout his stay on Legree's plantation, Uncle Tom keeps his faith in God, and his death is the result. Singing a Methodist hymn, Tom is interrupted by his new master who declares on page 384, "I have none o' yer bawling, praying, singing niggers on my place...I'm your church now." Even when threatened for his religious beliefs, Tom doesn't abandon them, constantly turning to his bible for relief from hardship he faces. Later, after a long period of habitual suffering, Tom ponders whether, "it was vain to serve God, that God had forgotten him." In the end, such questioning makes Tom's Christian conviction even more pronounced, for it serves as a catalyst for his spiritual visions."

Abstract
This paper examines Article 28, while appearing relatively clear on first reading, has proved problematic and therefore produced a string of case law and discussion, which continues on today. It looks at how, in order to define the term "measure equivalent to a quantitative restriction", (MEQR) one needs to trace the problems and decisions arising from this issue and discusses it in three different sections. It begins with the definition of an MEQR as it stood in the cases prior to Keck and Directive 70/50 and then explores the changes created by the decision in Keck and other cases which followed this judgment. Finally, it examines decisions post Keck and the fact that they have largely regressed to the decisions taken before this case.

From the Paper
"MEQR's can essentially be split into two categories; those that directly or indirectly discriminate against imported goods, and those that are "indistinctly applicable" to the sphere of Article 28. In the former category, one of the bigger decisions is that of Dassonville , which continued to be used in many subsequent cases. The case concerned a Belgian law stating goods bearing a designation of origin must be accompanied by a certificate from the government of the exporting country certifying their right to that designation. Dassonville were a French company who exported Scotch Whiskey and they appealed that it would be very difficult for third party exporters to obtain such a certificate in respect of goods already in free circulation in the third country. The ECJ upheld the Dassonville appeal, stating that the law would impose a greater burden on those seeking to import goods into Belgium, and would therefore hinder free movement, and is consequently a MEQR as prohibited by the Treaty."
