From the Paper
"Some of the largest Latino businesses have no recognition in the community, Washington State or the United States. Gene Juarez is a business in this category. In the Hispanic 500, large businesses from the state of Washington like Gene Juarez have no recognition in or out of the state. But businesses like Gene Juarez need the recognition and connection to the community. Though Gene was unable to dedicate the time to the chamber recommendations which he thought it deserved, he requested to be kept up to date and remembered in the future. This is clearly an invitation."
"Hispanic, female owned businesses in the State of Washington have a difficult time with business, though they are fast growing as well. The Bellevue Chamber of Commerce recognizes this and has structured events fittingly. What the Bellevue Chamber doesn't have is the Hispanic connection to the rising female businesses. As an edge, the chamber is at the breadth of a completely new market. Raza Mestizas, Buena Vista Travel and Salvadorian Bakery are just three businesses which we surveyed that are owned and operated by females."

Abstract
This paper explains that among the diverse themes of Tsao Hsueh Chin and Kao Ngoh's novel "The Dream of the Red Chamber" are the meaning of jade and stone as relates to Chinese religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Daoism and Chinese society. The author points out that another theme is played out through the feuding of the central characters, which is the authors' way of illustrating the decline of the feudal society. The paper relates that the main protagonists are Black Jade, Chen Shih-yin, who is a wealthy intellectual scholar and Chia Yu-tsun, who has been building up a reputation based on currying favor with higher-ups, all in the name of Chia gaining power personally.

From the Paper
"The wayward, hustler-womanizer Pao Yu, who represents the bad side of the society that the authors write about, later moves into the Garden of the Total Vision, and rules over it as "a crown of beauties," Zhou writes. The girls in the garden are part of a concept of "pristine ignorance...oblivious innocence" and that is a situation that calls for the author to use the term "hundun shijie" ("hundun" means "chaos" in Daoism). Allowing the huckster Pao Yu to rule over innocent girls, a reader could easily surmise, is tantamount to the "chaos" in society, in the metaphor; insensitive rulers, power brokers in that 18th Century society were likely able to take advantage of innocent, powerless civilians in the same way as Pao Yu feeds on young women. Pao even has a dream that he makes love to his niece."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, in Rowling's novel, Harry's character develops, revealing how he matures not only as a wizard, but a person. While still young in this book, Harry learns important lessons that will help him later in life. It explains that his unusual heritage provides the perfect backdrop for the story in that Harry must learn how to be brave and have faith.

From the Paper
"One interesting aspect of the novel is the voice that Harry hears early in the chapters. When Harry hears the voice say that it is "time to kill" (Rowling 137), his instinct to follow to voice in hopes to prevent it from doing any harm. This is a characteristic that Rowling continues to enhance with Harry. His instinct is to do good things and prevent evil from occurring, yet the voice is something that Harry does not understand. This lack of understanding is the source of much angst for Harry and he must learn to deal with it in a positive manner."

Abstract
The paper analyzes characters, elements and plots in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" in order to illustrate how the novel contains the elements of a high fantasy novel. The paper posits that in the novel, high fantasy is the dominant genre because it specifically targets the adult segment of the market, wherein fantasies require a greater understanding and imagination development.

From the Paper
"With the popularity of the Harry Potter book series, the fantasy genre is said to have been revived, increasing awareness about books and authors who are credited to be good examples of this particular literary genre. However, the fantasy genre, with its revived popularity, has also evolved to become a 'higher form of fantasy'--that is, the creation of high fantasy. The concept of high fantasy is controversial in that it takes the genre to a higher level or form, which, considering that fantasy is already a high form of the human imagination's expression, takes fantasy to a higher, if not highest, development."

Abstract
This is a college level book review essay which discusses the inner workings of the Supreme Court as told from one of its own. Edward Lazarus was a clerk for Judge Blackmun and got to see first hand, exactly what goes on in the U.S. Supreme Court.

From the Paper
"Prior to my reading of Edward Lazarus' Closed Chambers (New York: Penguin Books, 1998), I held your typical first year law student ideals about the prestige and lawfulness of those unselfish caretakers of the United States Constitution, more commonly referred to as our United States Supreme Court Justices. That is, I believed that there was no political spin or other tempting thought which could provoke a Supreme Court Justice to venture off his/her path of maintaining the integrity of our Constitution and our judicial system. However, by the time I finished reading this book, Edward Lazarus had me doubting my idealistic beliefs in this regard."
