Abstract
This paper considers Charles Dickens' novel "Bleak House" in reference to other works. The paper highlights the major conflict in the novel, which involves a lawsuit. Many quotes are used to support the paper's comparisons and contrasts. The paper also analyzes various symbols that appear in "Bleak House." Finally, the paper evaluates women's roles in Victorian society, giving a general history of those roles and citing examples from the novel.

From the Paper
"In the representation of gender in relation to crime, men are usually those that are acitvely involved in society and the institutions of law, like Mr. Tulkinghorn or Detective Bucket or Krook, who is called " Lord Chancellor " because of his habit to collect a lot of useless things, thus making a mess out of his home, and whose death by " spontaneous combustion" is very significant because it is as if the evil purges itself. Many of the men in the novel are part of the "system " and thus play their part in the crimes."

Abstract
In this article, the writer provides a synopsis and examination of Charles Finney's lecture, "What a Revival of Religion Is". The writer points out Finney's central contentions and looks at which arguments are stronger or weaker.

From the Paper
"First he points out that Religion is the work of man something that many religious people through the centuries have failed to see. Finney acknowledges that Religion is something for man to do not-as so many before him had assumed-something that God had already set up. Basing his view of revival on this fact Finney asserts that revivals are needed to promote religion because men are ..."

Abstract
The paper looks at how in his essay, "What's Wrong with Negative Liberty?" Charles Taylor argues against the conclusion that negative freedom is prior to, or more important than positive freedom. The paper shows how he argues against this conclusion in a variety of convoluted ways, and the paper asserts that this renders his arguments ineffective, for there is little focused, sustained, coherent argument evident in this essay. The paper explains that the primary basis of his arguments seems to be his contention that proponents of ideas of negative freedom propose too narrow a definition and only identify external obstacles to freedom.

Abstract
This is a write-up of a chemistry laboratory experiment looking at Charles' Law, which states that at constant pressure, temperature and volume are directly proportional to each other. The paper describes two experiments: (1) a gas is heated and its temperature and volume change noted and compared; and (2) a candle is burned in an inverted test tube set in a pan of water. The paper describes that as the oxygen in the tube is used up, water rises in the tube, and when there is no more oxygen left the flame is extinguished.

Abstract
This paper reviews the work of designer Charles Eames, focusing specifically on the Eames chair. The Eames chair is a relatively late modernist design that has become ubiquitous in offices, schools and many homes. This paper further discusses how this design has been an influence on the development of other furnishings expressing the same aesthetics and using many of the same materials and methods.

From the Paper
"The modernist era extends from the 1920s to about the 1960s, with some dispute over when post-modernism begins and even what it entails. Modernism was an aesthetic development that became a movement once it was noticed and then deliberately practiced. Prior to that, Modernism began as part of an effort to create a new environment to replace the old around the beginning of the twentieth century, following in the wake of similar changes in political, social, literary, and other spheres of society. Modernism developed into a movement and by the 1920s was a conscious artistic expression manifested in painting, sculpture, drama, architecture, and design. "

Abstract
The English and the Dutch fought three wars in the seventeenth century of which the first two were about trade and the third about King Charles II and his attempts to gain power. This essay outlines these wars and the impact they had on the trade, politics and religion of Europe at that time. It also allows us to understand better the motives and drive behind the English king engaging in various treaties, alliances and of course battle. Great detail is paid to historical fact.

From the Paper
"The Dutch naval wars have been viewed as having lesser historical importance than many other events of the same time period, such as the English civil wars and the restoration of Charles II. However, these wars had a great impact on the trade, politics and religion of seventeenth century Europe. Three wars were fought between England and the Dutch Republic, the first two about trade. The third war, on which focus has been aimed, dealt with the monarch of England, Charles II, and his attempts to gain power. The third Dutch naval war failed to enhance Charles II's power because the war went badly and caused the treaty of Dover to backfire."

Abstract
This paper provides a discussion of landscape gardening from an art history perspective.

From the Paper
"Landscape gardening is an art form that is often used to compliment the architecture of buildings and to provide outdoor spaces for individual and public benefit and pleasure. Andrew Jackson Downing helped pave the way for landscape gardening in American society when he established a number of nurseries and began designing landscape gardens along the Hudson River above New York City. As one historian notes, no American has built for himself a more permanent monument than Downing the landscape gardener (Elliott)."
