Abstract
In this article, the writer examines Chief Seattle's use of language in his "Letter to President Pierce" in 1855. The writer points out that Chief Seattle writes from a position of vulnerability, which affects his use of rhetorical devices throughout his speech. The writer discusses that Seattle uses poetic language to express his peoples' views, evidently hoping that emotion will sway a leader who has more economic and military power at his disposal. Further, the writer looks at Chief Seattle's use of irony and provides a rhetorical analysis of the letter.

From the Paper
"Bitter honesty and resignation rather than hope defines the letter. Seattle's letter is more like the last words of a dying man than someone writing a plea for consideration. It is as if Seattle believes his tribe's fate is sealed, and at best he can make an appeal to Pierce to honor the land his tribe must leave, because he fears (with good evidence) that the whites will destroy that land.
"Seattle uses poetic language to express his peoples' views, evidently hoping that emotion will sway a leader who has more economic and military power at his disposal. But always, his bluntness comes through and he is not submissive or flattering towards President Pierce and the American nation ..."

Abstract
The position of the traditional R & D director has evolved into that of the chief technology officer, which is much more broad and encompassing. The paper shows that the primary role of the chief technology officer is to deliver the total value of technology for the corporation, to ensure that the firm has the technologies that it needs to achieve its goals and to facilitate technology transfer across business units. The paper looks at various issues on the subject, including the evolution of this role in the business world, areas of responsibility for the C.T.O. and the future of this field.

From the Paper
"I believe that the chief technology officer is an important link between government laboratories and U.S. corporations, because one of the primary functions of the CTO is to assess the need to form partnerships with government institutions in order to exploit the total technology capacity of the organization. A government role is also vital in promoting technologies that are critical to economic growth, the creation of good jobs, and meeting the common needs of the nation, but that cannot attract adequate private investment especially in the cases of high technical risks and long payback horizons.
Overall, it is clear that the CTO has a vital role in building a strong U.S. base of fundamental science, and developing a business environment that encourages innovation and investment."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and discuss the story "The Old Chief Mshlanga" by Doris Lessing. It deals with issues such as what kind of dominance is sought, to what degree victims collaborate in their own destruction, the views of the oppressed and the oppressor. It concludes by exploring the kind of future that this work seem to predict.

From the Paper
"This short story is really an autobiographical work, discussing the author's experiences while living in the white dominated society of Rhodesia, in southern Africa. The main characters of the tale are the Jordan family, who seek to take over native lands, because they need them for white colonization. The family, just like all the colonists, seeks to dominate, and eventually eliminate the natives from the area. They do not care where they go, just as long as they leave, and leave the colonists alone. "Conflicts with the Jordan family perhaps incur and certainly expedite the re-settlement. A dispute over village goats that trample the Jordan's farm ensues between Chief Mshlanga and Nkosikaas' father after Mr. Jordan confiscates the goats" (Hurley)."

Abstract
This paper is an examination of the narrator's point of view in the story. The writer first gives a succinct but thorough plot summary, a discussion of the major themes, and a brief discussion of European colonialism in Africa. It then discusses how the major crisis experienced by the narrator in the "Old Chief Mshlanga" leads to changes in her life. It argues that the major crisis eventually leads to the positive change of the narrator beginning to see the evils of white colonialism in Africa.

From the Paper
"The Old Chief Mshlanga, written in 1951, is a story of a white girl. The story takes place in an African country, and as the plot and characters develop, the girl eventually becomes aware of the injustices and cruelty perpetrated by colonialists on the African people.

"The story is set in Zimbabwe, an African country, which had been colonized by European interests by the start of the 20th century. Europeans colonized Africa in the hopes of acquiring natural resources, new markets, and new areas for investment. There was a large push to colonize Africa in the late 1800's resulting in the displacement of many native African people, and the imposition of white rule on the African populace. As can be expected, there was a great deal of tension and difficulty surrounding African colonialism."

From the Paper
"The story of Shawnee chief and military leader Tecumseh is one that is all too common in its combination of tragedy, courage, and unimaginable loss, a story told dozens of times as the native peoples of North America sought to maintain their culture and save their live while fighting against forces with what would prove time and again to be overwhelmingly superior weapons. This paper examines the role that Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa played in organizing Indian resistance to white rule in the Ohio River valley and in seeking to create intertribal alliances and the factors that lead to their defeat and Tecumseh's death."
