Abstract
The paper discusses the sixteen German lieder (songs) which are largely unknown works of Mozart. The paper explains that Mozart was a forerunner for German lieder and that his influence is seen in many of Franz Shubert's early works. The writer describes some of the stories told by Mozart's songs and compares "An Chloe" to "Abendempfindung", written on the same day, yet polar opposites. The writer explains that "An Chloe" is about the love of a shepherd for a shepherdess and "Abendempfindung" is a reflection on death. The paper compares the styles of Mozart and Schubert's songs. In conclusion, the writer posits that Mozart helped build the foundation for German lieder and although his songs are not the most frequently performed in this genre, they were very important in establishing the tradition of German lieder.

From the Paper
"In "An Chloe", Mozart once again crafts the music exquisitely around the poetry. "An Chloe" is a pastoral poem. Damon, a shepherd, is in love with Chloe, a shepherdess. This song has a six-measure introduction closing with a cadence and is primarily in the tonic. There is a measure of dominant in the third system and the first phrase ends in a cadence. The second phrase moves to the dominant and chromatic elements are presented with the introduction of "und ich halte dich... (and I hold you and kiss...)." This is the beginning of the real passion of the song and it is fitting that the chromaticism begins here. The beginning of the song is repeated in measure 28, but begins to be varied chromatically in measure 35 as the shepherd talks about holding Chloe tightly to his breast. The broken rhythms in measures 41-43 show the breathlessness of anticipation before the soaring vocal line for "eine dustre Wolke mir (a gloomy cloud to me)." The same idea of breathlessness is repeated in measures 49-51 and 56-59 before the climax of the song in measures 62-66. This climax has the most operatic vocal lines so far. The shepherd is saying "aber selig neben dir (but blissful beside you)". The song ends with a final cadence."

Abstract
This paper presents a character study of the main characters of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The paper argues that Aunt Chloe, as opposed to Uncle Tom, is the more realistic depiction of a southern slave.

From the Paper
"Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is universally understood to be one of the most important and deeply penetrating books of its time. Published during episodes of the National Era, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is often credited, in part, for the tensions that led to the American Civil War. Stowe wrote the work as a reaction too the Fugitive Slave Act under which it became illegal for anyone to give aid or assistance to a runaway slave."

Abstract
This paper is an in-depth examination of the novel,"Uncle Tom's Cabin." The author gives us some background about Harriet Beecher Stowe and puts the novel into historical context. The paper examines the different characters in the novel and discusses what role they played and what they represented in history. Some of the characters discussed include Uncle Tom, Aunt Chloe, Eliza and family, Shelby's Ophelia and Simon Legree. The author uses these characters to give an authentic depiction of the slaves and the whites, both northerners and southerners, and the challenges that they both faced during this period in American history. The authors uses examples from the novel to illustrate his points as to the accuracy of the novel's portrayal of slavery and during the period prior to the Civil War.

From the Paper
"The value of the partially white slave is touted again with the Eliza character. She is able to speak clearly and in complete sentences. Described as "beautiful [with] black hair as fine as silk in glossy curls- a delicately formed hand and a trim foot" (Stowe p 5). A blush on her cheek is discernible so this is a clue as to her skin tone as well. Stowe must use this character to solicit empathy from the post Civil War reader regarding the fate of her son. If Aunt Chloe and Uncle Tom's children had been the ones to be sold, sympathy would not have been so easily offered. All mothers regardless of their hue were attached to their children. Uncle Tom's cabin is not able to make this argument. It would not have appealed to the wider audience. Much has been discussed about the African characters but what about the Caucasians. Is the rendering accurate?"
