From the Paper
"Christopher Robin Milne died on April 20, 1996. He was the original Christopher Robin who owned the stuffed bear called Winnie-the-Pooh and his father A. A. Milne wrote some of the world's most famous children's books about his son and his toy animals. The obituaries for Christopher Milne stressed the fact that the "attention this brought him from Pooh fans didn't always sit well with the real Christopher Robin" ("Transition" 87). But in his autobiography, The Enchanted Places, which deals mainly with his childhood, Milne did not express any dislike for the books. The main problem that he had with his fame was that it was never really his own fame. The question that bothered him the most about the books was whether they had really been written for him, as his father sometimes claimed, or whether he was just the source of an idea that his father could use for his own purposes. In the book Milne tries to understand why it always seemed to him that his father had only pretended to write the books for him."

Abstract
This paper explains that there have been numerous "Robin Hood" movies, but the 1938 version created a new standard for the swashbuckling genre against which to judge various versions of Robin Hood legend. The author points out that character of Maid Marian, the love interest of Robin Hood, has undergone many modifications and enhancements over the years, being portrayed either as a meek and timid member of the royal family or as a strong and royal woman. The paper demonstrates that, in 1938 version of the film, Maid Marian was portrayed as strong-willed woman with a regal attitude, responsible for Robin's rescue at a critical point in the movie.

From the Paper
"This dialogue indicates that Marian was portrayed as a woman with a mind of her own who didn't want others to make decisions for her. Unlike the 1922 version in which Maid Marian didn't even know what her role was in the movie; Enid Bennett, who played the part later recalled, in this version, Havilland knew where she stood in the movie and that is what gave her character strength and meaning. This is how one writer presents the view of Bennett on her role in 1922 version of the film: "Lady Marian Fitzwalter (Enid Bennett) served as Robin Hood's romantic interest and is rescued by Robin Hood in time to end the film in his arms. As Bennett noted years later, she did not have much to do, or know exactly what she was supposed to be doing, but she did enjoy doing it." "

Abstract
This paper examines how Mill's theory of utilitarianism and his greatest happiness principle can be linked to the legendary character of Robin Hood. Even though the character of Robin is a notorious outlaw, the altruism of his actions outweighs the unethical acts and decisions he makes. The paper looks at how Robin Hood epitomizes Mill's theory as he seems to care about the happiness for the greatest amount of people and how there is also the possibility that he simply cared for the oppressed and hated the rich and powerful.

From the Paper
Although no one knows for sure whether the legend of Robin Hood was based on a real historical person, there is no doubt that his actions epitomized the Greatest Happiness Principle that John Stuart Mill writes of. Historians are still searching to find out if there ever was a real life outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor. Some seven hundred years later his persona still stands strong. He has been the subject of books, movies, and television shows. This is because the idea of a person who fights against the almighty rich to help those who are in need is something that all humans cherish. He is a hero to those he helps. He asks for nothing for himself, yet gives to those who need. A man who commits the unethical acts of stealing, violence, and at times even murder (in self defense), is a subscriber to the Greatest Happiness Principle. "

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes the 1938 classic film "The Adventures of Robin Hood." In particular, the paper examines the classic elements of the movie that make it entertaining today without special effects. The paper notes that the way in which the characters are depicted make it an enduring classic, especially Robin Hood appearing as a political leader and not simply a rebel without a cause.

From the Paper
"Michael Curtiz and William Keightley depict Robin Hood sympathetically. The audience's trust in Robin Hood never wavers because of his charm and righteousness. By devoting a large portion of the film to Prince John and his sleazy sidekick Sir Guy of Gisbourne (Basil Rathbourne), the filmmakers fully develop Robin Hood's motive. Thus, Robin Hood becomes far more than his oversimplified persona as someone who stole from the rich to give to the poor. The Adventures of Robin Hood depict the legend as a populist revolt against an unjust and tyrannical government and not as a massive wealth redistribution program."

Abstract
The paper relates how beginning in the 1970s, citizens in poor school districts filed legal challenges to Texas' public education financing system, arguing that relying on property taxes for school funding gave wealthier districts an unfair advantage in educating their children. The Robin Hood Act was created, therefore, to distribute property taxes from wealthy districts to the poor districts. The paper reveals that the Act has succeeded in bringing the property wealth of wealthy districts down but has had less success in bringing the wealth of poor districts up. The paper discusses how the many complaints end in pledges to do away with the system. Nevertheless, political, economic and social forces in Texas make the death of Robin Hood not very feasible, at least in the short-term.

From the Paper
"As a citizen and Texas homeowner, I am against the Robin Hood Act. The Act has resulted in my property taxes increasing without offering my children the benefits of those increases. The increases, as well as part of the base property taxes, are in use outside of my area and are in use in other school districts throughout the State."
"I think the Robin Hood Act is an ineffective way to fund schools because under the plan, local property taxes are the primary basis of funds for the 1,036 Texas school districts with the intention of levying a property tax. In 1999-2000, local taxes made up an additional 50 percent of school district revenues. The significant variation in school districts' taxable property results in a large gap between low-wealth and high-wealth school districts' ability to raise local funds for financing educational costs."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the case study of Robin Hood by using the Value Driven Management Model. The Value Driven Management Model analyzes eight drivers, which include External Culture, Organizational Culture, Individual Employee, Customer, Supplier, Third-party, Owner, and Competitor. The Robin Hood case study utilizes several of these value drivers, including Organizational Culture, Individual Employee, Customer, Owner, Third-party, and Competitor.

From the Paper
"Robin's idea of organizational culture involved his merrymen to follow his vision of vengeance for the sheriff and his vision did not have a clear strategic plan for conquering the sheriff. He believed that strength lay in numbers so that quantity, not quality had a dramatic effect on his mission. He did not know if his men had the same vision he did. He was uncertain of his progress with the campaign, the disposition of his forces, recent moves, and options that confronted him. He did not comprehend how the impact of his decisions would affect his band. Decisions made or actions taken that run counter to the internal culture of an organization, may, depending upon their magnitude, seriously decrease value over time (Pohlman, 2000)."

Abstract
In this study of the book "Mutation" by Robin Cook the writer of the paper shows how Cook uses two distinct tones to address the reader - scientific detachment versus human concern. The writer shows that by using conflicting tones, Cook ensures that the reader does not take sides.

From the Paper
"Most of the narrative traces the activities of Victor and Marsha, at home, at work and trying to discover their son. As is necessary to the plot, Cook devotes two sections of the novel to incidents involving the deaths of the Murray and Hobbs children (Chapter 2). This mention titillates us at the beginning; the reader sees a possible relationship with the story. It is only at the end that we discover that VJ ingeniously murders the two children (Chapter 14)."

Abstract
This paper discusses A. A. Milne's final book in the "Pooh" series, "The House at Pooh Corner". The paper examines how Milne shows the importance of both education and imagination through the storyline in this book. The paper claims that Milne wants to teach children preparing to start school to approach it as a new adventure, a new world to explore, but they must remember to bring imagination with them.

From the Paper
"For years, A.A. Milne has charmed young readers with his lovable characters, Pooh Bear, Christopher Robin, and company. In the course of several novels, children met and fell in love with Pooh and his friends. Children were transported to the magical forest and carried along on all of Pooh's grand adventures, which culminate in Milne's final Pooh novel, The House at Pooh Corner. Although Pooh will not embark on any new adventures, he remains a favorite character in children's literature. In the final episode of Pooh, Milne leaves his readers with many fond memories. More importantly, he weaves an important message into the final adventures of Winnie the Pooh."

Abstract
This paper argues that A.A. Milne's children's literature should be taught in the core curriculum of English Literature Classes in high school and college. The paper takes the position that Milne's books are works of serious literature.

From the Paper
"Most people when they are young are introduced to stories and nursery rhymes as an initiation to the world of communication and learning. Preschool and primary school teachers use fairy tales, nursery rhymes and children's stories in order to engage their students so that the students will enjoy school and want to learn more. This is the beginning of learning to read and write. Somewhere along the line however due to social pressure, state and federal testing guidelines and other demands ..."
