Abstract
This paper discusses how Faulkner manipulates the reader into sympathizing with "A Rose for Emily's" Miss Emily by skewing the story's chronology to put her funeral first, by providing positive details about her at the beginning and negative details later, and by allowing the reader to view her through the eyes of the townspeople.

From the Paper
"The short story 'A Rose for Emily' by William Faulkner uses an interesting chronological device. The story starts out with Emily's funeral and then begins filling in more details about her life starting with the imaginative story that Colonel Sartoris contrives to explain why he has remitted her taxes a detail that suggests that Emily was a valuable citizen whose lack of income following her father's death was a matter of personal concern to the mayor and the city. By giving the reader ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer provides a chronological history of the Cherokee nation. The writer notes that while an effort is made to focus this paper on the Cherokee who lived near to New Echota it is not possible to limit the focus of this paper to New Echota while simultaneously providing a chronological history of the Cherokee people.

Abstract
The paper argues that reading the three plays "Oedipus the King", "Oedipus at Colonus" and "Antigone" in chronological order gives us more insight into Sophocles' narrative skill. The paper explains that one is able to fully savor the strange fusion of character and destiny that Sophocles manages to pull off as a playwright and storyteller. The paper argues further that although the play cycle has occasional lapses in chronology and internal inconsistencies, the plays also show us how certain characters, in particular, Creon, are able to radically transform themselves over time.

From the Paper
"Sophocles composed the Theban plays during a thirty-six year span. The three plays were actually not composed in chronological order; Antigone was penned first, followed by Oedipus the King, and finally, Oedipus at Colonus, shortly before Sophocles's death. As such, the three plays are rife with inconsistencies that come out when one reads them closely in chronological (i.e. sequential) order. Most notably, at the end of Oedipus the King, Creon has emerged as the undisputed King. He decides to expel Oedipus from Thebes after consulting with Apollo. Creon is then asked to look after Antigone and Ismene, the two daughters of Oedipus, which he agrees to do. In the subsequent plays, however, the two daughters are found wandering about on their own, either having fled with Oedipus or actively campaigning against Creon, who is supposed to be looking after them."

Abstract
There are many expository strategies one can employ in pursuing a study of this sort, but I chose a strict chronological strategy - for the most part. At the same time, I decided it best to follow an informal autobiographical approach - I am writing in the first person - because that allowed me to capture first impressions that might be suppressed or lost if I assumed a more formal tone.

Abstract
The paper provides the chronological development and key historical developments in nursing research in the United States and Europe. The paper shows how the levels of federal involvement, not to regulate but to promote nursing research, address the significant position that nursing research holds within the nursing profession.

From the Paper
"Nursing research has a long history, but until 1946, it really did not gain national attention. According to Glazer and DeKeyser (2000), nursing research is one way to evaluate nursing actions and assess which nursing related treatments are the most effective. Nursing research is becoming more critical today, as Glazer and DeKeyser (2000) tell us that a significant portion of patient care involves technology, patients present the hospital setting with higher acuity issues than before and patients are also being discharged earlier in order to save costs, especially in a managed care environment. The nurse spends more time with a patient than any other health care worker, thus the level of knowledge and research utilization is incumbent upon the nurse (Dr. Danielle West, personal communication, August 4, 2006). Glazer and DeKeyser (2000) also tell us that nurses comprise the highest proportion of health care workers."

Abstract
A discussion of the non-linear film "Memento" in terms of narrative continuity and rupture. It looks at film technques and the thematic effect of the films unconventional narrative. The paper explores the film noir elements used and philosophical and psychological issues in terms of the films structure and themes.

From the Paper
"Christopher Nolan's Memento, described as a neo-noir revenge film uses a rather unconventional non-linear narrative structure to achieve thematic effect. Protagonist Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) suffers from a memory problem, limiting his short term memories to only a few minutes; the narrative structure attempts to put us within Leonard's world by creating a reverse chronological order of events, starting with the killing of Teddy, and moving backwards from there. There are also, in contrast the chronological black and white scenes. Through the "rupture" of the narrative into a series of non-chronological scenes, making meaning and continuity rests on the readers fabula - "the viewer's or reader's mental reconstruction of the narrative's nonchronological arrangement of events into chronological order" . Memento in this sense "demands constant attention from its spectators." , with the movie hinging on the viewer's ability to make continuity from rupture. This narrative structure works to great thematic effect, emphasising the conventional noir elements, mirroring the alienation and disorientation of Leonard, and exploring philosophical and psychoanalytical themes."

Abstract
In this paper, the author traces the history of accounting from the days of early civilization by looking at its gradual development over the next centuries during which writing was invented by accountants; the "invention" of money, banking, and credit during the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations; the introduction of the innovative double entry bookkeeping system by accountants in the 16th century that fueled the Italian Renaissance; the use of sophisticated cost accounting techniques by smart entrepreneurs during the Industrial Revolution; the expanding role of accounting in businesses in the late 19th and early 20th century, and finally, the current state of the accounting profession.

Outline:
The Earliest Traces of "Accounting" in History
Mesopotamian Accountants Invent Writing
Accounting in Ancient Egypt and China
Invention of Coined Money and Banking
Accounting in Medieval Age
Invention of Double Book-keeping by Italian Merchants
Accounting's Role in the Industrial Revolution
Expanding Role of Accounting
The Current State of the Accounting Profession

From the Paper
"Increasing government regulations such as the Bankruptcy Act of 1869 in Britain increased the accountants' role in bankruptcy and liquidations. The Companies Act of 1862 required banks to be audited and the audit became mandatory for all public companies by the end of the century. This further expanded the role of the accountant in auditing. Industrialization in other countries of Europe and the United States at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century, and the rise of big business coincided with the invention of important accounting and business gadgets such as the calculator, typewriter, and tabulating machines. This gave a further boost to accounting and it gradually became an established profession. Accounting firms such as Cooper Brothers (later, Coopers & Lybrand) were formed and big business firms such as Carnegie Steel adopted sophisticated cost accounting to control operations, cut costs, and even eliminate competition to earn huge profits (Ibid). Du Pont, J.P. Morgan, Standard Oil, and General Motors were other big business firms in the U.S. that thrived after adopting modern cost accounting methods."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the crucial events of October, which culminated in the infamous Saturday Night Massacre, were triggered by Archibald Cox's demand for White House tape-recordings that might resolve the conflict between President Nixon's claims of innocence and the testimony of former counsel John Dean, which implicated the President in the Watergate cover-up. The paper further discusses how ultimately, the existence of these tape-recordings, which had been revealed by Alexander Butterfield during the Senate Watergate Hearings in the summer of 1973, provided Cox with a definitive means determining who was telling the truth and who was lying.

From the Paper
"Watergate unfolded over a period of two years against the tragic backdrop of the Vietnam War, which produced a powerful anti-war movement across America in the late nineteen-sixties and early nineteen-seventies. Richard Nixon's Watergate crimes were a direct result of his fear that he would lose his reelection bid in November of 1972 to an anti-war Democrat, and a product of his rampant paranoia about leaks and obsessive penchant for secrecy. Ironically, the break in itself in June of 1972 was a minor crime compared to the massive cover up concocted and carried out by Nixon and high White House officials. "

Abstract
This paper explores the causes of the American Civil War that have been obscured by the contemporary equality of all peoples. The paper looks at the great differences that helped start the war between, not only blacks and whites, but between the North and the South and between those who wished for a union with strong central government and those who believed in the formation of a conglomerate of states without a central authority. The paper chronologically reviews the major historic battles of the Civil War.

From the Paper
"The CSA or Confederate States of America declared themselves conglomerate of states, lacking any final central authority. This division of power proved to be, towards the end of the war, ultimately unworkable. Eventually as well even the CSA debated the need to liberate the enslaved peoples within its borders, because of the untenable fact of having a nation divided between free people and enslaved people. The Union's way of life and industrialization was to triumph over the feudal system of agriculture and plantation-based economies of the South."

Abstract
This paper ask us to reconsider the nature of history in general as well as to reexamine the particular places and times that they are writing about. It seeks to use substitute key theoretical concepts for the traditional chronological structure of history, asking us to consider not what came after what but who had power over whom, and how these social relationships are the causative elements of (each) history. The paper argues that all history is teleological; one is always writing it from what is at that moment the end-point of history and uses gender issues as an example of the hypothesis.

From the Paper
"Every piece of historical description actually describes for the reader two different sets of history. Each historical text discloses to the reader something of what happened during the era under discussion. But it also reveals at least as much about the era in which the history was written. What is considered significant enough to mention, what events are seen as causative rather than incidental, who are the true villains, all of these things may change from one generation's historical account to that of the next, and not because new facts have come to light."
