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
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
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
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
A discussion about how one of the key elements in "Inferno" is the use of chronology and numbers to express certain ideals about his foes and political views. This paper supports the thesis that Dante's experiment was successful in the use of allegory to hide underlying political ideas that were otherwise dangerous in his time and that chronology and numbers played an important role in his ability to do this.

From the Paper
"Dante's Inferno was an experiment in the expression of subversive political views. Some of the political views hidden in the allegory of "Inferno" were dangerous if publicly expressed in Dante's time. Numbers played an important part in the allegory of "Inferno". One might note that the numbers of the Cantos themselves in which we find a particular foe is important in their description and the expression of Dante's political views about them. The number of their layer of Hell is also significant. Numerology is important in determining the political viewpoint with which Dante identified. The chronology of "Inferno" is one of the most widely studied aspects Dante's work and other works of that time period. (Carlyle, p.6). Even the "Chronological placement of the narrative from Good Friday through Easter Sunday, 1300, particularizes the experience even as it implies the death and rebirth that attends a critical stage in any person's life" (Forman, p. 500). Numbers give us clues as to his political viewpoint, but do not tell the entire story in themselves. They must be weighed with all of the other allegorical clues to find Dante's true political views."

Abstract
This paper explains that Virginia Woolf's "To The Lighthouse," which is told using "stream of consciousness," is a modernist anti-Bildungsroman in which the reader sees excellent examples of experimentation with time shifting, complex allusions, multiple narrative voices, and inter-subjectivity. The author points out that, in the" Time Passes" section, human beings become secondary, while the novel shifts from its focus on psychology to chronology by contrasting its characters with the characters in the first section, by demonstrating the cruel effects of time on the Ramsey's house and on the people who spent time there in the first section of the novel, and by miniaturizing the historical time for Europe during and after World War I. The paper relates that the material objects used in the second part are reminders of the elegant Victorian life shown in the first half of the novel; and, in the second section, the reader sees how these objects can't save the people from the forces of nature and the outside world. Instead, the reader is given the idea that only outside forces can affect the social fabric of society, rather than the philosophies of the men, as in the first section.

From the Paper
"The story is told in three sections. The first section, "The Window," takes up half the book and introduces us to the many characters and complex relationships within the Ramsey's summer house. Each character's interior thoughts are shown, as well as the other character's reactions and influences upon them. As the day comes to an end, we are left content as Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey manage to put their differences behind them and give the other what they needed in order to be at peace within their relationship. However, the second section, "Time Passes," takes a very different approach. The omniscient narrator tells of the decay of the house over the years and of the deaths of Mrs. Ramsey, Prue and Andrew. The house is occupied by darkness, wind and rain, as opposed to the people whose relationships and lives we read about in the first section. The third section, "The Lighthouse," takes place back at the summer house ten years after the first section."

Abstract
This essay investigates such egyptology techniques and disciplines as historiography, chronology, philolgy, palaeography, lexigraphy, papyrology, epigraphy, anthropology and ethno-archaeology that can be employed to understand the ancient egyptian economy ranging from such topics as trade activities, importance of particular materials such as gold and silver, bureaucracy, the non-monetary economy and foreign trade relations.

From the Paper
"There are many methodologies and techniques that could be employed to reconstruct and analyze the past in order to better understand the ancient Egyptian economy. Historiography is one such methodology that could be of use because history writing encompasses many different aspects of society and culture. A concise history of Egypt would be particularly beneficial in understanding the ancient Egyptian economy because it would provide an insight into how the economy developed over time, perhaps illustrating the different trade activities that emerged or the gradual increase in free enterprise and markets for example. However historians and Egyptologists are reluctant to write an Egyptian history and instead concentrate on such aspects as cataloguing and labelling (Morkot 2003). Understandably there are a number of difficulties in attempting to write a concise Egyptian history including the sheer amounts of data available, as well as the increased specialization of Egyptologists who focus on one area of study, causing problems for the writing of an overall Egyptian history. Therefore using the methodology of historiography, although would provide a valuable insight into the ancient Egyptian economy, is currently lacking in its availability. Along with this there is also a scarcity of evidence in terms of surviving texts from Egypt that attempt to tell accounts of Egyptian history and this to provides problematic when attempting to use historiography to interpret the ancient Egyptian economy."
