From the Paper
"The revitalization of St. Clair Avenue north of the Green/Arts Barn Project along with the redevelopment of the transportation infrastructure along St. Clair Avenue provides an opportunity to revitalize the area and linkages between the residents and St. Clair by transforming the area into a "pedestrian pocket. (Southworth, 1997)" This project is of interest at this time because the area presently has the elements required to be a successful neighbourhood, as described by Michael Southworth in a research article that looks at the importance of the walkability of urban neighbourhoods."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes Claire Harris' "Drawing Down a Daughter", explaining it as a book that is not to be described simply. The paper reports that the book is basically a prose poem but also incorporates other styles of writing such as stream of consciousness and life writing. The paper also reports that the book contains a number of interrelated themes but the central one concerns the concept of birthgift. To understand that theme it is essential to understand cultural context which is primarily African as well as Caribbean.

Abstract
In this essay, the development of a sense of self is shown as seen in the lives of two adolescent female protagonists, found in Subhadra Sen Gupta's short story "Good Girls Are Bad News" and Maxine Clair's short story, "The Creation." This realization of the sense of self is seen in the definition of societal norms, the difficulty of "good," and a return to one's original self.

From the Paper
"From the travails of such Biblical characters as David and even Jesus Christ as they learned and grew to the confused maturation of Shakespeare's Prince Hamlet to the developing and lovelorn protagonists of Jane Austen to the angst-ridden Holden Caulfield of Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, one of literature's most oft-used and diverse topics is that of simply growing up. As each of our lives are different, holding unique and varied circumstances and backgrounds, what should be a universal truth and tale is almost always new and fresh with each new young, maturing character that is introduced or described in a story, novel, or play. Differences in setting and ethnicity hold the key to making two such short stories, Maxine Clair's "The Creation" and Subhadra Sen Gupta's "Good Girls Are Bad News," interesting and vital."

Abstract
Whatever "Al Gore: A User's Manual" may claim to be, it is propaganda in the guise of sinister history. Authors Cockburn and St. Clair are wholly committed to a portrayal of Gore that is unabashedly pejorative. There are no insights offered in this book, neither are there critical considerations of the contexts within which Vice-President Al Gore has worked, nor complex understandings behind decisions Gore has made, nor changes Gore might personally have undertaken. It is low-brow literature, jingoistic, and, mostly, quite juvenile in its approach to political analysis.

Abstract
This paper discusses the film and its specific value in sociological perspectives. The writer points out that it is an interesting mystery that, at first, seems to have little implication for the Asian-American Pacific Islander. This film may have much darker sociological and psychological overtones.

From the Paper
"And Then There Were None is a film adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel. The film opens with eight visitors riding in an open boat toward a deserted island where they have all been invited to spend the weekend. None of them knows each other, and none of them seems to have any connection to their unseen host, Mr. "U. N. Owen," or "unknown" to them all, even the two servants hired to oversee the guests during their stay. After their arrival, the butler plays a startling record that plays the nursery rhyme song "Ten Little Indians" with some violent alterations, and then accuses each of the ten people on the island of some form of murder. Then, the guests discover ten "Little Indian" figurines on the dining room table, just as the ten people begin to die. The first is the maid, wife of the butler, and when she dies, one of the ten figurines in the dining room mysteriously disappears."

Abstract
This paper analyzes "Women, Men, and Society" by Claire M. Renzetti and Daniel J. Curran and provides a personal response to the themes in the book. It discusses how it explores the different ways individuals experience gender in contemporary society, and the author's opinions as a female and feminist are related to the issues at hand.

From the Paper
"Although the book can be characterized as feminist in nature, the do not view the construction of gender as simply as a problem for women, but also as a problem for individuals gendered as male. The book's equitable treatment of the two genders suggests that the narrow construction of sexual norms is a problem in society today for males as well as females. The deconstruction of gender is a "problem" for all, not simply a project of liberation for women. To understand what it means to be a woman, and how this is problematic for our culture, one must also understand what our culture constructs as masculine and how this limits men."

Abstract

Abstract
This essay examines Claire Harris's poem "No God Waits on Incense." It argues that the poem exhibits a strong theme of nihilism, as the poetess angrily denounces the meaninglessness of life, especially in the context of the world's indifference to human suffering.

Abstract
Daniel Curran and Claire Renzetti's work, "Theories of Crime" presents us with a tome in which the theories of crime are addressed with poignant and pointed research directly addressing the psychology of crime, punishment and victimization. The paper specifically covers elements of crime within the context of their argument. Crime and punishment, victimization and retribution are our natural and legislated balances. Romancing the outlaw goes part of the way toward explaining the desire not to speak of violent crime in social terms. A first step in breaking these rounds of crime-and-punishment, punishment-and-crime, is to recognize the fact of their existence.
