Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of Bayard's perspective of his father, Colonel John Sartoris, in William Faulkner's Civil War novel, "The Unvanquished". The analysis provides Bayard's young and mature perspectives of his father and contrasts them with Colonel Sartoris' view of himself.

From the Paper
"The perspective of Colonel John Sartoris we receive in William Faulkner's "The Unvanquished" is a perspective that changes. Initially in Ambuscade and Retreat we see that Colonel Sartoris' son, Bayard, provides a heroic and idyllic perspective of his father. Though this perception will change as Bayard matures, the impression we get of Colonel Sartoris in Ambuscade is one of a gallant, intelligent, heroic, courageous and honorable man who is devoted to his family and is the epitome of masculinity. Colonel Sartoris represents many..."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the movie "Glory", shows an exponential amount of different types of leadership styles. The paper relates that the movie showed varying levels of leadership that were both great and poor. In particular, the paper examines the leadership capabilities of the character of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and how they could be described perfectly using the seven relationship-oriented attitudes and behavior, found in the Andrew J. Dubrin textbook, and a leader's responsibilities, found in the Harvard Business Review.

Outline:
Relationship-Oriented Attitudes and Behaviors
Leaders Responsibilities
Conclusion

From the Paper
"The third attitude and behavior is creating a type of inspiration and or visibility. This would mean helping people realize what they are working towards and give them a clearer vision of that goal (Dubrin, 106). Colonel Shaw did this by combining it with satisfaction of higher-level needs. This means helping people reach their personal growth (Dubrin, 107). Colonel Shaw started by training his troops in a very tough but logical kind of setting. He wanted to train his men properly, like any other troops. Most of the regiment felt like they were going to be treated less like troops, and more like workers, but Colonel Shaw proved them wrong. This gave them a sense of belonging, which in turn helped them realize what each one was fighting for (Dubrin, 107). Some were fighting for the north, and some for themselves or people in their family. Colonel Shaw had to inspire his troops on many different levels. (Dubrin, 107).

Conclusion

From the Paper
"During the second week of his escape, Day started to hear the nearby sounds of American artillery and helicopters. In the darkness of night, he continued his journey until the base camp was in sight. He was afraid to approach the friendly fortress during the darkness because he knew the defenders might mistake him for an enemy, so he lay down in the jungle to await dawn. Shortly before the sun rose, he looked up to see a North Vietnamese soldier pointing an AK-47 rifle at him. Attempting to escape, Day was shot in his left hand and thigh. A day and a half later, he was recaptured and returned to his original prison camp."

Abstract
This paper charters the political career of "Colonel" Edward Mandell House and in particular his time as the trusted adviser to Woodrow Wilson. It looks at how House played an important role in the peace process at the end of World War I and how he was the American representative for the surrender of Germany, before arriving at the Paris peace conference as Wilson's personal representative. It discusses how he tried to secure a future for Germany with concessions made to the French outside of the limits of power and guidelines that he had been given to him by Wilson thus compromising Wilson's position.

From the Paper
"Although Wilson and House were close, House remained an accomplished and ambitious political operator. He had been observing Wilson, and had concluded that Wilson's methods of doing things was not quick enough or ultimately going to solve any problems. He was also very passionate about the league of nations, and felt that Germany should not be treated to harshly, he said that "if the conditions we impose upon Germany are unjust, it will simply mean the breeding of another war." As house began to listen to all sides of the argument over the Rhineland. He took on board all sides of the argument, and was eventually able to come up with a solution that would be acceptable to all sides, and eventually decided to give permission for the French to create a Rhenish republic, at least until they were able to rebuild militarily. House tried his best to address this issue, by suggesting the now infamous "demilitarization of the Rhineland," which was to happen in three stages."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that although prejudice against Irish-Americans was still rife in 19th century America, during the Civil War, Patrick Robert Guiney, an Irish-born immigrant, bravely fought for the preservation of the union and his adopted country. The writer looks at Guiney's life concentrating on the view of him as a great Irishman in America. The writer maintains that Guiney is a shining example of how individuals have been able to put aside the racism and ethnocentrism of their society, and still honor the core principles of the American experiment in democracy.

From the Paper
"Guiney was born in 1835 and immigrated to America from Ireland when was a boy. His family struggled to find acceptance in Maine, and were financially destitute at times because Guiney's father could not find work because of his Irish heritage. The young Guiney's studies at Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts were cut short because of poverty, but Guiney was still able to be admitted to the bar in 1856 because of his own hard work and personal study, not unlike Abraham Lincoln, the president whom he would come to admire later in life. Guiney practiced law in Boston but joined the Union army in a regiment dominated by Irishmen."

Abstract
The paper provides a review of Hughes' early life and explores the literature on Sam Hughes and his career. The paper addresses Hughes' arrogance and attitudes, the dismissal of Hughes from his position during World War I, the disastrous Ross rifle that he insisted on promoting, his failure with other weapons and his insistence on average citizens being trained in the military. The paper notes his successes in attracting men to join the military but shows how every publication and historical record of Sam Hughes highlights his errors and faults.

Introduction to Sam Hughes
The Literature That Best Describes Sam Hughes & His Career
Conclusion

From the Paper
"If Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Hughes, also known as Sir Samuel Hughes and Sam Hughes, is one of the true scoundrels in Canadian history, why are scholars and historians continually bringing his name up and reviewing his life? If Sam Hughes is truly an embarrassment to the dignity of Canada, and a black mark on the otherwise sterling reputation of Canadian political and military history, why then do authors who bring old issues back to life write books and article about him? Could it be that no matter that Hughes engaged in skullduggery, brash arrogance, illegal activities and that from time to time he used questionable judgment, his name still reflects derring-do in a memorable way because of his political and military accomplishments?"

From the Paper
"Death pervades Mansfield's short stories. Her own illness of pleurisy/consumption and the harsh effects of World War I focused her thinking and reactions. As social commentator, she continued to remain an active participant in the European intelligencia. Like many of her contemporaries, however, Mansfield felt cut off from the harshness of death and war (x-xi).


The Daughters of The Late Colonel and The Garden Party depict characters in society facing the real world consequences of death. Through Josephine and Constantia in Daughters, Mansfield emphasizes how illness and death pervades not only the dead but the living as well. Death cuts the daughters off from an adult, mature life; trapped in their service to the memory of their overbearing father that leaves them ill-equipped and unprepared to live life on their own. In The Garden Party..."

Abstract
The paper investigates if "Karain" by Joseph Conrad and "The Daughters of the Late Colonel" by Katherine Mansfield fall into the category of timelessness. The paper identifies the elements of relevance in both works and posits that Mansfield's work is more symbolic in terms of oppression, while Conrad's contains more concrete elements of connection to the modern reader. The paper therefore concludes that both authors have the potential to be truly timeless.

Outline:
"Karain" by Joseph Conrad
"The Daughters of the Late Colonel" by Katherine Mansfield

From the Paper
"Some pieces of literature are simply timeless. Among these might be counted the works of Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare. Although their settings are in a different time, populated with characters of different dispositions and status in life than contemporary people, they nonetheless include universal themes that appeal to readers even today. Poverty and love are but two of the general themes that might be found often in the works of these two authors. These themes provide the basis for connection and identification. Some authors do not achieve this sense of universal and timeless appeal. The question is, do "Karain" by Joseph Conrad and "The Daughters of the Late Colonel" by Katherine Mansfield fall into the category of timelessness? Perhaps the fact that these stories are still widely read answers the question. Specifically, I believe that there is a good balance between the specific, time-centered paradigm and the universal in order to provide readers with a fulfilling experience."

Abstract
In this article the writer studies the character of Colonel Joshua Chamberlain as portrayed in the movie "Gettysburg". The writer describes Chamberlain as an unlikely, scholarly and militarily untrained college professor-turned-soldier, who exhibits strong traits of authoritative leadership. The writer maintains that Chamberlain possesses excellent traits of leadership in war and that as the movie "Gettysburg" depicts, Colonel Joshua Chamberlain's leadership style was an authoritative one. The writer concludes that Chamberlain's personality, as Jeff Daniels plays him in "Gettysburg", is both reflective and more contemplative than those of any of the other principal military figures depicted in the movie. Further the writer notes that Chamberlain is also a man of action when he has to be and a very brilliant and successful one.

From the Paper
"It was Colonel Joshua Chamberlain's particular leadership genius at Round Top, in fact that, historically speaking, as well as within in the movie Gettysburg, arguably turned not only the Battle of Gettysburg, but the Civil War itself into a victory for the North, rather than for the South as it probably otherwise would have been. Chamberlain's most remarkable instance of leadership, nerve, and heroism, in the Battle of Gettysburg, and as shown within the movie Gettysburg, took place at Little Round Top. Chamberlain and his men had been sent there, by Colonel Strong Vincent, to defend Little Round Top's southern slope. But from there, nothing at all went as planned, and Chamberlain had to thing fast, and with enormous resourcefulness."
