Abstract
This paper explores how O'Brian's novel exposes his successful writing technique. It discusses, through example from the text, the novel's historically successful representation of naval adventures, its accurate and authentic language and its realistic characters. This paper explains how O'Brian constructs "Master and Commander" into a successful novel using these methods.

From the Paper
"Master and Commander is also a successful novel because O'Brian takes the time to create realistic characters. At the beginning of the novel, we are presented with an image of Aubrey that prepares him (and us) for his adventure. We read that he knows men that are younger than him that were "lieutenants in command of brigs or cutters, or who had been promoted to master and commander" (9-10). His initial disappointment over the Sophie is quickly replaced by the connection he makes with Maturin and the others. Aubrey is in every sense what we would expect when we envision a British seaman. O'Brian also does an excellent job of describing Aubrey as he faces court-martial near the end of the novel."

Abstract
Patrick O'Brian's novel "Master and Commander", brings life at sea to life by focusing on strong characterization and themes that accentuate these characters. The paper explains how O'Brian introduces us to Jack and Stephen, two main characters that are strong, complimentary, and different enough from one another to provide a different take on life at sea. The paper shows that, in addition, O'Brian employs the theme of man versus man and man versus nature to build the plot and enhance the action of the novel. These elements operate together to create a novel that provides us a realistic sense of what life at sea was like during the nineteenth century.

From the Paper
"Another theme O'Brian uses is man versus nature. Because they are at sea, they are at the mercy of the elements. The crew endures the elements of the weather as they sail. For example, in one scene, the ship encounters a storm with intense rainfall as the "seas mounted higher and higher: they were not the height of the great Atlantic rollers, but they were steeper, and in a way more wicked; their heads tore off streaming in front of them so as to race through the Sophie's tops" (153). Here we see how the men at sea had to be courageous not only with other men but they also had to be strong when it came to withstanding the harsh elements of nature, over which they had no control."

From the Paper
"The President as Commander.in.Chief

As long as there are war criminals running loose in Bosnia, whether they be Serbian, Croat, or Muslim, the United States can ill afford to withdraw troops. The Bosnian mission of US troops has successfully kept the peace in a land where these war criminals are still bent on destruction of their rivals. If the United States does pull out, it will appear that it abandoned European allies who share peacekeeping duties and will encourage these rival factions to renew the brutal civil war which killed hundreds of thousands of Bosnians.

If the United States and its allies are serious about a permanent peace in Bosnia as the right situation for withdrawing troops, there must be more pressure and actions to enforce the full compliance by all sides of the Dayton Accord. This includes ..."

Abstract
This paper, using as a guide Bob Woodward's book "The Commander's," analyzes the actions of the President, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and several federal agencies responsible for managing National Security during the escalation towards hostilities in Panama and Southwest Asia. It includes an analysis of how effective the decision-makers were during the planning, execution and oversight periods of these operations and discusses whether they communicated visions, involved all available experts for consultation and whether they offered several options to aid in their critical decision making.

From the Paper
"Before any public statement or initiative by the President, General Colin Powell asked General Norman Schwarzkopf, the Commander of Central Command, to draft a two-tiered plan for possible U.S. responses to any Iraqi move against Kuwait. The first tier was what U.S Forces could do to immediately retaliate against Iraq; the second was what the United States might do defensively to stop any further Iraqi movement. Simultaneously, coordination at the JCS-CINC level had already began while CENTCOM initiated the formal Crisis Planning process. As the diplomatic chess game ensued, the practical aspects of what was needed began to surface presenting the leadership with several challenges and decisions to make. For example, General Schwarzkopf said it would take 17 weeks to get the full deterrence piece of Plan 90-1002- totaling some 200,000 to 250,000 Army, Navy, Airforce, and Marines-into the region."

Abstract
The paper relates that there are a vast majority of concepts when managing a precinct, especially in New York due to its population and diverse cultures. The paper addresses concepts that include organizational theory, leadership theory and the bureaucratic model.

From the Paper
"Traditional policing versus community policing have been considered past tense and the latter have been implemented across the United States in an effort to bring police and the community closer together. There are a vast majority of concepts when managing a precinct especially in New York due to its population and diverse cultures. Many concepts include organizational theory, leadership theory and bureaucratic model. Motivational influences are factors in leading a police force, which involves leadership skills, communication, human resource management, and problem solving or negotiation among the officers and the community. In this paper, we will examine these factors and include a perspective in..."

Abstract
This essays proposes a study in the area of what elicits compliance in children and discusses the difference in effectiveness of "do" and "don't" commands. It proposes a study that aims to provide additional information on the level of performance of children when given a "do" command. The study will ask if children will be more likely to perform a "do" command at an earlier age if a parent is close by. The paper hypothesizes that children will be more apt to follow a "do" request at an earlier age with a parent nearby than if a parent is not present.

From the Paper
"In support of this development theory is the fact that children will more easily comply to "do" requests as they age. According to Kochanska, Coy and Murray (2001) for example, children greatly improve in this process between one and three years of age. Changes occur on a continuum from infancy to pre-school age. When children are a year to one-and-a-half years old, they start recognizing social demands and begin to be able to alter their behavior when a parent asks."

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of the Ten Commandments that the Jewish people received from God. It examines each commandment individually, discussing its importance. The author also discusses why the Jews, and no other people, were specifically chosen to receive these commandments.

From the Paper
"The Decalogue is designed for only the Jews. These ten laws that they have to abide by are written to ultimately free the Jews from sin. God targeted the Jews because this would be able to prove his power; by taking a nation that had nothing, and turning them into something great. The whole world would know Gods glory. The Decalogue are divine laws, they come straight from God himself and let his will be known. The Decalogue was designed to control external actions, but cannot control the inner thoughts and desires of the Israelites."
