Abstract
This paper examines how James Cone believes that if blacks, particularly African-Americans, don't wake up and change the traditional American image of Jesus, they will probably never grasp the true philosophy and mission of Jesus. It discusses how African-Americans must see Jesus as a black man that endured the struggle and how it is the duty of black preachers, pastors and theologians to advocate black theology, which includes the black image of Jesus, for the sake and survival of the African-American experience.
From the Paper
"When one begins to think about God, questions arise as one lacks significant knowledge of God. When one begins to engage in such a dialogue, or entertains such questions, one has clearly entered the community of theology. The articles states: "The attempt to think about God leads immediately to a host of related question which are included under the term theology. First, there is the question of mans relationship to God, the ultimate source of things? Then we must ask about revelation to God, that is, how does man know what God is like? If God must reveal himself where and how is he revealed?" These are prospective questions that man can't escape when thinking about God or in dialogue about God. "

From the Paper
"James H. Cone, in Martin & Malcolm & America: A Dream Or A Nightmare, presents the thesis that Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, for all their perceived personal and political differences, were leaders whose vision of America and its racial problems were growing increasingly close to one another. This is not to say that if the two men had lived longer they would have advocated the same philosophies and policies, but it is to say that there were many areas where their visions were complementary rather than contradictory:
Integrationists and nationalists complemented each other. Both philosophies were needed if America was going to come to terms with the truth of the black experience. Either philosophy alone was a half-truth and thus a distortion of the black reality in America."

"This research examines the Christology presented by James H. Cone in his book God of the Oppressed. The research will provide background information on the author and then discuss his account of the figure of Christ from the standpoint of positioning where Jesus stands in the cosmology of religion, the meaning that Jesus has for modern experience, and the particular Christological emphasis that Cone identifies as most appropriate in his work. The research will conclude with a critique and evaluation of Cone's work that will be intended to place his views in the context of modern Christian thought.
It may seem something of a tautology to assert that Christianity could be nothing without Christ, but the content of that statement is that Christ functions as a powerful symbol of both history and religion and that symbols are important to both ..."

From the Paper
"Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were black leaders who took very different approaches to the problems faced by blacks in America. One result has been that King has traditionally had a better reputation among the general white population than has Malcolm X. King's methods were based on non-violence, while Malcolm X was perceived as advocating violence, at least at certain points in his career. King was a minister, while Malcolm X had been in prison. King advocated a policy of integration and the inclusion of whites in the struggle for black equality, while Malcolm X called for separatism at times and in any case advocated blacks taking control of their own destiny without the participation of whites. These are some of the reasons why King was more accepted in white society than was Malcolm X.
African-Americans have undertaken a number of political..."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the short stories, "The Cone" by H.G. Wells and "The Darkness Out There" by Penelope Lively. Specifically it discusses how the authors create tension and suspense in the two works to build their stories. It also looks at the authors' use of excellent characterization to place the reader in the middle of the story.
From the Paper
"Lively's characters are not as full and well rounded as Wells' characters are, and yet, they are satisfying and sinister just the same. The old woman is just as diabolical as Wells' character in her own terrifying way. It is difficult to believe that people could be so evil, and yet, both characters are completely believable, and both authors even give them extremely valid reasons for their garish behavior. They are not quite sympathetic, and yet, each author builds a case for them to do what they have done, making their actions seem more plausible and believable. Thus, both authors are masters at building tension and suspense in their stories, and surprising the reader with the conclusions. Both of these works are equally disturbing, and they are excellent examples of great writers and the techniques they use, even in short fiction."

Abstract
The paper begins by explaining the process of pollination and its necessity for reproduction. It distinguishes between different reproductive structures - sexual cells within the plant or cones. The paper first examines the procedure of cone-bearing pollination and then that of flowering pollination. This is followed by a study of self- pollination and the strengths and weaknesses possessed by species with this type of pollination. The benefits of cross-pollination are discussed and the paper concludes with a look at the role of pollinators.
From the Paper
"Pollination is when pollen grains from the male structures of plants are transferred to the female structures of plants. The pollen grains are vital for reproduction " they contain cells that will develop into male sex cells. The female structure contains the female sex cells, more commonly known as the egg. Pollination prepares the plant for fertilization " when the two sex cells join. Nearly all grains, vegetables, wildflowers, trees, and fruits must go through pollination in order to produce seeds (or fruits). Pollination is also critically important in the reproduction of crops grown agriculturally, such as corn, rice, wheat, apples, tomatoes, and squash. (Dickson)"

Abstract
This essay outlines in a factual, explanatory tone, how 'visual perception' occurs within the body and brain. It is heavily based on scientific terminology as outlined within the psychology syllabus. Includes the function of rods and cones, the interpretation of stimuli, depth cues, Gestalt principles, psychological factors of perception, and a discussion on the fallibility of visual perception. Highly reliable examples are included.
From the Paper
"Visual Sensation, which occurs so we can detect physical stimuli, begins with the reception of information. Light waves (electromagnetic energy) enter the eye and are focused on the retina. This electromagnetic energy is then transduced by rods and cones, (light sensitive cells), into electrochemical energy enabling it to be transmitted to the brain. The electrochemical energy is then transmitted along the neurons of the optic nerve to the Occipital Lobe (Visual Cortex of brain)."

Abstract
The paper examines the book, "Teaching Children Dance", which advises teachers of children from kindergarten to fifth grade how to teach dance in a meaningful and educational way. The paper relates that the text contains dance lessons that are simple enough to teach children, but still contains an overview and a philosophical belief in the value of dance as an art form. The paper maintains that this book should be read by all elementary school teachers anxious for practical advice on incorporating dance into their lesson plans, creating dances and explaining the need for dance to parents and administrators.
From the Paper
""I can't dance." How many times have you heard an adult say this, at a party or even at a family function like a wedding? Probably many times. How many times have you heard a child say this? Probably never. How do we lose this fluidity of motion and love of our own physical capabilities? Some might say that it is lost because school forces children to sit all day in their seats in an unnatural posture, and hems in their natural, human love of movement. One solution to this dancing dilemma is provided by the engaging, practical and informative text Teaching Children Dance."
