Abstract
This paper analyzes Henry James' use of literary images of New York in his short story "The Jolly Corner". It combines extracts from the text with other of James' work (particularly "The American Scene") to show that "The Jolly Corner" may be seen as an autobiography of sorts and provides many deep insights into the life and works of James.

From the Paper
"The sense of eeriness that Henry James lets exude in The Jolly Corner is the same that one experiences when comparing it to The American Scene. Unlike Washington Square, where contrasts are much more prevalent than comparisons, The Jolly Corner is very nearly, eerily so, a "fictional mirror" of James? non-fictional travelogue. Comparisons can be made at every level with The American Scene: from the pervading themes to the images of New York. It is the intention of this paper to show that, to a very great extent, Henry James? images of New York in The Jolly Corner share the same style of his late period and, in particular, his work The American Scene. By extension, this paper will also contribute to the ongoing argument that The Jolly Corner may be seen as an autobiography of sorts by James."

Abstract
Int his article, the writer notes that Tysons Corner, Virginia, located in Fairfax County is one of the fastest growing areas in the nation. The writer discusses that a proposed metrorail line to pass through and stop at four locations in Tyson Corner has spurred tremendous economic development in an already upscale region of the state. The writer maintains that the new rail line will continue to bring growth, but with it additional traffic.

From the Paper
"In 2005 a 23.1 mile extension of the Metrorail system was approved to connect Washington D.C. with Dulles International Airport, with stops at a number of the quickly growing towns in between. Four of these stops were proposed for Tysons Corner, Virginia. Tysons Corner is located approximately midway along a line, which extends through Fairfax to the edge of Loudoun County. The rail line was proposed as an alternative to automobile travel and as support for future economic development in the area."

Abstract
This paper discusses A. A. Milne's final book in the "Pooh" series, "The House at Pooh Corner". The paper examines how Milne shows the importance of both education and imagination through the storyline in this book. The paper claims that Milne wants to teach children preparing to start school to approach it as a new adventure, a new world to explore, but they must remember to bring imagination with them.

From the Paper
"For years, A.A. Milne has charmed young readers with his lovable characters, Pooh Bear, Christopher Robin, and company. In the course of several novels, children met and fell in love with Pooh and his friends. Children were transported to the magical forest and carried along on all of Pooh's grand adventures, which culminate in Milne's final Pooh novel, The House at Pooh Corner. Although Pooh will not embark on any new adventures, he remains a favorite character in children's literature. In the final episode of Pooh, Milne leaves his readers with many fond memories. More importantly, he weaves an important message into the final adventures of Winnie the Pooh."

Abstract
The paper notes that Professor Elijah Anderson is a renowned studier of human behavior and that one of his most important studies had been observations in a local bar and liquor store in Chicago's South Side. The paper further notes that for three years Anderson analyzed and interacted with the people who visited the store "Jelly's". This information has been compiled into "A Place on the Corner". The paper discusses how Anderson's work has gained popularity due to the multiple approaches to ethnography that he has adopted to study the people who visited "Jelly's". This paper critically outlines Anderson's contribution to the field of ethnography and how it helps one understand the local street people.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"In every community according to Anderson there is an understanding and acceptance with conditions. The individuals meet and commune without crossing the boundaries of each other's territory. The process of social exchange allows them to produce a social order. This is also reflected in urbanization and urban society where groups form extended family to associate their identity with. This is explained by the concept of social stratification. According to Bergel (1962) social stratification refers to "generally conceived structural feature for a given social system." Bergel is of the view that like the universe human social structure reflects its units. Individuals are the functional units that play the role of identity, functions, effectiveness and efficiency of the group".

Abstract
This paper conducts a semiotic analysis of the two movies, "You've Got Mail" and "Shop Around the Corner." The author finds that the main plots movies are similar, but there are important differences wit in the cinematography, themes and characterization. The paper highlights the differences and then proves why the older version was far more appealing than the newer one.

From the Paper
"You've Got Mail" is the remake of 1940 classic "Shop Around the Corner." While the main plot is the same there are certain semiotic differences, which should be studied closely in order to see which version is the better one. I have seen both movies and liked the original version better not only because of it being a classic but also because there are certain important features which puts the older version a lot more above the 1990s remake."

Abstract
The following paper examines Whyte?s understanding of poverty, socialization, social inequality and subcultures. This paper also reflects on the communities studied by Whyte and examines the way in which social inequality serves as the main cause of failure to achieve society?s goals.

From the paper:

?Although it was first published over fifty years ago, the ideas and themes contained in Street Corner Society are just as important today as they were in the 1940's, and it still features highly in the reading lists of many sociological courses. .By putting his own life on hold, in order to enter and become accepted by a community of Italian-American immigrants in Boston, the author William Whyte was able to become a part of their world and write about real people and their real lives.?

From the Paper
"Elliot Liebow's 1967 Tally's Corner: A Study of Negro Streetcorner Men has become one of the sociological classics on the condition of the American Black family, and particularly on the American black man as well as on the effects on the family of welfare in relationship to a social and economic underclass defined by race.
Liebow based this book on 18 months of fieldwork that he performed in 1962-63 when he lived among a group of seemingly socially and culturally unanchored men in a poor, even destitute inner-city neighborhood in Washington D.C. The major effect of the book when it was published in the 1960s was to open the eyes of mainstream (i.e. white) America to the conditions of life for so many black men in post-war American society.
The most striking thing about reading this work is how ..."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the tendencies of Henry James in his writings. "The Beast in The Jungle", "The Jolly Corner", and "The Portrait of a Lady" are three of James' works that are examined in detail. In particular, this paper focuses on the protagonists of each of the writings respectively. A strong comparison is made between the three protagonists of these writings, and their miserable lives. On the other hand, the protagonist of James' story "The Tragic Muse" is shown to lead a life of happiness and success. The paper notes the clear differences between this story and the others, therefore explaining what leads the character on a different path.

From the Paper
"In contrast, Portrait of a Lady presents Ralph as an invalid who lives vicariously through a woman named Isabel Archer whom he leads to doom. He bestows upon her a large sum of money, despite his father's warning that fortune hunters will target her for it. Ralph replies, "That's a risk, and it has entered into my calculation...I'm prepared to take it" (p. 161). Ralph is financially generous to Isabel not out of love but out of a morbid fascination. He wants to see what she will do with it. When Isabel marries a gold-digger, she fulfills the victim role that Ralph's father had feared. Ralph's fascination with Isabel's life overcomes any concern he might have had for her welfare."
