Abstract
This paper is all about prosody. The poem, Countee Cullen's "Incident" is the analyzed work. In this paper, the author looks at the rhythm of the poem, likening it to cinematic scores.

From the Paper
"Countee Cullen was an African-American poet born in New York, and a contributor to the Harlem Renaissance. He wrote of the black experience as he lived it, writing lyrically and imaginatively. His Incident is a short poem describing a brief incident in the speaker's life. While told in retrospect, and with few carefully chosen words, the relation of the experience speaks volumes about racism and how one must deal with it even from a young age. The format of the poem provides meaty contrast to the poem's subject matter, staying at one tempo even when the mood of the poem changes dramatically."

Abstract
The paper focuses on the diversity of cultural and race issues within the poetic works of Countee Cullen. The paper looks at the poems "Heritage" and "Yet Do I Marvel" and discusses how Cullen is able to convey a sense of awareness of his own cultural background without the monolithic view of race issues in his work. The paper highlights Cullen's broad sense of poetic universality across cultural and racial lines during the Harlem Renaissance.

From the Paper
"For Countee Cullen, poetry was often deemed "raceless" due to the way that he interpreted human relationships within the big city. New York City was a massive "melting pot" of immigrants and people of differing races, which became manifest during the Harlem Renaissance. Cullen lived in this section of the city where African Americans were indeed marginalized, yet they were able to have greater freedoms that what was allowed at the time in the South. Cullen is aware of cultural roots going back to Africa in this urban milieu, which helps to dictate his ideas about the limitations of African American identity in the poem "Heritage"."

Abstract
This paper contends that the combination of negative factors impacting the state of American healthcare is clearly conducive to a diminished level of quality in medicine. The paper continues and states that a shortage of nursing professionals, resources, facilities and centralized standard control have collectively conspired to endanger the health and lives of patients. The paper illustrates this contention by examining and discussing the case of Charles Cullen, who, during his fifteen years as a nurse in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, murdered some 40 patients, between 1988 and 2003, without essentially alerting any attention to the fact that there was a serial killer in the healthcare system.

From the Paper
"We can also see by the manner in which Cullen was finally apprehended that a clear pattern existed that, if illuminated under the lens of a proper accountability standard in any of the hospitals where he worked prior to the Somerset Medical Center, his actions might have been easily spotted. It as at Somerset where an effective internal accountability system would ultimately show Cullen to be something worse than just an incompetent healthcare practitioner. His clearly intentional acts of drug overdosing for patients could be traced with a quick review of some suspicious computer system transactions. Particularly, "the state-of-the-art computerized care system at SMC, called Cerner, allowed nurses to check patients' medical history at a terminal, according to Max Alexander, in the Reader's Digest. Another system tracked all drugs that were used and opened a drawer that allowed workers to get them. So the procedure for accessing and dispensing meds had become much easier." (Ramsland, 1) This would be inconsistent with Cullen's prior experiences, where individuals were alerted to suspicious but where this could never be reinforced by discernible physical evidence. With the Cerner system, there existed the capacity to time-stamp many of the actions that would distinguish Cullen as connected to the suspicious deaths that, retrospect would soon show, accompanied all of his prior shifts."

Abstract
This paper gives a literary analysis of how the theme of death is expressed in two poems, William Cullen Bryant's "Thanatopsis" and Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven." The review compares and contrasts the two authors' views of death, citing Bryant as seeing death as a natural progression of life that should not be feared, as opposed to Poe, for whom eath was the eternal separation of loved ones that results in madness from isolation. Additionally, the paper gives some biographical information of the authors that may have shaped their views on death. Quotes from the poems are used to support the reviewer's opinions. The paper concludes by stating that every individual will handle death and the thoughts of death in his or her own way.

From the Paper
"Both poems explore the theme of death at a time in society when death could strike at any moment. Each poet suffered the loss of death through illness and this loss is expressed in the poems. While both poems are about death, they explore different aspects of death. "Thanatopsis" asks us to consider a certain peace after death that should not be feared. Despite the pain of death, we should have hope that we will be with our loved ones after we die. "The Raven" looks inward, focusing on the devastation brought on by those suffering from loss. We sense the speaker has no hope and offers none to us as a result."

Abstract
This paper shows how Hughes and Cullen follow Du Bois' prescription in their creations of black art. The author focuses on Hughes' poem "Ballad of the Landlord" and Cullen's poem "From the Dark Tower," and derives his definition of Du Bois' artistic prescription from his essay "Criteria of Negro Art."

From the paper:

"Amidst the prevailing racial injustice during the Harlem Renaissance, W.E.B. Du Bois charges black artists to use their art to send a message to society: a message of unity to the blacks, and a message rejecting their so-called inferiority to the whites. Black art, Du Bois insisted, should be used as a weapon against racism, demonstrating blacks? worthiness of American status and their ability to conceive Beauty in their art. Countee Cullen and Langston Hughes, whether intentionally or not, followed the artistic specifications set forth by W.E.B. Du Bois in their respective creations "From the Dark Tower" and "Ballad of the Landlord."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of Countee Cullen's poems "Incident" and "Yet Do I Marvel." The focus of the analysis is showing how Cullen uses the sonnet form in both poems to mirror the main conflict of the speakers.

From the Paper
"Countee Cullen was an African-American poet of the Harlem Renaissance. Living in racist America, Cullen wanted to succeed as a poet based on traditional English standards, rather than be known as a black artist, but it is his race-conscious lyrics that are considered his best work. In "Incident" and "Yet Do I Marvel", Cullen's speakers demonstrate the impact of living in a racist world. Despite being human beings with individual messages and the desire to express, both poems shows the rigid..."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the theme of workplace environment in three different types of literary work - a poem, an essay and a fictional story.
The work reviewed is "Saturday's Child" by Countee Cullen, "The Boy and the Bank Officer" by Philip Ross and an essay on corporate culture.

From the Paper
"One other important theme within the story has to do with how those outside a business often misunderstand it. This theme is revealed when the narrator realizes that his initial distrust of banks was misplaced. Initially, he based this distrust upon his friend's belief that banks did not care to look out for their customers' best interests. His witnessing of the argument between the boy and banking officer further fueled his distrust. However, the distrust dissipated as soon as the narrator discovered that the bank did indeed have its customers' best interests at heart when it attempted to protect the boy from the bully."

Abstract
This paper examines how the theme of death is depicted in William Cullen Bryant's poem "Thanatopsis" and Emily Dickinson's poem "I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died."

From the Paper
"William Cullen Bryant's "Thanatopsis" is a meditation about death. In this poem, the narrator uses a gentle voice and tells us that we should not fear death but rather consider it path to better things. Instead if wasting time worrying about death we should look to nature and discover a positive outlook about it. The poet tells us that we can learn from "Earth and her waters, and the depth of the air" (Bryant 16). The poet is addressing those who are particularly troubled by death, knowing and fearing that one day they will see the "all-beholding" sun (18) and the "Earth that nourished thee, shall claim/They growth, to be resolved to earth again" (22-3). The poet is suggesting that when we look to nature, we can find consolations to death. "

Abstract
The certainty of death causes many people to feel many types of emotions and to ask some of the most probing questions we will ever encounter. William Cullen Bryant, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, and Edgar Allan Poe give us very different interpretations of death and how it relates to life. This paper examines how these poets perceive the universality of death and how they choose to find some sort of resolution to the unanswerable question: What happens to us after death?

From the Paper
"William Cullen Bryant's Thanatopsis is a such a meditation. In fact, the title means "a meditation on death" (Webster). This narrator of this poem speaks to us in a gentle and reassuring voice, telling us that instead of fearing death, we should instead consider it a natural progression of life. Death is not something to anguish over and the narrator urges us to look to nature for a elevated perspective on the process of dying. Lessons can be learned from ?Earth and her waters, and the depth of the air--? (16). The poem is speaking to the one who is troubled by mortality, knowing that one day he or she will die and no longer see the "all-beholding" sun (18) and the "Earth that nourished thee, shall claim/They growth, to be resolved to earth again" (22-3). By consoling nature, the distressed individual can discover three consolations to inevitable death. (Magill) "
