Abstract
In this paper, the premise of this comparative study of gender and class appositives dictates the socially and subjective nature of societal stereotypes often engineered through the media and learning institutions. Cunningham and Delph-Janiurek propose very similar ideas on the construct of popular arguments that define these roles through physiology and economics, but the voice of geography is often dictated by the language of "drag" that relies on social mimicry and repetitive behaviors of social stereotypes.

From the Paper
"Golden States is a coming-of-age novel, wherein the central character is concerned with asserting his manhood. At the same time that David watches his body transform through puberty, he faces a challenge to his protection of his family when Janet's fiance appears at the house and eventually convinces her to return with him to San Francisco. In response to this threat to his family's unity, David sets out in the middle of the night on a quest to travel to San Francisco and bring his sister back with him. Armed with his mother's gun, he crosses the freeway and buys a bus ticket. On the way to San Francisco he encounters many obstacles, including being nearly seduced by a man who gives him a lift, and eventually being taken into police custody as a runaway. Though he is unsuccessful in retrieving his sister, he does triumph in chasing one of the coyotes away from the yard. This achievement, it appears, is a small victory. "

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes Michael Cunningham's book "The Hours". It explains that the book is about the nature of mortality, literature, Virginia Woolf's life, and the connections between life and one of Virginia Woolf's greatest works, "Mrs. Dalloway".

From the Paper
"In The Hours, housewife Laura Brown simply and ineffectually bakes a cake. Clarissa Vaughan buys flowers. But these events are imbued with transcendence significance, simply by showing how these characters are interconnected across the ages-even across the bounds of the fiction/nonfiction divide of literature. When things are connected, everything becomes significant. By highlighting simple events, like buying objects for a party, such events become sympathetic and significant to an apparently disconnected viewer or reader."

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes Michael Cunningham's well-received book, "The Hours." The paper takes an in-depth look at the character, Laura Brown and her remark that reading is something that permits a person to negotiate the "transit" from the world of sleep to "oblivion". The essay compares the worldviews of Virginia Woolf to Laura Brown, arguing the benefits of both reading and writing as wonderful ways of accessing the best part of oneself and opening up the mind.

From the Paper
"In Michael Cunningham's well-received book,' The Hours', the character of Virginia Woolf remarks that writing whilst in the "soul" state is the best and most satisfying experience a person can have; it is, in a real sense, the epitome of self-actualization. For her part, Laura Brown remarks that reading is something permits a person to negotiate the "transit" from the world of sleep to "oblivion". The following essay will argue that both of these characters are correct: writing is a wonderful way of accessing the best part of oneself; for its part, reading opens up the mind to new vistas and to new possibilities and deserves our love and devotion for..."

Abstract
This essay is an exploration of the role that sexuality plays in Michael Cunningham's contemporary novel, "The Hours." The author examines the modern-day remake of a Virginia Woolf's classic, "The Hours" and its theme of sexuality and how sexuality is expressed in today's society.

From the Paper
"Air pollution is any visible or invisible substance found in the air that is not part of the normal composition of air. Some air pollution is natural and has always been a part of the earth's history. However, over the past one hundred years or so, pollution created by humans has become a major environmental problem. Natural air pollution has been around for millions of year. Dust and a variety of gases from forest fires, volcanoes, and decaying material in rivers, oceans, and other bodies of water continually enter the atmosphere. Sometimes this natural pollution can have dramatic effects. Air pollution is a major factor in causing humans to get ill. Tuberculosis, bronchitis, heart and chest diseases, stomach disorders, asthma and cancers can all be traced to chemicals in the air. Pesticides and fertilizers release gases and particles into the air which poison people and kill animals."

Abstract
This paper reviews the books "The Hours" by Michael Cunningham and the novel "Mrs Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf, drawing attention to the parallels, connections, similarities and themes that exist between the two literary works. This paper also discusses the intention of Michael Cunningham to pay tribute to Virginia Woolf.

Contents:
"Mrs. Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf
Friendship and Suffering
Clarissa's Repression
"The Hours" by Michael Cunningham

From the Paper
"The setting in Woolf's novel is London during the 1920's. Clarissa Dalloway, the main character, is depicted through a single important day in her life: she is preparing a party for the social elite of the city. The party, at the beginning a symbol of superficiality, later takes on a deeper meaning as the reader is led to a deeper understanding of Clarissa's character. Clarissa polarity lies in both her shallowness and her depth. In her shallowness, she depicts the upper-class society of London during the time. Her depth on the other hand forms a polarity that is evident throughout the novel. Superficiality in the end exists only to hide the deeper problems that society as a whole and the characters individually are unable to face. In this capacity, Clarissa is characterized through her connections with society in general and the other characters individually."

Abstract
The paper examines the work "How to Think Like Benjamin Graham and Invest Like Warren Buffet" and explains Cunningham's arguments and positions. The paper notes some shortcomings in this book, but is of the opinion that this book is an excellent introduction to the investment theories that defined the careers of Warren Buffett and Benjamin Graham. The paper adds that academic or more knowledgeable readers may find Cunningham's support for his arguments a bit wanting.

From the Paper
"Lawrence's Cunningham's treatise on investing was, to be frank, a bit unexpected. How to Think Like Benjamin Graham and Invest Like Warren Buffett is an extension of the theoretical (and practical) work on investing and economics that both Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett engaged in. Cunningham, quite correctly, considers himself a student of these two men and works in this book to extend their theories and positions on market economies and investing to the modern investor."

Abstract
This paper briefly looks at how Michael Cunningham, in a tribute to Woolf, took her story and modified her modern style with his own unique writing in "The Hours." It outlines the similarities between the two novels and looks at the modernizations and changes made by Cunningham.

From the Paper
"Cunningham played with Woolf's writing styles in his novel, intensifying her clever style. For example, Woolf had an unusual method of making her characters experience backward launches of memories, which were usually sparked by some type of image. In addition, she would jumble time and place to show her readers the reality of human consciousness and experience. Cunningham mimicked her style in "The Hours" yet added to the excitement with his postmodern styles. Therefore, while Woolf's plot was simple, Cunningham's was decidedly complex."

Abstract
This paper discusses Michael Cunningham's work "Specimen Days." It specifically discusses the three genres associated with this work - the ghost story, the thriller and science fiction. It shows how Cunningham's work is named for a collection of Walt Whitman's works by the same name. It then describes how, in the three varied narratives, "In The Machine" (ghost story), "The Children's Crusade" (thriller) and "Like Beauty" (Science fiction), the three differing times in New York City are explored through the lives and interactions of the characters.

From the Paper
"This idea of Whitman in the first novella as a man to be followed as a replacement for education is essential to the understanding of the character, Lucas who is seeking to find his way into a world that will swallow him, the machine of progress. (Cunningham 4) It would seem a juxtaposition that emulating a critic of progress would be the answer of a young man given the job of a man who had been killed by the machine, but it demonstrates the validity of Lucas' desire to "stop striding altogether." (5) Lucas availed to recite Walt's unfinished work, "Lucas and Catherine would go into the book, for the book was never finished. Lucas would recite it to Walt and to everyone. He would recite what Walt had not yet written, for his life and the book were one thing, and everything he did or said was part of the book." (91)"
