Abstract
This paper provides a comparison and contrast of Israel Joshua Singer's "The Brothers Ashkenazi" with Jose Maria Gironella's "The Cypresses Believe in God" as a means of explaining the breakdown of Poland's Jewish society and the eruption of the Spanish Civil War respectively.

From the Paper
"Israel Joshua Singer's "The Brothers Ashkenazi" and Jose MariaGironella's "The Cypresses Believe in God" are lengthy accounts of the disruption of traditional society due to encroaching modernism. In Singer's "The Brothers Ashkenazi", the impact of capitalism and secularism on Jewish Poland is portrayed through the archetypal twins, Simcha Meyer and Jacob Bunim, sons of Reb Abraham Hirsh Ashkenazi, who attempt to move beyond the confines of orthodox Jewry into the secular and competitive world of textile manufacturing. In Gironella's "The Cypresses Believe in God"..."

Abstract
This paper compares two paintings, the first being "Seacoast near Wargemont in Normandy" (1880) by August Renoir and the second being "Wheat Field with Cypresses" (1889) by Vincent Van Gogh. According to the paper, both works can be identified as landscapes but they show different styles related to the country of origin and the artistic movement identified with each artist. The two paintings are found today in New York in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Abstract
A comparison and contrast of "The Brothers Ashkenazi" and "The Cypresses Believe in God", focusing on the main characters' responses to the political and economic foment of modernism.

From the Paper
"Israel Joshua Singer's "The Brothers Ashkenazi" and Jose Maria Gironella's "The Cypresses Believe in God" are lengthy accounts of the dislocation of traditional society due to the complexities of modernism and the difficulties of responding to such complexities in a productive way. The central character in Singer's "The Brothers Ashkenazi" benefits from and exploits the impact of capitalism and secularism on newly industrializing Jewish Poland, while Ignacio, the central character in "Cypresses" is increasingly bewildered by the long-standing problems..."

Abstract
This paper argues that "Othello" is a play filled with sharply contrasted oppositional forces that are often in the form of deep-seated human emotions. Through an exploration of Venice and Cypress, the two main symbolic locations of the play, the paper considers how characters reinforce the play's themes. For example, the writer notes that the play's move from Venice to Cypress is a move from order and rationality to lawlessness and chaos. The writer discusses that it is in Cypress that Iago's poison takes hold, where he is able to bend Othello's rational mind to feed on jealousy and revenge. The writer concludes that the two major geographic settings in the play, Venice and Cypress, are symbolically reinforced by the principle characters and events, which occur in these two locations.

From the Paper
"Othello is fraught with sharply contrasted oppositional forces; dichotomies, often in the form of deep-seated human emotions, abound. Themes explored in Othello include the contrast between surface manner - polished social forms - and inner nature, which is portrayed as a dangerous force waiting just beneath the veneer of social convention. The most obvious example of this is Iago's practiced exterior of a plain and honest soldier, a dutiful follower of Othello, and Iago's inner self - a diabolical inner man bent on chaos, destruction, and revenge. But virtually all of the play's major characters share a dangerous inner life - all but Desdemona and Michael Cassio. Even calm, rational Othello is driven to near madness as the Serpent jealousy takes hold of him. Such oppositional forces are central to an understanding of the play. The forces of fear and chaos are prominent themes, threatening to sweep away the calm and stability of the city of Venice, a city - at least in the play - ruled and maintained by order, rationality, and law."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Shades of Green Resort, formerly known as the Golf Resort and The Disney Inn, is for U.S. military personnel only in conjunction with a 100-year leasing agreement between Disney and the U.S. Department of Defense; however, the resort's world-class golf course is open to the general public. The author points out that this is the only family resort in the continental United States that offers low prices to military personnel, who are on R&R, and it is close to Disneyworld and many other popular attractions. The paper stresses that this hotel has the highest occupancy rate of any hotel in the United States, which is an essential component in determining the amount of money that an investor would offer for this resort; the resort has undergone a $94 million renovation and expansion, which added more revenue generating assets to the resort's property.

From the Paper
"As it relates to this particular resort, the recreational activities that are able to generate revenue is extremely important. In particular, the money that can be generated for the golf courses is essential to the success of the resort. Therefore, the resort must maintain the championship courts. Just as with many of the other assets that the resort has, it must also maintain the golf course because there is a great deal of competition in the area as it pertains to prestigious courses. This also means that the prices must be reasonable. The resort also has an opportunity to make substantial revenue from this asset because it is open to the general public."

Abstract
This paper address the poetical style of D.H Lawrence from his early work up to his death. It discusses the usage of style, subject matter, and poetical maturation, both independently and as a reflection of his life.

From the Paper
"To me, the earth rolls ponderously, superbly Coming my way without forethought or afterthought. To me, men's footfalls fall with a dull, soft rumble, ominous and lovely, Coming my way. ( "Revolutionary" 40-44) These lines, written by D. H Lawrence, are an excerpt from his life, as was most of his work. Lawrence was in love with the world, with the mystic reality, the language of true inspiration. Born before the turn of the century, Lawrence was the son of a coal-mining father and a middle class mother. One of four, he was always more interested in the arts than playing with the other boys. He didn't begin writing until age twenty but it only took four years until he was published by Ford Maddox Hueffer in the English Review (Malmude 67). His poetic works follow closely in the veins of his own experiences, growing and changing with him. He was obsessed with "mysticism, lore, dark urges and sexuality" (Smart 5136). A brutal objectivity and an almost circular description pattern offer a perfect setting for these obsessions, while strange but vivid image repetition sculpts Lawrence's poetry with haunting accuracy. The images, although strange, are yet familiar, understood on a basic human level of being. This was the great crafted art of Lawrence that is present in his prose as well as his poetry, however, the latter being the only one examined here. Lawrence crossed through five significant stages in his poetic journey to maturation. Each change orbited a change in his personal life, and as Lawrence grew to self-realization so too his poetry became a life of its own. His eloquent perceptions paired with unique, often dark artistic expressions are present from the beginning, but they crystalize in Lawrence's mature poetic voice just before his death."
