From the Paper
"Gambling has been legal in Nevada since 1931. For the year 2001, total gaming revenue in the State of Nevada totaled $9,468,598,681. In addition, "The gaming industry's total contribution to federal, state, and local taxes is estimated to be $2.2 billion a year. These contributions mean Nevadans don't pay, among others: state personal income tax, state corporate income tax (measured by net income), state sales tax on food, state inheritance tax, and state gift tax" (Berkley).
Gaming in Nevada is highly regulated by the State Gaming Control Board and in many aspects by the Federal Government. "All establishments where gaming is conducted and where gambling devices are operated, and manufacturers, sellers and distributors of certain gambling devices and equipment must therefore be licensed, controlled and assisted to protect the public health, safety, morals, good order and general welfare of the inhabitants of the state, to foster the stability and success of gaming and to preserve the competitive economy and policies of free competition of the State of Nevada" (Gaming Control)."

Abstract
The writer demonstrates how the D.H. Lawrence, in his work "The Horse-Dealer's Daughter", created stark visual effects which propel the story along and convey the sadness that results from the Horse Dealer's fall into debt. The paper focuses on the characters of Joe and Mabel and highlights how there is no joy or sense of finality in any of Lawrence's characters.

From the Paper
"There is a directness to this story and the people in it. One does not have to re-read and wonder "what do they mean by that?" or "what is that a symbolism for?" In a sense, the author has created visual effects which propel the story along. Somewhat like a movie or a TV show, we can "see" the surroundings and get a good idea of who the characters are, what they look like and how they talk to one another. Lawrence describes Joe's first words as being said with "foolish flippancy" (Lawrence 1). But, we get a far better image when "he turned aside, worked a grain of tobacco on the tip of his tongue, and spat it out" (1). We have been told, by Lawrence, that we are in the country and not among so-called "gentlefolk. Lords and Ladies do not spit."

Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of the characters' approach to life in D.H. Lawrence's short story, "The Horse Dealer's Daughter." The paper explains what the various main characters symbolize and also discusses the action of the story.

From the Paper
"The setting for "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" is physically stark, the rural landscape of England at a particularly cold and clammy time of year and in circumstances that are far from ideal. Yet in that environment, the action of the story shows that a good life can be found by rejecting the calculated approach to relationships and by living according to instinctual responses. Mabel and Jack symbolize the passivity of conscious experience and the dominance of the emotional and instinctual approach to life."

Abstract
The paper examines D.H. Lawrence's short story "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" and how animals and nature are used to communicate a deeper meaning in the story. The paper focuses on Lawrence's description of characters as animals where the author praises the animalistic while chiding the human, thus suggesting that human characteristics are foolish and fickle.

From the Paper
"Though ecocriticism is a rather new theory of literary criticism, critics have quickly begun to apply the theory to the modernists' work From William Faulkner to Ernest Hemingway to John Steinbeck, twentieth century writers have used nature to make comparisons with humanity and human life. In some cases, like Steinbeck's use of animals and water throughout East of Eden and The Winter of Our Discontent, the natural references serve as symbols. In other works, like Faulkner's As I Lay Dying and Light in August, the nature references cause the reader to compare and contrast an animal existence with a human existence. In much the same way, D.H. Lawrence uses nature throughout his works in order to make a commentary about human life. That the rather controversial author used such literary technique is not hard to imagine, given that the he was enormously concerned with matters of the human psyche, especially instinct, emotion, and human sexuality."

Abstract
This paper reviews the short story, "The Horse Dealer's Daughter," written by D. H. Lawrence. The paper explores how Lawrence uses death to bring about a life-changing experience in the story. The paper explains that what appears to be a desperate situation in Mabel's life turns out to be a moment of epiphany between her and Fergusson when they both realize that they have stumbled upon love inadvertently. The paper discusses the fact that it took life teetering on the edge to force them out of their routines to see each other in a different way.

From the Paper
"Death proves to be something that leads to regeneration in D. H. Lawrence's short story, "The Horse Dealer's Daughter." Mabel's attempted suicide and Fergusson's attempt to save her bring them together in a way that neither could have guessed. Mabel feels dead physically and lives in a dead world while Fergusson is spiritually dead. Lawrence emphasizes the importance of this death experience by including a pond as a symbol of rebirth for both characters. They are creatures that experience an epiphany as a result of entering into the cold, dark pond and emerging not dead, but more alive than before alive."

Abstract
The short story by D. H. Lawrence entitled, "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" talks about the sudden love that both Mabel Pervin and Dr. Jack Fergusson had experienced when he accidentally saved Mabel from the suicide. Aside from the theme of love, one of the main issues discussed in relation to the theme of love is the importance of both protagonists' (Mabel and Jack) role in their small community and how the roles that they have affects their own conception of real love.

From the Paper
"Mabel Pervin is illustrated in the story as a very quiet and reserved woman, talking and saying nothing to her brothers at the start of the story. It is evident that there is no bond between the brothers and their sister Mabel, who, after several attempts from her brothers' part to talk to her, remain motionless and uncommunicative, answering their questions with curt replies, sometimes, not even answering at all. The unfavorable relationship between the brothers and Mabel is reflected through Henry's (Mabel's brother) description of Mabel to Jack: "The sulkiest bitch that ever trod!" Mabel Pervin's character is justified after the incident with her brothers. As the story progresses, we learn that she had no close women acquaintances except for her sister who had died already, and was left alone to the care of her brothers and father. "

Abstract
This paper compares the various features of the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) and National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System (NASDAQ) stock exchanges, which are both very active exchanges.

The Worldcom Scandal

From the Paper
"In contrast to the AMEX market, the NASDAQ employs an electronic listing of competing dealer quotes in which each dealer continually posts firm bids and ask quotes on an electronic screen. [2] There is no central limit order book on NASDAQ, although limit orders may be left with individual broker-dealers. However limit orders on NASDAQ do not drive the posted quotes since dealers are not required to consider limit orders in setting their quotes. Also, the effect of dealer competition is reduced by rules allowing directed order flow to less competitive dealers who agree to meet the best quotes. NASDAQ dealers can not rely on the limit orders of other investors and must post firm bid and ask quotes for minimum 1000 shares. Since NASDAQ dealers have monetary incentive to revise their quotes immediately following public announcements, even in the absence of trades."

Abstract
This paper looks at how both of these works are deceptively sophisticated studies of how power functions in both human society and relationships.

Abstract
The paper states that D.H. Lawrence's characterizations make the reader understand and even sympathize with the characters. The author feels that the characters are disturbing; and yet they are real with real problems and real neuroses. The paper concludes that Lawrence's could be the people next door and that is what makes the story understandable.

From the Paper
"Lawrence creates unusual and yet somehow endearing characters and makes the reader care about them, and what happens to them. "The Horse Dealer's Daughter" is no exception. Mabel Pervin is the heroine of this novel, but she is a desperately unhappy woman, ashamed of her poverty, and sick to death of caring for her rather oafish brothers. Her only joy is taking care of her mother's grave, where she feels "secure," even though others can watch her as she works. "
