Abstract
This paper examines how Tennessee Williams uses themes of escape, illusory light, and truth vs. fantasy through out his plays. In particular, the paper looks at how Williams brings these themes into his famous play "A Streetcar Names Desire" to depict the nature and attitude of Blanche DuBois. The paper attempts to show how, within the play, Blanche's facets of hypocrisy, fantasy, and deceit make her a memorable character in American literature.
From the Paper
"Blanche also lives in a nonrealistic, fantasy world. Even with her age, Blanche lives in an unrealistic world. When talking about her relationship with Mitch and her age, Blanche even says, "I want magic!" (Williams 81). Blanche has to put herself in a fantasy world where she is young, desirable, and able to experience the magic of love and romance. Blanche tries to make everyone believe in her fantasy world so that she can actually live in it. While in the bath tub, Blanche sings "--But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me!"(Williams 99). By singing this song, Blanche shows not only that she is living in a fantasy, but also thinks that if other people believe in her fantasy it will become reality."

Abstract
This paper discusses possible definitions of justice in its relation to law enforcement. It particularly discusses how criminal justice is connected to the idea of due process. The paper then focuses on current practices within law enforcement that demonstrate justice. The paper argues that policies and practices created to increase public order or individual rights are frequently seen to diminish that which they were put in place to protect. Finally, the paper discusses how justice as it applies to law enforcement in America has changed since the advent of September 11, 2001 and the direction it will take in the future.

From the Paper
"Rapidly expanding technologies, including computer networking, the Internet, wireless services of all kinds, and simple access to relatively anonymous forms of electronic communication, signal a new era for the American justice system and more importantly, law enforcement. On the other hand, law enforcement access to high-technology investigative tools has produced enormous amounts of information on crimes and suspects, and the use of innovative investigative tools are beginning to shape many of the practical aspects of the 21st century criminal justice system. Sadly, in my opinion, the criminal justice system of the future will look much like the system we know today."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that one of the predominant themes in the play 'Agamemnon' is that of obeying the will of the gods. The writer notes that the gods are fickle and often hypocritical, but they also have the power to exact revenge upon humans that break their laws. With the character of Zeus, one sees how this revenge becomes an integral aspect of the play. The writer discusses that the gods are an essential aspect of the play because it is shown that, in the end, their hands govern all actions and all outcomes. Man may have free will but that generally turns out to be to his detriment as 'Agamemnon' demonstrates. The writer concludes that 'Agamemnon' demonstrates how the will of the gods is unavoidable even in the face of victory.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the most powerful example of this kind of suffering occurs with Agamemnon. While he is the king and does defeat Troy, his success is overshadowed by the sins of his father and his own sins. Agamemnon is doomed for a life of pain and suffering even before he is born. The retribution of the gods is linked to the house of Atreus before Agamemnon's birth and because sin must be atoned, Agamemnon inherits this. This is not to say that he committed his own sins along the way. He commits horrific sins and they only compound his curse. He must not only live with his father's guilt, he creates his own with the sacrifice of Iphigenia. He is also responsible for the destruction of some of Troy's most revered places. Agamemnon stands no chance due to his inherited sin and his willful sin. Of them, arrogance is one that incites the gods more than any other. When he walks upon the red tapestries, claiming that he is ..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of "Lysistrata" by Aristophanes and "Women Demonstrate against the Oppian Law" by Livy. Specifically, it discusses how Lysistrata and other women had the power to demand change in law and public policy. The writer notes that these pieces were written during times of strife and war in Greece and Rome. The writer points out that "Lysistrata" takes place during the Peloponnesian War, between 431 to 404 B.C.E., while "Women Demonstrate" was written in 195 B.C.E., just after the Second Punic War. "Lysistrata" never happened, but the Roman women's protest actually did occur. The writer concludes that both works indicate the power of women to sway their husbands and demand changes in the law.
From the Paper
"The story is simple. To end the Peloponnesian War, the women of Athens decide to give their husbands an ultimatum. They will not have sex with their husbands, or any man, until the men hurry up and end the war. In this excerpt, they meet with a Commissioner to tell him their demands. They are outrageous in the way they make their demands, but they make their point with the Commissioner. They argue effectively and with humor, while the Commissioner just manages to look buffoonish and incapable. The women clearly have the upper hand in this debate, and are much smarter than the men they argue with and subdue. The excerpt does not say if they win their battle, but it is difficult to imagine the men putting up with no sex for very long. "Lysistrata" is funny, but it makes a point. Women have brains, too, and want to be included in important decisions by the government. Pushing women aside, as the men of Athens and Rome did, can only lead to trouble in the end, as these two works clearly indicate."

Abstract
This paper addresses the Battle of Antietam in terms of its significance as a military victory, and how this battle helped to change the conduct of war during its era. This paper demonstrates that the fighting tactics used by the Union Army at the Battle of Antietam helped prove that a small, maneuverable fighting force could win over superior firepower, demonstrating that a lack of strategy could not be compensated through weaponry. Through doing so, it can be seen how the Battle of Antietam helped redefine war protocol to a significant degree.

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed demonstration of the meaning of petrification of the myth. The writer takes the reader on an exploratory journey to discover what the term means and how it effects the myths. Using several examples of its occurrence the writer demonstrates the term and its meaning.
From the Paper
"Petrifiction of a myth can mean death to a myth. The petrification process is a process by which a substance is hardened to such a point, that it will hold its current look and value for all time. The petrification of stones for example can create some beautiful discussion pieces, while the petrifications of dinosaur shapes can tell the world the history of their existence. Petrification in many areas can be a positive thing, but the myth that petrifies ceases to serve its purpose and soon dies. Therefore, the petrification of the myth is the myth's biggest challenge and one that it has to work its way around for its entire existence."

Abstract
The following assignment is for a third year sociology course. The topic discussed is collective social behaviour. The collective social behavior examined in this assignment is anti-war demonstrations. The writer uses social contagion theory and emergent norm theory in order to examine the nature of anti-war demonstrations.
From the Paper
"Collective behavior is a very broad area of study. For example, in Collective Behavior Erich Goode states, 'Rumors and legends, fads, and collective protest- these and other social phenomena make up the subject matter of the field of collective Behavior'. Collective behavior is the relatively spontaneous, unstructured, extra institutional behavior of a fairly large number of individuals. The fact that collective behavior is such a diverse area of study means that many activities can be used to examine it. For this paper, demonstrations against the war in Iraq or anti-war demonstrations as they are commonly called will be used to examine many of the theories about collective behavior."
