"During the 1950s, he traveled throughout North America on a motorcycle along with one of his friends. This book gives a detailed account of his journey. They explored almost all of the North America on an old fashioned Norton motorcycle. During the journey they faced a lots of hurdles, experienced some memorable moments and went through lots of hassles. As they traveled through different parts of South America, they met a wide range of people belonging to considerably different cultures and having significantly different attitudes. A couple of years after this wonderful journey, Ernesto Che Guevara became actively involved in the Cuban revolution and soon emerged as a left wing militant. He was always in a habit of writing down the major events of everyday in a diary. "The Motorcycle Diaries" is in fact a collection from his diaries that he wrote during his journey on the motorcycle. This book is a good source of information about the South American environment."

Abstract
The paper is a brief look at the conversion to justice of a young Che Guevara in the film, "Motorcycle Diaries". Most of all, the paper explores the three-step conversion process - the conversion of the feet, head and heart - and how, in the case of Che, this conversion is motivated by an implicit desire to hasten the arrival of the Reign of God to destitute parts of Latin America. More than that, the paper briefly touches upon the concept of the cross and upon the leitmotif of conversion and/or self-sacrifice. All in all, the paper shows how the film is a classic look at how personal growth arises primarily from giving unto others.

Abstract
This paper compares "The Nanny Diaries" and "About a Boy" as two examples adopted from 'chick lit' and what might be called 'lad lit'. The paper examines the characteristics of these two types of literature using the two books as examples. The paper also analyzes any differences in their authors' major preoccupations, interests, and approaches to gender. This paper argues that the two books put forward a model of what is feminine and masculine that are not traditional in the patriarchal sense, but that nevertheless do have some traditional aspects, particularly in terms of the approach to romantic relationships.

Abstract
This paper shows, through news reports and other information about terrorist activities, that fictional accounts such as "The Turner Diaries" do affect what individuals think about terrorism. The writer claims that books of this nature give individuals ideas about how they may commit terrorist acts in the future.

From the Paper
"In order to understand the effect that books such as The Turner Diaries and other fictional accounts of terrorism have on individuals, it is important to understand exactly what The Turner Diaries are. The Turner Diaries were originally published in 1978. The novel discusses a violent overthrow of the federal government and a systematic killing of nonwhites and Jewish individuals. The intent of this is to establish an "Aryan" world, which meant that no one else could exist in it except for the individuals who deemed that killing the other nationalities was necessary (Shinbaum, 1996). While the book is fictional, many of the ideas in it would technically work, and these are the kinds of things that interest those who are considering terrorism. Unfortunately, many of these people try out these ideas on unfortunate and unsuspecting individuals in this country (Flakus, 1997)."

Abstract
This paper examines Travis Hirschi's theory of control and what environmental factors influence youth delinquency. The paper then discusses the events and factors that pertain to this theory, which are present in the movie, "The Basketball Diaries". The paper also discusses the four levels of delinquency, according to Hirschi.

From the Paper
"Hirschi was a big proponent of the function of environmental influences on youth to cause delinquency. School of course is the breeding ground for environmental influences on a child that stretch beyond the home. The crossing of the four social bonds, which are in effect parts of the social compact that each person aggress to in entering and participating in society, are broken as the barriers to certain behaviors are dissolved; there are four levels of delinquency according to the Hirschi, where the levels are the four main attributes of the social bond; attachment, commitment, involvement, and beliefs. These are the four bonds of four bonds that make up Hirschi's Social Control Theory."

Abstract
This essay will examine both Carrol's book and Scott Kalvert's movie and compare and contrast the two. What will be demonstrated is that, although the movie is well-made in that it tells Carrol's story, the power of the diary in the novel as an expressive tool and framing device, which gives testimony to the best and darkest of youthful experiences, is lost in the movie and this lessens the impact and immediacy of Carrol's experiences. Moreover, the movie in turn makes its depictions too broadly and morally; this is a change from the subtle narrative strategy of Carroll, whose power of characterization is the ambiguity of human interaction.

Abstract
This paper is a discussion of the use of diaries in the classroom as an aid to the professional development of the teacher. Specifically, it focuses on the recording and analysis of the teacher's in-class dialogue as a means of understanding the individual's style, strengths and weaknesses.

From the Paper
"Diary studies is a relatively recent field within the study of educational theory and methodology. In 1975, Joan Rubin inspired other educators to consider a number of different language learning strategies, including using diaries. Kathleen M. Bailey, David Nunan, and others then led the way in exploring the use of diaries by students, teachers, researchers, and classroom observers. They noted that diaries can be useful both in enhancing the learning experience for the student and in improving the effectiveness of the teacher's work.

For students, keeping a regular diary of the classroom experience can serve a number of purposes. First, it can help reinforce material covered in class by having information reformulated into the student's own words, assuring a deeper level of comprehension. Carl W. Walley (1991, Spring) contends that student diaries can be useful tools as soon as students learn to write, helping them to articulate lessons learned in class and to frame learning within their own individual context (p. 152)."

Abstract
The paper relates that most people would agree that Hollywood films serve an ideological function. In particular, a case can be made that Hollywood films provide a cover or mask for social arrangements that are ideologically-constructed rather than natural. Over the next several pages, the paper looks at how Hollywood masks the importance of class distinction in everyday life by answering the following question: how does Hollywood film work to produce the impression that social class does not matter and that the rich are no happier than the poor when you get right down to it? One thing that becomes clear is that not all Hollywood films do this - and films of a more recent vintage do it less than their predecessors. Beyond that, the apper highlights how Hollywood films often seem to suggest that the poor can have the same opportunity for happiness as the wealthy - as long as they do not, for all intents and purposes, give up on the American Dream; in other words, social class does not matter in the sense that it is something which can be overcome on the way to a happier life.

Abstract
This essay compares and contrasts two works of literature written during the Holocaust. Two diaries, one written by Elie Wiesel and the other by Chaim A. Kaplan, are examined from their differing approaches to a shared horrific experience. The paper further explains that the authors both needed the diaries to survive the war to act as testimonies of their trials. The paper describes the two authors' backgrounds as contributing to their different approaches to the tragedy of the Holocaust. Finally, the author views these two works as being of tremendous historical value.

From the Paper
"Kaplan seems ready to place blame upon virtually every group within and without Europe, for the historical and political forces he deemed responsible for his experiences. At times he condemns the ancient prophets for bringing down the wrath of heaven; he also expresses anger towards the Jewish police in the Ghettos; he also identifies what he calls the "conspiracy of silence" among Western leaders who allow Jewish persecution to continue. Similarly, Wiesel is not content to merely blame the Germans for what he was forced to endure. Wiesel takes great care, within the pages of Night, to illustrate the notion that the evil he felt and witness was not merely limited to the soldiers who inflicted the various forms of torture and death upon those in the Holocaust; instead, he sees the historical circumstances as having brought out the evil in everyone. He documents the terrible selfishness that conditions within Auschwitz awakened within the prisoners: "Here, every man has to fight for himself and not think of anyone else. . . . Here, there are no fathers, no brothers, no friends. Everyone lives and dies for himself alone." (Wiesel, 70-1). "
