Abstract
The concept of a task to be completed as portrayed in literature is addressed through an examination of two of Camus's works, "The Guest" and "The Myth of Sisyphus".

From the Paper
"The concept of a task to be completed in literature is one that is revered highly. Hercules, for instance, is immortalized by virtue of his labors: he is presented with challenge after challenge, and though he struggles at first, somehow he prevails despite weaknesses, betrayals and even the gods' wrath. In Abraham Cahan's "The Rise of David Levinsky," the protagonist rises from poverty and discrimination to running his own successful business by the end of the novel. Camus, however, takes a different tilt on tasks. His view is that tasks and challenges endure and victory comes in how one deals with the daily repetition and lack of respite: the mettle of his characters is measured in their ability to deal successfully with tasks that persist despite all efforts to escape them."

Abstract
The paper examines the "16 Jackies" by Andy Warhol, which was created after the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. The paper explains that this series of pictures of Jackie Kennedy was manipulated by Warhol to demonstrate how the mass media acts as an agent that empties a person of emotion due to the constant barrage of images that deplete the ability to feel emptiness and apathy.

From the Paper
"The aim of this art study will be to examine the classic 16 Jackies (1964) of Andy Warhol. This series of pictures taken from Life magazine have been manipulated to exhibit the emotional detachment of society through the mass media. In regards to Jackie's four different poses within Warhol's 16 image use of photographic repetition, Warhol believed that the emotional 'droning' influence of the mass media would make Kennedy's assassination far less impacting on the underpinning reality. In essence, mass media acts as an agent that empties a person of emotion due to the constant barrage of images that deplete the human experience to feel emptiness and apathy in the art of Andy Warhol."

Abstract
The paper shows how repetition is a key element in Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" and how certain colors are continuously repeated as an indication of a character's mental or moral state, as in yellow, which indicates mental or moral decrepitude. The paper notes that, throughout the book, certain phrases and also structural patterns are repeated. The paper also discusses how the use of repetition brings forth subtle details in our understanding of the protagonist Raskolnikov's road to redemption and that, until the very end, Raskolnikov continually goes through similar cyclical, repetitive attempts at justifying his actions.

From the Paper
"With this in mind, the immediate regression reflects the level to which Raskolnikov is entrenched within his own moral theory. Even Sonya, the character that is meant to symbolize the hopeful and benevolent nature, can only change this Raskolnikov for a few moments. For the rest of the meeting, Raskolnikov deviates very little from his cynical state."

Abstract
The paper explores how variations in line, form and repetition in dance numbers creates mood for the viewer and explains that the mood that is created depends on the type of expression that is focused upon and the music that is used to guide that expression. The paper provides an example of a ballet presentation.

From the Paper
"How do you feel when you observe particular line, form, and repetition in different dance styles? What mood is created? Variations in line, form and repetition in dance numbers creates mood for the viewer. The mood that is created, however, depends on the type of expression that is focused upon and the music that is used to guide that expression. For example, the movement that exists during a ballet presentation may lead the average viewer to simply feel that what he or she is watching is a beautiful physical expression. However, a performance that occurs which revolves around fast paced musical may make the viewer feel as thou he or she wants to join in the action on the stage."

Abstract
The paper examines Andy Warhol's 16 Jackies where four different poses have been multiplied for a detached affect on the viewer. The paper explains that repetition helps to make personal objects more distant and emotionless, and so by repeating images over and over again, one can become desensitized, even making something as tragic as the President's assassination appear droned out and disaffected.

Abstract
This paper argues that the image of the speaker in Langston Hughes' s"The Negro Speaks of Rivers" as a wise figure representing the black community throughout the ages is conveyed not only in the poem's title, but also its concrete and plain diction, its repetition, and its free verse form.

From the Paper
"The speaker's use of repetition relays the serious tone of the poem and the communal wisdom of the Black community. The poem's repetition is very formulaic, much like the oral traditions and histories passed down by African griots. The repetition drives home the point to the audience as well as tying the story together and making it easier for the griot to remember. The speaker begins by asserting, "I've known rivers", a phrase that is repeated at the beginning of lines two and eight."

From the Paper
"Repetition and Mirror Images in Othello Among the techniques Shakespeare uses in his plays to achieve dramatic and thematic effects is the leitmotif. He chooses an image, or an idea and uses it throughout a play to emphasize his insights. In King Lear, Shakespeare makes repeated reference to eyes and blindness. In Macbeth, he makes repeated reference to blood. In Othello, a play in which Shakespeare is addressing the question of honesty and duplicity, he uses repetition and mirror image as a leitmotif.

Although it is tempting to frame Shakespeare's Othello as a play about jealousy, much as one might characterize Hamlet as a play about indecision and Macbeth as a play about ambition, such ..."

"Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to examine the current research investigating for the effects, if any, of children witnessing (but not physically experiencing) wife abuse in their homes. A very brief review of interventions aimed at remediating effects is also offered. The review concludes with a summary and a formulation of implications of research findings and recommendations for future research. The presented research will also be examined in relation to a particular thesis: not only will effects of witnessing be found, they will be negative and serious with both short-term and long-term consequences.

Effects on Children of Witnessing Maternal Abuse
As early as 1985, Wolfe, Jaffe, Wilson and Zak reported that diverse types of research (e.g., qualitative studies.."

Abstract
This paper examines the repeating texts in many of Samuel Beckett's works, with an emphasis on the use of this device in his short plays. The author analyzes two of Beckett's short plays, "What Where" and "Play" to further explore his thesis. The paper also discusses the concept of textuality as it relates to Beckett's literary style. The paper also describes Beckett's work as taking the reader to powerful depths that require multiple readings.

From the Paper
"Textuality transpires from every part of Beckett's What Where and Play, thanks to the use of textual repetitions, which introduce each time a difference -and even a "differance". In this first section, we have try to highlight the act of repeating within the texts themselves -that is, inner-repetition-, laying emphasis on the first level of the repetition scale. Our second part will be dedicated to the re(-)presentation of the plays, that is to say, the repetition of the written texts through their performance."

Abstract
This paper reviews literature that indicates that, particularly during the past five years, scientists have gained new insights into how the human brain works and what specific changes take place in the brain because of various motor and cognitive processes. The paper reports that these discoveries hold enormous promise for helping educators formulate improved methods of delivering educational services. The paper clarifies, however, that much research is needed still because the human brain is so enormously complex and every individual is unique. Despite these constraints, the writer believes that a fundamental paradigm shift in education will take place because truly individual educational approaches will be based on how different people learn at the molecular level.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"These cost-effective techniques in educational services delivery have assumed new importance and relevance in recent years as American schools continue to struggle to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse student population. Therefore, identifying how young people learn by mapping the corresponding regions of the brain may provide better ways of teaching the approximately 80 percent of students who are not linear learners."
