Abstract
Using "The Heiress", "Hamlet", "Oedipus the King", "Our Town", and "A Doll's House" as a basis, the paper argues that if one expects too much from people, life will be a disappointment. In another essay the opposite viewpoint is taken.

From the Paper
"In the movie "The Heiress", the idea that if one expects too much from people, one will always be disappointed, is suggested by Mrs Montgomery. In the fictional lives of four characters discussed in this essay, each determines that life is disappointing, in part because most people have relatively limited control over their situations. This is true of Shakespeare's Hamlet, Ibsen's Nora Helmer, Sophocles' Oedipus and the film's Catherine Sloper. In "The Heiress", Catherine Sloper is disappointed first by the abandonment she experiences when..."

Abstract
The paper describes how the narrator in James Joyce's novel, "Araby", is forced to accept that his dreams of the girl were not realistic, how in "Eveline," Eveline's disappointment is because of a missed opportunity, and finally, how in "The Boarding house," disappointment is wrapped up with victimization and manipulation. The paper shows how Joyce uses three very different settings to emphasize that regardless of where we are or where we come from, relationships often lead to failure and disappointment.

From the Paper
"While we like to believe that hope will prevail, we must sometimes take a look at reality and realize that with relationships, disappointment and heartache are never far away. James Joyce establishes this notion in his short stories "Araby," "Eveline," and "The Boarding House." In Joyce's world, relationships lead to disappointment because they do not always have the "happily ever after" ending. To drive this idea home, each of these stories leave characters looking back at hope, standing too far away to touch it. People are lead astray by their unfounded hope and some are manipulated into situations that seem hopeless. Regardless of how these characters come into their circumstances, they are faced with disappointment and heartbreak, revealing Joyce's negative point of view in relation to love."

African-American Studies: Book Critique of Defending Slavery The following paper will discuss the issue of slavery within nineteenth century American society. Specifically, the paper will summarize the theme of slavery as discussed in Paul Finkelman's, Defending Slavery. After concluding this summary, the paper will then summarize two primary documents in the section entitled, "Racial Theory and Slavery" (found in the second part of the text), and analyze them in relationship to the theme detailed in part one of the text. Ultimately, it will be concluded that science, anthropology, theology and ethnography were all pressed into service to condemn African-Americans as inferior - most likely because the

Abstract
The paper outlines the story lines of Flannery O'Connor's short story "A Good Man is Hard To Find" and James Joyce's short story "Araby" and examines the similarities and differences in the themes of morality and disappointment. The writer of this paper suggests that O'Connor embraced the absence of hope, while Joyce's embraced its presence.

From the Paper
"Morality is a theme that is carried through both Joyce's and O'Connor's stories. In fact, both stories mention some type of Christian beliefs as a commonly accepted type of morality. In "A Good Man is Hard To Find," the grandmother urges The Misfit to pray over and over again at the end of the story. She insists that he is a good person and that "Jesus would help [him]" if The Misfit would just pray (193). In addition, the young boy in the story is named John Wesley, the name of a famous protestant minister. In "Araby," however, it is the Catholic religion that is emphasized. Joyce writes that Richmond Street "was a quite street except at the hour when the Christian Brothers' School set the boys free (Joyce 285). Other issues of Catholicism, such as Mangan's sister's convent and a priest, are also mentioned."

Abstract
This paper describes and is based on a newspaper article by an undergraduate humanities student describing his disappointment with university. Various aspects of university life are critiqued, including the Internet and low professorial culture. The students also questions the outcome when education is seen as mere Information, with few critical thinkers on the faculty offering new ideas.

From the Paper
"This paper refers to a newspaper article describing a student's disappointment with lower year undergraduate studies at a Canadian university where the Internet has made its impact towards a less stimulating academic environment, professors often posting lecture notes to WebCT pages that are those read in class, so that undergraduates are not motivated to attend lectures. (Rimer:2008) The author concedes uncertainty concerning what to expect in first-year university but explains little by little the nature of a situation made less challenging..."

Abstract
This paper examines Sinclair Lewis's novel, "Babbitt", which, through the life of George Babbitt, provides a vision of American life during the 1920s. The author contends that the cause for Babbitt's depression is not his disappointment with the aims and morals of 1920's society, but with his suppression of the homosexual attraction he feels for Paul Reisling. This paper, through a series of explications, studies the relationship between George Babbitt and Paul Reisling, such as the camping trip and, in Chicago, when Babbitt sees Paul making love to a woman.

From the Paper
"In Zenith, it is imperative for a man to be seen as a Man, and a woman to be seen as a Woman. There is no room for ambiguity. Babbitt spends his time making sure that he measures up. His main arena for manliness is the office. He describes a business deal between himself, Conrad Lyte and Archibald Purdy (45). At the conclusion of the deal, one where both Babbitt and Lyte profit, George admits it was necessary to "bully Lyte into buying." Purdy signs the agreement after Babbitt warns of possible ruination due to outside competition, a warning Purdy construes as "threatening" Having closed the deal, Babbitt sits back and ponders his "manly battle" but quickly becomes depressed. He cheers himself by thinking about the impending camping trip with his friend, Paul Riesling."

Abstract
This paper describes distinctions between narratives through a comparison of Aphra Behn's poem "The Disappointment", and John Wilmot's " The Imperfect Enjoyment." The author argues that influence and utility of different forms of narrative can very well distinguish a work of literature's tone and characterize the work's entire thematic overlay. This can be achieved through reflecting upon the variety of precepts formed by these two works.

From the Paper
"Woman author and poet Aphra Behn's 1680 poem "The Disappointment" is a historically criticized seventeenth century poem characterized by its use of clever and purposeful narration in its depiction of an ambiguously scandalous plot ,offered by Behn in a quasi-acceptable literary form for its time. Utilizing the technique of third person narration within "The Disappointment", Behn enables her reader's the opportunity to become fully immersed within the poem's characterization and interiority, creating a metaphorically intimate poetic mA(c)nage trios between the reader's, Cloris, and Lysander. In order to fully appreciate Aphra Behn's narrative technique, one must take into consideration the alternatives to third person narration employed by the other writer's of the seventeenth century. Upon Juxtaposing Behn's "The Disappointment", with John Wilmot's seventeenth century poem "The Imperfect Enjoyment", a critical mind is afforded the opportunity to draw upon the general advantages and disadvantages of first and third person narratives. With a critical analysis of both works, one will be able to withdraw the narrative characteristics of the contrasting styles used by Behn and Wilmot; and furthermore appreciate the distinct differences that make each poet a master of their craft."

Abstract
Visionary Design Systems (VDS) is a highly successful developer of CAD (computer aided design) software that is sold in conjunction with the company's position as a value-added reseller of Hewlett-Packard CAD hardware and software. The paper shows that VDS has expanded its operations to include multiple remote offices staffed by a sales representative and at least one application engineer (AE). In addition, the company has a progressive approach toward its management, with the result that all employees are stockholders in the organization (which is currently privately held) and all employees receive both bonuses and commissions on their efforts related to selling the core product (CAD). The paper shows that, at this point, the company is intent on selling Product Data Management (PDM), which is an adjunct product to the CAD products and which has received strong support in the industry. However, the company is disappointed in the performance of its PDM specialist, and the specialist is disappointed in the internal support he has received from the company. This research considers the company's current position with regard to PDM and alternatives which might help the company achieve its long-term goals and objectives.

From the Paper
"VDS could purchase a PDM company (or the PDM organization from another company) and integrate it into the organization. This would require a considerable amount of cash outlay up front, but would save VDS the problem of having to "invent" the PDM organization within its own company. The problems associated with changing the corporate culture would not be avoided, since the new employees would have to be integrated into the culture of VDS, but the focus would be on bringing those employees into the VDS culture rather than changing the culture of VDS so radically that PDM could succeed."

Abstract
This paper explains that Richard Sheridan's "A School for Scandal" and Oscar Wilde's "Lady Windermere's Fan" are both comedies of wit and manners which provide audiences with an absurd look at London's so-called aristocratic society, by using such devices as gossip, collusion, hidden identities, reversal of attitudes, generational recurrence and the discovery of the unexpected lady. The author points out that central to both plays is the question of whether a disappointed wife might justifiably retaliate or console herself by having an affair; and, in both plays, it is the aspiring gallant or lover, who nearly succeeds in convincing the wife to compromise her marriage and her morals. The paper summarizes that, in Wilde's play, it is gossip, which first creates the disappointment and mistrust in Lady Windermere; while in Sheridan's play it is Lady Teazle's attempt to excel at gossip in order to gain a place in what she considers fashionable society as well as the malicious gossip generated by that very society, which threatens to destroy her marriage. Many quotes.

From the Paper
"Most of the characters in Wilde's play are noble enough, though their actions are not always. Usually, they initially act out of love or concern, though as in the case of the Duchess of Berwick her concern for Lady Windermere is questionable but her conviction at least seems true. Darlington, too, believing Lord Windermere to be a lout, acts on his love for Lady Windermere not wanting her to endure a loveless life. Her mother, Mrs. Erlynn, though perhaps long ago selfish when she abandoned her family does in the end act in a selfless manner when she claims responsibility for the fan in Darlington's quarters. And of course Lord Windermere attempting to protect his wife from shame was acting out of love."
