From the Paper
"This study will examine the characterization of Doc in John Steinbeck's novel Cannery Row. The novel is a celebration of life, including the grime and the glory, and Doc's character is meant to personify this broadly inclusive philosophy. As we read of Cannery Row's people:

Its inhabitants are, as the man once said, "whores, pimps. gamblers, and sons of bitches," by which he meant Everybody. Had the man looked through another peephole he might have said, "Saints and angels and martyrs and holy men," and he would have meant the same thing (1).
Doc is a scientific man, to be sure, but he is also a man grounded in the pleasures of everyday life. We first see him leaving his Western Biological Laboratory to buy five quarts of ..."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the audience is cognizant that social change is on the horizon, the characters themselves, at first ,are only concerned with their immediate, personal changes and struggles. The author points out that the antagonist of the play is the character's collective lack of movement and motion: Jordan is "stuck" in his own way, in a quest for a woman long lost; Weedy and Alberta are "stuck" in their apartment; and Uncle Doc is mired in a life of gambling. The paper determines that the three main members of the family all represent different, but ineffective, pre-civil rights ways of black Americans to cope with societal and institutionalized racism: religion in the form of Weedy; self-sacrifice and self-denial in the form of Alberta; and a recourse to get-rich-quick schemes and the drug of gambling in the form of Uncle Doc.

From the Paper
"Weedy's brother, Alberta's Uncle Doc, often visits both women. Doc is a gambler and a bad one at that, but his humor and animation seem to bring life to the room, even though he walks in a shuffling, difficult fashion. He seems to fill the room even though the audience knows his designs upon the two women are usually purely financial in nature, in a valiant and quixotic attempt, as amongst all down-on-his-luck gamblers, to get more money to waste in dubious ventures."

Abstract
In this article, the writer studies the 1993 movie 'Tombstone' that is a film set in the famous Western town that focuses on the story surrounding the gunfight at the O.K. Corral between the Clanton gang and the Earps, along with Doc Holliday.

From the Paper
"It is not clear how historically accurate this version may be, and there are dozens of other versions on film to compare to it as well as numerous documentaries and recreations of the events. The gunfight is as famous as it is in part because of the many films on the subject, and the specific fame of Wyatt Earp was developed more in the twentieth century after the publication of a book on his life than was true in the three decades or so after the gunfight took place. The film was produced on location in ..."

Abstract
This paper examines how the novel, "Light in August," represents two groups of people who clearly hold different viewpoints on free will and the role of God in their lives. The religious fanatics, like Doc Hines and McEachern, see themselves constantly influenced by the will of God and, at times, guided by His very hand. It looks at how Faulkner projects existentialism's philosophy through the characters of Christmas and Hightower, who represent a dramatic transformation at the end of the novel.

From the Paper
"Christmas' life is not without the influence left upon him by the essence before existence philosophy. The District Attorney, Gavin Stevens, states, "the black blood drove [Joe] first to the negro cabin. And then the white blood drove him out of there" (449). Stevens fully accepts the notion of the "one-drop rule," and represents the mindset of those who would have an influence upon Christmas in regard to his racial identity. During much of the novel Joe is following this rule and the notion of maintaining the purity of white women by telling the prostitutes he is with that he is part black and expects their disgust."

Abstract
The paper discusses how with a return to classical architecture, Brunelleschi often had to work alongside Gothic architects that demanded that he work in collusion with the already prominent medieval buildings found in the city. The paper explains that this was why he was often caught between the gothic style of the past, as he forged ahead adding on his domes and design elements of the growingly popular classical style that would soon embody the Renaissance ideology that dominate the coming centuries.

Abstract
This paper argues that "Spider-Man 2" portrays diversity in the media the way many films portray it, marginally at best. It shows that the only minority groups depicted in the film are stereotypical and used as "extras". The paper also argues that the film did not foster a better understanding of diversity and multiculturalism in American society.

From the Paper
"The media often rely on stereotypes when depicting certain groups, and "Spider-Man 2" is no exception. The only black in the film is the editor who nags at the publisher and is always worried about deadlines. If there are other blacks or Asians in the film, they are extras, with no or very few lines. In addition, the Arab pizza storeowner is depicted as a short tempered, unreasonable boss, and the other "token" minorities have few if any lines. Even worse, the whites are the stereotypical heroes and good guys. Even the evil Doc. Ock turns good at the end, and destroys himself. Thus, the whites in the film are all good, which simply continues the stereotype that whites are good, and people of color are the "bad guys" or enemies."

Abstract
Summary: In this paper I will explore how human society has been transformed, by the media, as well as by government and corporations, into a consumerist collective whose only purpose is ever-increasing consumption at the expense of all other values.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the real life of a prisoner incarcerated in a U.S. prison. According to the paper, the inmates enter the prison like cattle and are counted and recounted several times, then are shaved, photographed, given a hair cut, issued a number, a uniform, black shoes, some bedding, asked all kinds of questions, made to sign all sorts of forms, and are given a prison rulebook. The paper discusses how the inmates are strip-searched and deloused, and from this point on will be known by their inmate number, as they are led to their eight-by-ten-foot cell that they will share with another inmate for the next several years.

From the Paper
"Female offenders are usually referred to as the "forgotten offenders" because prisons for women lack the variety of programs and services that are generally available to male inmates, and those that do exist tend to follow stereotypical lines, such as cosmetology and food service training, and the educational programs rarely go beyond the high school level (DeRosia 1998). Moreover, medical services are extremely inadequate in female prisons, and are a particular problem that has resulted in serious health problems for many female inmates, including pregnancy (DeRosia 1998). The women are getting older, and many of them are going through menopause without proper treatment therapy (Day 2001). One woman describe having surgery, and afterwards, while she was still bleeding, she was strip-searched, shackled, chained, and forced to walk back to the van (Day 2001). More than 75 percent of incarcerated women are mothers, most of whom are heads of households, for, on average, two dependent children (DeRosia 1998). One female prisoner described prison life as "living the rest of your life in a tiny cell that was built for one and now houses three...you have no property, because there's no room" (Day 2001). She said, "Imagine yourself in a relationship with an abuser who controls your every move, keeps you locked in the house. There's the ever-present threat of violence or further repression if you don't toe the line. And imagine being there for fifteen years" (Day 2001). She described being punished to being absolutely controlled, "whether it's about buttoning your shirt, how you have a scarf on your head," everything is under constant scrutiny (Day 2001). According to the U.S. Department of Justice, at the end of 2004, there were 104,848 females incarcerated (Prison 2005). "
