Abstract
The paper discusses how the primary influence of Dorothy Wordsworth on her brother dictates the natural phenomenon of landscapes to be a powerful and divine source of poetic inspiration. The paper explains that although William uses his poetry primarily to elicit the human experience in nature by using the abbey as a backdrop for his memories, his sister certainly provides the foundational natural philosophy that drives his creative desire to become one with nature.

Abstract
In this paper, the short story "Monkeybites" from Dorothy Addison's book "Trash" is analyzed. This is the story of two poor, white college girls struggling to develop a healthy relationship in spite of the violence of their past. The paper treats the issue of self-esteem.

From the Paper
"The rise of multiculturalism has elevated writers to prominence from racial and cultural groups who formerly would have had difficulty even being published in the West. Lost in the ethnic shuffle has been one of America's most invisible and voiceless minorities; poor, mostly rural, whites. Variously smeared with racist epithets, such as redneck or white trash, the trials and tribulations of this population have not had a major writer voice their concerns since the death of novelist John Steinbeck."

Abstract
This paper explains that Catholic Worker Movement leader Dorothy Day and St. Augustine may be separated by years, but they are brother and sister in their joy and passion for life, for God, and for serving their Lord to the best of their abilities. The paper relates that Day question God throughout her life but found the answers in her work, in her strong commitment, and her relationship with God. The author believes that while Dorothy Day has not been raised to sainthood by the Church, she is certainly a saint in her own right and deserves a place beside St. Augustine.

From the Paper
"By sharing their writings and really their souls with their readers, both Day and St. Augustine not only show their beliefs they are actually perpetuating them. Those who read their stories cannot help but be touched by these devout people and the path they chose to worship and share their worship. They are more than believers; they are doers, for they dedicated their lives to following the path of God, and leading others down that path to joy and salvation. One of the things that really stand out in their wittings is their passion and commitment to what they are doing, and their passion and commitment in life. As they share their joy with others, they not only transform others' lives, they transform their own, and that is one of the things that helps their stories ring so true, and become so influential in the eyes of readers."

Abstract
This paper examines how Dorothy E. Johnson formulated her behavioral systems model, an analytical theory or approach to the practice of nursing during the 1960s. It discusses how she believed it was important to treat the patient and not the illness and to see the patient from the perspective of an observer, not an involved emotional participant.

From the Paper
"In Johnson's view, every human person was a kind of ecosystem, or constellation of behaviors existing in a state of sufficiency or insufficiency in terms of their needs and balance or imbalance in terms of their homeostatic processes. The behavioral system of the human body and mind has seven subsystems in Johnson's approach. All of these diverse subsystems are interrelated, although they can be analyzed as separate compartments if this facilitates or enhances the nurses' ability to initially diagnose the patient's complaint. These components are as follows: the attachment or affiliative system, the system of dependency, the ingestive system, the eliminative system, the sexual system, the aggressive system, and the achievement system. "

Abstract
This paper discusses Dorothy E. Johnson, who was a professor of pediatrics and nursing at the University of California in Los Angeles and a leading nursing theorist. In particular, the paper examines the seven subsystems of Johnson's behavioral systems approach. It also discusses how the theory demonstrates a holistic approach while still allowing individuality to determine behavior.

Outline:
Achievement
Aggressive
Dependency
Ingestive
Elimination
Sexual

From the Paper
"The foundations of Johnson's theories are then clearly demonstrated in contemporary ideas about medical care and sociological science, and Johnson, then details those theories. According to Johnson the subsystems of behavior, which will be defined shortly are all interrelated and interdependent and therefore a break down in any one subsystem can and likely will affect another and can potentially seriously endanger the individual. With regard to the subsystems in general Johnson postulates that "from the form the behavior takes and the consequences it achieves can be inferred what drive has been stimulated or what goal is being sought" (Johnson, 1980, p.218) Additionally the individual has a, "predisposition to act, with reference to the gal, in certain ways rather than in other ways" Johnson calls this predisposition of action a "set." (p.219) "

Abstract
This paper relates that the author's own life is like a blank paint canvas. The author states that, with each and every experience and emotion that she possess, she is destined to create new and interesting experiences, none of which could be accomplished without her Muslim faith. The paper compares this metaphor to a story written by Dorothy Allison entitled "This Is Our World" because this narrative offers a similar explanation regarding the reality of art and its significance in daily living.

From the Paper
"My personal experiences have been diverse to say the least, and I like to think of my life as an unfinished paint canvas that continues to evolve with each stroke of the paintbrush. As each day passes, I am able to add a scene to the canvas that will eventually culminate into one vibrant and sundry painting. This metaphor may be compared to a story written by Dorothy Allison entitled "This Is Our World," since this narrative offers a similar explanation regarding the reality of art and its significance in daily living. From my own life, I possess the knowledge and experience that is necessary to create my own canvas, regardless of the simplicity of many events, and these experiences combine to tell my story in a unique way."

Abstract
This paper examines the literary production and biography of the American writer Dorothy Parker. It includes excerpts from many of her best-known works, a stylistic analysis, as well as an examination of her conventions and importance to the body of 20th Century American literature.

From the Paper
"Parker achieved initial popularity shortly after World War I with her light verse and short stories. Although her writing certainly does not seem acrimonious or unladylike to contemporary readers, it was most decidedly received as such by many critics during her heyday. Her cynical narratives and poesy advanced a kind of a general nationwide agitation, a focal point for social conventions that were coming under scrutiny and ridicule by the "lost generation" of which Parker was a part. The primary reason for this cacophonous reception was the fact that Parker unapologetically sought to expand a woman's equal rights to include sexual relationships; she held that if infidelity was included among these sexual "rights" for men, then women should be free to exercise the same prerogative."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the lives, passions and destinies of Dorothy Day, who co-founded the Catholic Worker Movement and Saint Augustine of Hippo have close resemblances and are strikingly parallel. It looks at how they were both born into comfortably well-off families and how both were in search of something they vigorously sought from their youth. It examines their strong links with their parents and similarities in education. It shows how Augustine had received a Christian education, although his father was baptized into Christianity only before his death and shows how Day spontaneously found serenity and beauty in the desolate and drab streets of Chicago's south side at the time. It discusses how both possessed sharp intellect and unbreakable will and how both went through great and varying tests in their commitment to the commandments of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ and in fulfillment of their inner calling.

From the Paper
"Augustine's mother brought Christianity very close to him, and although he was already searching for answers in his youth, he did not perceive the connection his search had with his mother's Faith (Knight). When once seriously ill, he asked for baptism, but when he recovered, he refused it and immersed himself in the current of licentiousness, idleness and worldliness of his time. He also associated with "men of prayers", who impressed him with the concepts of Divine Providence, the future life, and Christ the Savior. But the fires of these concepts and his deep search were doused for 15 years by "every circumstance" (Knight): his success in school, insincerity in prayer, vices of youth, competitiveness and sensuality, which bore him a son. His pride also subjected him to gross error by falling into the snare of the Manichaeans, Oriental thinkers, who enticed him with a philosophy without the entanglement of faith."

Abstract
This analysis provides the argument that filmmaker Dorothy Arzner was able to slip meaning into her films that contradicted the heterosexual and traditional gender roles of the era. Films by Arzner are used to illuminate this contention.

From the Paper
"Though Beverle Houston maintains Dorothy Arzner remains largely invisible to the contemporary public the films she wrote and directed in ..."
