Abstract
This paper gives an in-depth examination and analysis of Richard Wright's novel, 'The Outsider' from an existential philosophical perspective. Many concepts are explored in the paper, such as literary existentialism and how Wright used it to show the protagonist, Cross Damon's, struggle for freedom. Philosophical ideas are also considered, especially in light of how one views Cross as either being a hero or criminal. The paper describes the novel's structure, and various other themes such as fear and dread. Quotes from the novel are interspersed throughout the paper to highlight character development and the dilemmas that Cross faced.

Table of Contents:
Introduction
Literary Existentialism
Wright and Pessimism, Dread, Fear
Narration Structure
Root of Dread

From the Paper
"The theme of 'The Outsider' is Cross's search for freedom; but true freedom, he finds, is but another expression of the will to power. Hence Cross, the metaphysical rebel, opposes Communists because his freedom (or will to power) must inevitably clash with the Communists' will to extend their power over him. Moreover, since Cross equates freedom with power, freedom actually means the successful subjugation of the will of others; thus the dream of universal freedom is a logical impossibility. In averring that the Communist and the ethical criminal are motivated by the same principles; that together they recognize an identical truth about the human condition; Wright avoids a number of the difficulties of Native Son wherein he tried somehow to reconcile Marxist determinism with existentialist freedom."

Abstract
The paper compares the opinions of writers Bob Herbert and Gary MacDougal on Rev. Jeremiah Wright's mistakes. The paper also shows how their analyses of the media uproar surrounding Wright's comments about American foreign policy and race follow a similar pattern. The paper discusses how Herbert, a New York Times op-ed columnist, and MacDougal, a former Illinois state official writing in the Washington Post, both use the issue to frame other topics they are interested in exploring.

From the Paper
"In their opinions on the recent controversy surrounding the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, writers Bob Herbert and Gary MacDougal agree that Wright overstepped his bounds as a religious man. However, the conclusions they draw from his mistake are miles apart. Herbert lightly condemns Wright's comments and re-directs them in order to discuss how the important issuesin the American election are being forgotten. MacDougal hones in on the comments themselves and derides the pessimism in the African-American community. Yet their analyses of the media uproar..."

Abstract
The paper analyzes Ronald Wright's book "A Short History of Progress", 2004. The paper discusses how Wright examines the history of civilizations in terms of cultural stagnation by tracing examples from the Stone Ages, to the Middle Ages, to Contemporary society.

From the Paper
T"he book "A Short History of Progress" written by Ronald Wright discusses the patterns of progress and disasters in humanity since the Stone Age and examines the inherent dangers of cultural stagnation. Wright traces the progression of civilization throughout the years from the Stone Ages to today. His book provides evidence from history that is compelling and thought provoking. Wright's central argument is based on the notion that rise and fall of civilizations past demonstrate self-destructiveness, thus provides a glimpse into the future for civilizations to come."

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "A Short History of Progress" written by Ronald Wright. Wright argues that progress, as an ideology, is merely a myth. The paper describes how humans see their own progress and advancement in the rapid transition from an industrial economy to information based one, while the reality is that the food technology of the late Stone Age is the only one we cannot live without. The writer explains that the crops of about a dozen ancient people feed the 6 billion people of the world today.

From the Paper
"Ronald Wright is a British historian and the author of "A Short History of Progress", an interesting and challenging read. The book is small in appearance, but packs a big punch in terms of jamming the pages with historical facts and antidotes that are informative and intriguing. In his book, he examines the progress and downfall of ancient civilizations. Wright's purpose for writing the book is to warn people of the potential loom and doom facing contemporary society if no attempt is made to avoid the same disasters of civilizations past."
