Abstract
This paper explores, section by section, the main themes and characters in Whites' popular representation of the immortal legend of King Arthur. The paper explains how White takes a legend and creates a tale full of love, loyalty, war, peace, and idealism. He gives the reader a tragic tale of the human spirit. The paper continues to discuss that the plot remains central to the theme of "might vs. right" until the very end.

From the Paper
"The next section entitled The Queen of Air and Darkness tells of Arthur's war to defend his title and secure his throne. His fight to claim his rights leads Arthur to a battle within himself. At one point Arthur declares to his subjects "Why can't you harness might so that it works for right" (254). He believes that in his pursuit to conquer his foes, he could use might to turn the bad things into something good. Merlyn is aware of his naivete but knows that time will bring knowledge or failure. Only time will tell the story. Later in the Ill-Made Knight, he creates a roundtable of his best and most noble knights to fight for the good of the kingdom. He chooses as one of his knights, Sir Lancelot, known as a "knight with a medieval respect for honour" (353)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how T. H. White's book is an attempt upon the author's part to tell the story of King Arthur and the Round Table through new eyes, to a new audience. It shows how the book details Arthur's coming to power and his loss of power in four books. It is not simply as a history of nobility or the English crown, but chronicles an experimental ideal of justice advanced by Arthur during an earlier era of English history.

From the Paper
"The equally anachronistic ideal of democracy in the Middle Ages is reflected in the book's symbolic use of the Round Table. The Round Table has no head, unlike a rectangular table. The rectangular table was the traditional table used by kings to administer their courts. The rectangular table has a "head," or a seat alone, where the presiding individual stands above and aloof from the others. But the round table of King Arthur does not have such a head. It does not have such a seat apart from the other knights, even for the king himself. During a meeting of Arthur and his knights, Arthur is an equal. During a council meeting, every knight has the same right to articulate his grievances."

Abstract
This paper examines the failures in King Fahd of Saudii Arabia's reign. It shows that despite the fact that he was born a prince of the House of Saud, he does not have the credentials of a modern, educated, leader with a global understanding and perspective. The paper examines his failure as an Islamic leader as well as the failures in the King's foreign, economic and domestic policies. The paper also looks at Saudii Arabia's future, with the future king, Prince Abdullah, at its helm.

From the Paper
"During the reign of King Fahd, the economic position of the Kingdom has become increasingly dismal. The five-year plans that have been promulgated have been a monument to the failure of the country to achieve its major goals of diversification of industry and distribution of goods and wealth throughout the country. Some of the foreign policy initiatives of Fahd -- particularly his movement toward the United States -- have been dictated by his failures to right the course of the economy. Thus, the country has become more and more dependent on direct and indirect economic support from the United States."

Abstract
The falsification of the audience's expectations and Hal's miraculous emergence as a great English king, alongside the Hal-Falstaff relationship out of which the future king's identity is gradually constructed, are the main critical puzzles in most studies of the William Shakespeare's "King Henry" series. The paper examines concepts of fraud and politics in parts one and two of "King Henry IV" and in "King Henry V". It discusses notions by literary critics such as Stephen who claim that Hal is one of Shakespeare's most Machiavellian characters. The paper argues that Machiavelli's Prince is not sufficiently cruel or sophisticated to be ranked with Prince Hal, despite the fact that Falstaff's cry for help, voiced in his paradoxical accusation that the Prince has corrupted him, seldom succeeds in inverting the audience's impression that Falstaff is Hal's misleader.

From the Paper
"The concept of necessity, as it arises from the morality-patterned Phychomachia, reinforces providentialist notions, an idea first advanced by Tillyard but in a rather different context. Religious providentialism fuses the personal and political domains and Hal's borrowing from the theatrical and diachronic anthropological deposit causes the interweaving of theatrical illusion with politics, thus displaying their common structural patterns. The fusion of religion, politics and theater culminates in Hal's gradual conversion to virtue, which is at once a milestone in Hal's allegedly privileged relationship with God, a major political event, and a stock trick of Elizabethan drama."

Abstract
The paper discusses how in his "Letter From Birmingham Jail" Martin Luther King, Jr. responded to the clergy of Birmingham that called for his ending the marches and demonstrations that were taking place in a city that was considered by King and his fellow civil rights activists to be the most segregated city in the United States. The paper explains that the clergy had published a letter specifying that the demonstrations were creating an upheaval within the social order of Birmingham that was damaging to the future of the Black population, because the clergy wanted to peacefully negotiate with the hierarchy of the city for civil rights.

Abstract
In this article, the writer studies the works of author Ross King. The writer notes that King is the author of the book 'Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling' and discusses the author rather than providing a book review. The writer looks at writing rules and style as they relate to King's writing. The writer points out that the topics King covers are interesting, his research comprehensive, and his writing flawless. Further, the writer notes that King is truly an excellent example of something of a popular historian, where art history becomes more interesting and where traditional ideas are challenged. The writer concludes that coupled with his knack as a historian for uncovering the truth and a unique perspective on history, King is a successful historical writer and will surely continue to be into the future.

From the Paper
"There is no doubt that Ross King is an excellent writer. With a PHD in English Literature, he has studied the classics. And in writing about history he has taken his ability to a genre which is often overwhelmed with dry, lengthy discourse. But Ross is not so verbose, and carefully chooses his words and the anecdotes he adds. Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling was a best-seller, which his evidence of his popularity as a writer. The narrative of King's work weaves through various accounts which are like fiction but are really non-fiction. His writing style is simple and does not interfere with his historical portray. Often, clarity is preferred to language that can cloud the meaning to the words and the meaning of the text. Ross King's writing is historical narrative at its best."

Abstract
The paper demonstrates how Twain utilizes the literary techniques of characterization, humor, suspense, irony and symbolism in his novel, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court". The paper shows how the work can be seen as a statement of Mark Twain's condition: his lifelong convictions, sardonic humor, and high self-opinion. The paper asserts that it is a literary work without comparison and it leads the reader to look carefully at the actions of the past and to proceed with caution into the future.

From the Paper
"Mark Twain, the pen name of well-known American author and humorist Samuel Clemens from the late 1800s, wrote many novels that are both entertaining and enlightening. His writing was prolific and for the most part well-received, and although not as popular as Huckleberry Finn or Tom Sawyer, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is a novel well worth reading. Described as one of Twain's most complex book (A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, homepage) the novel relates the adventures of the main character Hank Morgan, an ingenious inventor and machinist from 20th century Connecticut, who suddenly finds himself transported back to an earlier time when King Arthur reigned and knights in full-regalia roamed the countryside on horses."

From the Paper
"Near the end of their lives, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X's beliefs became more similar. Malcolm X corrected himself after his break with the Black Muslim movement. He now emphasized unity and change through black pride and respect for oneself rather than through hate and revenge. Dr. King, on the other hand, became somewhat angry at the lack of progress made on equality. He started promoting non-violent sabotage, which including blocking the normal functioning of government. At one time, Malcolm X actually wanted "to join forces with King and the progressive elements of the Civil Rights Movement," (pg. 262 Malcolm X: The Man and His Times)."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Mark Twain s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur s Court may be the author s most misunderstood work. This can be traced the book s dual strands that often seem contradictory. Twain wrote a novel that is part polemic and part farce, and while attacking institutions he often praises individuals who make up those institutions. This paper will examine Twain s work and attempt to ascertain his true intent.

A Connecticut Yankee as Polemic
Later in life, Twain wrote that Connecticut Yankee was an attempt to imagine, and after a fashion set forth, the hard conditions of life for the laboring and defenseless poor in bygone times in England, and incidentally contrast these conditions with those under which the civil and ecclesiastical pets of privilege and high ..."
