Abstract
This paper describes the changing meanings for the poem For The Children by Gary Snyder. The poem is discussed in the context of Snyder's life philosophies and his collection of poems called Turtle Island, in which we can find For The Children. The poem is primarily about a set of suggestions for the best ways in which to interact with the earth in order to save it for the future.

From the Paper
"In reading Gary Snyder's poem, For The Children, the first image that comes to mind is that of large hills or mountains that are almost impossible to climb. The first few lines of the poem, "The rising hills, the slopes,/ of statistics/ lie before us," bring together a sense of nature and also mathematics (Snyder 86); in reading these lines it is as if Snyder suggests that we must climb mountains of numbers that are incredibly high. We might picture a steep bell curve or other mathematical graph where the mountains are not made of rock, trees, and soil, but numbers that indicate the growing use of fossil fuels, cars, and overall..."

Abstract
This essay explores the uses of language that Snyder writes about in "The Practice of the Wild." By considering alternate meanings of words such as "wild," and "place," Snyder provides a potential for changing the reality of human relations with nature. This essay also draws parallels between ecofeminism and Snyder's views, as ways to expand the ethical and moral basis for ecological harmony.

From the Paper
"However it is the Sex.com case and legal battle which has riveted the media and public attention. Kremen registered the domain name sex.com in 1994. However, in 1996 a convicted fraudster, Stephen M. Cohen, contacted Network Solutions and had the domain transferred to his name. This was to result in a protracted legal battle over a number of years about the ownership of sex.com Cohen was supported by his influence and contacts in the pornography industry in the country. He also had large financial resources and had the financial ability to fight a lengthy and expensive legal battle. In brief, Kremen was to succeed with the assistance of some of Cohen's rivals in the pornography and adult industry. "Kremen took the upper hand when two of Cohen's rivals in the pornographic industry, Seth Warshavsky and Ron Levi, helped fund Kremen's case."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Gary Gildner's "Sleepy Time Gal",
the narrator, a third-party in the story, recounts the tale through his father and mother's experiences, presenting each parent's view on the past events as well as some of his own interpretation. The author points out that the narrator's re-telling of his father's story about the Great Depression without focusing heavily on love and its loss, is indicative of a male stereotype that portrays men as somewhat devoid of romanticism. The paper states that Gary Gildner has de-emphasized a cliched love plot and instead presents it in more of a 'no nonsense' manner. The author concludes that, regardless of how the story is told, the story remains one of love and how it is lost. The paper states that readers are aware of how the narrator provides a balance to an otherwise one-sided and potentially uninteresting story.

From the Paper
"By mentioning the parts he would like to include, the narrator seeks to complete what, in his mind, is only a partial story. By mentioning that he had already intruded too far in a story that wasn't his, the narrator displays the need to balance the story and offers an apology for straying from his stated intent of relaying the story as it was told to him. Though his mother also did not experience the events first-hand, but rather heard it from the narrator's father, her view of the romantic side of the story should be given a certain amount of weight; since the story was most likely relayed to her closer to the occurrence of the events."

Abstract
This book review discusses how Gary Chapman attempts to categorize and analyze what makes up a love language, and tries to identify the characteristics and tactics needed to communicate emotionally within any given language. The author argues that Chapmans' five love languages are meant to help roughly outline what types of behaviors are most likely to please a certain type of personality.

From the Paper
"Early in the book, Chapman observes that an obvious desire exists among couples from all walks of life to better understand their partner and achieve a greater level of intimacy. Countless books have been devoted to the subject, as well as popular magazine columns, television and radio programs. Chapman asks the question: why are there so many couples who feel they cannot meet their partner's emotional needs? He writes that during his many experiences with struggling couples as a marriage counselor, he noticed a trend. Chapman noticed that many of the couples claimed their love seemed to just evaporate after marriage. For some reason or another, the excitement and romance that exists for most couples before marriage seems to dwindle after the wedding.
"Chapman likens the many experiences he encountered to the idea of linguistics among humans. Of the many languages spoken around the world (English, Chinese, Spanish, French, etc.), most people are only raised speaking one primary language. One may learn a second language at some later stage in life, but he or she is most comfortable speaking his or her primary language. If an American, for example, tried to communicate with someone from France, the two would be unable to speak to one another effectively. They would have to resort to hand gestures or use body language to communicate. This is possible but it severely slows the communication process and leaves much room for misinterpretation. In much the same way, men and women speak love languages that, if communicating with a partner who speaks a different emotional language, must be recognized in order to better understand one another's emotional wants and needs."

Abstract
In this article, the writer analyzes the work of Gary Soto, a Mexican-American writer. The writer describes that the type of books written by Soto are childhood illustrations, imagery and poetry. The writer maintains that taking into consideration the influences of Mexican-American experiences in his writings, Soto's books may be appreciated by teenagers from all backgrounds.

From the Paper
"Gary Soto, a Mexican-American writer writes books in the genre of childhood illustrations, imagery and poetry. The collections of his books are created from experiences in Mexican-American communities. However, the language and themes are understood by all adolescents. Soto communicates an array of sensory occurrences in bursting detail to articulate the way of thinking from a young boy being raised in Fresno, California. He centers on small items that a kid would pick up when reading or being read to. Children would notice items-within the books-such as tennis shoes, friends and enemies, animals, a haircut and a bicycle. "

Abstract
The author of this paper reviews the book by Gary North, "Honest Money" which deals with the relationship between money and the Bible. The paper's author examines the book's central idea that the value of money lies in its marketability. In other words, if money is unable to buy you goods and services, it is worthless. The author of the paper continues and discusses the idea proposed in the book that individuals must make and use money according to biblical guidelines in order to call their money honest and pure.

From the Paper
"Honest Money follows the theme of making and using money according to biblical guidelines in order to call your money honest and pure. The bible doesn't restrict anyone with regards to the form of money they use. There are restrictions on how money should be used. But there are no limitations on what constitutes money. For example anything can be used as money: silver money, gold money, platinum money, salt, wampum, but the most important thing is that the buyer and seller should be aware of the mode of exchange and should also agree to it. This is a very critical part. If the buyer or the seller is unaware, that would be considered unethical and dishonest and thus both parties must be made aware."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Gary Nash, in his work "Race and Revolution", demonstrates that early colonial patriots recognized that the ideals that Americans had fought for required the complete abolition of slavery. The paper describes how Nash explodes such long-standing myths such as the idea that abolishing slavery was just not pragmatic. The paper looks at Nash's contention that the failed struggle of the Founding Fathers to create true justice means now Americans still struggle with the issue of race because the fathers passed off the responsibility to later generations. The paper explains how Nash introduces many ideas regarding this period of history that may be surprising to a layperson, and perhaps even to a historical expert.

From the Paper
"Gary Nash's book, Race and Revolution questions the common assumption that the Founding Fathers, however great, were 'men of their age' and did not understand how the ideology of slavery clashed with their conception of universal freedom and justice for all. The debate over race, and the question of whether America would become nation that would be governed for the people and by all the people, regardless of race, did not begin with the Civil War or even the time right before the 'War Between the States.' Rather, the conflict over race was codified within the text of the U.S. Constitution."

Abstract
The paper looks at various Buddhist traditions - Theravada, Gelug-pa, and Zen - and discusses how each one approaches the difficult process of achieving enlightenment. Just as importantly, the paper looks at some important concepts - the notions of one-self, "wild mind" (as popularized by poet Gary Snyder) and emptiness - and tries to define what they are and their significance in terms that are comprehensible to someone not familiar with them.

From the Paper
"What is emptiness? Newcomers to Zen Buddhism (to say nothing of those newly arriving to Theravada or Gelug-pa) have often asked this question. Briefly stated, emptiness in Buddhism means that all things are without intrinsic essence ("Buddhist Glossary," glossary). The realization of emptiness by the practitioner of Buddhism (through meditation, of course) is what allows for the experience of Nirvana and it must also be said that this realization is seen as the end to all suffering ("Emptiness [Sunyata], para.1). As this writer understands the term from previous..."
