Abstract
The essay entitled On Jane Eyre is a study of certain chapters from the famous nineteenth century novel about a plucky English orphaned girl trying to survive and established herself as an autonomous woman in a world. The paper cites how this was extremely difficult because of the social and religious constraints in which she lived. The paper concludes that the character Jane was able to do so through a combination of pluck and luck.

From the Paper
"Charlotte Bronte subtitled her novel "An Autobiography," and there doubtlessly was much in the novel that was autobiographical in the sense that Bronte had to struggle against the confines of Victorian England. Social and religious conventions sharply limited what women were able to do. Jane Eyre could not consider marrying above her station. She was expected to follow religious examples, many of which involves seriously destructive attitudes. As a woman, she was expected to produce children, but even modest displays of sexual activity were considered shocking. When Mrs. Fairfax see Rochester kissing, she regards it as such a serious..."

Abstract
This paper briefly argues that Bronte's Jane Eyre is a new kind of woman and that she is, far from perpetuating inherited sexism, a prototype for a new kind of feminist woman who is not afraid to be bold. The paper further notes that she is not afraid to stand up for herself as best as she is able. Beyond that, she strives professionally and she is unafraid to resist Rochester's urgent plea that they both flee to France and live as man and wife even though his first wife wife is still alive. Jane does not resist because she values conventionality so much as she declines because she values her own self-respect.

From the Paper
"The following essay will briefly argue that Bronte's Jane Eyre is a new kind of woman and that she is, far from perpetuating inherited sexism, a prototype for a new kind of feminist woman who is not afraid to be bold (Jane has little reservation, it seems, about speaking the truth as the truth manifests itself to her) and she is not afraid to stand up for herself as best as she is able. Beyond that, she strives professionally for things (even if the things to which she can aspire are limited by the institutional barriers of her time) and she is unafraid to resist Rochester's urgent plea that they both flee to France and live as man and..."

Abstract
This paper considers the way in which Charlotte Bronte's autobiographical details allow for a feminist message in her novel, "Jane Eyre." The paper contends that Jane's true ambition is to overcome the repression of the male-dominated society of the 19th Century.

From the Paper
"In many ways Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" may be read as one of the earliest feminist texts in English literature. While Bronte employs many of the standard elements of the Gothic novel, it is clear that her true ambition is in her depiction of the title character, a woman who endures great trials in order to overcome repression in the male-dominated society of the nineteenth century."

Abstract
This paper examines Charlotte Bronte's novel "Jane Eyre" as an example of a woman trying to gain independence in a male dominated society. The paper details Jane's survival of tragic events in her life.

From the Paper
Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" is considered a classic Gothic novel as it focuses on an unrequited romance and maintains a dark tragic mood throughout. Indeed the novel's title character is forced to endure much suffering and tragedy though she is able to survive these events and achieve a measure of happiness by the novel's conclusion. In this regard Bronte's work may be viewed as one of the earliest feminist texts, as she places Jane Eyre's thoughts and feelings at the novel's center."

Abstract
This paper studies Jane Addams the woman and her accomplishments. At her time, she was probably the most beloved woman in America. It details all her areas of progress including: founding a settlement house, educating, writing, labor advocate, and suffragist. She left a legacy of democratic values behind her and American democracy was at a loss. She had paved the path for women that are holding very high positions in corporations, as general counsels, vice-presidents and presidents.

From the Paper
"The world certainly did lose something with the death of Jane Addams, with her passing the world lost her fighting spirit and brutal loyalty to American democracy and social justice. But what she left behind was a paved road for women to follow her footsteps. She left a set of ideals in people's minds, she left a role model for little girls who wanted to grow up and change the world. Today and in our history, we have some of those women who fight for some of those same democratic values. Women who are both powerful and influential and make good use of their positions just as Jane did. Women like Eleanor Roosevelt who fought for some of the very same things Jane Addams did, such as democracy, women's rights, and children's education. Oprah Winfrey is another example of an influential role model for women today. She uses her talk show to reach millions and to pass on a message of peace and equality for everyone. Laura Bush continues to crusade for causes both political and social such as literacy, equality, and world hunger. Jane Addams created the foundation for these women to be able to do what they're doing; she showed us all how it's supposed to be done. "

Abstract
This essay examines the issues of eating in Victorian society through Charlotte Bronte's novel, "Jane Eyre. She uses food as an example of the extent to which Victorian society maintained control over the individual. Other areas explored are in the essay include societal rules, class, morality, sexuality, power and control.

From the Paper
"Women did, in fact, have a source of power over men; but the nature of Victorian society ensured that this power remained hidden. Sex, and in particular, female sexuality, were concepts considered too scandalous and immoral to be recognized. Bront therefore employs imagery of eating and starvation to explore the relationship between Jane and Rochester. Jane asserts that "to taste but the crumbs he scattered was to feast genially" (p.243); she is satisfied with just a little romantic attention. Rochester, however, is desperate to possess: "we must become one flesh without delay, Jane" (p.440). The sexual power Jane holds over Rochester can be illustrated when she refuses his company at dinner: they will not eat together until they are married and she "can't help it" (p.268). In this case, the intimacy of eating together replicates the intimacy of sex, and Jane is holding back."

Abstract
This paper presents an autobiography of the famous film director, Oliver Stone. The author discusses Stone's career, famous works and examines the main themes of his films such as political events and social history.

From the Paper
"Oliver Stone is a director who rose to success against high odds through hard work and perseverance. He began as a screenwriter for the film industry and saw script after script either rejected or rewritten by other, more senior and established writers. His directorial debut was a low-budget horror film released in 1974 called "The Hand," but his first real success was as a writer. The movie "Midnight Express" (1978) earned him an Academy Award for best screenplay adaptation. He next returned to directing with "Seizure" (1981), followed by his third effort "Salvador" in 1986 which was characterized by inventiveness and frugality which earned him the opportunity to make "Platoon" (1986) based on his own screenplay. "Platoon" redefined Vietnam War films and earned four Academy Awards including best director and best picture."
