Abstract
This essay focuses on issues in the writing center community, but whereas previous research has focused on selling the writing center to colleagues this essay focuses on drawing students to the writing center program. The paper states that creating an open forum for writing tutors may help avoid "business as usual" in the writing center community. Further, the essay asserts that since the internal structure of the writing center has already been established, more focus on recruiting students to the center will help it become an academic force in its own right.
From the Paper
"As writing programs become established--our own UNCW's Writing Center included--selling the Writing Center becomes its own new niche; an enthusiastic administrator will have a new challenge for fellow staff and tutors. In effect, we have already looked in upon the writing center program, methods have been debated and tested, and writing centers exist--May we now turn to looking outward?"

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes Oliver Stone's film about the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. The paper focuses on the themes presented in the film, particularly that of hope. Although this review is positive toward the movie "World Trade Center," it does include some criticism toward the film. The reviewer concludes that the audience of "World Trade Center" should take away a message of hope.
From the Paper
"Some reviewers found the film too patriotic and flag-waving, and too religious in nature. Another critic writes, "The visual approach of 'World Trade Center,' heavy on the intense close-ups and fervent in its embrace of the characters' religious and patriotic strains, flies in the face of everybody's preconceptions about what a Stone film feels like" (Phillips). However, these are some of the things that helped the two men remain alive, and this seems as if it is a natural reaction to the unnatural events surrounding them. They turn to their spiritual side and introspection to help make some sense of their predicament and their lives. Above all, they realize they have everything in the world to live for, and they do not want to die. They realize they have made mistakes, and they want another chance to make things better if they survive. "
