From the Paper
"Worldly hope can be defined then as a belief that something good may happen in terms of something that is physical and touchable. Examples of worldly hope are hope held that one may receive a raise or promotion or hope held that one might own a larger car or a larger home in the future. Worldly hope and Biblical hope are two very different things and on two very different levels. Worldly hope is a hope that resides purely in the here and now and in the physical world. Biblical hope is hope held by those who believe that God is ever aware of his children and their welfare."

Abstract
The paper examines Barack Obama's "Audacity of Hope" speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention and analyzes why it thrust him onto the national stage. The paper discusses Obama's message of pride, unity, change and hope through his use of ethos, kairos, pathos, beautiful language and rhetorical prowess. The paper therefore shows why "The Audacity of Hope" speech will always stand as a shining example of American rhetoric and patriotism.

From the Paper
"Some people consider Barack Obama a messianic figure who will save our nation. Others consider him an intellectual elitist who basks in his achievements. Others consider him a radical liberal with terrorist connections. But most consider him a hard-working and charismatic statesman who will strengthen diplomatic relations with other countries. Despite these different views, everyone agrees that Barack Obama is perhaps the greatest orator of our times. It was his "Audacity of Hope" speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, which thrust him onto the national stage. From California to Mississippi, his words captivated our minds and touched our hearts. His speech made us think, made us cry, and most importantly, made us dream of a brighter tomorrow by stirring our spirits and moving our soul."

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the book 'The Hollow Hope' by Gerald Rosenberg. This paper analyzes all aspects of Gerald Rosenberg's research and uses outside sources to critique his work. The writer looks at 'The Hollow Hope' as a pioneer in political science research. The writer notes that Rosenberg suggests that the study of political science should call for a careful reanalysis of the judicial role in politics and society. The writer concludes that Rosenberg collects an unbelievable amount of evidence to show, in each area examined, that at best the Court followed rather than led the move toward social change.

From the Paper
"Many books pioneer certain ways of analyzing topics, yet it is very rare that a first attempt can demonstrate such a great amount of success. Gerald Rosenberg's Hollow Hope is such a book. Since the early 1950s, political scientists taking a political or procedural approach to the study of law and courts had asked, according to Jack Peltason: "What happens after the lawsuit is over?" Rather than focusing almost entirely on the court decision itself, as in traditional constitutional law, political scientists slowly began to broaden their inquiry to include the continuing political struggle following court decisions. Even a brief examination of this topic makes it clear that court decisions themselves are only one stage of the continuing political, policy-making, process. Through Rosenberg's empirical research as illustrated in Hollow Hope, it is clear that his theories can be applied in many instances successfully to understand the effect the court has on society."

Abstract
This paper explains that the rickshaw is a symbol of what is wrong with Chinese society and how it allows good men such as Hsiang Tzu, the protagonist in "Rickshaw" by Lao She, to evolve into pathetic survivors, who litter the streets and die meaningless deaths. he author points out that the rickshaws appear throughout the story; in fact, they could be considered other characters in the story because they are so important to the rickshaw drivers' lives. The paper states that owning your own rickshaw is a symbol of status in the rickshaw community. It symbolizes how hard the driver has worked to earn the money to pay for a new rickshaw and the driver's freedom from those who rent rickshaws to drivers; therefore, the rickshaw itself is a symbol of freedom and hope.

From the Paper
"To the drivers, the rickshaws are their lives (Lao 12), and so, they take on special significance as the story continues. When Tzu loses his rickshaw, his life takes another turn, for the rickshaw is his livelihood as well as his hope for the future, and he must start all over again on his quest for success. The rickshaw takes on special significance when the reader understands that the rickshaw could make the difference between life and death to its driver. Rickshaws are in fact the story, for the story would not exist without them. They symbolize freedom, but in Tzu's case, they also symbolize bondage, because as he works and works to buy his own rickshaws, he has no life other than work, and no desires other than the elusive rickshaw."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of David Gutenberg's "Snow Falling on Cedars", Nathanael West's "The Day of the Locust", Gregory Maguire's "Wicked", and Annie Proulx' "The Shipping News". The analysis maintains that all four authors offer distinct criticism of modern society but they all achieve this effect through a mixture of the empathetic and disgusting in the creation of their grotesque characters.

From the Paper
"The grotesque in literature is generally associated with Southern Gothic, but ranges across other genres and regions as well. In grotesque literature, elements of the lyrical and grotesque are often combined to add emphasis to themes, characterization and social commentary. In David Gutenberg's "Snow Falling on Cedars", Nathanael West's "The Day of the Locust", Gregory Maguire's "Wicked" and Annie Proulx' "The Shipping News", all four authors use a combination of elements of the lyrical and grotesque to reinforce themes related to modern culture."
