Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the poem "Tor House" by Robinson Jeffers. Specifically it contains a line-by-line explication and analysis of the poem. "Tor House" is a poem about Jeffers' home in Carmel, and it reminds the reader of the ocean, beaches, and strength. It is a powerful and yet lyrical poem, that makes the reader feel as if they can see the house and the dedication that went in to creating it.

From the Paper
"Line 7 - This line talks about the permanence of what he has created and the world around him. "Look in your idleness" is a beautifully wrought phrase that commands the reader to stop and think about relaxation and work, and Jeffers words this line neatly but grandly at the same time (Jeffers 7).
"Line 8 - Granite is a central theme of the poem, and Jeffers uses it here twice, as if to doubly indicate how important the granite foundations of his home are to him, and to the permanence of the structure.
"Line 9 - This line places the building in context, on the coast in Carmel, by he makes it lyrical and poetic with the words, "by the mouth of the Carmel" which is much richer and pleasant than "the mouth of the Carmel River," for example (Jeffers 9)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the types of irony appearing in Jeffers' adaptation and how they function to establish the mood and reveal the meaning of the play. It explains that irony is one of the main themes that form the backbone of this play, and the author uses it quite effectively to highlight duplicity, stupidity, and contradictions throughout Greek society, especially those that relate to the suppression of women.

From the Paper
"It is clear from the beginning of this play that Medea is a strong, willful woman who is capable of great love and great hate. When Jason spurns her and takes a new wife, "hell hath no fury like a woman scored," and Medea, a "powerless" woman in the eyes of Greek men, manages to arrange the murders of a King and Princess, even as the men in her society attempt to suppress her as a woman and as a powerful leader. She says, " To catch a young slender salmon--not mute, she'll sing: her delicate body writhes in the meshes, / The golden wreath binds her bright head with light: she'll dance, she'll sing loudly: / Would I were there to hear it, that proud one howling" (Jeffers 78). No only does this show her power over the Princess, and that she, and she alone will choose when the Princess dies, no matter how powerless the men of Greece think she is. In the end, Medea wields all the power, she kills Jason's bride, she kills his sons, and she clearly shows she is the stronger of the two. The irony of her strength and purpose is in direct contrast to the way Greece treats its' women, as beautiful bodies with little intelligence. She has outfoxed even Jason, and shows she is not a "mere" woman, but certainly a Goddess, even if she is an evil one."

"Few athletes in the history of professional sports have had as significant an impact as Jackie Robinson. In strongly racialized and oppressive society, Robinson was the first black American to play in Major League Baseball in the twentieth century. For this, and the way in which he conducted himself throughout his life, he has been long remembered as one of the most influential individuals in modern American history: "He was a fighter, the proudest and most competitive person I've ever seen. This was a man who, as a lieutenant in the Army, risked a court-martial by refusing to sit in the back of a military bus," ..."

Abstract
The paper uses Jules Tygiel's "Baseball's Great Experiment, Jackie Robinson and His Legacy" to discuss race relations in America, Jim Crow laws, and how Robinson helped to dismantle aspects of racial prejudice and discrimination.

From the Paper
"In "Baseball's Great Experiment, Jackie Robinson and His Legacy", Jules Tygiel illustrates how one professional American sport, baseball, used its influence to make a dramatic statement regarding race relations. Branch Rickey, the president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, was responsible for bringing Jackie Robinson into major league baseball as its first black player. He was willing to confront racism and it is to his courage in challenging an entrenched social ideology that much of Robinson's own success is owed."

Abstract
This paper argues that American politics have become focused on individual rights, action and identity, and this change is largely a product of the civil rights movements in the mid 20th century. The paper sees one important icon in this movement as Jackie Robinson, the first African-American baseball player. Looking at the influence baseball has had on American culture, the impact has been a great one that challenges cultural notions of identity.

From the Paper
"One of the most important gains of the 1950s and 1960s was the birth of a new kind of politics called "identity politics". Identity politics was based on strong collective identities which have the capacity to penetrate political life and exert pressure which eventually conduces to changes in policies and even mentalities. The major social paradox of the 1960s was that the peaceful fight for civil rights was met with violent opposition; nonetheless, political activists remained strong and left an immense legacy of social change achieved through relentless advocacy which remains a huge inspiration even today. However even prior to the 1960s and 1970s, there were certain public African-American figures that greatly influenced the struggle for equality of chances. One of these people was Jackie Robinson, the first African-American Major League Player of the modern era. His 1947 Major League debut represented an important step towards the end of racial segregation in sports. Similarly to most fields of activity in the United States, there was a strong barrier of color in sports, including baseball. Thesis: Jackie Robinson's contribution to the end of over 60 years of racial segregation was immense. This paper argues that it was through his 1947 debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers that Jackie Robinson made a significant impact on the color barrier in sports. However, Robinson's impact on racial segregation extended far beyond the baseball field. He was the first African-American Major League Baseball analyst, and the first vice president of a major American corporation. In addition, in the 1960s he contributed to the creation of the Freedom National Bank, an African-American owned and controlled entity based in New York which advocated civil rights."

Abstract
This paper addresses Robinson Crusoe's sense of justice as well as his charitable behavior, both of which are notably lacking in the first part of the novel. As Crusoe gains more experience with people, he realizes how kind humanity has been to him, although he still retains the belief in authoritarian rule that, in his youth, he resented.

Abstract
This paper relates that the major topic of John Robinson's, "Squaring the Circle" is how ecological sustainability can be achieved in industrial nations where technological, economic and political realties/interests make the implementation of sustainable practices difficult - if not almost impossible. The paper argues that such a topic is important because concerns about global warming and climate change are now pressing their way to the forefront of political debate. This paper coheres around specific topic words or key abstractions and they each arise more than once in the ensuing paper.

Abstract
This paper takes an in-depth look at the life of the character Robinson Crusoe. With themes of religion, family, society, and internal conflict; The reader gains an understanding of Crusoe's character, beliefs and desires and how his personality develops through his trials and tribulations.

From the Paper
"Daniel Defoe's novel 'Robinson Crusoe' is a critically acclaimed work of literature that embodies a developmental consciousness within its characterization, as well as a multi-faceted thematic scheme intrinsic of the eighteenth century novel. Defoe enables his reader's the ability to extrapolate hidden themes and vital aspects of characterization through detailed accounts of the voyages and adventures that the protagonist, Robinson Crusoe, experiences within the course of his lifetime. More specifically; on page 153 of the novel, with the discovery of footprints in the sand on Crusoe's beach, Defoe illustrates a dichotomy within Crusoe's character which must be acknowledged in order for the reader to most aptly understand the depth of the novels characterization. Through the usage of quotations and textual analysis, Crusoe's dichotomy will be analyzed and interpreted in order to help find consistencies within Crusoe's attitudes and desires throughout the text, as well as develop and deepen the reader's sense of Robinson's character."

Abstract
This essay describes Jackie Robinson's past as a baseball player from the time he first played major league baseball in the United States in 1947. The writer shows that he had no expectations beyond breaking the color barrier so that blacks as well as whites could play baseball.The aim of this paper is to show that Robinson was a quiet role model for the youth of the world for generations to come a role model demonstrating that one person can speak up for what he knows to be right, and to have it make a difference.

From the paper:

"Robinson endured many slights and insults while playing professional baseball. When the Brooklyn Dodgers called him up from their farm club, the president of the Philadelphia Phillies announced that their team would not play the Dodgers as long as Robinson was part of the team. The St. Louis Cardinals threatened to strike. Cooler heads prevailed, and Jackie Robinson played ball. (Mims, 1995)."
