From the Paper
"The telescreen that the device that the "Thought Police" used to obtain evidence of Winston and Julia's affair, just as CCTV cameras hold evidence against criminals today. The only things that the telescreen could not record were Winston's thoughts. This was shown when Winston used the flashback technique to show Winston thinking of the past. I liked his use of this technique because it created contrast to the world in which Winston now lived - it had not always been like that. In modern life, our equivalent is the CCTV camera. However, it is shocking to believe that we are actually worse than the Party in this area. CCTV camera watch over the nation 24/7, criminals are tagged, ID cards are just waiting to be introduced, and - thanks to mobile phones and project echelon - you can be pinpointed to your exact location on the planet as well as have all your phone calls recorded. The fact that Orwell made Winston seem powerless to the telescreen only made me think more about how much this nation is turning into a policed state, so I found this an extremely effective portrait of modern society."

Abstract
This paper studies George Orwell's masterpiece "1984". The paper compares other criticisms about "1984" and provides a biography of the author, George Orwell. The last paragraph is an analysis of the conversation between the characters Winston and O'Brien and the importance of their meetings.
From the Paper
"In 1984, George Orwell creates a dystopia in which the individual must conform to society in order to participate in it, and in which nonconformity results in death. George Orwell?s character Winston Smith represents Orwell himself, because society distinguishes Winston as a minority of one, one that can never be right. The society in which Orwell lived differentiated Orwell as a lonely man with the courage to be alone, and Orwell was an individual with common sense rather than creativity, both characteristics of Winston Smith (Hopkinson). Orwell links man and society through collectiveness, if one is not part of society, society shuns him and tries to alter personality until conformity persists."

From the Paper
"In his highly prophetic downbeat masterpiece George Orwell presents a vision of what the world might become. It is a startling prophecy considering that Orwell published his novel during the aftermath of World War II. Indeed, Orwell is highly influenced by both the Nazi Regime in Germany and the rise of the Soviet Union within world politics. As Orwell attempts to warn against the dangers of a totalitarian government, he envisions a bleak future for our world presenting readers with a nightmare of repressive and omnipotent government control. In creating ... "

Abstract
This paper analyses the novel "1984" by George Orwell and compares how present working conditions through modern technology could easily parallel the predictions in the book.
From the paper:
Nineteen eighty-four is a tale of future society, a society in which independent thinking is a crime punishable by death. A tale of a society that is populated with mindless, loveless, unfeeling followers of nothing. This is also a nation whose leaders are self serving and are not concerned with the common good by which all of society will benefit. A governing force known as "The Party" rules society. At the head of this government is a fictional figure known as Big Brother, whom all citizens must love and respect. The idealism of blind loyalty was embodied in this symbol. It was the center of control. In this society, privacy and freedom do not exist. The Party does not need to justify its arrogant ways because it holds all of the power.

Abstract
This paper examines George Orwell?s "1984" in an attempt to discover the author?s basic insight that leads to the worldview presented in the work. The first section reviews Orwell?s own reasons for writing and his comments on the political nature of his work. It briefly considers Orwell?s social and personal context in which "1984" was written. The next section identifies the satire against socialism. The third section explores the specific dangers he warns society against and the views he is promoting, not only as they related to the world in late 1940s when the work was written, but also as they relate to the contemporary world. This section also discusses the heightened fear caused by the closeness of his dystopian vision to reality. The fourth section pursues the ideal world that Orwell wanted to proscribe for us as his creative vision for the book.
From the Paper
"His personal health during the writing of the book was falling. Some critics believe that this lead him to write a pessimistic work, with no avenue open for hope. Fredric Warburg [3] said, ?I cannot but think that this book could have been written by a man who himself, however temporarily, had lost hope, and for physical reasons which are sufficiently apparent.? I do not consider this to be a significant factor in his writing of the book, and do not consider pessimism to be the main thrust of his creative impulse, which is discussed from a different perspective in this paper. The hopelessness may be viewed as a device used to make the effects of totalitarianism more vivid. Some critics have also linked some description in 1984 to Orwell?s experiences at his childhood school and other times. "

Seneca?s ?On Tranquility of Mind? and Perpetua?s Visions, 2004.
Compares Stoic Pagan philosopher Seneca's focus in "On Tranquility of Mind" to what interpreters focus on in Perpetua's visions and dreams.

Abstract
This paper compares the interpretations of Seneca's "On Tranquility of Mind" with the interpretations of Christian martyr Perpetua's self sacrifice. The paper explains that, although the message of both Perpetua and Seneca is about the importance of doing what is right, regardless of the interpretation of the larger world, their different backgrounds made their own contemporaries view the lives of these two and what they represented in very different terms.
From the Paper
"What does the Stoic pagan philosopher Seneca have in common with the Christian martyr Perpetua, other than the fact that both individuals wrote during the latter part of the height of the Classical Roman Empire? Both writers perceived themselves as attempting to live, in real and philosophical terms, an alternative existence to their more contemporary, worldly peers. However, while the Stoic focused on his readers achieving a state of correct philosophical mind, the interpreters of Perpetua?s visions and dreams focused on what the young woman?s martyrdom meant in a political and physical sense, regardless of Perpetua?s own interpretations of her behavior."

Feminist Visions, 2003.
Discusses the feminist vision in literature within the context of "Jane Eyre", by Charlotte Bronte, and "Wide Sargasso Sea", by Jean Rhys.

Abstract
Jean Rhys extends far past Charlotte Bronte's limitations, not only in the feminist vision, but also in her opinions of the post-colonial experience. Through "Jane Eyre", Bronte has a feminist vision, but in the 19th century, she was unable to view some of her patriarchal constraints. Jean Rhys, in "Wide Sargasso Sea", pulls back and stands apart, making her able to pick up where Bronte and other feminist writers have left off, and gives the readers a clear, uncensored vision. This paper states how Bronte is able to undermine part of her patriarchal constraints, but ends up falling short of her goal. It also shows how Rhys, who picks up the same storyline as Bronte, is able to overcome that patriarchy and truly have feminist visions.
From the Paper
"Rhys, now, takes up the feminist torch from Bronte and runs with it. Woolf seems surprised in A Room of One?s Own when a female author remarks that one woman likes another woman (82). Females always seem to be portrayed in relation to a man, but in Woolf?s instance it?s a woman-woman relationship. Rhys accomplishes multiple relationships between Antoinette and various female, and male, characters. It could be argued that the main relationship observed is Antoinette and Rochester?s, however I believe that she delves much deeper in female relations than Bronte achieves."

Visions of Death in Literature, 2006.
Compares and contrasts the themes of death in William Shakespeare's "Fear No More the Heat O' the Sun" and Robert Herrick's "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time".

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the treatment of the themes of death in two English poems, one by William Shakespeare and one by Robert Herrick. The paper argues that in "Fear No More the Heat O' the Sun" by Shakespeare death is approached as something positive, not to be feared but embraced and looked forward to whereas Herrick, in "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time", treats death as something to be feared and avoided, viewed in a much more negative light.
From the Paper
"This paper looks at two famous poems written in the 16th and 17th centuries that both deal with the prospect of death. One is by William Shakespeare, titled "Fear No More the Heat O' the Sun," and the second is Robert Herrick's classic "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time." These two poems have certain elements in common, and others that are very different, which this paper will discuss. The first and most obvious similarity between these poems is the use of the theme of death and the inevitability of death for each and every person. In the times these poems were written, health and life conditions were much worse than they are today, and death was a common aspect of daily life. Both poems point out that although death will take us all eventually, there is still life to be enjoyed and made the..."

Cloning: Double Visions of the Future, 2001.
An essay discussing the pros, cons and history of cloning.

Abstract
A thorough discussion of the history and pros and cons of cloning in general. This paper supports cloning humans to help humanity so long as the ability is not abused. Topics presented include natural clones and philosophical, physical, medical and various other issues.
From the Paper
"The word ?cloning? once brought to mind a vast array of ideas and thoughts often possible only within the context of science fiction, and yet our technology has now reached a stage in which possibility has become reality. In 1996, the first successful mammalian clone was created and named Dolly - a sheep born asexually who had the exact same genetic sequence as her mother (Hawker). Recently, in 2001 a human embryo was cloned and grew to the 6 cell stage before it died (Hill). These two events have raised an enormous amount of questions surrounding the ethics and benefits of cloning. Even though cloning exists in nature (Identical Twins, bacteria, most unicellular organisms, plants not from seeds, some algae and fungi, many Invertebrates are all natural clones), there is a sense of taking evolution and nature into our own hands by cloning?most especially in context to cloning human beings (Hawker). There are strong arguments both for and against cloning, but I believe cloning is only feasible to help humanity so long as it is not abused."

Visions of Hector; Glimpses of Myself, 1999.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the rich development of characters in Homer's Iliad, specifically examining the heroic character Hector to demonstrate Homer's success as a literary portrait painter. The author looks at Homer's techniques that brought the Trojan hero to life: simile, viewing Hector through enemy eyes, and describing his human nature, insecurity, honor, and his violent end.
From the Paper
"Reading the Iliad leads us to ask many probing questions about humanity because the characters are embroiled in many issues that are of relevance even today. Hector, for instance, raises the question of the futility of war - how do you justify an event that kills so indiscriminately without respect for love, honor or responsibility? Questions such as these are asked only when the reader feels an involvement in the story; in the Iliad Homer makes that possible by breathing life into his characters, and we cannot help but share in a sense of loss when Hector dies as a victim of cruel circumstance."

Visions of Violence, 2004.
A brief discussion of the problem of media and whether it causes violent behavior in children.
810 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper asks whether media has a negative affect on children's behavior. It questions whether the media itself needs to be held responsible or whether it is the parents' duty to control their children's TV viewing.
From the Paper
"A teenaged gunman opens fire in a Colorado school. A twelve-year-old boy rapes and kills a six-year-old. Yet another boy kills a toddler just for the ?fun? of it. These are but a few of the recent headlines that paint a shocking picture of American society. We are a culture in turmoil; a culture beset by depravity and violence. It is hard enough to raise a child today without reading stories such as these, but harder still when, in the name of entertainment; our children and we are bombarded with such images on a daily basis. For who can turn on a television or go to a movie without witnessing some violent and offensive scene? Those who should be setting good examples only encourage the trend toward greater disregard for ethical standards. Authority figures behave inappropriately, heroes tote guns, rock stars sing of shootings and gang violence ? and media moguls cry freedom of speech when confronted with the consequences."
