Abstract
This essay compares and analyses the poems "Dockery and Son" by Philip Larkin and and "Follower" by Seamus Heaney for the theme of family, regret and guilt as well as the structures of the two poems. The analysis is supported by appropriate quotes.
From the Paper
"In the poem Follower, Heaney is writing about his father, since, in the first line, he says, ?My father worked with a horse plough.? In fact, for the first three stanzas, the poet talks about his father?s skills as a ploughman, and this shows just how much he admires his father. He shows his father?s skill in many ways, like when he personifies a full sail strung to his father?s shoulders: ?His shoulders globed like a full sail strung?, which is a good use of simile; this shows how intense his father?s work was. Also, he tells us that ?The horses strained at his clicking tongue,? and that ?with a single pluck of reins, the sweating team turned round and back into the land,? and I realize that everything is at his father?s command, and his father seems to be one with the field, thus showing the theme of unity with the field."

From the Paper
"Creating an automated quoting system is one of the most effective online selling strategies any company can pursue, and this is especially true in financial services, Long Beach Mortgage's core business. The business development team has found in their initial research that existing approaches to completing quotes, generating pricing, and then tracking specific opportunities are for the most part manual. Like many financial services and manufacturing teams, they are also finding that every sales representative has a slightly different approach to creating quotes, pricing, and tracking them. The result is that often tracking the overall sales pipeline, or value of potential prospects in total across the entire company, is difficult to achieve."

Abstract
A descriptive and thought provoking analysis of the character Macbeth, including direct quotes from the play.
From the Paper
"In life, we are taught to waste few opportunities. It seems almost by natural instinct to grab what we can when we can. Some cultures might see this as greed. Others might perceive it simply as common sense. No matter one's stand on the subject, it is difficult to deny that it is true. Even in the world of fiction, a land of abstract thought, this idea rings true. However, it is uncommon to come across a work of fiction than enables the idea that characters are human. They are not black and white. Every situation does not have a "right" or "wrong" outcome. Shakespeare's Macbeth is an example of such a concept. Shakespeare addresses the difficult task of representing the effects on the human psyche after being barraged by guilt and lust for power."

The Lotus Eaters: A Chapter Analysis, 2001.
The parallels between Homer's "Odyssey" and Joyce's "Ulysses", in a single chapter and the experiences of Leopold Bloom in a single hour.

Abstract
This essay takes on just one chapter of James Joyce's most critically acclaimed novel, Ulysses, and attempts to unravel some of the mystery behind the chapter entitled "The Lotus Eaters" It discusses the parallels between the Joyce chapter and its corresponding chapter in Homer's Odyssey, with an analysis of religious, political and sexual allusions in the chapter. It also discusses the contemporary influences on the main character, Leopold Bloom, analyzes his sexual inadequacy and attempts to put this single chapter in perspective with the rest of the novel. Includes quotes and page numbers from the unabridged text.
From the Paper
"The meandering route that Bloom takes to the Postal Annex is also indicative of a dreamy "lotus-eating" atmosphere that parallels the Homeric description of the land of the Lotus-Eaters. In Homer's epic, Odysseus travels to a land of men who are generous to excess, and eat the lotus flower in order to induce a confused, forgetful, dream-like state of consciousness. Bloom is likewise a bit dazed, and his thoughts seem to meander as much as his footfalls as he stops by the window of the little tea shop. "Under their dropped lids his eyes found the tiny bow of the leather headband inside his high grade hat" (71). Joyce's writing here, and the subsequent language in the following paragraph mimic the confused leaps the mind takes as it is being lulled to sleep, and Bloom's eyes are half-hooded as if he is a man in a trance."

Request for Proposals and Quotes, 2001.
This paper describes the structure and functions of "Requests for Proposals" used in the business world.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper details the purpose and format in which "Requests for Proposals" should be done and explains how Request for Proposals and Request for Quotes are vital parts of the business world and the information technology lexicon. When writing a Request for Proposal and/or a Request for Quote, the author notes, it is important to have clarity and structure. This paper gives a description of what the RFP/RFQ should say and how it should say it. It gives the business rules and laws that the RFP must go by. The author feels that as a general rule, a well-written request for proposal or quote will produce better responses and on both sides it is important to be organized and thorough.
From the Paper
"Oftentimes, both Requests for Proposals (RFP?s) and Request for Quotes (RFQ?s) become lengthy documents as organizations like to be as thorough as possible in order to insure that the vendor is legitimate and will resultantly supply an accurate price quote. The first thing one should keep in mind when drafting an RFP/RFQ is that it should be objective and read plainly. An RFP/RFQ needs to clearly state what it is looking for in response, and likewise provide details on how the response will be evaluated. Keeping this in mind, an RFP/RFQ should highlight what is the most important factor it is looking for (this can be a variety of things including but not limited to innovation, cost-effectiveness, and responsiveness). By giving one?s audience a better idea of what one is looking for in the proposal, one will bring in more responsive material. For example, if one is looking for someone for an organization with special, high-end services than the request for proposal should not shy away from asking about specific experiences or capabilities."

King Lear, 2005.
An analysis of William Shakespeare's presentation of the character of King Lear.
2,395 words (approx. 9.6 pages), 0 sources, $ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is an exploration of the presentation of the titular character in the play "King Lear", from a wide overview of his disintegration and changing role, to analysis of specific quotes from the text which give us insight into Shakespeare's intentions. It covers Lear's presentation in the first act, and how his language, introduction and interplay with the other characters is designed by Shakespeare to make him a figure of status and significance, then considers the role of characters such as Cordelia, the Fool and Gloucester in providing us with more insight into Lear's true nature. There is close analysis of Lear's use of language, and how Shakespeare crafts this to reflect the King's shifting mind state over the course of the play.
From the Paper
"Shakespeare presents Lear in the first act as having his own secret agenda. he admits to having a 'darker purpose' and explains his 'fast intent' to the court. The phrase 'darker purpose' hints that Lear masks his true objectives behind a more cautious public agenda. Shakespeare portrays Lear through such comments as a sharp King who considers his position carefully in vital matters, a man who reveals his thoughts only when he deems it to be necessary - who plots his every action. This presentation will fall in sharp and deliberate contrast with Lear's behaviour later in the play, when he sticks stubbornly to a single, unwise agenda and uses desperate tactics to try to enforce it."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis and overview of the concepts of freedom over and against 'determinism'. The position of determinism will be defended in light of a passage or paragraph taken from the work and philosophy of Baron d' Holbach.

Skinner from a work titled 'Beyond Freedom and Dignity'. Next, an argument will be presented which defends a 'soft determinist' or 'compatibilist' argument which is made by A.J. Ayer.

Knowledge and Politics in "Euthyphro" and "Gorgias", 2002.
An examination of Socrates' views on the themes of knowledge and politics in these two works by Plato.
2,130 words (approx. 8.5 pages), 3 sources, $ 66.95
»

Abstract
An analysis of the themes of knowledge and power in these works reveals the opinion that knowledge is power, and lack of knowledge is deadly. These ideas are examined through the dialogues Socrates has with others. The debates that Socrates has with Euthyphro and Gorgias are explored, including an analysis of the arguments and quotes from the text.
From the Paper
"Euthyphro effectively illustrates the difference between thinking you know something and truly knowing it. Euthyphro believes himself to be the authority in the practice and interpretation of his religion. Euthyphro has a great deal of respect for Socrates and is shocked to find that he has been charged with corrupting the minds of Athen?s youth. When Socrates asks what brings Euthyphro to court, Socrates is equally shocked to find that Euthyphro is prosecuting his own father for murder. Socrates? response to this clearly identifies this as socially unacceptable and at the same time challenges Euthyphros wisdom, ?By the powers, Euthyphro! How little does the common herd know about what is right in such a case. A man must be an extraordinary man and have made great strides in wisdom before he could have been able to bring this charge? (10). Euthyphro?s reply is simply, ?Indeed, Socrates, he must have made great strides? (10). Socrates is of course intrigued and amused at Euthypro?s attitude and pompousness and decides to investigate it further."

Iago and Othello, 2003.
An analysis of how the character Iago from William Shakespeare's "Othello" moves his plan forward through references to his soliloquies and exchanges with others.
4,021 words (approx. 16.1 pages), 0 sources, $ 108.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Beginning with Iago's initial exchange with Roderigo and Brabantio, this paper works through the first 3 Acts of the play "Othello" by William Shakespeare looking at the way in which Iago moves his plan forward. The semantic fields and imagery sequences are examined in detail, with analysis and line references after each quote highlighted in bold for easy cross-referencing. All quotes are well integrated and put into context. The paper also includes character analysis of Iago and Othello.
From the Paper
"Iago's next exchange with Othello shows how successful he has been - Othello makes it clear he has convinced himself of Desdemona's guilt in Iago's absence: "I swear 'tis better to be much abused / Than but to know a little." 3.3.338/9, and "What sense had I of her stolen hours of lust?" 3.3.341. One can infer that Iago is delighted by this, as it means he has been successful, and with the handkerchief in his possession he can offer proof of her 'guilt'. Emilia's deception came just at the right moment, as Othello demands "ocular proof" which Iago is now in a position to give. One may argue that he was playing things rather riskily by "abusing" Othello's ears without the proof of the handkerchief, but now things are falling into place more by luck than by his own manipulation."

Dead Uncle Sam, 2002.
This paper is based on a quote from the book "My Brother Sam is Dead" by Collier and Collier. The quote " Could the United States have made its way without all that agony and killing?" directs the argument throughout the paper.

Abstract
This paper takes a quote from the book "My Brother Sam is Dead" and discusses whether or not the U.S. could have survived without so much bloodshed. The writer of this paper allows for the discussion of American policies and historical decisions that have caused killing in the name of Americans. The paper focuses mainly on the period around the Civil War and the expansion to the West.
From the Paper
"Throughout American history residents have been led to believe that the American Revolution was a necessary evil that could not be avoided at any costs. The killing and the agony that was involved in that revolution have been taught in classrooms since the beginning of public education as necessary to the cause(Collier, 1989). In more recent years however, many have begun to question whether or not it was really as necessary as it has been portrayed over the years. In a book by Lincoln and Christopher Collier called My Brother Sam is Dead the possibility of there being to much violence used comes to light through the telling of the plot. After reading the book the answer to the question Could the United States have made its way without all that agony and killing? Becomes a startling and revealing no."

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses the quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" made by science fiction writer, Arthur C. Clarke. The writer describes and explains this quote and then defends it with examples from modern technology, such as microchips and electronic sensors.
From the Paper
"Arthur C. Clarke was once quoted as saying 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". As a science fiction writer Clarke's insight about advanced technology was highly perceptive. As a matter of fact when technology is truly advanced it does appear to be magic. Certain scientific advances are beginning to simulate phenomena that would previously have been consigned to the realm of the paranormal. Technology is rooted in the real world. It provides electronic solutions to human problems using the circuits ... "

Liberal Bias in the Media, 2004.
Examines liberal bias in the print media during the 2004 United States presidential election.

Abstract
This paper analyzes weekly newspaper articles from four papers over a 10-week period. The analysis finds a strong liberal bias in the print media, overwhelmingly in favor of John Kerry, during the 2004 presidential election. The paper proves its point with quotes and an analysis from many articles.
From the Paper
"The numbers are determined by reoccurring themes throughout the seven weeks of articles reviewed. George W. Bush and his administration are liars. George W. Bush and his administration mislead the American people. The war in Iraq is the wrong war, due to the lack of judgment by George W. Bush. Did I say George W. Bush was a liar? This is proven by a ratio of 4-1 in articles defaming George W. Bush and his administration. I took the eighty pre-election articles and found instances in thirty that brought these points up, some that were irrelevant to the article. Most would continue to quote Kerry or Edwards challenging the credibility of George W. Bush and his administration. Those articles never challenged Kerry nor Edward?s evidence to their claims, nor did the author attempt to refute the claims."
