From the Paper
"This paper is a study of a house designed by one of the leading postmodernist architects in America, Charles W. Moore. Moore established his reputation with striking and fanciful designs that both blend his constructions into the landscape and separate them out in astonishing ways. His designs for the Sea Ranch condominium remain among the most interesting uses of space and structure, but his conception for a single-family dwelling best personifies Moore's contributions to the direction of American architecture in the latter half of the 20th century. With the Klotz House, designed and built between 1967 and 1970 in Westerley, Rhode Island, Moore offered his own distinctively arresting answers to some of modern architecture's most intriguing questions. The Klotz House stands as a fascinating example of late 1960s postmodernist architectural thinking, yet.."

Abstract
The paper deals with educational researchers and reformers who develop literature to effectively decide as to whether secondary school is a preparation for life or college. The paper discusses how, under the leadership of Charles W. Eliot, the longtime president of Harvard University, the Eliot team changed school programs. The paper concludes that for decades educators have looked for answers to what causes alarming drop out rates. The paper deals with the many facets and argues the idea that secondary education should be a preparation for college and only secondarily a preparation for life.
From the Paper
"Returning to the subject at hand, how the ideas of the Eliot team change schools at the time the committee report was published. The answer is that the ensuing curricular changes developed upon the idea that a well rounded education involved learning abstract concepts, to achieve success in further education, rather than in vocational or practical application standards. The committee's report spurned educators to step away from the demands of the day, to educate individuals for vocation and placed curriculum squarely back in the hands of academic pursuit. Which left those who sought a more practical means to drop out of school, as it was not seen as neccesasary to anything but further education, and seek employment training that would better suit their needs, the exact opposite of the intentions of many educators."

Abstract
This paper describes the fraudulent activities of Charles Ponzi, with particular emphasis on his Boston-based postal coupon enterprise. The paper briefly provides some biographical information on Ponzi and then explains his postal coupon scheme, which was the forerunner of the modern-day pyramid scheme. The paper further describes the criminal procedures brought against Ponzi after being arrested and charged for mail fraud, the time he served in prison after he was found guilty at his trial and his involvement in a land scheme operation after his release from jail. Next, the paper discusses Ponzi's deportation to Italy, his travels to Brazil and his exploits there as well as his death in a charity ward in a Rio de Janeiro hospital. Finally, the paper discusses, in further detail, the criminal and civil charges brought against Ponzi for his illegal activities and describes some of the legal sanctioning mechanisms that were a direct result of the Ponzi fiasco.
From the Paper
"In the summer of 1920, most investors on the East Coast knew of Charles W. Ponzi and his Boston-based postal coupon enterprise. Ponzi invented a phony investment plan and promised investors enormous profits. He lived up to this promise initially. The first investors spread the news about this great deal and new money came pouring in. However, by October of the same year, the shady investment entrepreneur was indicted on multiple fraud counts, and the simplicity and grand scale of his scheme linked Ponzi's name with a particular form of fraud: "Ponzi scheme." Still, before Charles Ponzi's investment scheme faltered, he had collected $9,500,000 from 10,000 investors by selling promissory notes paying "fifty percent profit in forty-five days." "

"Soldiers of Destruction" by Charles W Sydnor Jr, 1994.
An analysis of the development, purpose and evolving function of Hitler's elite and powerful SS Death's Head (Totenkopf) Division.

From the Paper
"This study will examine the development of the Hitler's SS Death's Head (Totenkopf) Division, as described in Soldiers of Destruction, by Charles W. Sydnor, Jr. The study will consider the reasons for the growth of the SSTK and what such development tells us about the nature of National Socialism. The greatest enemy of the Nazis, at least in Europe, was Russia, and it was inevitable that the SSTK, as one of the essential ingredients in National Socialism, would find its ultimate purpose in the war on the eastern front with Stalin. As the war moved toward that final confrontation with Russia, the importance of the SSTK inevitably grew, leading to the development and expansion of the elite, powerful and ruthless Division.
Sydnor makes clear that he believes the SSTK were an essential part of the rise of National Socialism under Hitler and..."

Gothic Architecture and Renaissance Architecture, 2005.
A comparative analysis of Gothic and Renaissance architecture.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares Gothic architecture and Renaissance architecture, showing the change that came over architecture with the shift from the more massive and decorated style of the Gothic to the cleaner classical lines of the Renaissance, a period which also borrowed from the Moslem style to make new use of the dome, as in religious buildings by Brunelleschi.
From the Paper
"Gothic architecture developed from the Romanesque style and emerged in the twelfth century. It prevailed until the Renaissance beginning in the fifteenth century. Gothic architecture was marked by size and elaborate decorations. However, Gothic architecture was first defined in terms of a change in Romanesque church architecture diagonal ribs were added to the groin-vault, as was first seen at the Abbey Church of St. Denis near Paris (Frankl 1). In part because of its origins, Gothic architecture has long been associated with France and is considered a French style, though in fact, others used it as well. Gothic architecture is probably represented for many people by Notre-Dame de Paris, a facade known from countless stories and other representations as well as for itself. "

Abstract
This paper explains that Lorrie Moore expertly uses her humor to provide readers with an in-depth look at character identity. The author points out that Moore is mostly known for her short stories, which rely on a clever play of words, irony and sardonic black humor that normally hides the characters' underlying sorrow or traumatic experiences. The paper concludes that one of the most remarkable things about Moore's style is the total lack of melodrama. This paper includes many quotations.

From the Paper
"However, under the laughs and guffaws in "How to Be a Writer" is the woman who is attempting to be taken seriously as an author and make her way in an occupation that is treacherous at best and deadly at worst. As all writers do, Francie begins to look at her own abilities. Here Moore once again shows the underlying search for identity. Francie begins to doubt her own worth as a writer: "Begin to wonder what you do write about. Or if you have anything to say. Or if there is even such a thing as a thing to say. Limit these thoughts to no more than ten...""

He later worked in Chatham and Charles the second of seven children went to the local school. John Dickens found it hard to afford for his growing family with his scanty income. In 1822, the family shifted to Camden Town in London. John Dickens unpaid sum had become so huge that all the household goods were sold. As he was not able to convince his creditors, he was arrested and sent to Marshalsea Prison. Charles found work at Warren's Blacking Factory at the age of twelve and he was paid six shillings a week for covering shoe black bottles. Six months after John was sent to prison, one of his relatives died leaving behind a large sum of money. John used this money to pay off his debts and he left the prison. Some money he used for educating Charles in a nearby private school, Wellington House Academy."

Abstract
This paper uses Michael Moore's documentary film, "Fahrenheit 9/11" to discuss the theories of Max Weber, Emile Durkheim and Karl Marx. The paper discusses Moore's portrayal of President George W. Bush and his response to 9/11 and contends that Weber's theories are the most relevant ones to the film since they can best be applied to Moore's central concept in the film.
From the Paper
"Michael Moore's film, "Fahrenheit 9/11", has been described as an attempt on the part of the filmmaker to unseat a president. The film stresses what Moore saw as President George W. Bush's ineptitude in responding to the September 11th terrorist attack against the United States. As film critic John Petrakis puts it, Moore portrays the president as village idiot, a man who is in so far over his head that his only recourse is to take vacation after vacation, leaving the day-to-day running of the office..."

Charles V and Murad III, 2007.
A comparison of the reigns of Charles V and Murad III.
3,078 words (approx. 12.3 pages), 15 sources, APA, $ 90.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the reigns of Charles V, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire to that of Murad III, ruler of the Ottoman empire. The author states that the men were vastly different from one another. But despite their differences, there are many similarities in the reigns of Charles V and Murad III, as both men were mediocre leaders who achieved limited success in their roles. While both men certainly faced difficult circumstances during their rules, the paper describes them as also helping to orchestrate their own failings through personal weaknesses and poor decisions. The author concludes that Charles V and Murad III had similar results: both men left their empires weaker then they found them, and both men helped initiate or expand the process by which their empires decayed.
Outline:
Military Miscues
Unwise Policy Decisions
Underappreciated Threats
Worse than They Found It
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Murad III, quite similarly, was challenged by internal and external forces, which largely went unchecked as he withdrew from affairs of state. Internally, he faced dissatisfaction publicly and within his inner circle as his harem exerted significant influence over political decisions. Further, his unwise monetary policy led to a revolt among his soldiers. Externally, the growth of the Ottoman Empire dove into stagnation during his rule, and the once-invincible military showed weakness during its conflicts with Persia and Austria."

Abstract
This paper discusses how, out of many scientists during the 19th century, Charles Darwin greatly challenged the status quo with his revolutionary theories of evolution and natural selection. It looks at how,, after a humble start, Charles Robert Darwin rose to challenge the status quo with his revolutionary theories and how many of his most controversial theories ended up by replacing the commonly accepted ideas of the time and are now accepted as simple facts of life. It shows how without the hard work and research of Darwin, we would still be unaware of the reasons why different people and different generations have certain features, and,most importantly, where we, as a human race, come from.
From the Paper
"Darwin was more comfortable at Cambridge than he was at Edinburgh. Author Janet Browne claims, ?Darwin came to feel at home, relaxed and confident among people mostly from the same kind of background as himself ? people with similar professional aspirations and familiar, if conventional, social graces?(91). Darwin spent his first year at Cambridge uneventfully, but over the summer, he began to regret missing out on the ?college experience?. During his second year at Cambridge, Charles had a rather hard time settling in and started heading for failure, but he managed to pull himself back up in the third year and save his degree. A reputable author describes Darwin?s last few weeks at school: ?Darwin?s final examinations were scheduled for January 1831. Study and anxiety made him miserable for weeks beforehand, but when the results were posted, he ranked 10th in a class of 178? (Stefoff 39)."
