Abstract
This paper discusses globalization as a process that increases tge integration of economies of countries through trade and financial flows and that involves the movement of people and knowledge across borders. The paper maintains that some of the aspects of globalization are good and some are bad. The paper then relates that some of the positive aspects are the spread of culture and ideas, the break down of the language barriers, and the reduced risk of armed conflict. In contrast, some negative aspects of globalization are the exploitation of labor, eroding and corruption of local governments and the destruction of the environment. The paper concludes that it is too early to judge the outcome of Globalization. When developing nations reach the level the U.S is at right now we will hopefully all benefit from the process of globalization
From the Paper
"The spreading of cultures and ideas are positive aspects of Globalization. The spread of culture will allow nations to understand each other better .This will then lead to a reduction in cultural conflicts Culture is spread though food, music, movies and other mediums. Because the United States is such a driving force behind globalization, it is spreading its culture through almost every medium possible. The songs and movies produced in the United States are often reflective of U.S and western Culture. Therefore, they help spread the ideal and values of Capitalism and Democracy."

From the Paper
"A current popular Ford Motor Company ad, shown often on late-night television and talk shows, of a red Ford Mustang twirling round and round inside what looks like the inside of an automobile show room (but with no visible walls or other boundaries). This commercial then cuts, near the end, to a simple view of the open road, and, implicitly, the Mustang driver's-eye-view of it. The road is ready for the Mustang: the road is open and free; the big powerful red car is ready to take command of it! Message: the Ford Mustang (and by association, its owner/driver) is the center of attention; its owner will have no boundaries to worry about; he or she (probably he) will be able to go anywhere; occupy any space; "own" the road."

Dickinson's Place in New England Literary Tradition, 2005.
A discussion on Emily Dickinson's place in the literary tradition of the New England region.
2,479 words (approx. 9.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at why it is difficult to place the writings of Emily Dickinson in a specific literary tradition and what factors make this placement difficult. The paper considers why Dickinson was so introverted, what in her life and writing should be used to connect her to a literary tradition, and to whom should the connection be drawn.
From the Paper
"Dickinson's outright rejection of everything conventional rang with the same notes as the crescendo of feminism that was building among middle class women in the 1850s. She refused to subjugate herself to the institution of marriage, she battled pressure to join the church, and she corresponded openly with notable figures of academia. It is certain that the feminist movement would have greatly appreciated, and benefited from Dickinson's voice. Her education and natural boldness made her prime feminist material. The match, however, never grew any more potent than those conveniences. Thought she sought to achieve greatness, Dickinson's reclusive nature would have prevented her from being interested in participating in movements of that nature. In fact, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that Dickinson had no particular loyalty to her sex."

Literary Realism and Poverty, 2008.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines Chapter XLV of Theodore Dreiser's "Sister Carrie" and describes the literary realism that depicts how the character of Hurstwood must survive the grim reality of poverty in the city. The paper also looks at Hamlin Garland's short story "Under The Lion's Paw" from his work "Main Travelled Roads", which uses literary realism to reveal the grim reality of farm life.
From the Paper
"The first reason why literary realism exists in the work of garland's "Under the Lion's Paw" is the way that he defines the life of farmer's, and the often brutal conditions that they must work within as poor workers of the land. The reality of the farmer's life is apparent in Mrs. Council's narrative:
""Yes, I do my own work," Mrs. Council was heard to say in the pause which followed. "I'm getting purty heavy t' be on m'laigs all day, but we can't afford t'hire (Garland, p.491)."

Abstract
This essay outlines the experience of cross gendered people in both India and the West and discusses liminal aspects of cross gendered experience. The paper begins with a history of the separation of ?gender? and ?sex?, which occurred in the latter half of the twentieth century. The use of the term ?gender? as a reference for the social aspects of sex identity first occurred in the context of clinical research on intersexuality (hermaphroditism) in the 1950?s. The paper then explores the issues of transgender and cross-gender in today's times, specifically focussing on India as compared to the West. The paper explains that sex and gender are currently being redefined by feminist scholars with challenges to the 'universal' sex/gender binary through cross-cultural analysis.
From the Paper
"One of the most dynamic and relevant areas in anthropology today is the field of sex and gender in anthropology, with feminist scholars redefining Western, and anthropological, sex/gender ?norms? through cross-cultural analysis. ?The possibility of having more than two genders was opened up by divorcing gender from sexual morphology and by associating gender rather, indeed primarily, with social role and labour tasks? (Ramet 1996: 2). While concepts of universal, male:female, sexual binaries are being called into question, cross-cultural evidence and anthropological theories are being employed in entirely new ways."

Puritan and Romantic Literary Consciousness, 2004.
An analysis of Puritan and Romantic literary consciousness.
707 words (approx. 2.8 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 25.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Puritan and Romantic literary consciousness and explores various literary works. The paper contends that the Romantic and American Transcendentalist ideal is clearly embodied, not only in this excerpt from Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay, "Nature," but also by the life and teaching of the instructor portrayed by Robin Williams in the film, "Dead Poet's Society."
From the Paper
"The ideals of Romanticism suggested that the human animal must mature emotionally as well as intellectually, to reach his or her own artistic potential, and the best way to do this was to do so in nature. In nature, Emerson wrote, one is filled with the innocent love of spontaneous experience, much like a child. But this childlike innocence can also catch the eye of the 'powers that be' or the orthodox leadership of opinion in a very negative, as opposed to a positive way. Because the Romantic teacher does not teach the curriculum as required, and because he integrates immediate, bodily, and visceral experience into the teaching of poetry and literature, the guru figure portrayed by Williams is symbolically cast out of the fold of the scholarly halls and into the harsh, cruel world where he is not allowed to practice his pedagogical vocation."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows how the literary response during the early days of technology and the computer was mixed. Many sources feared that communication skills and literary skills would be lost as a result of technology. The paper looks at several articles and points of view in which the writers predicted opinions which ranged from unforeseen disasters, to great successes, as a result of the technology revolution.
From the Paper
"Communication is a key element of our society and the ways that we communicate in the information age has become a challenge in the 21st century. During the early days of technology and the computer most people wondered what would encompass being ?literary ? in the information age. How would we take the old ritual of literary culture and transform that skill into the bits of data and information that characterize the information age. Tracy Kidder?s book, The Soul of a New Machine provides a glimpse into the world of early technology. Kidder provides an account of the work done by a group of Data General engineers who are creating a new innovative computer. The book chronicles the project throughout the course of a year and examines the changes that take place in the lives of the team during various phases of the project."

Abstract
This article discusses two works containing either African or African-American themes, Aphra Behn's novel 'Oroonoko: or The Royal Slave' (1633) and Zora Neale Hurston's essay "How It Feels to be Colored Me" (1928). The writer notes that when compared against one another, they reveal considerable differences in the perspectives of their authors: In the first case, a 17th century white Englishwoman; and in the second, a late 19th and early 20th century African-American woman folklorist descended from slaves. In this essay, using African American and ethnic literary analysis of both works, the writer explores and analyzes similarities and distinctions in the ways that both authors deal with the subjects of American or African-American identity and black-white relationships, within their respective literary works.
From the Paper
"Other key characters in the novel, again drawn from an obviously white European narrative perspective, include Oroonoko's treacherous grandfather the King of the tribe, who also lusts after his grandson's love interest Imoinda, thereby reinforcing two familiar African stereotypes: overweening lust and inter-tribal rivalry and treachery, even against one's own flesh and blood. Within Aphra Behn's portrait of the African environment inhabited at first by Oroonoko and Imoinda, then, family ties are brittle, and being sold into slavery is, by implication, less heart-rending than it might be for those with stronger family ties."

Literary Nationalism, 2002.
An examination of the debate over American literary nationalism which began in the early nineteenth century.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay examines the main issues that were involved in the contentious debate over American literary nationalism at the beginning of the 19th century in the United States. The English critic Sidney Smith?s biting comment ?Who reads an American book?? is discussed, in terms of how it continued, and helped perpetuate, the debate about American literary nationalism. Further, this essay outlines how Washington Irving?s tales in "The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon" helped to fulfill the need for a unique, American literature that was noted by the Englishman Sidney Smith.
From the Paper
"There were several main issues that fired the contentious debate over American literary nationalism at the beginning of the 19th century, in the United States. The debate surrounded the apparent inability of American authors to produce quality literature. Certainly, America had received its political independence from Britain long before the 19th century, but in terms of art and literature, America had failed to produce works that were equal (of better) in quality to those produced in Great Britain. Certainly, and most importantly, the major point of this debate was that there was no clearly unique style of American literature. Equally important was the perception that the American literature produced was inferior in quality to that produced by British authors (Early). Interestingly, this inability to produce quality literature was reflected in the lacklustre sense of American cultural identity. In Adventures in American Literature: Classic Edition, James Early suggests that a strong sense of American cultural identity needed to be rooted in a ?significant national literature?."
