Abstract
This paper discusses how in her short story "Aunt Moon's Young Man", Linda Hogan captures some of the deepest and most fascinating aspects of her Native American culture, which make up most of the symbolism of the text. In particular, it looks at how Hogan emphasizes the differences between the Indian and the white cultures, using the imagery of windows and mirrors.
From the Paper
"First of all, the mirror and the window are symbols of the domination exercised by the white culture through reflection, that is, through the construction of identities for the other. Thus, the characters in the story seem to be separated in two sets as well, Bess and Isaac as the preservers of tradition, both through their gestures and through the ways in which they live their lives, and the other members of the community as representatives of the mixed culture which emerged under the influence of the white people. When the men and women in the tribe condemn the relationship between Aunt Moon and Isaac they become symbols of the white culture, which usually attributes fixed identities and codes for behavior for every member of society."

Abstract
This paper explains that Linda Hogan draws on her Native American heritage as she tells a tale tinted by earthy memories of her youth in her short story "Aunt Moon's Young Man". The author points out that the plot itself is relatively simple: A dark, lean, full-blooded Indian, who comes to town on an autumn day just as the annual fair is about to begin excites the women with his exotic good looks as well as the fact that the man is "alive in his whole body." The paper relates that the cyclical character of nature brings reassurance that balance will prevail; this storyteller incorporates several cycles to represent this balance such as the story begins in the autumn and ends in the autumn - the annual fair anchors the narrative at both ends.
From the Paper
"Though Aunt Moon is obviously the central study in this story, the character of the narrator contributes to the sense of hope and renewal as well. We are told that "good Indian women" should not "learn too much from books" or "laugh too loud" or "look into the faces of men." Yet the storyteller is hopeful that she can escape such oppressive expectations. Her mother shares these great aspirations for her daughter, and college plans are made. However, with the advent of war and all the changes that it brings, the girl's education is postponed, though not ceded. She will work for a year or so in the city before returning to school, and this, too, speaks of future and hope. The cycles of nature are again invoked when the narrator's mother assures her that she's "sure as the night's going to fall" that all will work out well for her and her daughter."

"Posting flyers at schools and Mass targeted mailings at unsubscribed students can be used to further market the YPRC in order to supplement station purchases (which provide 97% of sales). Other mediums used in the past are phone orders and travel agents. Digital media such as the internet, traditional radio, satellite radio etc will also play a vital role in the marketing campaign. This would include search engine promotion of the Young Persons Railcard website, search engine optimization (SE0), article publication, banner ads, newsletters, email marketing, newsletters, radio ads, etc..

?Young Goodman Brown?, 2002.
A review of Nathaniel Hawthorne?s novel, ?Young Goodman Brown?.
2,257 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Nathaniel Hawthorne?s ?Young Goodman Brown? details the temptation and eventual disillusionment of a young Puritan man, who, when confronted with the massive possible hypocrisy of the community in which he lives, is unable to adapt successfully to a portrait of the world that does not live up to his romantic ideals. It looks at how Hawthorne weaves enough structural ambiguity into the story to make it unclear for both the reader and for Brown just what the actual reality is and how, at its conclusion, we are left to a realm of unknowns and suspicion as much as he is. It shows how, ultimately, the story of "Young Goodman Brown" is the story of a young man who, once his romantic ideals about the world are tested, lapses instead into a cynicism and frustration that represents the completely opposite end of the spectrum.
From the Paper
"Nathaniel Hawthorne?s Story ?Young Goodman Brown? opens with a brief exchange between Young Goodman Brown and his wife, Faith, whose very name points to an obvious symbolic dimension of her character in the story. We discover quickly in their exchange of dialogue that they are newlyweds, very much in love. Indeed, the fact that they are newly married, as well as the title of ?young? that precedes Goodman Brown?s name all inform us that the are both new to the world of independent experience, that the still possess many romantic illusions about life, and that they are generally inexperienced. Yet, at their otherwise sweet parting, there is a strangeness. Faith asks her husband not to depart on his unspecified errand and suggests that she has had some sort of premonition, a premonition that Young Goodman Brown himself seems to share."

The Moon Illusion, 2002.
A comprehensive discussion of the moon illusion, illustrating its scientific and philosophic implications.
3,302 words (approx. 13.2 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 94.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes the history of illusions and the effect they have had on the intellectual development of the western world. The paper discusses the roots of the problem of the moon allusion in philosophy and the crossover into psychology. An outline is presented of what the moon illusion is, illustrating the issues of size and distance of the moon. The paper provides some of the common responses to the moon allusion by people like Baird and Wagner, Kaufman and Rock, Parks, and Reed. The implications for both science and philosophy for the various outcomes achieved by the researchers are examined.
From the Paper
"Open up any philosophical text, from the elementary textbook, Does the Center Hold? by Donald Palmer to the Oxford History of Western Philosophy. The first entry in the book will be Socrates. Even as far back as that, and probably further back than that, people have been concerned with the problems of perception. Idealism, realism, skepticism. How do we know what we know when the world can change so frequently, so fast. If our senses sometimes deceive us, and they tend to deceive us often, how can we rely upon them to tell us about the outside world. Perhaps it was when these questions were first posed that the science of psychology was first born."

From the Paper
"In purely physical terms, young adulthood encompasses only minor physiological changes, compared to those that occur at puberty. People can experience additional modest gains in height and in muscle development from their late teens to their early twenties, but generally do not experience major physical changes until middle age. However, young adulthood is a period of profound psychosocial and cognitive developments. Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development builds on the work of Sigmund Freud. Like Freud, Erikson basis his theory on the idea that internal, biological factors largely determine one's personality. However, while Freud's theory stops at adolescence, Erikson's psychosocial stages continue into adulthood.
Erikson believed that a person's social and cultural surroundings had a strong influence on one's psycho-social development."

Shelley's Moon, 2002.
A short essay detailing the relationship of the moon motif in "Frankenstein" to author Mary Shelley's personal life.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the moon imagery in Shelley's novel and as it relates to her personal life. By associating these ideas of nature, society and man with their respective symbols of the moon, societal traits and the monster, Shelley connected the story of "Frankenstein" to her life. It shows how the moon is used to pinpoint important ideas of "Frankenstein" in relation to the popular opinions during Shelley?s time and to indicate her personal connection to characters in the story.
From the Paper
"The Romantic authors considered nature to be pure, void of corruption by society. Although society caused corruption, individuals, at birth, were also pure entities. These ideas existed before the Romantic era, delineated by John Locke during the late seventeenth century. Locke addressed a hypothetical situation: ?man in the state of nature.? He concluded that, before despoiled by society, man?s mind is a ?tabula rasa? or blank slate (Palmer 307). The monster, when he initially emerges from Frankenstein?s house, is the perfect embodiment of purity. When the monster discovers the moon, he exists in a world of indistinct chaos, feeling only ?light, hunger, and thirst, and darkness? (Shelley 88). The monster?s elemental existence is a reproduction of the ideas of man?s untainted state at birth."

Young Adult Catholics in America Today, 2005.
Examines how young Catholics in America identify with their faith and how they participate in traditional worship practices.

Abstract
When it comes to young adult Catholics in the United States, we see the entire spectrum. There are some who are Catholic in name only, take it as a given, and don't seek to know any more. They may go church but it isn't something that makes a difference or impact in their life. Then, there are those whose faith has become central in their lives. The paper shows that for many members of this generation, spirituality outranks the rules and practices of religion. For others, doctrine is set in stone and should be studied in depth. Still others are too busy to think in either of these ways as they are out in the world being the hands and feet of Christ. The paper shows that these young adults are not their parents, but they do not disregard what their parents have achieved for them as they set out to form their own history. This generation will not be afraid to take what it needs from religion and change what has become obsolete. The paper concludes that the current status of young adults Catholics in America is wide-ranging, but if anything, that should give hope to American Catholics because it means that their Church is becoming just as inclusive as the world "Catholic" implies.
From the Paper
"With a new education and their own identity as a generation, young adult Catholics in America today also have their own outlook on traditional practices. From the very public experiences of local parish involvement, to personal devotions, young Catholics are developing their own standards. America's young adult Catholics actually show a lower level of mass attendance than they did thirty years ago. This trend may be explained simply by feelings of indifference, but more likely is a result of a new concept of what it means to be Catholic. Many hold the belief that one can be a good Catholic, and have a substantial relationship with God, without being a part of customary practices within a parish."

"Disappearing Moon Cafe", 2008.
An analysis of Sky Lee's novel "Disappearing Moon Cafe".
2,310 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a critical look at Sky Lee's novel "Disappearing Moon Cafe", which chronicles the corrupted history of the Wong family and the deconstruction of traditional kinship formations. The paper posits that, in the novel, both young and old generations construct alternative definitions of "family" outside the confines of the conventional family structure comprised of mother, father, and children. These alternative structures deviate from the norm by involving individuals from different racial, social, and genealogical backgrounds, disrupting the homogeneous ideals that certain female family members would like to preserve. The paper also asserts that the story is about women who dominate Chinese family life and the influence they hold over the men. The paper concludes that, although there is a collapse of one family structure, many other diverse kinship unions emerge in its place and ensure the survival of a rich and varied Chinese-Canadian narrative.
From the Paper
"For all intents and purposes, Disappearing Moon Cafe is a story about the women who dominate Chinese family life and the influence they hold over the men's biographies. We get two conflicting messages - one that women are defined by their marriages and are mere "unidentified receptacles" (Lee 42), and one that empowers the women as "powerful...bone-crushing 'Iron Chink' machines" (Lee 227). It is therefore interesting that the beginning and the end of the novel is framed by the narrative of Wong Gwei Chang, the family patriarch."

From the Paper
"In addition, a number of states do not have a daily physical education requirement, and even in those that do, many children in physical education classes are not meeting the desired physical fitness goals. Finally, an increasing number of American children are engaging in sedentary activities such as television viewing and web "surfing," trends that are increasingly occupying significant amounts of children's free time (Dietz, 1990). There are a wide range of approaches to help reduce sports-related injuries in young athletes such as coaching education, parent education, proper equipment; in addition, the establishment of fundamental fitness abilities, including preparatory muscle conditioning as a preventative health measure should not be overlooked. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, up to 50 percent of all injuries sustained by children while playing organized sports are likely preventable (Smith, Andrish, & Micheli, 1993)."

Abstract
In this article, the writer firstly critically analyses the health and well being outcomes for young people leaving care; addressing the areas of mental health, physical and learning disabilities. Secondly a critical evaluation of both national and specific LAC focused health promotion strategies is discussed and the impact of these on the young person's journey through care is provided, with particular attention paid to young people affected by disability and mental health problems. Throughout the essay an awareness of oppressive and discriminatory practices is demonstrated.
From the Paper
"As mentioned earlier, mental health problems are very prominent in care leavers. Once a young person reaches 18 years of age, there are often problems with accessing adult services. Young people with mental health problems can find it very difficult when they become care leavers. Mental health issues are sometimes left undiagnosed in looked after young people as doctors and psychologists sometimes feel that they do not want to "label" young people. This could be because there is still a stigma attached to having a mental health issue. However, on the opposite side of this, if a mental health issue is not diagnosed then resources are not made available to the young people when they may need them in order to lead a full and health life. Another difficulty for care leavers who move on to adult services, is that they may forget appointments and no-one is there to remind them or take them to appointments, this means that the young person is not receiving the care and support they may need."

Hawthorne?s ?Young Goodman Brown?, 2002.
Examines issues of truth, faith and hypocrisy in Nathaniel Hawthorne's story "Young Goodman Brown".

Abstract
Nathaniel Hawthorne?s short story ?Young Goodman Brown? is an allegorical account of a young man?s journey one dark night into the forest outside of Salem to meet with the Devil. The paper discusses how, after the night of his journey, Brown can never look at another person without seeing that individual?s hidden sin and hypocrisy and he loses his faith in religion, along with his faith in mankind. The paper focuses on the theme of truths in the novel, especially the one truth emphasized by Hawthorne, that every human, no matter how pious he or she claims to be, has not only the potential to be a sinner in thought and action, but also has committed some sort of sin.
From the Paper
"Oblivious to everything except man?s potential to sin, Brown becomes suspicious of every person with whom he comes into contact. He begins to see evil where none exists. Returning home from his journey the following morning, Brown observes Goody Cloyse catechizing a young girl of the village. Brown ?. . . [snatches] away the child, as from the grasp of the fiend himself? (128). At this moment, he forgets that Goody is the godly woman who once taught him his own catechism. From then on, Brown is ?a stern, a sad, a darkly meditative, a distrustful, if not a desperate man? and finds listening to the church congregation sing psalms, as well as hearing the minister preach, almost unbearable. Indeed, being in church causes him to ?turn pale, dreading, lest the roof should thunder down upon the gray blasphemer and his hearers? (129)."

Abstract
This paper briefly describes the functions of the moon. It looks at the magnetic forces and fields and how these impact the solar system. It also discusses the history of the development of knowledge that scientists have about the moon.
From the Paper
"The lunar crust is composed of a variety of primary elements, including uranium, thorium, potassium, oxygen, silicon, magnesium, iron, titanium, calcium, aluminum and hydrogen (Korotev, 2004). When bombarded by cosmic rays, each element bounces back into space its own radiation, in the form of gamma rays. Some elements, such as uranium, thorium and potassium, are radioactive and emit gamma rays on their own. However, regardless of what causes them, gamma rays for each element are all different from one another - each produces a unique spectral "signature", detectable by a spectrometer."

Man on the Moon, 2002.
A discussion of man's first walk on the moon by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses one of the most important and nation altering events to occur in the 1960s, the Apollo astronaut program, specifically, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren's successful walk on the moon on July 20, 1969. It analyzes how space flight stimulated the nation's growth in myriad ways. It looks at the many technological advances came from the Mercury and Apollo programs and beyond, from lightweight metal alloys to smaller and smaller computer guidance systems which eventually turned into desktop computers so extremely prevalent in the world today. It evaluates how if we had not gone to the moon, our lives today might be much different and so would many of our institutions. Space flight stimulated technological growth, national pride and the notion that we can still "reach for the stars."
From the Paper
"First came the Mercury project, where America put men in space. On May 5, 1961, Major Alan Shepard, a Naval academy graduate and test pilot, climbed aboard the Freedom 7 capsule atop a Redstone rocket and became the first American in space. Shepard?s flight was sub orbital and lasted only 15 minutes, but it showed America we could still be vital in the space race (which the Russians were winning at the moment), and it kindled spirit and passion in the minds of Americans. The Mercury program ran from 1958 to 1963, and satisfied all its objectives. The Gemini flights between 1965 and 1966 were designed to transition between the Mercury exercises and the Apollo moon missions. The Gemini flights were to teach us how maneuver a spacecraft by maneuvering it in orbit, rendezvousing in space, docking with other vehicles, perfecting methods of entering the atmosphere, and landing at a preselected point on land."
