Abstract
This paper explains that there are many different styles of writings which are developed from the author's appropriate word choice, varied rhythm, effective placement and choice of modifiers, appropriate transitions, effective and creative use of punctuation, variation of sentence length and a logical hierarchical placement of detail. The author examines the style of V.C Andrews by using a paragraph from her books "Flower's in the Attic", "Heaven" and "My Sweet Audrina". The paper relates that, while Andrews was alive, she only finished six books but her family hired a ghost writer by the name of Andrew Neiderman. However, the author feels that there is a difference between her writing style and that of her ghost.

From the Paper
"Yes, I do believe his work is very good. He can still see feel the anguish of what they are going through. But I don't think his writings are as dramatic as Andrews. He doesn't use the every day language and modifiers as she does. I think in a way they do portray the same things. For example, all of the main characters want to be happy, instead it takes a long time for that to happen. And in the process, several of the other character's are destroyed, with no intent on the main character. Something always happens to the one who is terrifying the main character."

" In their book Faculty of Color in Academe, Caroline Sotello Viernes Turner and Samuel L. Myers Jr. address the ongoing shortage of teachers of color in the colleges and universities of this country. The authors rightly note at the outset that as America approaches the 21st century, the racial divide and problems of the 20th century continue to be a problem. There have been numerous efforts to correct the disparity seen between the number of white professors and the number of professors of color, but these have been insufficient. Part of the issue raised by this book is why this is so. The book analyzes comprehensive studies of African American, Asian Pacific American, American Indian, and Latino faculty in eight Midwestern states--Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Missouri, and Minnesota. The authors raise interesting issues..."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of the C and C++ programming languages. Specifically, it discusses some common applications of the language. C, and its derivative, C++, two of the most commonly-used programming languages in the world. They are versatile, easy to work with, and help the programmer create complicated yet functional programs for the end-user.
From the Paper
"The C programming language was developed for large-scale applications, and it is still used extensively in the UNIX environment. It is also heavily utilized in computer games. Initially, C was developed to program and organize the UNIX operating system in the 1970s. As the language evolved, it was used (and still is used) extensively to program personal computers (PCs), and develop programs for them. Originally, C was developed for use in applications that had little space for memory. C uses very little memory, and so it was perfect for these applications. As one expert writes about the language, "Yet it was designed to allow programmers to do heavy-duty 'systems' programming, working on such basic software plumbing as operating systems, compilers, and the like" (Lohr 79). Many experts have compared C to FORTRAN, because it opened up a whole wealth of applications in higher-level languages. FORTRAN gave the programmer the opportunity to program larger machines with bigger programs, especially in engineering and scientific applications."

'Joseph Andrews' and the Importance of Lady Booby, 2006.
A review of the book 'Joseph Andrews'.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the history of the story of Joseph Andrews, which is important to the text as a whole as it provides a focus on the context of one episode of the story with greater detail. 'Joseph Andrews' was written by Fielding as a response to the Samuel Richardson novel 'Pamela'. Within the Richardson novel, the character of Pamela was a housemaid that had endured advancements of her master that were unwarranted. The character insisted on being treated with respect because of her virtue and ultimately was capable of achieving that end. The paper further discusses how when Fielding composed 'Joseph Andrews' he created the title character that was the brother of Pamela, and that was forced to withstand many of the same issues within his life that his "sister" had experienced. The advances of women in Andrews' case are created by Fielding with a comic sense that reappears again in the storyline.

Abstract
In "Joseph Andrews", Henry Fielding offers a satiric description of the society he lives in. This paper describes the different aspects of English society seen from Fielding's eyes. It looks at how the narrator, through the adventures of Joseph Andrews and Abraham Adams, gives a description of eighteenth century English society and its habits with its strong belief in appearances, wealth and power. It also discusses how the protagonists enter this world with their prejudices of charity and kindness and how their innocence and virtue do not predispose them to face a rough, materialist and individualist society.

From the Paper
"The impact of appearance is also greatly demonstrated in the Lady's story in book I chapter 4. The history of Leonora is significant of the omnipotence of physicality in society. Leonora is said to have all that she could desire - fortune, a devoted lover - and she throw it all away for appearances. The apparition of the coach and six is eye-catching and Bellarmine's dress in a French fashion can but attract her passion. The minute description of his clothes - his "cut-velvet coat of a cinnamon colour", with "a pink satten", "gold" - shows the attractiveness of the man and the good reputation that follows him - certainly everywhere. Then, although Leonora had refused to dance with any of the men, she accepts to dance with Bellarmine and actually falls in love with him. But the brightness of these clothes hides the darkness of his heart and the man Leonora thought to be a gentleman finally flies away. "

Abstract
This paper, which focuses primarily on how Henry Fielding depicts English society in the 18th century in his novel "Joseph Andrews", is broken up into four parts, beginning with a look at the author and the context of the book - political, social and religious. The second part of the book has to do with Joseph Andrews in relation to other texts of the period. The third part is entirely focused on Fielding's moral society and the fourth takes into consideration the problem of language as related to society.
Author and Society: Reading Beyond the Text
The Prism or the Mirror: Depicting 18th Century Society
Fielding's Moral Society
Language and Society
From the Paper
"Joseph Andrews not only provides a broad panorama of 18th-century English society but it also reveals the specific viewpoint and personal involvement of its author. It is often said that what prompted its writing was a reaction of "amused exasperation" at the astounding Pamela fashion. This is certainly true but the circumstances of the composition of Joseph Andrews are more complex and reach further back in time. The issues, people, and events affecting the author's private, social and intellectual life during the period moulded his vision of reality into a broader outlook that was to influence his literary taste. It would become proper to the majority of his writings. For example, Fielding's pronouncements on political, religious, or social matters would often be inspired by his own involvement in party politics, by his allegiance to some Latitudinarian or other and even by hopes of personal reward. Fielding and his characters refer to a host of actual people of every possible description - highwaymen, freethinkers, preachers, playwrights, poets, actors, and peers. Those are people the author might have met, or heard of, or read. They are the people he opposed, condemned, hated, defended, approved of, or loved. To understand how English society is represented in Joseph Andrews, it is crucial to read beyond the text in order to find the reasons for the author's attitude."

'Joseph Andrews', 2002.
A review of the novel ?Joseph Andrews? by Henry Fielding with an emphasis on morality and ethics.

Abstract
This paper looks into the subject of morality and ethics as depicted by Henry Fielding in his novel ?Joseph Andrews?. The book seeks to discard the notions held by 18th century English society in connection with morality and thus offers a better and ?more active? definition of the term. According to Fielding, morality was not solely connected with chastity and thus he highlights the importance of charity for attainment of ?honor? and ?respect?. The paper objectively discusses the strengths and weaknesses of Fielding?s views in connection with this subject and shows how the author conveyed his message through adept characterization.
From the Paper
"When reading ?Joseph Andrews?, one needs to be very careful in order to be able to fully comprehend the messages, which exist between the lines and are not exactly put forth in obvious terms. In this book, which Henry Fielding described as an epic written in prose form, we find the plot and structure very similar to Greek and other ancient heroic tales with the only difference being that in this novel, the author has tried to dispel the notion that morality is strictly connected with chastity and religion. This is a very interesting highlight of Fielding?s work, and one that made his writings stand out among heap of similar literary work during the Eighteenth century. In order to understand clearly what happens in Joseph Andrews and how characters represent morality or lack of it, it is important to first have some background information regarding the description of morality in the early Eighteenth century."

Mark Antony (83 B.C. - 30 B.C.), 2006.

Abstract
This paper reviews the life and history of Mark Antony, born Marcus Antonius. The paper discusses how, thanks to the works of famous writers like Plutarch and Shakespeare, Mark Antony has become a legend. The paper further discusses how his actions following Julius Caesar's death in 44 B.C. and his exploits with Queen Cleopatra have made him interesting reading and a source of entertainment for centuries. However, behind the many stories, there was a man who was a brave general, loyal supporter, dedicated Roman and ardent lover.
From the Paper
"While Caesar was fighting in Egypt and Africa to defeat the last of Pompey's forces, Antonius was given the distinction of being made Master of the Horse (fact). His role was to be a politician and administrator in Italy while Caesar was out of the country. Unfortunately for him, Antonius was not good in that role and was removed in 47 B.C. and even banished from Caesar's sight for two years (unrv). Nevertheless, Antonius was able to work his way back into Caesar's circle; in 44 B.C. he was the one to offer the crown to Caesar, a circumstance much celebrated in the first act of Shakespeare's play, Julius Caesar (unrv)."

Life Events in "Moll Flanders", "Joseph Andrews", and "Pamela", 2000.
A look at the life events and their psychological impact in these novels by three different authors, Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, and Daniel Defoe.
1,353 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 6 sources, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"However, the emotional details in Moll?s private history are slightly skewed. The reader does not receive the same traditionalist perspective that is seen in Fielding?s work (but it is seen in Richardson?s Pamela). We do not have a third person point of view to keep us detached from the elements of the story. Thus, the reader gets out of place details like the Devil voice goading Moll to commit horrible acts; ?Here I say that the Devil put me upon killing the child in the dark Alley?but the thought frightened me so I was ready to drop down??(Defoe, 151) This is one instance that the private history shows the psychological impact of daily life, showing an auditory manifestation of a criminal persona. Also unlike Pamela and Joseph Andrews, the narrator is biased and wants to cast herself in the most favorable perspective. As the case with the captain, she talked the reader into believing that, ?..he had foreclosed all manner of objection?he had declared he took me without any regard to my Portion?weather I was in jest or earnest. I had him fast both ways?yet he could never say that I had cheated him.? (p.64) "

Abstract
This paper critiques Andrew Lam's article, "Too Much Self-Esteem Can Be Bad for Your Child", which presents one aspect of contemporary culture and American education, and uses a personal story drawn from the very trendy YouTube phenomenon. The author of the paper argues that while there is some substance to the argument against placing self-esteem above real achievements, Lam's article as written uses very limited source data and uses this data to make a hasty generalization without dealing with any opposing or alternative data that might present a contrary case.
From the Paper
"Following the two studies, Lam devotes the remainder of his article to an elucidation of his subjective opinions about the success of Asian students in American colleges, and about their recent dominance on certain campuses in the University of California system. While his opinions may be worthy of exploration and discussion, they do not logically arise from the limited data he has brought forth up till now. He appears to be biased in favor of "Asian" students, although he simultaneously seems to be reinforcing positive stereotypes about them, as well as over-generalizing by failing either to distinguish between different Asian nationalities and cultures (of which there are many) or between different non-Asian nationalities and cultures. Also left unanswered is why so many successful, intelligent Asian students are leaving their home nations to study in the United States, when one must presume that their own nations' universities must be at least on a par with those in the West, if not superior."

From the Paper
"Dietrich Mateschitz originally came up with the idea for his energy beverage in 1984, after traveling to Asia and discovering the popularity of energy drinks in some areas (A new market, 2007). Mateschitz brought several samples back to Austria and after three long years developed his own version involving both medical research and scientific testing (Brunnen, 2007).
"It was "this period (that) saw the birth of the product positioning 'Red Bull vitalizes body and mind' and the unique slogan 'Red Bull gives you wiings!'" (A new market, 2007). First launched in Austria, in 1992, it was then quickly rolled out throughout most of Europe. This was then followed by North and South America, Africa and then Australia. By 2002, more than one billion cans were being sold annually (Brunnen, 2007)"

Abstract
This paper discusses how the Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969) case has been an active and major precedent that sets the standard for cases that relate to, or fall under the protection of freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. This paper examines such cases and focuses on one case that did not fall under its protection: Rice v. Paladin Enterprises (1997), also known as "The Hit Man" case. This paper concentrates on what distinguished both these cases from each other in order to make one fall under the protection of freedom of speech of the First Amendment and the other not.
From the Paper
"On October 26th 1984 a 19 year- old boy named John Mc Collum shot himself and died while he was listening to the recorded song of the rock singer Ozzy Osbourne. He was found dead with the headphones still on and had been listening to the lyrics of the song called "Suicide Solution" which followed:
"Ah know people
You really know where it's at
You got it
Why try, why try
Get the gun and try it
Shoot, shoot, shoot" (as cited in Mc Collum v. CBS Inc., 1988)
The family of the boy sued CBS Records and Ozzy Osbourne holding them responsible for the suicide; the Superior Court of Los Angeles County dismissed the case. The Court of Appeal affirmed."

Andrew Carnegie, 2002.

Abstract
This paper details the life of one of the most influential businessmen in U.S. history, Andrew Carnegie. Carnegie's legacy includes many philanthropic endowments which set the tone for his day, but he is also remembered as being one of the greatest robber barons of his day who controlled the giant steel industry. According to this author, Carnegie was an complex individual, who vocally supported unions in public, but in private did everything in his power to stem their power in his many different factories. It is ironic that, in the late 1800s, the first union in America was formed in one of Carnegie's plants and his actions would lead to one of the most violent strikes in history. The resolution of this strike was the reason the introduction of government regulations involving collective bargaining arrangements in labor disputes that still exist today. The author cites several examples where Carnegie's actions did not match his deeds and only served to fuel the fires of discontent among the union members. The author also discusses how despite the fact that many businessmen, like Carnegie supported the concept of monopolies, by the beginning of the twentieth century, things had begun to change.
According to this author, the unions were drawing attention to the worker's needs and rights and as a result, the government began to develop new regulations for businesses which lead to the eventual demise of monopolies. The author concludes with several comments about how Carnegie eventually came to publically acknowledge that the labor unions and shared wealth were a better option for the country.
From the Paper
"Carnegie had created his business empire upon the simple concept that a monopoly is, for the monopolist, the most efficient way to do business. Without competition, the owner can create the most efficient production and delivery system he can without wasting time and money negotiating and competing with others. This was the precept of Carnegie and those like him ? the nation is better off with monopolies. But, the workers, the masses of thousands and millions who filled the factories and mined the ore, who broke their backs and their families for virtually no money, these were the people who brought the reality of the monopoly to the attention of the government. It was the union, and its ability to bring a large voice in the form of unification that could speak as loud as that of the one person at the head of the company. Unions, then, brought about an equalization."
