Abstract
This paper explains that Beth Cuthand's "Post-Oka Kinda Woman"
appears to be about the rather insignificant-looking action of a Native woman walking down the street; however, the subject is really the issue of the Oka crisis, which began on March 11, 1990 and lasted until September 26, 1990. The author points out that, through its prosody, tone, characterization and diction, this poem challenges preconceived notions about Native people. The paper concludes that Cuthand's poem disputes the idea that the Oka crisis is not really over and suggests that the Mohawk nation will continue to fight for their rights over the land.
From the Paper
"Prosody in "Post-Oka Kinda Woman" mixes feet within the poem. By not employing 'perfect' metre with every line doing da-dum or dum-da, the metre Cuthand chose reflects the meaning, mood and emotional colour of the words and images. Line one begins with tetrameter, line while two switches to pentameter and line three has hexameter. The changing metre slows down the reader by line three, emphasizing the importance of the words, "victimization, reparation". Although lines four to six ease in the metre by changing to pentameter, line three slows the reader down."

Abstract
Beth Henley's plays "Crimes of the Heart" and "Miss Firecracker" both very much reveal the theme of how humor can camouflage human suffering and tragedy. "Crimes of the Heart" examines the plight of three young women who are betrayed by their passions. Each woman suffers a certain tragedy in her own life, which is directly related to a certain form of mental sickness, yet at the same time a certain humorous angle exists in that life. The same can be said about "Miss Firecracker," as the main actor appears to be a humorous caricature of her very self.

Abstract
This paper briefly chronicles the background, impact in the field of nursing, contributions and professional associations of Beth Vaughan-Wrobel, a leading member in the field of nursing education and advocacy. The paper discusses how she has emerged as a pioneering thinker in the field of geriatric nursing. The paper highlights how she is well aware that the nursing profession is likely to have to meet the demands of geriatric patients at an even greater number in the future. Vaughan-Wrobel's suggestions for better trained, at-home caregivers would be a way to alleviate some of the profession's burdens, as well as ease the situation of the family members of the patient.
From the Paper
"In all the fields where she has excelled, Vaughan-Wrobel continues to have an impact upon the ways geriatric patients are perceived and cared for, and the ways that students are prepared to meet the ever-changing future of nursing. She has not only made critical thinking skills an important part of nursing education. She has also called upon society to see the aging process itself as an education, and demanded reforms in the ways that the caretakers who help ease the transition of adults into the next spheres of their lives will be prepared to meet the challenges that face them in the future."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Beth Loffreda's book, "Losing Matt Shepard". The paper discusses the media's role in the prejudiced feelings toward Matt Shepard, a gay student, following his murder. It then discusses how people across America responded to his murder and how the media's publicity of the murder contributed to this response. The paper briefly discusses gay rights at the time of the incident, in 1988 in the United States.
From the Paper
"Uncovers how the residents of Laramie responded when Matt Shepard, a young gay student at the University of Wyoming, was brutally beaten and left to die by the side of the road in the fall of 1988. Loffreda's project investigates the media's manipulative role in publicizing the murder and how intense scrutiny transforms a usually quaint, subdued community into a hate crime capital. Eschewing the stereotypes and platitudes fed us by the media, Beth Loffreda interviews a wide range of the so-called ordinary people in Laramie and uncovers a wide array of complexities and prejudices."

From the Paper
"Three authors present characters who are disturbed, whose disturbance has a particular effect on friends and family, and whose problems are addressed in different ways by the authors. Tennessee Williams creates a memorable character in Blanche DuBois, the genteel Southern lady whose sexual obsessions are followed by her in a world of illusions by which she maintains some sense of self. She comes up against harsh reality in the form of her sister's husband, Stanley Kowalski. Lila Wingo is the mother of the suicidal patient in Pat Conroy's novel Prince of Tides, and she has her illusions as well. She is a source of distress not only for her daughter but for her son, Tom--daughter and son are twins. Beth Jarrett in Judith Guest's novel Ordinary People is a third woman who uses illusions to protect herself from the outside world and from the reality that would destroy..."

Abstract
This paper offers a detailed description of a personal experience of conflict in the workplace. The paper then analyzes that conflict situation in terms of Beth Roy's five domains of power.
From the Paper
"Looking back on the conflict that I earlier described as being between John and James within the context of my one-time place of employ, a number of things occur to me. I am struck by my own limited active role in the debate, that is to say that I had no active role in the conflict. I am also struck by the rapidity of the escalation of the debate. A minor conflict between two employees, with its roots in a parking dispute, erupted into an argumentative conflict that quickly consumed the very large staff of the place where I worked. Mostly, though, it strikes me just how ineffective the management was in defusing the situation and how the manager's poor use of his de facto power in the situation actually made matters worse instead of calming the situation. This reflection will examine some of these points of..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Salem witchcraft trials that occurred in the 17th century. The paper reviews two literary works on this topic, "The Devil in the Shape of a Woman", by Carol Karlsen, and "In the Devil's Snare", by Mary Beth Norton. The paper compares these two books and explains the different approaches taken to the witchcraft trials.
From the Paper
"Salem witchcraft is probably the most fascinating and most talked about subject in the history of the world. How people were accused of being witches and wizards, the trials that ensued, the baseless charges that were made and the hysteria that had gripped Salem in the 17th century have fascinated historians around the globe and most prominently in the United States and Europe and endless researches have been conducted so far. These researches focus on the one troubling question: what gave rise to the witchcraft hysteria and paranoia? Some people it was the simply the invasion of new changes in social values and beliefs that resulted in these tragic events where many were hanged and numerous others were sent to prison. Some believe that the fact that most women in those days were confined to their houses where depressive conditions had had a negative impact on their psyches and teenage girls began accusing older women of witchcraft. However it appears that this debate will never end, at least not in the near future since new books are still coming out with unique perspectives on the issue."
