Abstract
This paper examines how foreign trade and the exchange of goods would seem like a simple act at first, and how, in reality, there are many unforeseen circumstances that can arise during that transaction that can lead to the inability of the seller to provide the goods and the buyer to pay for those goods. It analyzes how this has led to an increasingly complex set of laws to help decide in what cases a party is entitled to recover the losses incurred from the inability to complete the transaction. It also shows how many of these laws are weighted toward the buyer and do little to protect the seller.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Negotiable bills may not be due at the time they are made. Instead they may have a maturity attached to them at some later date. The note may set forth penalties or other remedies if the bill is not paid according to the terms. Notes have been a source of disagreement in International trade as they customs of different countries vary. For instance, there may be a difference in observed holidays between two countries and this can lead to a misunderstanding about when a bill is due. There may also be differences in whether a bill can carry interest or on taxation purchases. As one can see there are many areas in which disagreements can arise from the negotiation of these forms of payment. These differences have led to the development of a series of treaties and agreements between trading partners and countries surrounding and standardizing the use of these instruments."

Email Privacy in the Workplace: Employee Beware!, 2008.
The paper discusses the question as to whether email sent by an employee from his work place can be considered private and as such protected from examination by his employer.

Abstract
The author of the paper examines the growing trend of email monitoring by employers of employees' electronic mail and the attitude of the courts in the United States to this phenomena. The writer looks at a number of court cases where employees challenged the right of their employer to monitor their email and other electronic communications basing their claims on the First Amendment to the US Constitution. The writer then discusses the rulings of the courts and how they impact on the rights of privacy of the individual in his workplace.
From the Paper
"It is clear that the current environment of the workplace is demonstrative of the statement "employee be wary." Utilizing your work email for private communications should be a very limited practice and the type of information you divulge in such email transmissions should also be limited. The employee should basically assume, regardless of the documentation or disclosure of an email monitoring policy, that they have no legal right to privacy with regard to email. The laws may change in the future, as more cases reach the courts that require the employer, more explicitly to make employees aware that they are being monitored but that is likely to be the only form of legal protection by the court, and it must also be noted that the courts have given the employer the benefit of the doubt even when the employee claims ignorance regarding email monitoring policies. (Rich NP) Some individuals have attacked firings, on the grounds of illicit use of a company computer as those that could be publicly destructive to their character, i.e. as torts, yet the success has been limited, as basically the court supposes that if you participate in something that is illegitimate then the fault lies with this action, rather than with the action of the employer in his or her attempt to limit such activity in their workplace. (Clochetti NP)"

The Changing Social Meanings of Fish, 2005.
A discussion of fish as a popular food source.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 4 sources, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines how, in the early 21st century, fish is one of the most popular varieties of food in the world, and cod fish is the king of fish in the food service industry in the Western world. The paper describes how fish is acclaimed for its prominent role in gourmet cuisine and praised by nutritionists for its myriad health benefits. The paper discusses how this was not always the case.
From the Paper
"I have had a great love of fish for most of my life; a love that reached an apogee upon my coming to Canada and discovering the incredible range of both salt and fresh water fish available to Canadians. Indeed, in the early 21st century fish is one of the most popular varieties of food around the globe, and cod fish is the "king of fish" in the foodservice industry in the Western world (Civin 129). Today fish is acclaimed for its prominent role in gourmet cuisine, and praised by nutritionists for its myriad health benefits."

Elizabeth Bishop?s ?The Fish?, 2004.
This paper analyzes the poem, ?The Fish?, by Elizabeth Bishop, a poet admired for her vivid, descriptive poetry.
1,045 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Bishop?s observation in ?The Fish? not only creates an image of the fish for the reader, but also expands the scope of the poet?s appreciation for the fish. The author points out that, in this narrative poem, Bishop uses rhetorical and sound devices, as well as tone, metaphor, symbolism, personification, simile, and imagery. The paper relates that her great attention to detail allows us to understand the fish as Bishop does and, as a result, to understand why she sets the fish free.
From the Paper
"These lines illustrate the poet?s ability to capture details about the simplest and smallest of things. The poet utilizes the technique of hyperbole here by stating that the fish?s eyes were bigger than her own were. Her intention is to make us sense the life she became aware of when she looked into the fish?s eyes, which ultimately makes her feel sympathy for the fish. The action of looking into the fish?s eyes is also powerful in that it allows the poet to personify the fish. We also discover the poet?s use of an apostrophe here, which is emphasized by the poet?s looking into the fish?s eyes."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Bishop's poem ?The Fish", about the sufferings and hardships that a creature like a fish has to endure throughout its life. The author discusses the theme of survival and how the poem focuses on the narrator?s feelings and thoughts about the endurance in life of the fish she has caught. The poetic elements are examined, including imagery, symbolism, similes and parallelism. The themes and roles of the primary characters are discussed.
From the Paper
"The succeeding lines have used imagery as its primary element in describing, and finally establishing, the physical characteristics of the fish. In fact, these lines have pored through every detail of the fish?s physical form, and even described the animal?s internal parts; the description of the fish?s physical form is an attempt to establish the fact that aside from the fish?s extraordinary characteristics, the fish is a fine-looking animal, yet, terrible in a way because of the environmental elements that he encountered in his life: ?He was speckled with barnacles/ fine rosettes of lime? rags of green weed hung down/ While his gills were breathing in/ the terrible oxygen/ the frightening gills? that can cut so badly?? (lines 16-23). Through imagery, the poet was able to describe the condition of the fish, as well as its beauty and the potential danger that it can give to its captor."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the author loves fishing because he is able to venture off on his own in search of that secret fishing spot and enjoy the peace and quiet of the great outdoors. The author describes the process of capturing the bait and finding the perfect fishing spot. The author relates his catching of a 46-inch Northern Pike and deciding to let it go so that he could return another day and re-capture his dream of catching the "big one".
From the Paper
"The next morning came upon me quickly; it was as if I had just laid down for a night?s sleep. I sprung from my bed with anticipation and excitement; it seemed as though I had the energy of a racehorse. I was now eager more than ever to venture off in exploration for that secret fishing hole. My mother stopped me and wouldn?t let me out the door if I didn?t have something to eat; as I sat there at the table in a daze eating my breakfast, my mind wandered off reflecting on an image I had of landing ?the big one?. That image was now vastly embedded in the back of my mind."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This well-researched and detailed paper explores the effects of acidic precipitation (acid rain) which has been a major factor in fish kills throughout countries in the northern hemisphere. The writer of this paper cites numerous studies which have linked aluminum toxicity along with acid rain as the main cause of fish extinction. This paper stresses the urgency in developing a successful management tool in determining the viability of fish populations in various natural settings. This paper also contains detailed information and results of various case studies as well as two graphs that support the author's claims in this report.
From the Paper
"The fish used in this experiment were obtained from a trout farm which ensures the relative similarity of the fishes used in the experiment. They were acclimated to artificial soft water for 2 weeks before they were used in the experiment. They were then transferred to flux chambers for the experiment and given 24 to 48 hours to recover from the handling stress before they were exposed for 24 hours to low-pH water (pH 4.4, 4.8, or 5.2) A control group (N=36) for each of these pHs was left in these conditions for 10 days. The experimental group after this 24 hour exposure to low pH levels were exposed to concentrations of Al of 111, 333, or 1000 ug/L at the same pH (N=72)."

Deep Sea Fishing, 2004.
An analysis of the environmental effects of deep sea fishing.
1,308 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper describes the environmental impacts of deep sea fishing in general, with a focus on the issue of over-fishing. The paper examines the equipment utilized by deep sea fisheries, claiming that it may also impact the environment in a negative way. The paper contends that not only are habitats and eco-systems destroyed as a result of deep sea fishing, but entire species are on the verge of distinction, while other non-target species have also been impacted in a negative manner.
From the Paper
"The environmental impacts of deep sea over fishing are many, including detrimental reductions in fishing species/populations. Over fishing can result in a modified community species composition and reduced genetic diversity through "selective targeting on species and particular size classes" (Shotton, 2003). Over fishing has the greatest impact on the environment at large. Reductions in genetic diversity and in species or populations alter the composition of habitats and can impact the environment in many ways. Coral reefs are one example, facing extinction because of a lack of herbivorous species to keep algae in check."

"The Fish", 2007.
This paper provides an analysis of the symbolism employed by Elizabeth Bishop in her poem "The Fish".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the writer discusses the symbolism of the fish in Elizabeth Bishop's free-verse poem "The Fish". The paper examines Bishop's use of similes throughout the poem. In addition, the writer looks at her use of alliteration and assonance as a means to enhance the impact of the poem. The paper suggests that the fish primarily serves as a symbol of resiliency and survival and that it is a common symbol of Christianity and Christ.
From the Paper
"A common symbol of Christianity and Christ, the fish serves as a multi-layered symbol in Bishop's poem. Because the fish has been hooked and is bloody and also because the fish emerges from the water a "venerable" creature, it readily symbolizes Christ. Moreover, the fish's attitude toward its captors is passive: "He didn't fight. / He hadn't fought at all." He "hung a grunting weight, / battered" just like the dying Jesus on the cross. Further Christian symbols include a simile referring to the "ancient wall-paper" of the fish's scales. The fish is also a foreign creature, who cannot survive on land just as human beings could not survive under water. His "frightening gills" labor at inhaling the "terrible oxygen" that provides sustenance to mammals but not to fish. Thus, the fish is exotic in its denotation of Christ and in its otherworldly appearance."

Over-Fishing, 2004.
Examines the extinction of marine life due to over-fishing.
1,475 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Over the centuries, man has made use of lakes and oceans to provide nourishment, but recently, that use has turned to abuse as more and more marine species face extinction due to our over-use of the ocean resources. This paper takes an example the grey nurse shark, which faces extinction within 7 years due to the lucrative fin market. Other issues connected to over-fishing discussed in this paper include by-catch, the whaling industry, and the threat to coral reefs around the world. The paper examines ways of reducing the problem of over-fishing through public awareness and consumer pressure.
From the Paper
"This particular issue is demonstrative of modern fishing practices. Along with causing the decline in fish populations, modern fishing techniques have also been altering the seas' ecosystems. Skimming large and medium-size fish off the top of oceanic food webs has left a disproportionate fraction of marine biomass at the lower end of the "pyramid of life" (Harder). Beyond skimming, by-catch species are also casualties of modern fishing practices, as we have already discussed."

Jesus and the Fishing Boat, 2008.
This paper discusses Jesus and the discovery of a 27-foot fishing boat dating back to the first century B.C., concentrating on the concept of the Sea of Galilee.

Abstract
This research paper focuses on the 27-foot fishing boat from the first century BC found in the Sea of Galilee that is believed to be connected to the historical Jesus. The paper relates that the topic is linked to the ideas surrounding the historical Jesus, his life, activities, involvements, relationships, and view. The paper further relates that the information it contains also describes the artifact and looks at how and where it was discovered. The writer concludes that without the Sea of Galilee, used as an allegory in many of the parables of Jesus, these stories might have been much more difficult for the disciples to understand however, the references to the Sea of Galilee and specifically to the fishermen's trade lends comprehension to many of the sayings of Jesus, that otherwise would have been more difficult for the people of that time to discern and comprehend.

Why the Sea of Galilee?
Summary & Conclusion
From the Paper
"In many ways, the Sea of Galilee is centric to the life and story of the historical Jesus as he called several of his disciples from the shorelines of the Sea of Galilee and they followed him without question. The Sea of Galilee was an important part of the economy in this area of the world during the time that Jesus walked upon the earth and fishing was an important livelihood as well as being important insofar as the food market in this area of the world. Jesus used the symbolism of the fish in many of his teachings, parables and sermons. In fact, the Christian symbol known as the Ichthus is the symbol of a fish, and it is know that during time of Christian persecution following the life, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus that when two Christians would meet they would identify themselves one to the other by one tracing half of the fish symbol in the sand with his foot, and the other, if a Christian, would then trace the other half of the symbol in the sand with his foot thus completing the symbolic 'Ichthus' and both would know that they were in the company of another Christian and that it was safe to talk about Jesus and his ministry."

Endangered Cichlid Fish, 2007.
This paper looks at the elimination of cichlid fishes in Lake Victoria and their significance to scientists.
1,724 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that Lake Victoria is a natural body of water that has experienced exponential change within the past hundred years, due to human activity. The paper focuses on the devastation to the native cichlid fish in Lake Victoria and attributes this to the economic and social value of the lake as a vital source of fish and water for the surrounding human populations. The paper discusses the many features of the cichlid population of Lake Victoria that explain their significance.
From the Paper
"Still, how scientists will uncover this story is becoming increasingly hazy, as the natural environment of these fishes is being irreversibly changed. Applying the biological definition of a species may be fundamentally useless as observing cichlids in the wild becomes ever more unfeasible. As a result, genetic research on captive populations of the fish may be the best way to identify the specific mechanisms that brought about the cichlid adaptive radiation in Lake Victoria, while morphological analysis should accompany these findings with observations of current distinctions."

Abstract
This paper discusses the representation of consumerism in Larissa Lai's novel, "Salt Fish Girl." It specifically shows that Lai uses Pallas runners as a central theme to critique consumerism. The paper argues that Lai's message is ultimately hopeful and optimistic, as she implies that there is hope for the future, despite powerful, evil corporations and the consumerism they promote.
From the Paper
"Unfortunately, the attempt fails. Yet despite such failures, and despite Miranda's many moments of selling out, the novel retains a sense of hope that individual free will could possibly win out against the power of corporations and technology. For one thing, Miranda manages to establish a relationship with Evie, who is Salt Fish Girl, reincarnated as a run-way clone (Sonia 113) and anti-corporate activist. Once Miranda begins her relationship with Evie, she begins to rebel against the corporate culture. (Previously, she had been primarily indifferent to it.) Most importantly, Miranda keeps striving to be a good person, despite the fact that she fails so many times. Her failures are easy to understand, for the forces stacked against Miranda and Evie are enormous. For example, although Miranda seems to have killed Dr. Flowers, who is the epitome of evil in this warped society, he has already cloned dozens of young versions of himself - each equipped with a pair of Pallas shoes."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the autobiography of Antwone Quenton Fisher, "Finding Fish: A Memoir". The paper explains that Fisher is a successful Hollywood director, writer, and producer, and his rise from a humble beginning to power and prestige in Hollywood is more than the story of his life; it is a testament to what a strong and determined person can accomplish in America. More than that, the paper contends that the story shows that a man can conquer his past, no matter how difficult it is, and that a tragic childhood does not have to end up as a tragic and wasted life.
From the Paper
"Antwone Fisher clearly led a difficult life, and he needed many personality characteristics to survive and ultimately thrive. He is a strong young man with a good attitude, which helps him overcome many of the obstacles placed in his life. In addition, he has a vivid imagination and often loses himself in daydreams, which help remove him from the stark realities of his life. He also has vivid dreams that he remembers throughout his life, which give him hope during difficult times. In fact, he notes in the book, "Against all the realities of not knowing who I was, where I came from, or where my place was in the world, this led me to believe that I was somebody and I belonged somewhere" (Fisher 59). His daydreams and dreams were his salvation, but as he grew older and the realities of life set in, he stopped relying on his mind and his sense of wonder to make him happy, and he became more bitter and unhappy."
