Abstract
This paper discusses the historical roots and evolution of the city of Boston, Massachusetts. It describes Boston's economic climate, its transition from manufacturing to high technology and defense and, most recently, to healthcare and biotechnology. The paper then describes the availability of educational and cultural activities and centers in Boston.
From the Paper
"Boston and its surrounding suburbs make it the leading center of higher education in the United States. The number of universities is extraordinary. The two largest universities directly within the city are Boston University and Northeastern University. Other Boston suburban schools include Boston College, Brandeis University, Emmanuel College, Emerson College, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Simmons College, Suffolk University, Tufts University, the University of Massachusetts, and Wellesley College. On the positive city, students at these universities keep the atmosphere in Boston young and invigorating relative to stodgier New England areas. However, Bostonians have a tendency to place too much emphasis on where you went to school before focusing on who you are as an individual and what you have to offer. This bias permeates throughout social circles and businesses seeking qualified job applicants. Yet, Boston's strong economy accommodates growth for anyone who is motivated to succeed."

This paper reviews Roland Formisano's "Boston Against Busing", which shows how the anti-busing movement in Boston was just as much about class as it was about race. We see that class resentment lingers beneath the surface of racism.

The Boston Tea Party, 2005.

Abstract
This paper reviews the events and policies which led the American colonists to cast off the leash of England and fight for autonomy. The paper analyzes England's logic and purpose behind the Stamp Act, Townshend Act and Quartering Act. It also discusses the effects of the Seven Years War, Boston Massacre and monopoly of the East India Trading Company on the reasoning of the Americans. Finally, it describes how all of these events led up to the Boston Tea Party.
From the Paper
"Hoping to starve Boston into submission was yet another mistake Britain made. It only united the Colonies more in their fight against the Crown, the other major cities sent supplies to Boston so it could out last the act. England brought the Revolution upon itself, the King and Parliament made poor decisions when it came to the Colonies. England thought that they could force the Colonies into union; they did not recognize that the more they tried to unite, the more the Colonists resisted."
"The Boston Tea Party was indeed the first Act of Revolution in the war, James Stokesbury says, "In fact it [The Boston Tea Party] was the chief turning point in the progression toward revolution (34)." I would say it was also the point of no return, because after such a dramatic work of rebellion the Americans could not crawl back, they had to continue on that path. The tea party set the tone of how the war would be fought and won."

The Boston Massacre, 2007.
An overview of the key players and the cause and effect of the 1770 Boston Massacre.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how in 1770, increasing hostility and tension between the British military and Boston colonial civilians triggered an event that would turn the colonists into patriots who would oppose British rule. It also discusses how the Boston Massacre was not necessarily a battle, but an inciting incident that Paul Revere was able to turn into a piece of propaganda against the British and how it was thus a key event leading up to the Revolutionary War.
From the Paper
"The Boston Massacre was instigated by a smaller series of events taking place in a much bigger picture. There was tension between the American colonist and the British in the spring of 1770 (The Library of Congress 2007). The events of March 5th were thus of a much smaller consequence that turned into a historically significant event. The Boston Massacre was instigated by a young apprentice Edward Garrick who called to a British Officer that he was late paying a bill. Garrick continued to yell, and when called over to the customs house, Garrick was hit on the head by the British private outside. "

Abstract
This paper looks at the now cold case of the Boston Strangler from the 1950s. The author examines the life of Albert DeSalvo, who confessed to the crimes, but was murdered before he could be tried and convicted. The paper attempts to determine whether DeSalvo was in fact the strangler, based on his previous criminal convictions and other personal details.
From the Paper
"Whether his stories of maltreatment are true is questionable, as he tended to be a braggart from childhood. He told of seeing his father knock out all his mother's teeth and then break all her fingers, as well as hitting Albert in the back with a pipe for moving to slowly. He also claimed his father sold him, along with his two sisters to a farmer in Maine for nine dollars, to be used as slave labor. DeSalvo also claimed that his father would bring prostitutes to their home and then strike his mother in front of them. This abuse continued until Frank and Charlotte DeSalvo divorced in 1944 (http://home1.inet.tele.dk/shilsta/killer1.htm)."

Boston Architecture, 2004.
This paper discusses two Boston architecture sites: Trinity Church and the John Hancock skyscraper in Copley Square.
1,305 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that Trinity Church (1876) remains a historical wonder of religion and beauty, but the John Hancock skyscraper is both aesthetically unpleasant and structurally unsound. The author points out that the Trinity Church heralded the signature "Richardsonian Romanesque" style of its celebrated designer, H. H. Richardson, and presented a bold, fresh, new face and feeling for ecclesiastical architecture in America. The paper relates that neighboring the Trinity Church is the modern minimalist John Hancock skyscraper (1976), by far the tallest building in all of Boston, with a facade of blue reflective glass that makes it look like a giant test tube, a bizarre juxtaposition in style and purpose.
From the Paper
"The original Trinity Church in Boston was built by John Indicott in the 1700?s. However, in 1860 the Vestry voted to move the church to a new location. In January of 1872, a 24,800 square foot plot of land was purchased in Boston, having been carefully chosen as the site for the church, and soon after committee meetings began to review architectural plans for the building. Gambrill and Richardson, a firm of H. H. Richardson, was commissioned to design the church. Additional funds were set aside for the building, allowing an additional plot of land to be purchased, adding nearly 15,000 feet to the original plan. The church is surrounded on all sides by streets, not other buildings that would restrict the view of the church. In April of 1873, engineers began driving wooden pilings, most of which were completed from July to September of this year. However, the Vestry became discouraged by the building cost estimates -- ranging from a soaring $355,000 to $640,000 -- and they halted work on the building until Richardson revised his plans, capping off the new estimates around $400,000. In November of 1876, the building was finally complete, and it was paid in full by February of 1877."

Organized Crime in Boston, 2008.
An analysis of the history and development of organized crime and the mafia in Boston.

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of organized crime in Boston. It particularly focuses on the connection between immigration and social connection to the mafia. It discusses the reasons why organized crime in the United States began and how it has developed over time. It shows how the mafia as its own cultural group provided a form of social acceptance for many individuals.
From the Paper
"According to Lehr and O'Neill (2000) organized crime in Boston is quite active in modern society. The basis of the organized crime families has existed for decades, which causes continued generations of these families to maintain the family "business" (Lehr & O'Neill, 2000, p. 271). Lehr and O'Neill (2000) point out that although federal and state authorities have made numerous attempts at ending the operation of organized crime in Boston, the ability of the mafia families to recruit immigrants and the downtrodden in society into their organization will continue to support the functions of these groups (p. 271). This belief is significant because despite social attempts to prevent organized crime from existing, it is apparent that as long as there are definite separations in class because of ethnicity and culture, organized crime will continue to flourish."

Abstract
This paper documents the events leading up to the violence of the Boston Tea Party on the evening of December 16, 1773.
From the Paper
"When the Boston Tea Party occurred on the evening of December 16,1773, it was the culmination of many years of bad feeling between the British government and her American colonies. The controversy between the two always seemed to hinge on the taxes, which Great Britain required for the upkeep of the American colonies. Starting in 1765, the Stamp Act was intended by Parliament to provide the funds necessary to keep peace between the American settlers and the Native American population. The Stamp Act was loathed by the American colonists and later repealed by parliament. (http://www.bostonteapartyship.com/History.htm) However, the British government quickly enacted other laws designed to solve monetary problems. Each act was met with resistance. The Boston Tea Party was the final act of focused rage against a Parliamentary law."

Brewing Strategy
Competition
Financial Information
From the Paper
"As far as the brewing strategies that the company uses, it must be mentioned that they are two. On the one hand, Boston Beer relies upon brewery ownership. On the other hand, it makes use of contract brewing, using the excess capacity of other breweries. This provides the company with several advantages. First and foremost, it offers it flexibility. This allows it to respond better to the market changes as well as to avoid situations that might cause crisis situations. In addition, the mix of the two strategies mentioned above provides the company with cost advantages. It is highly important to mention the fact that the company chooses its collaborators on strict criteria which reflect the very beliefs that lay at the basis of the company's functioning."

Busing in Boston, 2007.

Abstract
This paper details the history as presented in the book "Boston Against Busing," written by Ronald P. Formisano. It describes the racism in the 1970s when the courts mandated busing children away from their neighborhood schools to more distant locations, as a way of addressing the racial imbalance in the schools. The paper analyzes Formisano's depiction of the events.
From the Paper
"The decision was handed down by Judge Garrity in 1974, and he sought to make certain that the order was followed immediately. The school board and its supporters were largely in denial that there was any segregation in Boston, but the court did not listen to this claim. The next argument was that segregation was beyond the ability of the school district to address, and the court rejected this idea as well. In fact, the judge found that the school system used a feeder method that assured that blacks and whites were deliberately separated into black and white schools. The system claimed that it allowed black students to enroll in schools of their choice, but the judge found that school policies were intended to discriminate on the basis of race. Formisano notes that the decision should not have been a surprise, though it was treated by opponents as if it were and as if there were no foundation or precedent for it."

Women of "North of Boston", 2003.
An analysis of some of the female characters in Robert Frost's book of poetry, "North of Boston".
2,140 words (approx. 8.6 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 66.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Robert Frost's female characters in poems such as ?The Death of the Hired Man,? ?Home Burial,? ?A Servant to Servants,? ?The Housekeeper? and ?The Fear? in his compilation "North of Boston" present a complex representation of women. It examines how not only does Frost depict women as they experience and explore such difficult emotions as grief, fear, and despair; his women also serve as advocates of mercy and compassion and figures of courage and strength. It shows through a review of some of the poems, how Frost looks at women in many difficult situations trying to cope with what life has given them and what emerges is a composite picture of both the negative and positive aspects of women that reveals Frost?s unusually accurate understanding of the opposite gender.
From the Paper
"The first female character, Mary from ?The Death of the Hired Man,? in Frost?s book North of Boston serves fundamentally as the voice of mercy. She personifies the very essence of mercy and human compassion. When Silas, an old, virtually useless farmhand, comes to Mary and Warren?s home seeking a place to stay, Frost places the ?generosity and kindness of Mary?(Walcutt) in opposition to Warren?s position advocating justice. Mary argues that they should take Silas in out of the goodness of their hearts, even though he doesn?t deserve it, whereas Warren says that Silas is not their responsibility; furthermore, he is not worthy of their hospitality, having taken advantage of it too many times in the past.

Since founded in 1984 the company has won many awards including being sited as one of the best companies to work for by the Boston Magazine, and by The Princeton Review as one of the best entry level jobs, and Jim Koch "has been named an "Entrepreneur of the Year" by Inc. Magazine" (Samuel Adams, para 1). To understand why this company has won these awards we must examine the way the company is a transformed organization."
