Abstract
This paper explains that, in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown", the root of Brown's failure isn't that he is evil but his ability to construct and maintain his epistemology is inferior and leads to his demise. The author stresses that this story eloquently illustrates that not thinking leaves people completely unequipped to experience truly and understand life. The paper concludes that "Young Goodman Brown" demonstrates no matter how passionately we believe in something, if we do not have a well-established understanding of that belief, we will eventually be deceived. Quotations.
From the Paper
"As humans, it is in our nature to search for answers. Throughout history, our desire for understanding has pushed us to new levels in every aspect of our lives. This natural curiosity is present in each and every human being and plays a role in our daily lives, whether we think about it or not. As Hawthorne illustrates in his story, however, our appetite for knowledge can be a double-edged sword. Without a well-constructed ability to evaluate and construct belief systems, our innate inquisitiveness will only lead us into falsehood. Hawthorne repeatedly shows us both Brown's curiosity and his epistemological ambiguity."

Abstract
This paper discusses the character, Goodman Brown in "Young Goodman Brown," by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The paper focuses on Goodman Brown's character and personality and his beliefs. It discusses how Brown's beliefs change and the effect that has on him. The paper also describes the plot of the story and Brown's relationship with the other characters.
From the Paper
"Soon, however, Goodman Brown learns the worst. It is not only "a wretched old woman" who is sinning, but his wife, Faith, as well. He hears the arrival of other community members and follows them. As he continues down his path something, "fluttered lightly down through the air and caught on the branch of a tree. The young man seized it, and beheld a pink ribbon." The pink ribbon falling downward from the heavenly sky towards towards hell represents Brown's loss of faith and understanding that evil exists. Brown cries, "My Faith is gone!" (Literature Network, para 27). This sentence has a double meaning. Faith is also gone from the house and is entering the forest, as well. Even Faith cannot be trusted. "There is no good on earth; and sin is but a name. Come, devil; for to thee is this world given.""

Abstract
This paper examines the claim that John Brown was one of the most important figures leading up to the Civil War. It examines Brown's childhood and upbringing. The writer looks at various events leading up to the Civil War and assesses whether Brown's influence was as meaningful as believed. The writer concludes that the statement is not entirely true because although Brown did add a great deal to the south's decision to secede from the union, his involvement in the massacre in Kansas and the raid on Harper's Ferry were only two of the many incidents leading to Civil War.
From the Paper
"John Brown was one of the most passionate abolitionists in United States history. He opposed slavery so strenuously that he took force into his own hands. There are some that have said he was the start of the stampede that would eventually lead to war between the North and South. John Brown did become a rallying cry for the North and brought fear to the South because of what occurred at Harper's Ferry. There are others however that believes he was only one of several contributors to the start of the Civil War."

Abstract
This in-depth paper discusses the rise to power of Governor Joseph E. Brown of Georgia during the Antebellum Period (1840-1860) in American History. It argues that Brown's rise was based on his support for states' rights, his common man roots and popularity. The paper describes that his power was a championship of the common Georgian causes, slavery, and a division within the Democratic Party. It equates Brown's success with the fact that he was a true Georgian and never dealt with national politics. The paper concludes that Brown used his power as Governor to lead Georgia out of the Union, when most Georgians wanted to remain in the Union.
Table of Contents:
State Senator Joseph E. Brown and His Common Man Roots: 1849-1851
The Georgia Democratic State Convention of 1857
Governor Joseph E. Brown and the March to War: 1857-1860
The Election of Lincoln and the Georgia Convention on Secession: 1860-1861

Bibliography
From the Paper
"A defining moment in American history was the cannon shot that could be heard across the country. At 4:30 in the morning on April 12, 1861, Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant-Beauregard (b. 1818 ? d. 1893), under the orders of Confederate President Jefferson Davis (b. 1808 ? d. 1889), opened fire on the besieged Fort Sumter in the Charleston, South Carolina, harbor, starting the American Civil War (1861-1865). The following day, Georgia Governor Joseph Emerson Brown (b. 1821 ? d. 1894) received a telegram from the newly appointed Confederate Secretary of War, Leroy P. Walker (b. 1817 ? d. 1884), informing Brown of the events in South Carolina. Walker wrote, ?I must beg you at once without more delay to furnish my requisition for troops of March 9th. . . I trust you will concur with me in the opinion that the emergency of the case demands instant action.? As Governor Brown read this letter he must have felt apprehensive. On the previous January 19th, using his power and popularity, Brown had lead Georgia out of the Union during a state convention, but now the first shots of a rebellion had been fired. This Southern Rebellion would surely lead to the creation of an independent Confederated States of America. At this point Brown must choose between the protection of Georgia and the protection of the newly born Confederate States of America. Brown quickly began writing his response to Secretary Walker."

Abstract
The paper demonstrates how Goodman Brown, the main character of Nathaniel Hawthorne's story, experiences a lifetime of paranoia and misery, leading him to a gloomy death. The paper portrays how his fears are displayed both overtly and through symbols in the story.
Outline:
Faith and Faith
Faith's Ribbons
The "Stranger"
Paranoia
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Brown's fears and paranoia can be seen through several symbols that persist throughout the story. These things can be seen through his wife, Faith; through Faith's ribbons; and through the image of his uncle. The effects that are created by the interaction of these things cause Young Goodman Brown to live his life in doubt of what he sees with his very eyes, leading him to his misery at his death."
"The most overt symbol of this story comes in the person of Brown's wife, Faith. Her name represents the central device that moves the plot: the characters' faith in God. Without Faith, Brown's life loses purpose. He is only newly married, but, in fact, he already intends to "cling to her skirts and follow her to Heaven" (Hawthorne, 1892, p. xx). Before leaving, Brown sees that Faith appears troubled at his departure; however, he decides to keep his appointed meeting, anyway."

Sports in Thomas Hughes?s "Tom Brown's Schooldays", 2002.

Abstract
This paper explains that the schoolboys at Rugby, as might be expected, play rugby football, which is quite different from American football. The author points out that competitive games are a large part of their schooling at Rugby, but they do not take the place of schooling; they are extra-curricular activities meant to tax the body as well as the mind and to keep the boys hale and healthy. The paper concludes that, today, sports in college are "big business?; whereas, in Tom Brown's day, sports were about the pride of the school and learning lessons that could be used later in life, such as teamwork and leadership skills.
From the Paper
"The book was extremely popular when it was published in 1857. Hughes essentially recreated the life he knew playing Victorian sports atschool, and readers identified with his writing ? especially young men. No one had ever written a story like this before, although several "university" novels followed "Tom Brown's" success. Hughes followed up his wildly successful book with another, "Tom Brown at Oxford," which was not nearly as popular, since so many other authors had written similar novels by the time it came out in 1861."

Abstract
This paper describes the effects that the brown tree snake had on the wildlife of Guam. The brown tree snake, accidentally imported to Guam shortly after World War II, appeared all over the island and ended up killing several species of the native forest birds that lived in Guam. This paper is a historical description of the development of the brown tree snake as a plague. It details the origin of the Brown Tree Snake and the terrible effects it had on the island of Guam. Moreover, this paper shows the environmental effects on the development of the Island.
From the Paper
"Determining the number of animal species existing on the island of Guam prior to the arrival of humans has presented a distinct difficulty. From archeological excavations on the nearby island of Rota, scientists have determined that the original human colonists' domesticated animals extirpated many species thousands of years ago (Chiszar et al1997). World War II "subjected" Guam to naval bombardment so severe that some artillery fire leveled some forests (Chiszar et al 1997). After the war, extensive seeding of the island took place with an exotic legume (Leucaena leucocephala.) It permanently replaced native trees over vast areas (Chiszar et al 1997). The fauna of Guam seemed stable until the 1960's. At this time Wildlife authorities noticed the entire absence of birds from the southern one-third of the island. The boundary of the absence of birds seemed to be moving steadily northward. Birds were missing from the southern two-thirds of the island by the end of the 1970's (Enbring & Ramsey 1983). Thirteen years later, in 1983, all 10 forest species occurred concurrently only in 160 ha of mature forest beneath the cliff line at the northern tip of Guam, with a few species still occupying parts of the northern plateau (Savidge 1987). The early 1980's reveals many factors blamed for the decline in Guam's forest birds. Disease, pesticides, habitat loss, hunting, and introduced species evolve as the major suspect reasons. Elimination of the forest's mosquitoes that possibly harbor avian malaria or avian pox brought an influx of pesticide usage. During World War II to the-mid 1970's, the military used pesticides such as DDT and other chlorinated hydrocarbons to kill the mosquitoes (Enbring & Ramsy 1983). Pesticides might have caused declines in the past; therefore, it cannot be ruled out as a cause for the earlier reed-warbler extinction (Reichel et al 1992). Tests conducted in 1981 indicate low pesticide levels on Guam. Pesticides probably were not responsible for the current declines of forest birds (Reichel et al 1992). The years since 1945 have witnessed an increase in weedy species, though substantial native habitat remains in southern and northern Guam. Birds have disappeared from forests that previously supported healthy bird populations (Savidge 1987)."

Abstract
This paper explains that Christ-like human beings are instruments for the arts in the poetry of Robert Browning. The author points out that, by addressing how Browning created "Pippa Passes", the reader can learn how his poetic style of monologue matured in Ira Lippo Lippi's style and religious ideology. The paper states that Browning was an extremely dedicated follower of the Christian faith, which resides clearly in how human beings are used instruments for his own poetic vision.
From the Paper
"The drama of "Pippa Passes" reflects the way that God is a messenger of the arts within the poetic style that Robert Browning applies in his verse. In this manner, Browning has a supreme faith in the Christian God to guide Pippa by this seemingly invisible hand to influence artists in a positive manner."

An Example of Individualism: John Brown - Abolitionist, 2006.
A review of the life and legacy of slavery abolitionist John Brown.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper studies John Brown, one of the most prominent and also controversial abolitionists. The paper begins with a review of Brown's personal history and then provides a detailed account of his abolitionist activities. Included are discussions of his relationship with Frederick Douglas, his often bloody battles with pro-slavery forces in Kansas, and his instigation of a slavery revolt in Harper's Ferry, Virginia. The latter half of the paper is dedicated to an assessment of this revolt, by analyzing Brown's own writings on the subject, as well as those of his colleagues, including Douglas.
From the Paper
"On October 16, 1859 John Brown led 21 men in an attack on Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Brown's ultimate goal - which initially failed - was to begin an uprising of slaves that would eventually end slavery in the United States. In a time when many white men were supporters of slavery or, at the very least, indifferent to it, Brown spent most of his life as an active abolitionist. He helped finance anti-slavery activities and publications; gave land to fugitive slaves; and he and his wife agreed to raise a black youth as one of their own. Brown is undoubtedly one of the most prominent abolitionists of his day, but he is also the most controversial. Viewed by some as violent and insane, and others as a heroic martyr for a just cause, John Brown's actions are widely viewed as instrumental in the eventual start of the Civil War."

Abstract
The paper reviews Robert Browning's life, and notes key works he wrote at various points in his career. The paper analyzes a number of Browning's poems, and for each one cites critical passages pointing to a major theme of the work. The paper concludes that Robert Browning was one of the major moral-aesthetic thinkers of the 19th century, who believed that imperfection, which is what separates Heaven from Earth and God from man, is the law of life.
From the Paper
"In Browning's best poems, people from the past reveal their lives and thoughts by speaking aloud. A typical Browning poem tells of a key or pivotal moment in the life of a prince, priest, or painter of the Italian Renaissance. A few of Robert Browning's common themes are about Man's relationship to God verses his fellow man, infinities are unattainable to man in his present state of imperfection, and imperfection is the law of life."

Cooper and Brown: Early American Literature, 2002.
This paper discusses in detail James Fenimore Cooper?s ?The Last of the Mohicans? and Charles Brockden Brown?s ?Wieland? and their contributions to the development of American literature.

Abstract
The author reviews in detail the ?The Last of the Mohicans? and ?Wieland?. She concludes that they are different in style and genre. Both Cooper and Brown contributed greatly to the development of a distinctly American literature. Cooper adapted the Romance; Charles Brockden Brown adapted the European Gothic novel to the American context. Cooper's influence is seen in frontier fiction; Brown's influence, in the works of Poe and Hawthorne.
From the Paper
"James Fenimore Cooper wrote in the vein of European Romantic writers like Walter Scott, while Charles Brockden Brown recreated the new form of the Gothic novel. Both adapted the original forms to the American experience, which meant not only embedding them in the land but also shifting the focus from aristocratic European characters to the common man in the democratic social order in America. Both Cooper and Brown elevated the common man over any ideas about the superiority of the aristocracy and did so in the American setting."
