From the Paper
"Carol Tavris, in her work Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion, essentially attempts to reclaim anger as a healthy rather an unhealthy emotion, and to show how it can be experienced and expressed in ways which will not be destructive to the individual or to others. Tavris attempts as well to come to a clearer definition of anger than has been forged to date in the field of psychology:
Clinicians devote a considerable portion of their energies to helping their clients "deal" with anger, yet few of them distinguish anger from rage, hatred, violence, or chronic resentment, and even fewer conduct experiments to see how these phenomena might differ (23).
As a result of these flawed perceptions and definitions, and ..."

From the Paper
"For the narrator of "Heat" herself, life after the twins' violent death has simply gone on, with relative non-eventfulness and, ironically, what now triggers her distant memories of the twins and their horrible deaths is when she herself now goes to the area of the icehouse in order to make love. Violence and death was once, the narrator knows, literally "right around the corner" from where she now enjoys the ecstasy of lovemaking, but at the same time the memory of the Kunkel twins' fateful afternoon nearby, so long ago, though it remains sharp and vivid is also, somehow, at the same time, distant and surreal."

Abstract
In this article, the writer describes how the American fiction writer Joyce Carol Oates has not simply tackled issues of national importance in her novels. She also has a substantial critical body of literary essays and works of nonfiction. The writer discusses that over the course of her career, as Oates' has grown more prolific as a writer of fiction, Oates' nonfiction essays and writing have had an increasingly literary rather than a journalistic quality in the tone of Oates' prose, even while their subject matter has tackled issues of national importance. Referring to examples of Oates' literary works, the writer examines the author's concerns and style of writing.
From the Paper
"The review of McCarthy precedes a flight of philosophical fancy, as Oates muses not simply about this novel, but about the style of the author and why his work compels her, and compels other readers, time and time again, despite the violent nature of McCarthy's prose. "No one would mistake Cormac McCarthy's worlds as "real" except in the way that fever dreams are 'real,' a heightened and distilled gloss upon the human condition." (Oates, 2005) Oates shows evident familiarity with the entire span of McCarthy's works, and the reader might have difficulty fully comprehending the review, had the reader not read Blood Meridian and All the Pretty Horses, books that Oates has read and refers to as common knowledge in her analysis of how the masculine and bloody world of the author she is reviewing speaks to the extreme nature of the human life, not just in the Wild Wild West McCarthy chronicles, but in modern times. Her essay on Lear, in contrast, wrestles more with what Shakespearean critics such as Norman Lear have written about the Bard's use of narrative structure."

From the Paper
"The middle-8 section can effectively be split into two distinct parts. In the first half, a chordal piano solo takes the lead role, playing over a static C minor vamp, whilst the guitar plays slightly emphasised rhythm phrases which add interest whilst importantly not drowning out the piano. The second half of the middle-8 is harmonically the same as the first four bars of the chorus. The guitar exchanges some jazzy lead phrases with the piano in this section, and a more active bassline and ride cymbal rhythm combine to pick up the momentum again. The middle-8 breaks down into the second verse in much the same way as the first chorus progresses into the first verse, with each part simplified to create space in the mix for the softer vocal."

Joyce Carol Oates' "Where Are You Going, ...", 2006.

Abstract
This paper explains that In Joyce Carol Oates' popular short story, "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been", the seduction of the teenage Connie by Arnold Friend is accomplished through his exploitation of the ideology that was transmitted through the medium of popular rock music. The author points out that the story is set in the American 1950s against the backdrop of drive-ins, the ever-present music conveys a superficial understanding of romantic relationships that forms the basis of Connie's understanding of her emerging sexuality. The paper relates that the prevalence of music in the text lends a mythological or fairy-tale quality to the narrative, which in large part describes the seduction to take place. The paper concludes that, due to the prevalence of a superficial understanding of the world and human relationships that is constructed by pop music culture, Friend is able to use the ideals of such songs as an illusion for his predatory nature.
From the Paper
"Arnold Friend disguises himself in the clothing and mannerisms of the youth of the period, but does so in a manner that seeks not only to imitate others but to embody the ideals projected through the music. His arrival at Connie's house is connected to the music that Connie has been listening to inside her room, immediately creating an illusion of common interest: his transistor radio play "the same program that was playing inside the house." This serves to draw Connie out, initiating a brief discussion of the DJ that is on. Friend appears just a shade different enough from the other boys to create interest."

Abstract
This paper examines how Joyce Carol Oates is known for writing about violence towards women. It looks at how the situations she writes about are everyday situations that women face all over the world all the time and how Oates is excellent in bringing out fear through these situations. In particular, it focuses on "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?", "Heat", and "The Molesters" as typical Oates's stories where women are victimized by men.
From the Paper
"The villain in this story is Arnold Friend. Oates created a very frightening character here through his appearance and speech. Arnold wears dark sunglasses that do not let anyone see where his eyes are looking. This is quite creepy since he is probably staring her up and down, like a lion checking out his next meal. It is revealed that Arnold is not the young guy that he first claims to be, and is in fact around thirty years old, adding to his villainous nature. Another very disturbing part of Arnold is his friend that is waiting in the car the whole time Arnold is talking with Connie. This man "wasn't a kid either...he had...the face of a forty year old baby" ("Where..." 502). This adds to the fearful appearance of Arnold, since a forty year old man has no place there."

Abstract
This paper explains that Carol Krenz' research explores the way sugar and carbohydrates stimulate differing parts of the brain. The author points out that, by realizing the soothing powers of both sugar and carbohydrates, there can be little doubt that both offer a solution to depression in the winter. The paper relates that, by keeping a balance of both of these necessary dietary factors, relief from depression can be found without hazardous health problems, which each one may provide singularly.
From the Paper
"The article "Food for Sloth" by Carol Krenz begins with an argument that presents the similarities between comfort' foods and hibernation foods. This manner of food related analysis present the dietary and psychological process that leads to excessive sugar and carbohydrates in the winter months. The beginning pars of the article tell how human beings have a tendency to eat more sugars due to the normative depressive states that occur between December and March. The article then begins to discuss the indifference between comfort foods and hibernation that exist, but not without the 'poisoning' that sugar and carbohydrates can impart on the human body in a singular manner."

Abstract
The paper evaluates the significance of Charles Dickens' own life circumstances relative to his famous novel, "A Christmas Carol." The paper points out the speculation that much of his own life is represented in the novel's story, which emphasizes the importance of the primary characters whom he provides with vivid descriptions in different ways.
From the Paper
"Charles Dickens wrote his famous novel "A Christmas Carol" with a number of personal life experiences and issues in mind. His own life was filled with challenging ordeals and circumstances, which provided much fodder for his literary career. Specifically, "A Christmas Carol" serves as one of Dickens' most masterful achievements and his strong dedication to his craft is in part a testament to the experiences of his life. This novel continues to be loved and admired by many, particularly during the Christmas season, when there is particular attention paid to this story. The following discussion will demonstrate that Dickens' novel provides many similarities to his own life, addressing parallels between some of the challenges of his circumstances and their relationship to the story presented in the novel."

Abstract
This paper presents the work of Carol Weiss in developing concepts of program evaluation, program development and decision making. This paper defines evaluation as the systematic assessment of the operation and the outcomes of a program or policy, compared to a set of explicit or implicit standards, as a means of contributing to the improvement of the program of policy. The author believes that it is fruitful to look further into Weiss' theory-based evaluation process and into her assertion that it is social science ideas, rather than statistics, which really impact the public process.

From the Paper
"This is the beginning of Weiss' work in exploring the importance of values, and value conflicts, in program development, operation and evaluation. If there are two different types of people involved in the process, with two opposed sets of values, the likely result is conflict. The researcher does not have a vested interest in the success of the practitioner's program, or the well-being of the people with whom the practitioner is concerned. Correspondingly, the practitioner does not have an interest in knowledge creation, except insofar as that knowledge can be applied to the program to assist in the furtherance of program goals. The two sets of interests develop naturally from the differing value systems of the participants in the process."

Abstract
This paper examines how Carol Ann Duffy's Poem "Litany" has various themes contained within it with the most predominany being that of language. "Litany" is set in the ninety fifties where a young girl grows up listening to the transparent views of her mother and her friends and through the poem the girl mocks these women because of their fear of language. It looks at how the women are shocked, ashamed and most importantly scared of language and how the mother is disgusted that her daughter does not share her fear of language.
From the Paper
"It is extremely clear from the beginning of this poem that the mother and her friends are shocked by language. "Sharp hands poised over biscuits as a word / was spelled out." The word "sharp" relates to the harsh atmosphere in the room when the women are discussing 'embarrassing' topics. As 'poised' means stopped I feel that this word adds to the tension in the room as the women are frozen in shock. Because the women spell out their 'shocking' words this shows that they feel too ashamed or scared to just simply say them. I feel that these women have no real understanding of language as they are so shocked by the most unharmful words."
