Abstract
This paper looks at the life of eighteenth-century German dramatist and actor, Caroline Neuber. It describes the obstacles she and other women faced in German theater at the time, the dramatic reforms of the theater scene she championed and the inventive way in which she used dramaturgical conventions like the prologue to advance her agenda. The paper also discusses Neuber's commitment to re-shaping German comedy so that it would acquire the gravitas she felt it deserved. Finally, the paper examines Neuber's pivotal relationship with Johann Christoph Gottsched.
From the Paper
"Still, for all the troubles which attended her life-long foray into the German theatre, Neuber should be remembered for her many accomplishments. Not least of all, she was one of the very few theater troupe owners who happened to be female; Neuber was also a committed perfectionist who dedicated herself to raising the standards of the German theater. Not to be overlooked, it was Caroline Neuber, arguably more so than anyone else in German theater at the time, who transformed the improvised, traditional Haupt- und Staatsaktion performances into a genuine national theater which promoted rehearsed and memorized performances of the 'courtly' Alexandrinerdrama variety so much in vogue in France at that time (Eigler & Kord, 75 and 229)."

From the Paper
"This is a wonderful story about an African American maid, Caroline, who works for a Jewish family in humid Lake Charles, Louisiana. Caroline is very tired of being stuck in the basement of the Gellman home, doing laundry, and meanwhile, she and the eight-year-old Gellman boy, Noah, form a relationship that is edgy, cross-cultural, but very interesting. Noah looks up to Caroline a lot, in fact he idolizes her; but even though she likes him, she is gruff with him. She lets him smoke cigarettes with her, and they form a bond in that way. "Caroline never tells me so but I know Daddy mustn't know," Noah says (15). "A secret her and me can share: Our daily cigarette...""

From the Paper
"Caroline Bynum has been long recognized in the historical halls of academia for her exceptional scholarship and stature as a researcher. This has proved once again to be the case with "Jesus as Mother: Studies in the Spirituality of the High Middle Ages". The subtitle should lead the reader towards the author's subject matter. This text is not simply about feminine images of Christ during the 12th century in Europe. Instead, this text is composed of five distinct essays and studies, which taken together are capable of providing readers with a broader understanding of the importance of the spiritual world and the social role that it played in that historical context. Each essay could be taken alone as an individual study on the varied subject matter."

Abstract
This review offers an analysis of Caroline Bird?s ?The Case Against College?. It explores Bird?s major arguments against a college education, where she discusses that it is both a waste of financial resources and does not provide an adequate return of investment. The writer disputes Bird?s arguments by offering a critique of her research methodology. The review concludes that although an interesting book, it is ultimately flawed.
From the Paper
"She suggests that students and parents who see college as a status symbol or as evidence of being a ?well rounded? individual should seriously reconsider a college education. She sees college as a huge waste of financial resources, and argues that students are often neither intellectually or emotionally richer for the experience. Given that the text was written over 25 years ago, some issues are longer current, and monetary figures are inaccurate. However, many of the issues raised in the articles remain valid to this day."

Abstract
"The Right to Privacy by Ellen Alderman and Caroline Kennedy is an introduction to the wide variety of privacy claims made by American citizens and the fate of those claims in the courts. The book is intended for a general readership, rather than for legal scholars, and it is designed as if in answer to a list of points about privacy that almost any group of Americans would produce if they were asked to name the areas of privacy in which they were most interested. The authors respond to the prevailing idea in American society that there is some kind of legal protection for privacy rights.

"Evita" by N Fraser and M Navarro and "Child of the Dark" by Caroline Maria De Jesus, 2000.
A comparison of the triumphs and troubles of the wife of powerful leader and a woman of poverty.

From the Paper
"Both Evita and Maria, in Evita (by Nicholas Fraser and Marysa Navarro) and Child of the Dark (by Carolina Maria de Jesus), are products of a combination of both their times and circumstances as well as of their exceptional individual characters. The special circumstances of their lives challenged and drove them to accomplish what they did, forced them to do far more than they perhaps would have done in less challenging circumstances. Of course, there is no way to determine the dividing line between such internal and external forces, but clearly without a powerful inner drive to survive and succeed, neither woman would have overcome adverse circumstances. Both women were powerful characters, but Evita strikes this reader as a woman driven by vanity, while Maria seems to be a woman of great depth."

From the Paper
"This paper is an examination of Caroline Knapp's Drinking: A Love Story, an account of her passionate love affair with alcohol and the events, thoughts, and realizations that eventually led her to renounce her "lover." The book is a brutally honest glimpse inside the mind of an alcoholic, as she battles the denials and rationalizations that lead her to seek solace in a bottle. Occasionally, she also has brief realizations that her drinking has become a problem, and she seeks out others whose alcoholism seems worse as a way of comforting herself. She examines her family background, especially the psychiatrist father whose own problems with drink and peculiar relationship with his daughter may have helped her use alcohol as a crutch. She also chronicles some of the effort and self-realization required for recovery from this addiction.."

From the Paper
"In the book In Our defense, authors Ellen Alderman and Caroline Kennedy make reference to a number of major civil liberties cases as they illustrate the power and importance of the Bill of Rights. The government is prevented by the Constitution from engaging in a wide variety of behaviors which the Founding Fathers feared, based on their experience in Europe with an unfettered government. While majority rules, it is also true that the Constitution protects the rights of the minority against the onslaught of the majority. The bill of Rights involves a statement of such protections, as an examination of some of the cases cited will show.
The Progressive magazine case is an interesting one in which the magazine was going to print an article detailing the production of an atomic bomb, specifically an H-bomb. The..."

Mother Figures in "The Sound and the Fury", 2006.
A comparison of Caroline Compson and Dilsey Gibson as mother figures in William Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury".

Abstract
This essay compares and contrasts Caroline Compson and Dilsey Gibson as mother figures within the novel "The Sound and the Fury" by William Faulkner. This paper is written within the terms of their relative positive and negative influence on the Compson family, and the Compson children in particular. Throughout the novel Caroline Compson, the children's real mother, is lacking as either a mother figure or a positive influence of any kind, while Dilsey Gibson admirably fulfills both roles. Faulkner, though, implies hope for the Compsons, and, by association, post-Reconstruction South itself. The conclusion allows that in reflecting on the relative strengths and weaknesses of Caroline and Dilsey, it is clear that Dilsey Gibson, not Caroline Compson, finally exerts more influence over the Compson family.
From the Paper
"Both Caroline Compson and her husband, Jason Compson III, are neglectfully detached from their children. It is Caroline's chronic self-absorption, however (at her children's expense) that, as Faulkner implies, is more hurtful and damaging to them. Caroline seems interested in two things only. The first is her own self, and her numerous personal needs, rather these are imaginary or real. The second is her family's declining social importance within Jefferson. Caroline is in fact so obsessed with the latter that when it becomes clear that the child originally named Maury, after Caroline's brother Maury Bascomb is severely mentally retarded, Caroline changes his name to Benjamin ("Benjy"), so as not to reflect badly on the older Maury, or her family name. Clearly, from that example alone, we recognize that Caroline's first affections and loyalties are not to her children."

'College is a Waste of Time and Money', 2006.

Abstract
This paper explores Caroline Bird's essay 'College is a Waste of Time and Money', and demonstrates that her premise that instinctive direction must be self-determined is rhetorically driven and is unsubstantiated through logic. Bird indicates that the experiences that a student receives at college do not compensate for those that would occur in the world beyond the Ivory Tower, for the student acquires theoretical knowledge and experience instead of developing actual, practical information in these same regards.

Abstract
This paper presents a section-by-section review of the anthropology textbook, "Gender in Cross-Cultural Perspectives," compiled by Caroline B. Brettell and Carolyn F. Sargent. The paper provides examples from each chapter of the book. Each section of the book deals with the myriad and diverse studies of gender.
From the Paper
"One very interesting angle on the study of man and woman in prehistory is provided by Lila Leibowitz (?Perspectives on the Evolution of Sex Differences?), who provided a detailed account of primates? male-female roles. In the end, after writing an intriguing article, Leibowitz concludes that there is currently a ?distorted? collection of evidence as to the gender roles in primates. Her hypothesis is very compelling, and she does not seem to be elitist in the least (which sometimes happens with scholars whose knowledge far surpasses the lay person). She explains that her hypothesis is presented in response ?to a spate of evolutionary theories which stress that our sex-role destiny along with our sexual anatomy was settled a long time ago.? Clearly she does not espouse a rigid view of the evolution of physical differences between men and women, and how sex roles came about. She calls for more study of the existing data."

Abstract
In this essay the writer claims that the concept of a higher education and a university diploma is one that has been heavily idealized. The writer points out that many students that have already experienced university, either associate the experience with tired cliche or bitter disappointment. Further, the writer maintains that it is this negative reaction that Caroline Bird is trying to understand in her cynically but appropriately titled essay, College is a Waste of Time and Money'.

"Everyone has certain aspirations for their future, whether it is their ideal career or finding true love. What we hope and dream something to be is very different in reality."

Abstract
In a recent study conducted by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse there are an estimated 4.5 million American women who are alcoholics today. The paper investigates this social problem against the backdrop of the autobiographical novel "Drinking, A Love Story" by Caroline Knapp. It shows how the novel offers the reader a glimpse not only into the world of alcohol addiction, its impact on families and potential treatments, but also into the scope of the disease as it relates to women.
From the Paper
"Unfortunately, the fall out of alcohol abuse for women also reflects this double standard. Most men leave their alcoholic wives, whereas most women stay with their alcoholic husbands. This, of course, has more to do with sex roles than with alcohol. Women are still often economically dependent on men and therefore cannot leave even desperate situations. Women are also socialized to be self-sacrificing. Men are much freer to leave, economically and psychologically, and leave they do (Brennan, Moos, Rudolf, 1996). AS Knapp points out, "By the end, (drinking) was the single most important relationship in my life" (Knapp, 1996)."
