Abstract
This paper examines the Castle Hill Show from an event management perspective focusing on issues such as conduct, waste and risk management, site communication, queue management and emergency strategies.
From the Paper
"The most common occurrence of a risk exposure at an event is that of an attendee tripping, slipping or falling over. (Johnson, D., 1997, p205) Therefore it was surprising to discover that the ground surrounding the general attendee parking area at this event was uneven and unsurfaced. . In order to then gain access to the main areas of the showground it was also necessary to climb rocky embankments especially dangerous in wet weather. It would appear that this event failed to identify the potential risks these rocky areas represented to both attendees and their vehicles. (Newell, M., & Grashina, M., 2004, p177)"

This paper argues that the castle was the focus of the medieval town.

Abstract
This paper explains that characterizing the medieval era as a period of barbarism ignores the fact that rebuilding a civilization after the fall of the Roman Empire was a laborious process. The author points out that despite this struggle, new urban centers emerged that would eventually become the seats of learning and progress during the later Enlightenment and the Renaissance. The paper stresses that the castle became the focal point of the major urban development because cathedrals and monasteries could never give the degree of military defense that could be provided by the castle. The author concludes that, towering over sprawling medieval cities, the castle was a visual architectural reminder that order and authority were a significant part of medieval life, both in keeping invaders out and keeping the citizenry in line with the interests of the city's elite.

Introduction
The Development of the Castle in the Medieval Era
The Castle as Symbolic Focal Point
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The castle projected an image of power and security that was not only a deterrent to attack but also a source of pride and security for the people who lived around the castle. The castle provided the impetus for urban growth, and that urban growth (through increased tax revenues) also provided the finances necessary to expand the scale and defenses of the castle itself. A feedback loop of a sort was established between the medieval city and the medieval castle. Urban redevelopment after the fall of the Roman Empire continued along these lines for a thousand years until the beginning of the Renaissance."

Abstract
In this religious study of 'The Interior Castle' by Teresa of Avila, one can realize the seven "mansions" of prayer that the Carmelite Prioress of the 16th century depicts in prayer. By analyzing the architectural symbolism that Teresa implies within the seven rooms within her Christian castle, the basis for prayer can be elucidated in stages or levels. In essence, the objective of this study is to define these seven mansions of prayer that arise with 'The Interior Castle' by Teresa of Avila.
From the Paper
"... the soul is the messenger for the body, the spirit becomes the new identity in Heaven that becomes truly one with Christ in Teresa's Interior Castle. As a result of this marriage death is no longer an issue of fear and the spirit can rest within Heaven. This is the ultimate unity of prayer and meditation that allows the soul to leave the Earth and unite with the soul in God inner sanctum."

?The Castle of Otranto?, 2004.
An analysis of the depiction of horror in ?The Castle of Otranto? by Horace Walpole.

Abstract
This paper discusses how ?The Castle of Otranto?, written by Horace Walpole, is a prime example of Gothic literature. It examines how, in Walpole?s novel, distinct characteristics can be found that will truly identify what a Gothic novel is and how one of these characteristics is the use of magical and supernatural events in the novel. It shows how magic is used as a means to provide horror and fear in the life of Prince Manfred, the greedy and cruel leader of the castle. The story primarily focuses on Manfred?s preoccupation with perpetuating his power through his family, particularly his son, Conrad.
From the Paper
"Another important contribution that Walpole?s novel has created in English literary and cultural studies is through the realm of linguistic studies. ?The Castle of Otranto? used words commonly found in English vocabulary, but with different meanings, especially when put in the context of Gothic literature. Words such as ?enchantment? and ?vision? convey mystery, while ?affliction? and ?wretched? illustrate fear and terror. These words that seemed to convey meanings that are unilateral in meaning have become bilateral. Thus, words that illustrate positive magical qualities such as ?enchantment? and objective realities such as ?vision? have now become words that depict horror and characteristic of the supernatural elements and events in ?The Castle of Otranto.?"

This paper discusses the waste management issue in the communities of Toronto and New Castle Upon Tyne. The paper explains that, as the population of both cities increases, so do the problems surrounding waste management.

Abstract
A look at the nature and changes in the construction of castles. The author looks at the background of castle construction, how they were built during the Medieval period and the insights that this provides about Medieval society and the inner workings of it.
From the Paper
"We look at castles today, impressed by their enormous stature and the massive nature of their physical construction. Even today, with the skyscrapers and other marvels of modern construction, castles still imbue awe in the beholder. Imagining how the construction of such masterpieces could have been accomplished with the technology available to the Medieval person is almost incomprehensible. Castles have held this place in the mind from the Romantic period onward, with a revival of the wonder and majesty that such buildings can evoke. The truth of the matter, however, is that castles began as simple wooden structures and palisades, created to defend certain areas from attack by invaders. These simple wooden fortifications gradually evolved into the massive structures that we know and admire today, and the story of that evolution gives us key insights into the way that Medieval society evolved and the inner workings of the society as well."

George Lamming?s "In the Castle of My Skin", 2005.
This paper discusses George Lamming's 1970 book "In the Castle of My Skin" about daily life in the Caribbean.

Abstract
This paper explains that one of the most intriguing and interesting aspects of George Lamming's "In the Castle of My Skin" is his variety of narrative forms: 1) the first-person autobiographical account of the character G., 2) the third-person account of the conversations between the Old Man (Pa) and the Old Woman (Ma) and 3) the third-person account, which relates wider activities to describe the consciousness of the village as a whole. The author points out that, although the Caribbean world of G with its colonial brutality, extreme poverty and slavery may be very different from most of the readers' daily lives filled with luxuries, stability and freedom, it does not take long to become involved in the experience. The paper stresses that book may have been written some time ago, but the world it conveys unfortunately exists today; unfortunately, the class system and one people empowering others is not a thing of the past.
From the Paper
"Lamming uses the varied narrations to show the many ways that colonialism impacts the individuals and their society. In an interview, he once explained that he uses the different narratives to show the type of suppression that occurred to the villagers. It was not a physical destruction of the body, rather a mental destruction of the mind. He notes, "The result was a fractured consciousness, a deep split in its sensibility which now raised difficult problems of language and values; the whole issue of cultural allegiance between imposed norms of White Power, represented by a small numerical minority, and the fragmented memory of the African masses: between white instruction and Black imagination." The narrative approaches are thus likewise divided and splintered to break away from the wholeness and self-esteem felt by someone who is not controlled by others from the outside."

"The Castle of Otranto" and "Two Cultures", 2007.
A discussion on the two different cultures of science and the humanities using Horace Walpole's novel, "The Castle of Otranto".

Abstract
The paper explains that scientist and novelist C.S. Snowe maintained that, after the Industrial Revolution, the way that human knowledge was classified experienced a catastrophic schism. The paper discusses the divide between science and the humanities. The paper explores how this notion of a divide is evident in the way that modern literary critics frequently interpret 18th century Gothic novels, such as "The Castle of Otranto", by Horace Walpole. The paper concludes that, in Walpole's novel, the past has more impact on the present, affirming the psychological importance of personal history rather than the forces of imminent change and scientific progress.
From the Paper
"The realism that Walpole perceives in his narrative is the morality that the characters struggle with, in attempting to do the 'correct' thing. Finally, at the end of the novel, Manfred realizes his ancestor's crimes and repents: "Thou guiltless but unhappy woman! Unhappy by my crimes!" Manfred says to his first wife Hippolita, "my heart at last is open to thy devout admonitions... what can atone for usurpation and a murdered child? A child murdered in a consecrated place? The characters that submit to fate, rather than try exercise scientific control triumph, affirming Snowe's theory that there was a growing divide between science and human emotion in terms of how the culture perceived these systems of knowledge."

Abstract
The reign of King Edward I (1272-1307) was marked by almost constant military activity in the British Isles and France. Edward?s policy of expansion and conquest in Scotland and Wales was aggressive and successful. This paper examines one of the more notable characteristics of Edward?s warlike policies, the construction of a large number of castles, mostly in Wales, as centers of military and civilian administration in conquered territories. The paper focuses on six of these castles, namely Flint, Rhuddlan, Conwy, Caernarfon, Harlech, and Beaumaris.
From the Paper
"Whereas at other sites such as Harlech and Caernarfon the site had offered defensive advantages, at Beaumaris the castle was constructed on a flat, largely featureless marsh, so it had to create all its defensive advantages itself. The result is a highly developed plan using concentric curtain walls, round and D-shaped towers, and two vast gatehouses. It followed the established pattern of having its own dock and access to the sea, and a town was to have been constructed within its own, integrated, defenses. The town was never founded and the castle never completed, the demands of wars, not only in Wales but also in Scotland and France, rendering the expense untenable."

»

Abstract
This paper presents a brief textual analysis of the second chapter of Horace Walpole's "The Castle of Otranto". Beginning with an introduction of the passage and a resume of the events, the paper focuses on explaining the major lines of tension established in the work, with a brief reference to every character involved and an example of Walpole's theatrical effects. The paper contains examples from the text and some quotes from critics.
From the Paper
"Matilda and Theodore become, from that very passage on, interdependent. Theodore is not persecuted for his virtues and does not suffer because of his sincerity. On the contrary, he is an innocent victim of the consequences of events beyond his control, just as Matilda will later become the sacrifice for her father's evil indifference. Theodore consciously moves from exile to isolation (he claims "May she be happy, whatever becomes of me!") and the same thing is true for Matilda - her feelings are "treated as womanish panic", she is at once "ordered to be carried to her apartment". Her helplessness in the face of her father, interested only in the preservation of his descendants, has more power than Manfred's "harsh injustice", his "force", his "rage", his "vain curiosity" and his "wrath". And in that, she is just like Theodore who, no matter how much humiliated, seems a stronger and more sensitive character."

From the Paper
" OUTLINE
I. Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Splendor Falls on Castle Walls" uses elements of song (lyrics), music, and rhyme to convey the suggestion or feeling that human life seems to end with death, but in fact continues through the "echoes" of love and longing shared by individuals.
A. The use of the bugle as the central image gives the poem a musical basis, for the bugle denotes both death, as in "Taps," and the longing of the living to remain connected to the dead.
II. The poem qualifies as a song in its brevity, its expression of the feelings or thoughts of an individual speaker, and in the absence of narrative. The song conveys a mood or feeling rather than a story, and gives to the reader not a philosophical.."

Abstract
This paper briefly takes a look at the relationship between the main characters in Ernest Hemingway's book "Hills Like White Elephants". It shows the norms of society in the period that the book was written and how this effects this relationship.
From the paper:
"Ernest Hemingway?s short story ?Hills Like White Elephants? is a story about a relationship between ?a man? and a ?girl.? The two main characters are referred to as such by the narrator throughout the story. This indicates the man?s experience in relation to the younger woman, named infrequently as ?Jig.? The man remains unnamed. Their namelessness indicates that their story could happen to anyone. Their namelessness also indicates and the opaque nature of their souls to one another. "
