This shows how the author depicts Tongan migration to the United States in a unique way. The author focuses on a "transnational" perspective in that she emphasizes both cultures involved.

Abstract
This paper discusses Cathy Small's book about a second generation of Tongan immigrants to America. The paper looks at Small's description of these immigrants and how they did not keep their traditional ways because of moving further or dislodging their connections with Tonga. The paper explains that Small's
book provides insights of mixed race marriages and children, a family experience and approach, and the necessary arrangements of migrating.
From the Paper
" At times, "the migrants later adjust the motivations they gave originally, or give different emphases to their reasons for leaving than they did previously" (Small 92). However, the focus will be on three key reasons for their migration through culture changes, current political status, migration, history, and revenue aspects. The Tongans culture stems from song, dance, gender roles, and respect. Yet, the government felt that the tradition is not lasting, or shall I say, not worthy of current political status. In other words, traditional values have to be transformed or blended..."

Abstract
This paper explains that Cathy Song understands the predicaments Asian immigrants must encounter in American society because she grew up as an American of Chinese and Korean descent, which she expressed in "Picture Bride", a poem collection about Asian immigrants' concerns with their decisions to migrate to the United States The author points out that, in the poem "Lost Sister", Song compares the contradictions in Chinese and American cultures faced by a Chinese immigrant woman because American laws allows freedom for everyone; whereas, the ancient Chinese tradition oppresses women's rights. The paper relates that Song depicts, in this poem, the immigrant woman choosing to adhere to American traditions, leaving her original cultures in order to express herself in spite of her Chinese identity. Many quotations.
From the Paper
"Ending her poem, Song highlights the immigrant woman's choice to follow the American traditions while disobeying her own culture. Song begins the last stanza with "you find you need China/ your one fragile identification" (lines 53-54) to restate the woman's original identity as a Chinese person. The word "fragile", however, emphasizes the intensity of her connection to her Chinese identification. By saying "fragile," the woman admits that although she cannot deny her ethnicity that runs in her blood, she does not practice her Chinese identity further."

From the Paper
"The motivations of Christopher Columbus and other figures in The Four Voyages of Christopher Columbus, edited by J.M. Cohen, are varied and contradictory. Certainly, those motivations were not purely the result of high religious principles, for the lure of gold, land, slaves, power and prestige also played a major role in driving these men to seek, reach and exploit the New World. The reader must keep in mind that the book is written by men who were likely presenting what they saw as a positive portrait of their activities and intentions. Nevertheless, the full range of their motives comes through. One passage from the account of Columbus's son demonstrates the jumble of motives at work in the hearts and minds of these Europeans in their relations with the natives:
On receiving such kindnesses and such samples of gold from..."

From the Paper
"The term, ?corporate culture,? is one that has gained popularity in recent years without gaining a universally agreed-upon definition. It is used as a type of popular shorthand to describe the system of shared values and the symbolic representations of shared meanings within a corporation, or an organization within a corporation. In her book, Power and Shared Values in the Corporate Culture, Cathy Enz explores the issues surrounding corporate culture, the various subcultures that can exist within organizations, and the way that shared values are communicated throughout an organization. In addition, the author considers the effect that such shared values have on the organization as a whole.

Abstract
This paper will discuss the book "Not Wanted on the Voyage" by Timothy Findley. By analyzing the three many main aspects: animal perception in the Bible and reality, theology, and mythical perspective. In these features of the book, we can see how the author recreates the images of Noah that are present in the Bible. By reworking this classic tale, the basic reorganization of the author's opinions about this old tale can be affirmed. With these three prospects to show in this study, we can make it clear how Findley sees the world of religion, which he was raised in.

Charles Darwin's "The Voyage of the Beagle", 2008.

Abstract
This paper explains that Charles Darwin is often called a man ahead of his time, because his theory of evolution challenged Victorian religious doctrine. However, in his book "The Voyage of the Beagle", Darwin appears to be a man of his culture and times even though he had a unique viewpoint about nature. The paper points out that Darwin's discussion of the different flora and fauna on his journeys on the 'Beagle' are extraordinarily modern in their detail and accuracy; conversely, in Darwin's chronicles about the natives, his racial attitudes show that he was a man of his time. The paper contends that Darwin views his own European civilization as inherently superior to that of civilizations in other hemispheres. The paper uses examples taken from the book to demonstrate Darwin's attitude.
From the Paper
"Likewise the natives' darker skin, which shields them against the sun, reveals them, in Darwin's eyes, as closer to nature. The fact that they speak a different language that is not of the Indo-European family like Darwin's English or Romantic (presumably, he would not look down upon them if they spoke French rather than their native tongue) likewise is unscientifically judged upon the basis that Darwin finds it unpleasant to listen to. Strikingly, even though some of these natives have already picked up a few words of English and can mimic the body language of the crew, showing what might be called a quick linguistic intelligence, Darwin sniffs that all savages are good mimics."

From the Paper
"ne of mankind's great dreams is the discovery of other planetary systems and the ability to travel to them, and a first step in fulfilling this dream is the unmanned probe represented by the Voyager Interstellar Mission. This is a difficult mission by any measure. Voyager I was launched September 5, 1977, and after it has been speeding along for more than 20 years, it is now 6.8 billion miles away from Earth traveling at nearly 51,000 miles per hour. In cosmic terms, that is only about 10 light hours away. However, the closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.3 light years, or 25 trillion miles, away. If Voyager were pointed in the right direction, it is calculated that it would take some 74,000 years to make the trip. However, effective interstellar missions must occur on a human time scale preferably within an individual's lifetime..."

Abstract
This article presents a reflection of the text from "Principles of Catholic Theology" (The Sources of Morality). In this paper, the writer compares the text to a voyage of life through which the traveler reaches adulthood. The writer describes that this stage of adulthood, or moral maturity, is reached by experiencing the various stages of life -- infancy, childhood, teenager hood, and the moral "twenties."
From the Paper
"To discuss morality is always complicated. By today's standards what is moral is subjective and as the text points out is often regarded as without absolutes. When considering the vast differences among people, their origins their upbringings and their chosen paths in life, it is no wonder that morality seems to be what people make of it, rather than people being made of their morality. As such, it is appropriate to consider the sources of morality as a sort of journey on which ... "

Abstract
This paper discusses a poem "Lost Sister" which is found in a poem collection called "Picture Bride" written by Cathy Song. The paper describes the ways in which the poem collection describes Asian immigrants' concerns with their decisions to migrate to the United States. The poem, "Lost Sister," more specifically compares the contradictions in Chinese and American cultures faced by a Chinese immigrant woman.
From the Paper
"By acknowledging that jade stone can only be found in several mountains in China and nearby, Song applies the stone to symbolize China, the nation and its culture. Further, by describing the preciousness of jade stone to Chinese people in line 6-9, Song conveys that Chinese culture is very important to Chinese people. They hold their culture so strongly that they pass it on to their descendants and it becomes the family's identity, as stated in lines 3-4. Identifying themselves as Chinese not only shows their pride in being as valuable as jade stone, but also their power to make impossible goals become achievable as they can "move mountains" (line 7). The significance of the word "daughters" in line 3 is an image relating to the intense connection between Chinese women and their identities as Chinese."

Abstract
Examines honest and dishonest portrayals of Europeans' treatment of American-Indians.
From the Paper
"In Washington Irving's The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus, some of the crimes committed by Columbus and his fellow Europeans against the native population are portrayed. This study will focus on those crimes against Native Americans, as portrayed by Irving and other authors, and on the impact of the crimes on the size of the native population.
The provided selections from Irving's book do not give a complete picture of the crimes committed by Columbus and other Spaniards in the New World. Irving is largely sympathetic to Columbus and has clearly chosen not to cover at length or in detail the crimes committed by the Spaniards, as depicted more objectively in other works. Instead, Irving glosses over the crimes or minimizes and excuses them as necessary. In the section on Columbus' appearance in court in Spain to answer charges ..."
