Abstract
In this paper the author looks at the painting, ?Composition with Red Yellow and Blue? c. 1922 by Piet Mondrian and attempts to bring a sense of purpose to the painting and instill the reader with a sense of appreciation for the message that Mondrian imparts through his art. He concludes by examining the September 11th attacks in relation to Mondrain?s art and contends that Mondrain would have regarded it as surreal.
From the paper:
?Mondrian believed that artistic expression should be found in the abstraction of form and color and that his use of vertical and horizontal lines would express the perfect harmony between these two extremes?.

?The Dream of the Rood?, 2004.

Abstract
This paper argues that the author of the ancient text ?The Dream of the Rood?'s presentation of the mystery of the Redemption is dependent on his presentation of the symbol of the cross ? especially in terms of vocabulary and grammar. It reflects on the idea that the poem is prefigured by the poet?s obedience to contemporary theological doctrine i.e. the need to present simultaneously Christ?s triumph and suffering. It concludes with the idea that Rood is not constricted to the realms of biblical paraphrase ? in that it is without analogue ? meaning that the poem ultimately is forced to develop its own unique (and fully poetic) statement on the mystery of the Redemption.
From the Paper
"The Rood poet makes his statement on the ?Mystery of the Redemption? in a way that treads the tightrope between Christ?s divinity and humanity. The mystery of the Redemption is, thus, a question of Christ?s crucifixion; it is dependent on whether one considers the crucifixion to be an example of triumph, or suffering. Anglo-Saxon doctrine recognised a concomitance between divinity and triumph, and humanity and suffering , in terms of Redemption doctrine. The task of instilling such a paradox in a literary figure (in the case of Christ) is, to say the least, hazardous: it requires that Christ is simultaneously human and suffering, and divine and triumphal. The ingenuity of Rood is that the poem uses the symbol of the cross to represent Christ?s humanity."

"How I Met My Husband", 2005.
A review of the book "How I Met My Husband" by Alice Munro.

Abstract
This paper discusses the story, "How I Met My Husband" by Alice Munro. It looks at how the story's central character is Edie, who serves as the narrator of her life and the telling of how she inadvertently met her future husband. It discusses her perspective on the world, as well as how her language determines the type of character she is and how that character perceives the world around her.
From the Paper
"Alice Munro's story, "How I Met My Husband" is told from the perspective of the narrator, Edie. Edie determines the style of the story by discussing the elements of her life from a young girl of fifteen, and as a woman. She recants tales of those that she has known, and of the man that she believed she deeply loved. Edie relates her life from the viewpoint of an innocent child that was raised in poverty, was uneducated, and saw life from a simplistic perspective. In this manner the story is, therefore, influenced by Edie's view of the world, and how she perceived the things, and people in it. This is evident as Edie discusses her former home in which the house was lit with oil lamps, and leaks were plugged with rags (Munro ). "

Mise En Scene in "Casablanca", 2003.
An explanation of the basic principles of the film techniques involved in mise en scene by using the film "Casablanca" as reference.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how, in the film "Casablanca" (1942), Michael Curtiz uses mise en scene through his use of contrasting costume, set composition, and character framing in Paris, Casablanca/Rick?s Cafe, and the airport to develop the idea that one must put the past aside to reach success, as Rick does in the film. It looks at how, in order to show the audience the growth of Rick, Curtiz uses three points in time with dramatically different mise en scene. The audience is transported to France to visualize the days of Rick in high spirits with his love, Ilsa, after viewing his blase attitude in Rick?s Cafe in Casablanca after he has lost her, and then finally realizing what he must do, not only for his personal life, but for the world at large once Ilsa has come into his life again.
From the Paper
"By making contrasts between the scenes of Paris and the scenes in Rick?s Cafe; in Casablanca, the director presents the audience with the contrasting sides of Rick. Dressed in a suit with a solid white jacket matched with solid black pants, the audience is now aware that after losing Ilsa, Rick is fighting his own inner-battles. Ilsa, dressed in a solid white dress, contrasts the dark blue pinstripe dress from France to show that she has also changed and is attempting to purify herself. However, her outfit is completed with a large brooch which is gaudy and showy, to put forth a front of wealth and contentment in her appearance. Yet the large size of the brooch signifies that she is concealing how she truly feels, be it in her feelings towards Rick or her fear of the German soldiers."

"When Harry Met Sally": A Study of Modern Day Romance, 2007.
A psychological analysis of marriage as an institution in American culture as depicted in the film "When Harry Met Sally".
2,397 words (approx. 9.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how "When Harry Met Sally" is a romantic comedy that reaffirms hope in modern relationships and marriage by showing the changing cultural attitude of man-woman relationships, and the reliance on unity through friendship. It looks at how the film is borne of a time period that has been sharply critical of the marital institution and acts as a remedy, or seems to want to offer a panacea for the crippled and confused state of the marital institution.
From the Paper
"One of the first devices in the film is the treatment of outside narrators used directly in the plot. The opening scene is an elderly couple sitting on a couch together as they provide a brief account of how they met, fell in love, and got married. The elderly couples supplying their brief accounts of marital life reappear several times within the film in a sequence that is spaced intermittently between the rest of the narrative. The elderly married couples do not play any key role in the main narrative itself, but are imported for the purpose of contributing to the understanding of the story. One of the main purposes these outside narrators serve in the film is to provide the viewer with different or alternating perspectives on marriage."

"When Two Worlds Met", 2007.
A review of Arthur Ray's "When Two Worlds Met," part of the opening chapter of "The Illustrated History of Canada", edited by Craig Brown.
1,439 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 47.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines Arthur Ray's text "When Two Worlds Met" and shows how it is illuminating in that it challenges many preconceived notions about the relationship between Aboriginals and Europeans in early Canadian history. The paper highlights the main impression of Ray's text that without the participation and contribution of the Aboriginal populations to the fur trade, the country that we know today as Canada would simply not exist.
From the Paper
"It should be noted that given its purpose as a general history text, oriented more towards the descriptive presentation of historical information rather than the arguing of a particular contention or scholarly thesis, this work is not thesis-driven as such. This being said, it may be argued that Ray's objective in the text is to depict the complexity of the contacts between Aboriginals and Europeans in early Canadian history. Indeed, perhaps the most striking feature of Ray's work is how his work challenges many preconceived notions with regard to the relationship between Aboriginals and Europeans in early Canadian history."

Abstract
In 1793, the French government was in chaos and the revolution that brought Napoleon Bonaparte into authority was under way.

?Mr. Deeds Goes to Town? and ?When Harry Met Sally?, 2006.
A review and comparison of the movies "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" and "When Harry Met Sally".

Abstract
This paper reviews the 1936 film "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" and the 1989 movie "When Harry Met Sally", examining their historical, contextual and social significance. As the author says, the classic film and the contemporary blockbuster may appear to have little in common. However, the paper shows that both movies relate to feelings of worthlessness that result from the inability to fulfill societal expectations and adhere to cultural norms during particular eras in history.
From the Paper
"In the time of The Great Depression, when "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" was released, men spiraled into despair, some to the point of committing suicide, because the stock market crash left them unable to fulfill their historical role as a family provider. Comparably, in the modern age of "When Harry Met Sally" both men and women often feel worthless and dejected because they are unable to fulfill their contemporary role as spouse/parent/successful career-person. In both cases, these issues are presented through characters that embody these doleful emotions in a way that anyone who has ever experienced them can soulfully relate."

"The Dream of the Rood", 2002.
A literary analysis of the poem "The Dream of the Rood" and ancient Pagan practices.
650 words (approx. 2.6 pages), 2 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay analyzes the Old English poem "The Dream of the Rood" and examines the overshadowing of Christian elements by pagan elements. The author notes that this can be explained by the historical context of the poem, for the author felt compelled to include pagan elements as a co-opting tool in order to convert them to Christianity. Since the thematic focus of the poem is the victory won by Christ over sin, the tactical use of pagan elements that perhaps overshadow Christian elements is justified by the strategic goal of converting pagans to Christianity.

?The Dream of the Rood?, 2006.
A discussion of the content and context of "The Dream of the Rood" as a seminal Old English poem.
2,854 words (approx. 11.4 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 84.95
»

Abstract
This paper discusses how in "The Dream of the Rood", the poet has added elements of the idealized heroic death to the crucifixion. The paper relates that the poem is a story of the crucifixion, told from the point of view of the Cross, as it is seen by the poem's narrator in a vision. Like "Caedmon's Hymn" this poem is characterized by its blending of pagan heroic values with Christian ones. The paper includes an outline of the poem.
From the Paper
"Thus, this poem is one striking product of a people's struggle to reconcile the competing values of their ethnic literary tradition and their new-found truth. Notice the depiction of the Cross as covered alternately with riches and blood, traditionally two of the most vivid realities of the Anglo-Saxons' existence (see, for example, Beowulf). 70 A notable feature of the poem is the close identification of Christ, Cross, and Dreamer. The Dreamer's comment (126b-29a) seems un-Christian at first glance, over-competitive, yet it is perhaps not far from St. Paul's attitudes in Gal. 6:14 ("glory in the Cross") and 2 Cor. 11:21 ("boasting"). The poem as a whole embodies a typical meditative scheme-Memory, Understanding, Will-and is rich in descriptive and rhetorical artistry as well as spiritual and theological expression. The wedding of form and content seems to me superb."

Cheng'en?s ?Monkey? and Voltaire?s ?Candide?, 2004.
This paper compares the novel, ?Monkey? by Cheng'en, a classic Chinese mythological novel first written in the 16th century, and the novel, ?Candide? by Voltaire, a satirical European novel written in the 18th century.

Abstract
This paper discusses that the first major similarity involves the qualities of the two main characters, Monkey and Candide, who both are rebelling from the general beliefs and rules of society. The author points out that another similarity for the two main characters is their physical journey, which represents a journey to enlightenment. The paper relates that the final major similarity in the two works is that they both make significant use of humor because the books are dealing with complex and serious issues including philosophy, suffering, and religion.
From the Paper
"The seriousness of these issues makes writing about them a difficult process and one that could easily result in a book that is difficult for the reader to enjoy. In both cases, the author has chosen humor as a means of ensuring that the books remain accessible and enjoyable, even with the tough issues they deal with. In Candide, examples of suffering are used throughout to present the real problems of the world. On his travels Candide sees people being burned to death to prevent earthquakes, sees people dying in a war over a worthless piece of land, and sees a Pope acting in ways no better than common people. Without the satire and humor Voltaire incorporates into the work, the suffering depicted would be overwhelming and the book would be difficult to enjoy."

A Heideggerian Assessment of Sartre?s Etre-en-soi, 2005.
A discussion of how Sartre portrays the nature of consciousness and material reality.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Sartre's "Being and Nothingness" and how he portrays the nature of consciousness and material reality. The paper looks at this nature by way of Sartre?s early works that have a bearing on these issues, including "Being and Nothingness", "The Psychology of Imagination", and "Nausea". The paper points out that Sartre relied very heavily on the categories of Heidegger?s "Being and Time" and thus considers how Heidegger would assess the Sartrean 'en-soi'.
From the Paper
"There is the common-place acknowledgement that Jean-Paul Sartre?s Being and Nothingness is an interpretation of Martin Heidegger?s discussions of anxiety, guilt, death, and temporality in Being and Time. Indeed, Sartre?s debt to Heidegger is substantial. For example, Heidegger?s Dasein, inauthenticity, and facticity (or thrownness) become Sartre?s pour-soi, bad faith, and contingency, respectively."

Marketing the Met, 2004.
A discussion about methods that could increase ticket sales and the popularity of the Metropolitan Opera.

Abstract
This paper explains that the Metropolitan Opera is currently going through a phase of low turnout and unpopularity among the younger generation. The paper provides a few suggestions for a way to increase popularity and a few marketing techniques, which could assist in this endeavor.
From the Paper
"Other good news for opera?s potential is that audiences for opera have been increasing steadily for the past two decades. Opera America notes that, between 1982 and 1992, opera audiences grew by almost 25 percent, which is 12.5 percent greater than the growth experienced in any other art form. Better still, the median age of attendees dropped slightly, form 45 to 44 years of age. (Boiarsky, 2004) Still, that is not exactly a youth audience; to the children of the Baby Boom, that means the audience for opera is still a bunch of ?Gray Hairs.? And, on another negative note, growth in opera attendance among 8- to 24-year-olds was significantly lower than overall growth at 18 percent, meaning that some other group?and older group?increased its attendance by more than 25 percent- (a good deal more) to reach that magic number. Still, the increase for opera attendance in that age group surpasses the increases for other art forms; nearly a third of the U.S. opera audience, in fact, is under age thirty-five."

Is the Cleaning Service Important to You?
What Are the Reasons That You Do Not Use Cleaning Service?
From the Paper
"Research gathering is helpful to locate the target market. Gathering and analyzing information are important to find the best probable answer for this business; how to grow. Without research, the business owner would not be able to make intelligent and logical decisions. Marketing strategy is very important to grow the business. The 4Ps of marketing: Product (cleaning service), price (how much the service will cost), place (identify the target market) and promotion (advertising type) are the key to achieving these goals. A solid investment in consistent, relatively intense advertising can get the business to an outstanding weekly sales volume. It is very important for an owner of a cleaning business to know who he/she is and what gets him/her excited. This will help the business owner reach his/her goals."
