Abstract
One of the more profound developments of the current Native American movement has been an effort on the part of Indians themselves to record their own history in order to help them gain control of their future. When Deloria promulgated his "Indian Manifesto" in 1969 with the title of "Custer Died for Your Sins", it became apparent that he was at the forefront of this movement, and the issues he identifies continue to be at the forefront of Native American concerns today. This paper provides an overview of Deloria?s book, followed by a discussion of six of the main points made by the author. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"According to Deloria, popular myths about American Indians have created a mainstream mentality in American that is based on ethnocentric perceptions that help soothe the national conscious because, after all, the Indians got the short end of the resources and geographic stick. Deloria makes the point that Native American men have been considered virtually subhuman since Europeans first set foot on the continent, but the Indian women were viewed as possessing a sufficient amount of stockiness and attributes to make them worthy of having their bloodlines added to the Euro-American family history through intermarriage."

From the Paper
"It seems as if both historians and ethnographers are again concerning themselves with the diatribe of past events in relation to modern, more pragmatic, communicative efforts. In fact, many of the recent works tend to readdress some of the historical issues so prevalent in ethnographic research, and attempt to merge the varieties of fieldwork with an historical perspective--presumably to reformat some of the issues in a newer, more modern, bent. Within this context, this paper will examine a 1969 work, Custer Died For Your Sins, by Vine DeLoria, Jr.
In brief terms, the book is less of an historical interpretation of the American Indian, for it would be difficult for any book to attempt such a feature in only one volume, than an extended essay-like commentary on the way the American Indian ... "

Abstract
This paper examines the seven deadly sins of the Christian religion. The paper explains that they are seven "golden rules" to follow in being a decent person and a true Christian. The breakage of each of the "rules" will result in death and Hell. These seven capital sins make a definite borderline between what is good and what is bad. The Seven Deadly Sins represent the opposition to the seven major virtues, which each person should possess from the point of view of Christianity. They are Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Anger, Greed, and Sloth. They are accordingly opposed to the seven primary virtues of Humility, Love, Faith, Self-Control, Kindness, Generosity, and Zeal.
From the Paper
"Pride deals with overestimating one's value and achievements over the other people. Envy is connected with a strong drive to posses what other person has or to be like this person. Gluttony is an uncontrolled longing to food and other pleasures. Lust is a self-destructive desire fro sex, power and other bodies pleasures. Anger equals to irritation and fury, especially impatience towards the flaws of other people. Greed is a strong unwillingness to share the material good one has and Sloth is about not completing any spiritual or physical work. Each of these sins is the o being despised in the contemporary world and at the same time each of them is common and ordinary in this world. These seven sins have always caused a lot of arguments and a lot of works have been dedicated to this issue."

The Three Deadly Sins, 1993.
A look at the representation of three deadly sins in the works of Christopher Marlowe and Edmund Spenser.

Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts the representations of the deadly sins of pride, envy and gluttony made by Edmund Spenser in his poem "The Faerie Queene" and Christopher Marlowe in his play "Dr. Faustus". The paper examines how these sins are reflected through the actions of the protagonists in the texts.
From the Paper
"The very different portrayals of the Seven Deadly Sins in Marlowe?s Dr. Faustus and Edmund Spenser?s Faerie Queene arises from the moral concerns of each of the two text in which they are presented. Marlowe, wishing to emphasize how people tend to view sin lightly and fail to realize its consequence, shows how Lucifer deliberately makes the Sins seem attractive and entertaining in order to mislead people. Spenser's concern lies with the way in which sin lures people by tempting them with the seeming reward of material gain. He fulfills these expectations in his personification of the Sins, showing them surrounded by ostentatious riches, but in such a way as to deride the shallowness and emptiness of ill-gotten wealth."

Abstract
This paper reviews and critiques the Tom Wolfe essay "Sorry, but Your Soul Just Died", about how neuro-science has brought humanity to the brink of a final mechanistic and deterministic view of human nature. In the first section entitled "Who's Afraid of Tom Wolfe?", the author thoroughly discusses and then refutes, each of Wolfe's arguments and scientific predictions. In the paper's second section, titled "Into the Abyss," the author assesses Wolfe's views of the divine, comparing it with his own and those of other modern thinkers. The paper concludes with the author's opinion that Wolfe's essay is flawed since it revolves around naive, positivistic notions of "science", which are highly controversial and essentially faulty. Therefore, the author indicates that he does not believe it is time to do away with centuries-old notions of spirituality and human nature.
Outline
Part I: Who's Afraid of Tom Wolfe?
Part II: Into the Abyss
From the Paper
"Wolfe starts his essay with the enthusiastic prediction that, "by 2006, the entire digital universe is going to seem like pretty mundane stuff compared to a new technology." This new technology, he announces, is "brain imaging." Brain imaging allows scientists to "actually see the genes light up inside the brain." Neuroscientists like Edward O. Wilson are about to discover "the physical repositories of such philosophical and religious concepts as "'the mind,' 'the self,' 'the soul,' and 'free will' that are already believed in by scholars." Genetics, argue Wilson and Wolfe, "determine not only things such as temperament, role preferences, emotional responses, and levels of aggression, but also many of our most revered moral choices, which are not choices at all in any free-will sense but tendencies imprinted in ... regions of the brain."

Abstract
This paper examines how Emily Dickinson writes of death in the poem "I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died", choosing her words like a painter would chose his/her colors. It looks at how every word has meaning and how every line signifies a breath and thought of pure philosophy.
From the Paper
""The stillness in the room" represents the awkward instance of death. When death happens the "stillness" is felt by all. We all become aware we are of life when we experience death. "The stillness in the room" is compared with the "stillness in the air". To Dickinson the in death the air become still for the person who can no longer take a breath into their lungs. This stillness becomes death, air no longer exists and life is a memory possessed by those who look on with wonder. The emotion in this poem is great. The second stanza describes the onlookers. This must be the exact time of death, because the group begins to cry and breath "firm". While chests become tight with the onslaught of tears the eyes fix on the death in the room, but she who is dying fix on the small insect in the room. She thinks of all that life has brought and what parts of her are able to be left behind. She has "signed away" the physical world and has entered the final phase of the spiritual."

Sins in ?The Canterbury Tales?, 2004.
A look at the reoccurring theme of sin throughout Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales".
4,203 words (approx. 16.8 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 112.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how "The Canterbury Tales", written by Geoffrey Chaucer, is based on corrupt English society. It looks at how each of the tales throughout the work represents a different way of life during the Medieval Era and how, through the characterization, one is able to see the representations of the sinful in this so-called pious society.
From the Paper
"Throughout the work, the characters in the tales seem to find nothing wrong with the way they lead their sinful lives. They act accordingly to their instincts and think nothing of repercussions. Ironically, the characters find themselves in accordance with the Lord and, naively, cannot comprehend their sinful actions. They found themselves feeling more fulfilled when they took a more positive approach to faith and did not dwell on their sins. In fact, most believed that no matter how much they sinned, their soul was not any less holy because of their past relationship with God. Once these sins were executed, the chance of eternal life and happiness diminished. The sins are so closely related that, normally, if one of the sins were committed another one would soon follow. They committed sins of pride, which exemplifies a lack of humility."

Abstract
This paper reviews two medieval books " The Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer and "Piers the Plowman" by William Langland and examines how the "Deadly Sins" are presented in the texts. It discusses the portrayal by each author of each of the sins in turn and how both describe a pilgrimage and both try to make people better by depicting virtues and vices. Langland chose to use for this purpose abstract characters while Chaucer on the opposite side used very true to life characters with human faces.
From the Paper
"Pride is first to confess her ?swaggering airs? and to admit that to take ?a humble place? would be ?something new? for her. Her confession is rather short, but this description of how pride is reflected in people?s behavior helps to recognize those guilty of pride in General Prologue. Prioress is supposed to call herself humbly ?a sister?, ?was cleped madame Eglentyne?(121), she sings the services ?entuned in hir nose? trying to imitate French in order not to look as a nun but more as a noble lady. Friar is also proud, he prefers to socialize ?with frankeleyns over-al in his contree,/ and eek with worthy wommen of the toun? and avoids poor and his fellow beggars."

Abstract
This paper presents a discussion about the interpretation of a work of art as it relates to the Bible story that it depicts. The writer uses an oil painting of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ to discuss both the art and the Bible story with which it correlates. The paper then argues that the artwork is a good representation of the event.
From the Paper
"In this country there are very few if any people who would not recognize a picture of Jesus on the cross. While they may not be Christian or if they are they may not have been to church in awhile but everybody in America recognizes a picture of Jesus on a cross. Because it is such a common Christian picture we have become accustomed to glancing at it and understanding what it is then glancing away again. We rarely take the time to stop and determine if the picture is a true representation of the bible story or just a close facsimile. All we have to see is someone who looks like Jesus on a cross and we discount the rest of the picture without even looking at it."

Abstract
This paper discusses the aspect of sins and sin-doing and examines the three types of sins that mankind commits: primal sin, original sin and actual sin and provides examples. The author focuses on the main idea behind sinning: turning away from God.
From the paper:
"The Bible study teachers instruct against the sins of alcohol and premarital sex. An evangelist on television warns that failure to evangelize neighbors and failure to feed the hungry are sins. The regular petition at church on Sunday "for forgiveness of our sins of omission and of commission." This meant that sin occurred when one did something they should not have or when one failed to do something that they should have (Gaventa 2)."
