Abstract
In this essay, the writer points out that there is a clear lesson in 'Deliverance' about the difference between city and rural people. The writer notes that director, John Boorman, goes to great lengths to show that the two groups of people portrayed in the film have completely different values and, in a sense, different definitions of survival. The writer maintains that the main characters define survival, at least at the beginning of the movie, in terms of financial wealth and material comfort, whereas the rural characters have a more basic sense of survival. The main characters come to rural Georgia looking for a taste of something simple, but instead find a world much more complex. The writer concludes that there are two separate worlds and, in the end, when the men promise the local sheriff never to return, it is a fitting symbol that these worlds should not - and can not - be integrated.
From the Paper
"In the dueling banjo scene early in the movie, which is one of the movie's most famous scenes, Drew's remark that he is having trouble keeping up is a powerful harbinger for the struggles in the backwoods society that will plague the main characters for the rest of the movie. At the end of the dueling banjo scene, as Bobby tries to approach the boy, who appears to be inbred, the boy turns away in disgust. The message here seems to be that they may speak the same language and enjoy the same music, but that there is a wall of distrust and animosity that stands between city people and their rural counterparts. Not surprisingly, shortly after they begin their trip the men become lost, both physically and metaphorically - they have entered a world they do not understand and where their values and sense of judgment are now out of place."

Sound in Ancient Greek Theater, 2005.
An examination of sound and audibility in the theaters of Ancient Greece.

Abstract
This paper examines how the acoustics in Greek theater spaces have ultimately proven to play a vital role in spectatorship and performance. It looks at how theater spaces and design were a necessary construct at the time in compelling audiences to become absorbed into the fullest theatrical experience possible, while simultaneously obligating actors to deliver the finest deliverance of dialogue.
From the Paper
"Whether by accident or design, there exists some fundamental objections to the theatre spaces that are the foundation of the acoustics. For example, often noise from any section of the auditorium can be distinctly heard in the others. A rowdy audience therefore could ruin the performance. We may recall the tradition, dating from the early days of the theatre before the buildings had assumed permanent stone form, that audiences drummed their heels on the wooden benches to show their disapproval of a play. In a theatre with naturally good acoustics, this must have been devastating. It illuminates the necessity, both for tragedy and comedy, of embodying additional attention-holding devices, and the dangers of allowing a huge crowd to be distracted."

Abstract
This paper explains that the 'fear factor' is at the root of both sides of the argument. It is the patient's fear of the unbearable pain of the illness and loss of independence that explains the ultimate decision to give up life. From a different perspective, there is also the fear of the doctor's abusing the power given them by legalizing euthanasia. The author points out the astounding fact that 93% of the people in Oregon, which has legalized euthanasia, indicated loss of autonomy and inability to enjoy life as their important 'end of life concerns,' which motivated them to opt for euthanasia. This paper concludes that to develop this into a legalized procedure and to administer it in health care settings would be a serious breach of the Hippocratic Oath of doctors; however, in some very rare and exceptional circumstances, where the rationality of the request is beyond any reasonable doubt, it would be forthright to provide assisted deliverance.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the United States, Oregon is the only state to have legalized euthanasia. The 'Death with Dignity act' of 1997 legalized the procedure in the state. Since then the number of physician assisted deaths have increased every year to a total of 171 deaths between 1998 and 2003. This is just around 1/7th of one percent of the total number of deaths in that state and pales into insignificance compared to the Dutch figures. However, a look at the 'end of life concerns' for these patients who opted for voluntary euthanasia has raised questions about the validity of the claim that fear about 'unbearable pain' and 'loss of bodily functions' are the main concerns prompting patients to resort to euthanasia."

From the Paper
"Goal Definition: Currently our company holds the patent and all the legal rights to sell certain kind of polymers that are used through out the world by construction companies and other building development projects. The problem that we are facing is that our company sells these products to bigger manufacturers that only dilutes our products and sells it the end customer at higher margins. Plus being a big brand they are able to sell it at those prices and get good price quotes from us. Goal of the Redwood project is to manufacture the diluted product that is thoroughly tested and readily accepted by the end-user. The idea is to fully utilize the patents and technology that Chemical Highway already processes."

Abstract
The following paper examines how the real tragedy of "The Damnation of Theron Ware " is that just as the title character, Theron, becomes illuminated and finally begins to see the truth of things, he is ?saved?, or rather, damned by Sister Soulsby?s deliverance.
From the Paper
"While most critics agree that the title character of Harold Frederic?s The Damnation of Theron Ware represents the clash of traditional ideas with new beliefs, it remains ambiguous as to what the true agent of Theron?s damnation is. Frederic places conservative Methodism in opposition to three waves of thought: New Asceticism, New Catholicism, and New Science. Theron?s awakening to these ideas provides the catalyst for his fall, but the real instrument of his damnation is the pragmatic wisdom represented by Sister Soulsby. Theron Ware begins the novel as a vessel for 19th C. American ideals. He is a Methodist Protestant, emphasizing his heart over his head and representing a non-intellectual emphasis on private morality. He is also an Emersonian, a believer in self-reliance and a romantic lover of nature. His faith that he can enter into a new intellectual sphere is spurred by his Emersonian ideals; however his actual experience is reminiscent of the work of Henry James in such novels as The American. Like Newman, Theron attempts to be something he is not. There are naturalistic, deterministic elements at work that suggest that both Newman and Theron are doomed because they quite simply cannot cross cultural boundaries. This pessimism pervades Frederic?s novel as we see Theron stumble blindly on, becoming more and more foolish, just as he believes he is being enlightened. "

Abstract
This paper portrays the works of two poets whose subject matter and deliverance are comparable. The writer discusses their style of writing poetry to emphasise the differences between them and their understanding and belief of the art of poetry.
From the Paper
"Terence immediately lapses into reasons why poetry can never be a substitute for beer: ?There?s brisker pipes than poetry.? Why, if it?s false happiness the reader wants, then by all means the reader should get drunk. ?Malt does more than Milton can/To justify God?s ways to man? refers to Milton?s Paradise Lost and typifies Houseman?s argument. The poet describes the breweries in England, wondering why anyone would prefer poetry to beer for curing malaise, especially those ?fellows whom it hurts to think.? Ale is the drink of choice for anyone who wishes to see the world through rose-colored glasses. When drunk, the ?world seemed none so bad,? declares Terence; but ?the tale was all a lie; the world, it was the old world yet.? "

"Robinson Crusoe" and Religion, 2004.
An examination of the suggestion that Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" is a profoundly religious novel by aligning it with the puritanical culture in which it is inextricably steeped.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" and focuses on a range of distinctive puritanical motifs by exploring the 'profoundly religious' climate that saw the emergence of this pioneer of fiction. It looks at how the novel essentially takes the form of a spiritual biography whereby Defoe?s prodigal embodiment in Crusoe follows a pattern of punishment for the disobedience to his father, repentance and consequently deliverance from his affliction on the island. It also explores how it is by means of this design that Crusoe grows in spiritual faith to become the mythical hero who possesses an immediate resonance of association in the twenty-first century?s heritage of the English novel.
From the Paper
"This idea of religious father and prodigal son may be traced back to Defoe?s The Family Instructor that was published in two volumes shortly before Robinson Crusoe. This example of Puritanical guide literature was primarily for didactic purposes and would have been recognised amongst Defoe?s contemporaries. The 1715 volume presents a boy who tires of his father?s attempts to Christianise and tether him, debatably portraying an embryonic Crusoe. Such treatise helped in forming the minds of fiction?s first creators, but Robinson Crusoe actualises the symbolic aspects of life observed by a puritan."

From the Paper
"The book of Exodus details a journey, marking the birth of Israel as a nation and as a church of God. God?s constant interest in human affairs pushes Him to lead His people away from Egypt towards redemption, helping to restore them to their intended purpose. He provides them His servant, Moses, to help them understand His power and love. He leads them away from bondage and sin and introduces them to His law and, in this, His instructions for living. The book of Exodus displays deliverance, a covenant with God, and a conquest of the Promised Land."

Abstract
This paper examines "Midnight Cowboy" (1969), "Deliverance" (1972) and "Indecent Proposal" (1993) and discusses how attitudes towards sexual promiscuity and sexual behavior has changed over the 40 year period. Each film is discussed in detail and a conclusion is provided.
From the Paper
"The three films discussed above show that there have been significant changes in patterns of sexual behavior which have been reflected in popular films. The element of sexuality has always been an important part of the artist and filmmakers resources. However, the concept of sexuality changes over time. While sexuality was seen as a natural element of life that is innocent within itself but could be abused in the 1960's, we find that the films from the 1990's see sex as an intrinsically dangerous element that has closer associations with disease and money than before.

From the Paper
"Quite a variety of members belonging to the royal dynasty had their names Herod being originated in Edom or Idumea after John Hyrcanus in 125 B.C was obligated to adopt the Jewish religion (1). The Herod family ruled in Palestine as vassals of the Romans. Followed by Maccabees, the history of this dynasty mainly relates to the political history of Palestine during this whole era (1). Romans in 40 B.C made Herod I the Great, son of Antipater the king who managed to keep hold of his throne even during the times of changes in the government at Rome (1). Herod?s kingdom included Idumea, Galilee, Judea, Batanea, Samaria and Peraea, which was more or less the same size as the kingdom of David and Solomon (1). Though Herod had outstanding leadership skills, yet he was greatly detested by the Jews. One of the reasons for disliking him was his attitude toward the Maccabean dynasty to which he was linked in terms of marriage, while his impudence and brutality, infuriated Jews more (1)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the "Book of Judges" occurs between the death of Joshua and the commencement of the monarchy. The author points out that, in this portion, the reader witnesses the Israelites cyclical relationship with God: "sin-oppression-deliverance". The paper relates that 'Judges 6' tells the story of how God chose Gideon to lead the Israelites and Gideon's response to that command. The author suggests that the role of the narrator in this story is as an all knowing third person narrator who is always aware of how things actually are. The paper concludes that 'Judges 6' applies to the modern believer because he often has the same questions that Gideon had. The author underscores that Christians often wonder, like Gideon did, will God take care of me?

"When the Lord provided Israel with Canaan, the Israelites were commanded to take over the entire land. After the Israelites had gained a certain amount of land, they discontinued their conquest and allowed the rest of the surrounding areas to continue living on their land, which was contrary to the Lord's instruction. Not only did they not kill all the Canaanites, but they entered into alliances with them and began to intermarry. Canaanite idolatry had also infiltrated the Jewish people."

Abstract
This paper studies how teachers, the primary deliverers of education, foster the learning experience. The paper also examines what qualities contribute to effective instructional leadership. First, the paper discusses how an effective teacher creates a safe environment within which students can learn. Second, the paper evaluates how teachers serve as positive role models for their students when they radiate a sense of purpose. Third, the paper examines the facilitator role for teachers and how it translates into student-centered educational experiences. Fourth, the paper evaluates two of the most positive instructional theories: Constructivist learning, through which curricular activities provide a general feeling among all involved parties that learning is essentially an interactive process and differentiated learning, in which lessons and units reflect students' diverse backgrounds, needs, abilities and interests. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion of learner autonomy.
From the Paper
"First and foremost, an effective teacher creates a safe environment within which students can learn. This means demonstrating to students that they can be vulnerable and take risks without experiencing humiliation or denial. It requires teachers themselves to engage in risk-taking situations in order to prove such activities are possible and positive outcomes likely. For example, a teacher, in trying a novel teaching technique, can present the lesson with a preface indicating the risk involved while also exuding a positive attitude. A crucial component in role modeling such behaviors is showing students that the outcome of the experiment is not as important as the willingness to take a risk. By taking the initial step in trying something new, the hope is that students will follow suit in their own learning experiences. The modeling of risk-taking behaviors naturally leads to the likelihood that students will not only attempt such endeavors but will also have a frame of reference in how to conduct themselves and the types of beliefs and attitudes that are appropriate under such circumstances."

Abstract
This paper proposes a study, based on the collection of data encompassing physical, visual, perceptual and cognitive factors, to help expand current knowledge of effective interface design for the e-commerce community. The paper focuses on the reasons why users tend to scan a screen page rather than read the onscreen content word-by-word and suggests that understanding why the users scan will aid in developing strategies that would either cause the users to want to read more or enable them to scan faster and retain more.

Deliverables
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Micro-computers in homes, schools and the workplace have become the norm. The Internet has, in a little over 10 short years, radically changed the way the world does business. These changes are seen in how we shop, how we bank, how we work, how we study and how we entertain ourselves. There have been great strides in the interface design industry; however, they have mostly been implemented on an ad hoc basis and in response to an unsuccessful or ineffective interface design."
