Abstract
This paper discusses the case of Sacco and Vanzetti, who in 1920, were convicted for the murders of a paymaster and his guard during a robbery. On the surface, the trial seems to be straightforward. However, many believe that it represents a major miscarriage of justice in the American judicial system. The paper examines the case, showing that the verdict was unduly affected by the Red Scare, represented a clash between social radicals and conservative reactionaries, and helped lay the foundation for modern ethnic racism in the United States. On April 15, 1920 the paymaster for a shoe factory and his guard were murdered during a robbery of the factory payroll. Three weeks later Sacco--a shoe factory worker--and Vanzetti--a fish peddler--were arrested for the crime. Both were Italian immigrants and anarchists.

Abstract
This paper discusses the famous Sacco-Venzetti case, and the bigotry inherent in the court system at the time. The author presents a balanced account of the facts of the case. He/she includes remarks made by the ruling judge in order to make the case that the trial was a miscarriage of justice.
From the Paper
"The United States was celebrating its victory in World War I, and a rampant anti-Communist sentiment was building within the country, culminating in the ?Red Scare? of 1919 and 1920. The American government began a campaign of repression against all elements it deemed subversive to democracy- anarchists, Communists, and any other radical groups (Ehrmann 34). J. Edgar Hoover?s career as director of General Intelligence in the Justice Department was begun during this time; his first test and responsibility was the case of Sacco and Vanzetti (44). Nicola Sacco, a shoe factory worker, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a fish peddler, were arrested, convicted, and executed in a miscarriage of justice; the actions of the state government were motivated by inherent prejudices of their heritage and political affiliations."

Abstract
This paper delves into the themes driving Congreve's famous comedy of errors, "The Way of the World". The author discusses how the title is a reflection of the sordid facts of life in the cynical social world of the play. The paper also looks at how the play was received by society during the Restoration.
From the Paper
"William Congreve's intricate work, "The Way of the World", remains as one of the wittiest plays ever written. In his play, Congreve has created an entire gallery of characters, a world peopled with coxcombs, mistresses, fops, fools, wits and would-be wits. Driven by the numerous stratagems and relations of the four primary characters- Mirabell, Millamant, Fainall and Mrs. Marwood- "The Way of the World" successfully depicts an artificial microcosm of Restoration society."

Abstract
This paper reviews Yann Martel's "Life of Pi", the historical and political influences, as well as the anthropological references to Indian practices. This paper attempts to analyze the philosophical, linguistic, and religious concepts of this book.
From the Paper
"Yann Martel's 'Life of Pi' revolves around a sixteen year old Indian boy emigrating to Canada with his family on board a ship full of zoo animals which sinks in the middle of the Pacific Ocean but the boy is able to escape the mishap and survive for 227 days on a lifeboat accompanied by an adolescent Royal Bengal tiger he fondly calls Richard Parker. However, before the reader embarks on this journey of a tale, he is greeted by an author's note. Ordinarily, readers skip through this section of a novel, wanting more to quickly get to the juicy part of the story, after all, that is the very reason why most people read: to be entertained, to read about a story. The presence of this author's note nevertheless proves to play a significant role in the shaping of Martel's telling of the story of Pi. When Martel writes: "If we, citizens, do not support our artists, then we sacrifice our imagination on the altar of crude reality and we end up believing in nothing and having worthless dreams" (XII), he broaches on the "enduring irony at the heart of all good fiction, an irony identified in the 14th century great Dante as 'bella mensonge,' the beautiful lie" (Park). The writer is tasked with saving not only himself but everyone who reads him from believing in nothing as well as having worthless dreams. How does the writer do this? He creates a nothing, a dream, a story - which is the opposite of the crude reality we ought not to sacrifice our imagination on. The writer, in making this story, attains the beautiful lie and opens us to have "belief within our disbelief" and to replace our worthless dreams with "something of enduring value, something we recognize as possessing a kind of truth" (Park)."

»

Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of the historical context of the Sacco-Vanzetti case, for it explains the passions that were generated across America by their trial: the Russian Revolution of 1917, the accompanying patriotic fervor engendered by World War One, and the wave of European immigration that had been going on since the turn of the century.
From the Paper
"The frightening events of September 11, 2001 convinced the United States government that it was necessary to consider various measures that would limit acts of terrorism. Recent actions of the United States government, such as the Patriot Act, massive domestic wiretapping, and related surveillance methods are replays of previous government efforts to deny or minimize the civil liberties and civil rights of Americans, and reflect the intent of the Alien and Sedition Acts, Japanese-American internment, and both Red Scares."

Abstract
In this essay the writer notes that there are very few criminal justice trials which have been as remarked upon as the 1920s Braintree Robbery involving co-defendants Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, and the much later trial of Mumia Abu Jamal. The writer points out that these trials, because of the dubious verdicts reached in each instance, put American justice on trial and called into question the underlying assumptions which could bring the full wrath of the state down upon unpopular but not necessarily guilty defendants, despite a dearth of compelling evidence against them. With this in mind, the following paper examines both cases and discusses the issues of fairness, evidence and celebrity-hood which lie at the respective heart of each.

Satan, the Protagonist of "Paradise Lost", 2003.

Abstract
This paper examines how the various characters in John Milton's "Paradise Lost" interact to support Satan?s heroism and delineates how Satan himself artfully molds his image as a savior. It compares and contrasts the political structures of heaven and hell and how the political milieu of both furthers Satan?s heroic propaganda. It also scrutinizes how the text explicitly and implicitly aggrandizes the notion of Satan as a hero through language, emotional logic, and metaphorical construction. It then delves beyond the logic and structure of the text, and it highlights and decomposes the various literary methods and machinations employed in crafting the Satan, the savior and hero. It discusses the flavor of language employed to characterize and paint Satan for the readers? eyes. In conclusion, it considers whether we should accede to Satan?s supposed heroism or refute the preposterous notion of Satan as the protagonist of "Paradise Lost".
From the Paper
"In reality Satan is driven by vengeance and a bruised ego. He manipulates the truth to make it seem he naturally cares for his ?peers?, and wants to shower upon them succor from this hell, with ?deliverance?. His adopts a fa?ade of gracious concern, offering to risk his life and limb through ?dark destruction?. He pretends to understand honor and its innate connection to ?hazard?, when it was his duplicitous tongue and ill-fated schemes which prompted destruction and God?s wrath upon his brethren. In a grand finale, he piques the emotion of both his ?peer? and the audience with his brave sacrifice and commandment ?none shall partake with me?. As if he really has any sincere concern for the fallen angels."

From the Paper
"Reactions to the verdict in the 1992 Rodney King trial ranged from sober dismay to outright hostility. In the 12 months following the riots that ensued, pundits and public alike pointed fingers of blame at different parts of our judicial system--and, indeed, at society at large. The essential problem, most critics said, lay not just in Los Angeles, but at the very core of our understanding of law and law enforcement. To perhaps a majority of Americans, the King trial evinced a failure not so much of people but of institutions. We had witnessed a profound systems failure, and one with national repercussions.
Such a reaction was both understandable and misguided. The pessimism was predictable in that the verdict presented many Americans--especially minorities--with a grimly visible reminder..."

From the Paper
"The issue of taxation has been a fundamental part of our national discourse since the colonial era. From the dawn of our nation during a revolt against British taxes, to the current tax plans proposed by our presidential candidates, the discussion over national taxes has been a crucial part of our political system. Taxation is the one issue that truly affects each and every individual in our country, from the billionaire Internet magnate to the first-grader buying a stick of gum at the local five and dime."

Two Contrasting Characters.
This paper compares Thomas More's tour guide, Raphael Hythloday, of ?Utopia?, and Erasmus's teacher of rhetoric, Folly, in ?The Praise of Folly?.
925 words (approx. 3.7 pages), 0 sources, $ 32.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Erasmus?s Folly narrates the story, attempting to harshly instruct the reader about different kinds of folly in the manner of a discerning, dissecting orator, whereas, More?s Raphael Hythloday speaks as a humble, ordinary man of an extraordinary place, Utopia. The author points out that both characters, although functionally different, have an allegorical quality to their naming; Raphael is named after an angel, and Hythloday means 'sweetness all day' in Latin. The paper relates that both More and Erasmus wrote their works to highlight what they disliked about religious and moral life of their time; but, through the use of different techniques, one showed what was wrong through irony and dissection, and the other showed what a better life would be like by stressing how different it was from the real present.
From the Paper
"More the author may be writing as a critic, but Raphael Hythloday has transcended the office of critic in the universe he inhabits, while Erasmus? Folly is still dwelling in the world of the intended reader. This is another reason why More may have chosen to narrate Utopia, not purely using Raphael?s voice, but using his angelic character as kind of a guide. In contrast, Erasmus writes very much as a satirist or critic out of the Latin school of rhetoric, where orators use irony to deflate the follies of the individuals in the world around the reader. ?Tell me by Jupiter,? Folly says at numerous occasions, as if he is assuming the persona of the Roman speaker, or a teacher of the classics."
