"CORAL DIVERS RESORT
Introduction
Scuba diving is a rapidly growing sport, and one that is beginning to involve the entire family. Coral Divers Resort had a comfortable niche in that industry, one that had been enhanced by its owner, Jonathan Greywell's promotional strategy.

Greywell found this niche by creating short weekend and midweek diving ventures ..."

Dick Diver, 2002.

Abstract
This essay looks at how F. Scott Fitzgerald?s character Dick Diver from ?Tender is the Night? takes on characteristics of both Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway from Fitzgerald's ?The Great Gatsby.? The author compares and contrasts the characters and shows that all three men learned that the reality of the past is something that cannot be avoided, only delayed.
From the Paper
"F. Scott Fitzgerald was a mosaic of the characters he created. Fitzgerald, himself, can be found in Jay Gatsby, Nick Callaway, and Dick Diver. His own personal history reflects those he gave his characters, drinking habits, social status, and affluence (Brief pg). The life style of the 1920?s in Paris is one that Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda experienced and is woven into his novel ?Tender is the Night.? Fitzgerald?s stories often reveal the lives of the ?have?s? and ?have nots,? the lifestyle and near decadence of the rich compared to the common middle classes (Brief pg). Moreover, Fitzgerald always seems to distinguish between the ?old money? and the ?new,? the aristocrats and the nouveau rich. His writings reflect his awareness of his own middle class status and his struggle to overcome humble beginnings. Fitzgerald seems to model his ?old money? characters after Zelda?s family and acquaintances, the comfortably rich, accustomed to protocol for all occasions (Brief pg). A theme that rings in most of Fitzgerald?s work is one of inevitable truth. That no matter how successful one becomes, no matter how much money one may earn, no matter how well one learns to use the power of money and status, the true self inevitably surfaces sooner or later. Jay Gatsby, Nick Callaway, and Dick Diver all experience this moment of truth when they can no longer deny who and what they are."

?The Lady Doth Protest Too Much?, 2000.
The influence of Gertrude in Shakespeare?s "Hamlet".
1,028 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay explores the relationship between Hamlet and his mother and how this is the key to his struggles throughout the play. It shows how Gertrude is the key to Hamlet?s inextricable moral entanglement that prevents him from exacting justice.
From the Paper
"Shakespeare?s Hamlet is a man fraught with a plethora of moral dilemmas. At the heart of this is his sense of estrangement from all that is familiar to him in terms of his family?s morality. Having a sense that his family is making a series of immoral judgements is disturbing enough in and of itself. What greatly compounds this unfavorable situation is the example his family is setting for himself (not to mention the nation of Denmark). However, the corruption most keenly felt by Hamlet is that of the one responsible for his own moral training: His mother."

Theophilus Presbyter's Influence on Art History, 2008.
An analysis of the ways in which Theophilus Presbyter influenced later practices of other artists, particularly looking at his treatise, "On Divers Art."
2,144 words (approx. 8.6 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 67.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the impact that Theophilus Presbyter's had on the course of painting history. The paper examines his origins and his stature as an impressive cataloguer of the preferred methods of his time as well as how he might very well have influenced the development of Jan Van Eyck's impressive body of work. The paper particularly explores how Theophilus influenced the later practices of other artists - from those working with wood in England to Renaissance masters to the notable Florentine painter, Nardo di Cione. The paper focuses on Theophilus' treatise, "On Divers Art."
From the Paper
"The importance of Theophilus's treatise can scarcely be exaggerated - at least if one is a scholar of medieval art. Specifically, On Divers Arts is widely regarded as the foremost treatise available on the painting, glass-making and metal-working arts of the Middle Ages; certainly, this the general view of John G. Hawthorne and famous medieval translator and historian, C.S. Smith, who make that bold proclamation on the cover pages of their 1979 text devoted to the path-breaking work of Theophilus Presbyter (for full bibliographic information, please see the reference list at the conclusion of this paper). In that respect, the aforementioned twelfth century work may rightly be described as not only pertinent to any understanding of medieval painting, but as the best resource available to modern-day students and scholars eager to learn more about how the panel paintings, stained glass masterpieces, and canvasses of twelfth century Europe were produced."

Modern Deep-Sea Treasure-Hunting, 2004.
A look at some of the technical breakthroughs in modern deep-sea treasure-hunting.
826 words (approx. 3.3 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 29.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how hunting for sunken treasure on the ocean floor depends, as it always has, on reports of shipwrecks written shortly after the fact, old maps, and lore passed down; it sometimes depends on locating the ships with sonar, but usually with divers simply getting in the water, swimming down and out from the search ship as far as they could. In particular, it looks at how, for the past couple of decades, treasure divers have become treasure hunters, sending down robotic ?hands?, which are capable of working much deeper than a human body, after finding the treasure with a new form of sonar, side-scan sonar.
From the Paper
"Mel Fisher, in the 1980s and 1990s, was one of the most successful and famous treasure hunters. His Treasure Salvors of Florida had found the Atocha, a rich wreck in 54 feet of water off the Florida Keys. His first find, however, had been engineered with a machine he tinkered together himself. Towed beneath the search ship and shaped like a mailbox, it was metal device that could channel prop wash straight to the ocean floor where the resulting turbulence would lift tons of sediment and reveal wrecks. That find, in the 1960s, was gold doubloons from a fleet of treasure ships that sank in 1715. By the time of his big find in the early 1970s, the Atocha, early side scan sonar was available and Fisher was using it."

Plato and Courage, 2008.
This paper analyzes courage in the works of Plato (Socrates).
1,317 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper focuses on courage and personal choice in "Protagoras" and in Book IX of "The Republic" by Plato. The paper looks at the curious actions of the diver and attempts to find an explanation for this in the final lines of the dialogue between Socrates and Protagoras. The paper then turns to Book IX of "The Republic" which succeeds in offering a better explanation for the diver's behavior by stressing the actions of the man who is overcome by a desire for glory.
From the Paper
"Towards the end of the Protagoras, Socrates finally gets Protagoras to acknowledge that a man (or woman) cannot be courageous without being wise. Specifically, he asserts that cowardice is essentially an inability on the part of an individual to distinguish between what is to be feared and what is not to be feared. Proceeding a little further, Socrates maintains that this ability to ascertain what is genuinely deserving of one's fear and what is not deserving of one's fear is best described as wisdom - a quality, again, that is associated with the brave (Plato, 360c5-361d6). Given the exchange between Socrates and Protagoras at the end of the dialogue, it is clear that the subject in our hypothetical situation has experienced a sudden loss of courage."

Lifestyle of the Ichthyosaur, 2004.

»

Abstract
This paper looks at the habits and characteristics of the ichthyosaur, which is a family of marine reptiles that existed during the same era as the dinosaurs. The paper looks at the lifestyle of the species and focuses on various extinction theories.
Introduction
Well-Adapted to Ocean Life
Diet
Reproduction
Locomotion
Deep Divers
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Ichthyosaur fossils were discovered in the late nineteenth century, before the first dinosaur fossils were discovered, and received little acclaim. It wasn?t until the recent discovery a few years ago of a small amount of new specimens in Japan and China that a wider interest in ichthyosaurs? was revived. The ichthyosaur is a fish-shaped tetrapod of the diapsid family. Tetrapod means four-limbed vertebrate. Diapsids are classified as having two openings in the skull and is a classification that encompasses reptiles and birds. There is much fossil evidence to support the conclusion that ichthyosaurs were descended from terrestrial, or land-dwelling, reptiles. One such example is that Ichthyosaurs were air-breathers like cetaceans."

F. Scott Fitzgerald?s ?Tender is the Night?, 2004.
This paper discusses one of F. Scott Fitzgerald?s last novels, ?Tender is the Night?, and focuses not on a socioeconomic trope, but rather a psychological one.
2,220 words (approx. 8.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 68.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, unlike earlier novels, Fitzgerald's ?Tender is the Night? pays more attention to internalized issues instead of focusing solely on the wealth of the characters as the means by which they express themselves. The author points out that, in this manner, Fitzgerald brings the reader closer to the characters he creates, characters who operate with less flash and dazzle and more strain and spontaneity. The paper relates that the main conflict of the novel lies in Dick Diver?s complete collapse as his life changes from that of an affluent and respected doctor to a humiliated, alcoholic outcast.
From the Paper
"At this point, as it seems to be moving towards an inevitable climax in which the couple comes to a resolution, the novel surprises the reader by going back in time several years and exploring Dick?s career as a doctor, the Great War, and the early relationship between Dick and Nicole. We see that Dick is no stranger to Europe, as he was stationed
there when in the US Army. More of an intellectual than a soldier, Dick spends the war as a doctor in France and Germany. The reader is introduced to the character of Franz Gregorovius, Dick?s business partner and friend, who, though the two have much in common initially, acts as a rational foil to Dick during his later unraveling. Dick meets
Nicole when she is a patient at their clinic, and writes to her while in France."

Abstract
This paper examines sociological theories in relation to Olympic diver Greg Louganis. Louganis' life as a homosexual and an individual with dyslexia is considered in terms of his place in a society with rigid norms. Additionally, his autobiography is used to explore these ideas.
From the Paper
"Greg Louganis, a four time Olympic diving gold medallist, finally was capable of presenting the story of his life to the public through his novel, "Breaking the Surface: The Story of Greg Louganis." Louganis' open discussion of his sexuality, dyslexia, and inability to be accepted within the social order for the majority of his life altered the public image that Louganis believed he was forced to present throughout his athletic career. This was due to the fact that society was structured in a manner that opposed different cultures, as well as individuals that did not fit into the societal norm of the time. Due to this primary factor Louganis' life can be examined within the scope of sociological theories that not only explain many of the choices that Louganis made in his lifetime, but also his ability to change his life in recent years and begin to live in a manner that expresses his...."

"Tender Is the Night", 2007.
This paper analyzes "Tender Is the Night" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
1,655 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how "Tender Is the Night" focuses on the theme of wealth and, implicitly, the corruption it brings to people's lives. The paper details the tragic story of the young and beautiful actress Rosemary Hoyt and the stylish, elegant couple Dick and Nicole Diver. The paper examines how an excess of pleasure and drinking were the main causes that triggered the inevitable destruction of the characters in "Tender Is The Night". The paper reveals that this reflects Fitzgerald's sensitivity to the excesses of the roaring twenties prior to the Great Depression.
From the Paper
""Tender Is the Night" as well as many of Fitzgerald's other works focuses on the theme of wealth and implicitly the corruption it is bringing to people's lives. Being set in Europe during the interwar period, the novel also deals with themes particular to European history and politics, such as the ascent of the capitalism on the continent and also the effect which the wealthy Americans had on Europe. Having as background the French Riviera in the late 1920's, "Tender Is the Night" is the tragic story of the young and beautiful actress Rosemary Hoyt and the stylish, elegant couple Dick and Nicole Diver."
