Abstract
This paper discusses the abuse and victimization as portrayed in the movie and determines if murder is a justifiable action in the context of a domestic violence situation. Domestic violence is an enduring problem in our society, and the paper explains how this film graphically shows how horrible abuse can be and how people react to it differently. Some make themselves victims, and some stand up to the abuse.
From the Paper
""Dolores Claiborne" is a disturbing film about the after effects of domestic abuse and victimization, and both leading women in the film are clearly suffering from living and growing up in a dysfunctional family. Dolores is not a "nice" woman at all, "Sometimes being a bitch is the only thing a woman has to hang onto in this world," and it is clear she is a strong survivor who will not be victimized, while her daughter Selena, has taken on the role of victim quite nicely. She is repressing the violence and abuse of her childhood with pills and booze, because she cannot confront her emotions about her past. Her father was an evil man, and if anyone deserved to fall down a well, it was him. In one flashback, Dolores remembers him picking up a block of wood whacking Dolores on the back with it. "Why do you make me do that?" he asks her ("Dolores Claiborne"). This is typical of the abuser; they blame the abused for their dreadful actions."

Abstract
This paper examines every aspect of city life - social, economic, political - in the ideal world. What would that city look like viewed through the eyes of champions of democracy and equality? The three philosophers' views are presented and analyzed.
From the Paper
"The city is the center of human social, economic, cultural, and political activity. The grand city has all the museums, all the shops, all the restaurants, the best roads, and an efficient government. Unfortunately, democracy is often left out of the equation. The ideal city, on the other hand, embodies direct democracy and empowers its inhabitants to do democracy. When it comes to the ideal city, Peter Kropotkin, Dolores Hayden, and Charles Fourier all approach it from different angles, resulting in different visions. But they all have the same theme in mind - democracy."

Abstract
This paper provides reactions to four of Roethke's poems: "Dolor", "My Papa's Waltz", "The Thing", and "A Walk in Late Summer". The paper describes Roethke's poetry as a pleasant, simple read for the casual reader. On the surface it is not complex and the language is easily accessible. However, the surface impressions of his poetry often give way to a deeper meaning when read more closely. The paper suggests that the beauty of Roethke's poetry is that it lends itself to reader interpretation and that the poet does not force an interpretation upon those who would seek to understand it.
From the Paper
"Theodore Roethke's poetry has is deceptively unsophisticated, as it deals with everyday matters: pencils, the narrator dancing with his father, a picnic, things seen on a walk. This apparent lack of sophistication is what keeps Roethke's poetry accessible to many readers, but as the reader probes beyond the simple surface of the poetry other, deeper meanings become apparent. Dolor Roethke tells us that this emotion is the theme of the poem, simply by its title, which means "grief." On the surface of this poem, the ordered and apparently sterile atmosphere of this setting causes the grief indicated in the title. This setting, which could be any institution from an office to a hospital, or perhaps even a university, possesses no soul."

Abstract
This paper explains that the legendary pirate, Jean Laffite, who lived from 1780 to 1825 (approximately), was born in Bayonne, France. The family eventually migrated to the Island of Espanola from where the Laffite brothers sailed the Gulf and the Caribbean and were involved in many privateering missions. The author points out that a pardon was offered to Laffite in 1814 by the British if he would assist them in attacking New Orleans, but Lafitte refused and informed the U.S. of the plans, which resulted in Lafitte fighting for Andrew Jackson in the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 and receiving a pardon from President James Madison. The paper relates that Laffite sailed to Mugeres Island, which is off the Yucatan coast, where he continued his pirating activities until sometime around the year of 1825 when he became "mortally ill," returned to the mainland, and died.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The U.S. Army and Navy attacked Laffite and captured some of his ships. Laffite still announcing his loyalty to the United States offered his assistance to the worn and weary troops of General Andrew Jackson defending New Orleans in exchange for a full pardon for himself and his men. General Jackson accepted the proposition and Laffite and his men, now called the Baratarians, fought with all their might in the Battle of New Orleans, which took place in December of 1814 and January of 1815. General Jackson said that Laffite was "one of the ablest men" in battle and a proclamation of pardon was issued by James Madison, President, for Laffite and his men."
