Abstract
This paper is an analytical comparison of two films, "The "Thin Red Line" and "Enemy at the Gates" as both accurate portrayals of World War II, viewed from different circumstances, but both showing the horrors of war. The author also examines their common themes such as fear and immense strength and bravery.
From the Paper
"The Thin Red Line and Enemy at the Gates both accurately portrayed World War II; however, they were entirely different in the approach. In The Thin Red Line, the life of a soldier was portrayed in different ways throughout the movie. It showed some men as being nervous, antsy, and sometimes psychotic. It also showed the men who were calm, levelheaded, and who could still make normal decisions under the stress. One thing that all of them had in common was their fear, and eventually strength. Some of the men were born brave; others were forced to be brave."

From the Paper
"Not all companies involved with telecommunications are interested in working so intimately with Microsoft. Nokia, the Finnish cell phone manufacturer, has its own software and a rival operating system (Taylor, 2002). If Nokia is successful, consumers will have a choice between at least two software systems for expanded telecommunicating. Motorola and Qualcomm also have their own independent plans for telecommunications software. Hewlett-Packard has come out with a hand-held computer that includes a ?smart? phone. The HP Omnigo 700 can send and receive faxes and data faxes as well as short messages (Weinberg, 1995). It reminds consumers of the advent of VCR?s. For some time after VCR technology developed, two formats existed -- BETA and VHS. Consumers really didn?t know which one would emerge dominant for several years. Eventually, the needs of the industry as well as consumers demanded one standard format, and VHS won out."

"The Public Enemy" and "On the Waterfront", 2008.
A comparative analysis of the gangster movies "The Public Enemy" and "On the Waterfront".

Abstract
This paper discusses how "The Public Enemy" (1931) and "On the Waterfront" (1954) are perhaps, two of the most well known films from the early to mid 20th century. It looks at how these films portray illegal activity and gangster infiltration into the mainstream during two different decades. James Cagney plays Tom Powers, a magnetic, cocky, completely amoral, emotionally brutal, ruthless, and terribly lethal individual in "The Public Enemy", while Marlon Brando stars as Terry Malloy, an inarticulate, struggling, brutish hero and small-time ex-boxer in "On The Waterfront". The paper attempts to show how both characters are involved in criminal activity even though their differences in attitude and personality are completely opposite.
From the Paper
"The opening scene of The Public Enemy pans across views of pre-Prohibition Chicago. Exposed to this scene of life on the South Side of Chicago, are two poor Irish boys: Tom Powers and his neighborhood friend Matt Doyle. We are first introduced to Tom as he stands outside of a bar, and swigs beer from a bucket. Shortly thereafter, he is causing trouble in a department store, which draws the attention of a police officer. Tom also enjoys playing a trick on Matt's sister, by putting a stick in her path while she is roller-skating. She states of his well-known reputation: "You're the meanest boy in town... Jail, that's where you'll be some day, Tom Powers!" This scene sums up Tom's character: relentless, self-centered, and destructive, and also displays his lack of respect towards women. "

"Love Thy Enemy", 2008.
An analysis of the biblical admonition "love thy enemy".
2,203 words (approx. 8.8 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 68.95

Abstract
This paper discusses how the biblical admonition "love thy enemy" seems a simple prescription but entails a number of ramifications and contradictions that may create confusion and that also need examination. It examines how in some ways, the phrasing echoes the rule "love thy neighbor," although the statement to love one's enemy seems on the surface to be a contradiction, asking one to love that person who is problematic. It also examines how some analysts also contend that this phrase leads to some misunderstanding, while others see the phrase as a statement of one of the core principles of Christianity.
Outline:
Introduction
Socio-Historical Background
Literary Context
Word Study and Passage Analysis
From the Paper
"Jeanette Rodriguez cites this phrase as a Christian ethical command and points out that it is meant to be taken seriously to bring about change "not by dehumanizing or destroying the oppressor, but by transforming the oppressor and the structures of oppression through an ethical praxis of love" (Rodriguez 317), and the very fact that it is raised in such a way, with the seeming contradiction to love one's enemy, emphasizes both the difficulty and the importance of following this prescription. The call to "love thy neighbor" is easier to accommodate even if just as difficult to do."

Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold at Saratoga., 2002.

Abstract
Arnold, a young firebrand, clashed with the stolid, traditional Gates, even though the men were friends. Arnold's "rash, thoughtless" actions may have won the battle whose victory is often attributed wholly to Gates' maneuvers. The contrast between the two tactical styles points up a transition in American military culture from old European formalism to new guerrilla-style tactics, a result of both the character of America's forces, and the generals like Benedict Arnold who commanded them.

Abstract
This paper discusses how Ibsen criticized democracy in his plays, most specifically in "An Enemy of the People". The politician is seen as a morally corrupt individual whose only concern is himself. The masses believe the propaganda of those with authority, thus crumbling the democracy, which is supposed to be honest and fair. This term paper goes into detail of the plot of "An Enemy of the People" and reveals Ibsen's true criticisms of the society of his time.
From the Paper
"Written in 1882, the play An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen simplistically describes the timelessness of society and its unchanging conduct through the microcosm of a coast town in southern Norway. Through the protagonist, Dr. Thomas Stockmann, the workers and newspaper men of The People?s Messenger, the prominent politician of the town, Mayor Peter Stockmann, and the common citizens of the Norwegian community, Ibsen portrays the collective masses as self-involved and easily swayed toward a more favorable prospect. The politicians depict the likenesses of morally corrupt leaders, who are often considered to be present the world over. Ibsen?s juxtaposition of such complacent and hypocritical leaders and the credulous masses in An Enemy of the People creates an unsettling ambience of immorality and deceit through the intense greed of both parties. Dr. Stockmann, a recognized and honored man of research, finds himself on the wrong side of what comes to be an overwhelmingly biased debate, while even his own character flaws aid in the dismissal of his authority in the argument that is present throughout the play. In An Enemy of the People, Henrik Ibsen depicts society as a mass of individuals who fear the truth, in conjunction with the ubiquitous elements of hypocrisy and egoism of municipal authorities and the general public, which essentially apply to society regardless of era."

Abstract
This essay argues that William Wellman's 1931 film "The Public Enemy" is a film that traces the roots of crime and criminal development to social forces and environment.
From the Paper
"William Wellman's "The Public Enemy" was produced before censorship and is a graphic film of violence sex and bootlegging. Made in 1931, just after the end of the Roaring Twenties, "The Public Enemy" has two main themes. The first theme is that crime does not pay despite the lucrative ill-gotten spoils it provides to criminals. The second theme is that criminals are not born but develop due to environmental influences. The final message of the film that appears over the image of a phonograph is..."

Arthur Miller's "An Enemy of the People", 2006.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the character of Morten Kiil from Arthur Miller's "An Enemy of the People", explaining that he symbolizes the rot of the moral fiber within society. The paper describes Morten Kiil as someone who not only cannot be trusted, but who must be watched closely as well. The paper examines and summarizes passages in the story that support this description.
From the Paper
"Eating don't get you anywhere, boy" (Miller, 295). Morten Kiil's first piece of dialogue is in response to Billing's comment of Kiil's hurried eating style. Kiil is a man that does not take time to enjoy his food. He thinks that food is merely a nuisance in every-day life, which keeps him from getting to more pressing tasks. Because he "gulps his last bite" and then gets ready to leave, he clearly is not dining at the Stockmann household for the pleasure of social company (295). When asked by his daughter, Mrs. Stockmann, to stay, he responds by claiming to have business to tend to. He even goes to add: "The only reason I came over was that the butcher told me you bought roast beef today" (296). Morten did not come over to have a chat with his friends, but simply because something that he desired existed at the Stockmann household. He wants to eat the roast beef, not just because he likes it but, rather, because it is a rare dish and something that is free. Kiil's apparent cheapness can also be seen in his clothing. He is described as having a "ratty fur hat" (295). This detail regarding his attire suggests that he does not even take the time to properly maintain his clothing, or at least to buy a new fur hat. The use of the word "ratty" might foreshadow an aspect of Kiil's life that involves shabbiness."

"An Enemy of the People" versus "Inherit the Wind", 2007.

Abstract
This paper compares two plays - "An Enemy of the People," written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen in 1882 and "Inherit the Wind," written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee in 1950. It discusses the main themes of the plays and analyzes the main characters. It describes how these characters fit into the theme of the clash of good versus evil.
From the Paper
"Narrow-mindedness, the play suggests, is the true crime, but to win, all protagonists must to some degree display some of this quality. Drummond as an attorney must focus on winning in the courtroom, or at least in the courtroom of American popular opinion, not upon showing two sides of the issue. He calls for progress and for Hillsboro to "abandon our faith in the pleasant poetry of Genesis," thus reinforcing Hornbeck's portrayal of Hillsboro and Brady as behind the times, even if Drummond personally sees merit in the town's way of life and Brady's point of view. But there is no 'pure' way to win a political battle, without hurting someone. If someone is too single-minded, they risk harming and alienating people like Stockmann harms his family's livelihood, and like Brady at the end of "Inherit the Wind," who alienates most of the newspaper-reading American public. To gain a moral victory like Drummond for his client, an advocate must sometimes act against his own better, moral impulses, like making his courtroom opponent seem like a fanatic in the interests of persuasion."
