This is followed by a discussion of some personal solutions to the sexual dilemmas identified in "Eyes Wide Shut". A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Humorists have made a fortune through the centuries writing about sex because, well, people frequently do stupid things when it comes to fulfilling their biological urges. When director Stanley Kubrick completed his movie adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle, a 1926 narrative set, many observers expected to enjoy a picture that equaled his other masterpieces such as 2001: A Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange. The movie's release in the summer of 1999 featured Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, with a Schnitzler-inspired screenplay co-authored by Kubrick and Frederic Raphael caused a brief surge of popular interest in Traumnovelle (Williamson 2001). Kubrick's movie captures the fundamental plot line of Schnitzler's novella wherein a young doctor, his confidence destroyed by his wife's confession of erotic fantasies, experiences his own exploits through the night."

Abstract
This paper reviews the movie, "Eyes Wide Shut", and the directorial style of Stanley Kubric. The paper begins with a short list of previous films directed by Kubric and a summary of critics' reviews of "Eyes Wide Shut". The paper then discusses the plot of the movie and concludes with a positive review of Kubric.
From the Paper
"When director Stanley Kubrick died suddenly in March 1999 at the age of 70, the movie industry anxiously anticipated what would become his cinematic swan song, Eyes Wide Shut; a sexual thriller featuring real-life married couple Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Released in July of 1999 to reviews that ran the gamut from praising the director's artistic vision to condemning Kubrick as an aged sexual pervert, Eyes Wide Shut was greeted with the same ambivalence as Kubrick's earlier productions. Kubrick was regarded as a painstaking perfectionist who refused to compromise his artistry to placate social convention."

Abstract
This paper will argue that Kyoto demonstrates the necessity of addressing the issue of global climate change with our eyes focused on realistic solutions that acknowledge the tendency of parties to cheat or avoid ratifying the Kyoto protocol given the size of the economic incentives at stake. Thus, through an analysis of the "lens" approach to environmental policy, it will be argued that the "technological lens" - although not ideal - is the best approach to this problem presently available.

From the Paper
"-I was- -She couldn't be- -I -Not Lilly- how?" John Hammel, a healthy, well built, yet modest business man of twenty-seven, sitting on his bed's foot, as tears streamed down his face, shakingly stuttered. His mind, irrational and mixed, failed to comprehend a bit of it. Feeling the world coming down on him at once, ignoring the ringing phone, his shaking right hand reached into the darkness, as left fingers pressed tightly into his eyes. His sock drawer opened slowly. With his hand, he attempted no searching, but with obvious intent, extended it directly through the socks, to the bottom of the drawer, from which he withdrew a .44 Magnum and placed the barrel to his temple. His sobbing became uncontrollable, and his thoughts less coherent, yet the mumbling continued, through the tears. "It's not real- It can't be- Why me? I can't go on-" John stammered on, "But- Felton- C. Wilton? Her last words-." He moved the gun to his lap and paused. The look of a new-found understanding shone upon his face. He spoke intently now to a non-existent audience, "She was telling us who it was-." The image of an idea now radiated from his face. John's sorrow turned to hatred as he arose from the bed exclaiming, "C. Wilton- C. Wilton killed my wife."
With neither a plan nor lead, John stormed toward the front yard, carward bound, Magnum in hand. Dressed in a now wet and salty business suit, he planned to return to his Mercedes and, though he knew not how, avenge his wife-."

Abstract
In Shakespeare?s ?Hamlet,? both Laertes and Hamlet take justice into their own hands. The paper explains how they demonstrate pure emotive behavior, restrained with confusion and unrestrained with determination as a means of ?righting? a death of which they deem unjust in the Elizabethan world. Both men avenge death by applying their own punishment, even though it leads to the end of both of their lives. Anger and action are the focus of this essay.
From the Paper
"As Laertes and Hamlet take justice into their own hands, they demonstrate rash behavior when infuriated in Shakespeare?s Hamlet. Laertes and Hamlet are not in fear of the consequences of their actions, for they reason that such revenge is just. Anger in a deceitful world fuel the two young men to seek revenge. Such revenge serves as an individual right to personal justice. Laertes acts upon pure emotion and fury as he avenges the death of his father. Hamlet ponders his situation indecisively before taking action, yet ultimately acts out of anger and fury. Both sons eventually refuse state justice and apply punishment where they deem fair. Their fury eventually leads to the tragic end to both of their lives. "

Abstract
This paper examines what were to be if the United States were to attack the people of Afghanistan, this would start a "vicious cycle of violence" because each side would constantly be retaliating. It argues the reasons not to launch the War on Terrorism which includes more families being hurt, a build up of hatred towards other cultures in the United States, and America would just fight back because it seems vulnerable.
From the Paper
"Imagine you are sitting at your desk in the corporate headquarters of your company. You turn on your computer, you get your papers ready, and you start your work. All of a sudden, people around you start screaming and running. You hear a large explosion, and the last thing you see is fire engulfing everything surrounding you. This scenario was the situation for thousands of people in the World Trade Center in New York City on the morning of September 11th, 2001. What happened that morning is an even that will forever stand out in the history of America and of the world. On that day, a large-scale terrorist attack occurred in which two airplanes ran into the two towers of the World Trade Center; and one ran into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. These attacks were discovered to be the work of the Taleban Movement. This is a group of terrorists that take refuge in Afghanistan. The group is led by Osama bin Laden?a wealthy, powerful man who is seen as a hero by many young, impressionable, Arabs. Despite the fact that there was an attack on the United States? symbols of freedom and power by bin Laden?s group, it would be wrong to use violent measures to retaliate. A bloody attack, or war, would lead to more unnecessary violence."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the book "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory: A Journey into the Evangelical Subculture in America," by Randall Balmer. Specifically, it looks at the author's reason for writing this book, his methodology, and his arguments. The paper shows how Balmer's book is successful in that it paints a diverse picture of evangelical America.
From the Paper
"This book opens up the "subculture" of evangelism in the United States, and makes readers more aware of who practices it, what it means, where it came from, and where it is headed. He never makes the people of his stories seem less or more than they are, and while he does have some opinions, they are not so strong that they overpower the book. The book's message is simple ? read about these people, and make up your own mind. He does say he relates more to Frank in the last chapter of the book, and Frank's beliefs are similar to his own. "What I admire about Frank, I explain, is his ability to maintain a distance from all the ephemera of American evangelicalism without discarding his faith" (Balmer 227). Ultimately, that is the bottom line of this book ? faith. The diversity of faith in the book is obvious, but each group has it, and uses it their own way."

Abstract
The article discusses Janie's uses of language and the development of her authentic voice in Zora Neale Hurston's, "Their Eyes Were Watching God". The paper argues the point of view that by the end of the novel, Janie manages to find her voice. The paper compares this to the point of view of Mary Helen Washington in an article written by her on the subject.
From the Paper
" As Janie and Tea Cake spend time talking together, sharing activities together, and simply enjoying one another's company, Janie sees that Tea Cake, a younger man with no material wealth, knows, accepts, and values her as no one else has ever done. Ironically, Tea Cake is the one man Janie marries who cannot materially "protect", her; in fact, it is Janie who provides for him. But by now, Janie knows that, contrary to what Nanny always suggested to her, who a man is, is more important than what he has. Only after Janie has loved and been loved by Tea Cake, despite Tea Cake's early death, does Janie begin to free herself, and indeed feel eager, to tell her friend Pheoby all that has happened since they last spoke. Tea Cake's love, acceptance, and understanding free Janie to reveal her selfhood, through unrestrained language, and with a mature, confident, authentic voice."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the book, ?Their Eyes Were Watching God,? by Zora Neale Hurston. It discusses the book's three major themes and illustrates how Hurston makes them work.
From the Paper
"When Hurston?s book was first published in 1937, black readers were more critical of it than white readers were. They felt Hurston portrayed Negroes as always happy ? singing and dancing, and that she did not show their lives in the South realistically. Today, English classes commonly study the book, and critics give it wide acclaim. The story takes its title from the passage, ?They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.?
"One of the main themes of the story is learning about yourself. Janie, the main character, is a mulatto woman who has lived most of her life the way other people thought she should. Her mother abandons here when she is young, and her grandmother (Nanny), raises her. Nanny has a very strict moral code, and specific ideas about freedom and marriage. Janie marries the man Nanny says she should, because he has land, and he will keep her ?safe and protected,? that is Nanny?s idea of freedom. However, Logan Killicks is not the man for Janie, and their marriage only lasts a year. "

"Their Eyes Were Watching God", 2002.
A discussion of the use of metaphors in Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God".

Abstract
This paper examines how in Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God, the author uses metaphors to show the underlying strengths and weaknesses of the main character, as well as some of the authors perceptions of how black women have traditionally been treated by men. It analyzes the four main metaphors used throughout the novel, the pear tree, the mules, Janie's hair and the title of the book itself. It looks at how all of these metaphors have great significance throughout the book and how they all have a much deeper meaning when examined in light of the main character, Janie.
From the Paper
"The first metaphor, that of the pear tree, comes from a passage in the book where Janie is lying underneath a pear tree and watching a bee land in one of the flowers. She sees it as a marriage between the bee and the flower, as well as simply a lovely sight to watch. Janie believes that this marriage between the flower on the pear tree and the bee that lands in it is symbolic of the intensity and sensuality between lovers. Because of this, Janie comments in the book that she would like to be a tree, any tree, that is in bloom. She realizes at this point what is missing from her life and from her marriages. She comments that she believed she was lying under that pear tree and witnessing the courtship between the flower and the bee in order to be party to a revelation (Bush, 1027)."

Abstract
The character of Janie in "Their Eyes Were Watching God" is a celebrated female character in both African-American and non-African-American literature. Her search for affection and her slightly feminist views at a time when women were not even allowed to vote is inspirational and beautiful. This essay shows how her two unsuccessful marriages and her final affair with Tea Cake changed her for the better and for the worse and how all of her relationships helped her on her quest for what we all so desperately desire: love.
From the Paper
"However, Tea Cake makes her no promises and has nothing to offer her except his love, differentiating himself from his predecessors who pledged to meet her every desire. Janie does not expect much of the relationship, and is therefore amply rewarded. Tea Cake's devotion and simplistic adoration for her, which may have been partially due to the gap in their ages, is a breath of fresh air to Janie after her previous marital imprisonments. She feels infinitely free to do as she wishes without losing her much-valued feelings of affection."
