From the Paper
"In the 1930’s Edgar Kaufman, a department store owner, commissioned architect Frank Lloyd Wright to build a summer house for Kaufman’s family on a plot of land in Ohio Pyle, Pa. The land is set in the woods, with a small river running through it, and plenty of rocky ledges, several of which create waterfalls. The Kaufman’s had imagined a house set downstream from the waterfalls, at a point where the falls could be viewed from below. However, their architect was a man of great creativity and genius, and it was his idea to build the house directly above the falls, so that it actually overhung them."

Abstract
This six-page undergraduate paper discusses FLW's works, but primarily Fallingwater, in the context of his life. His work is symbolic and functional - river gods and fairies are not functional and not part of organic architecture; the symbolism of FW involves nature and traditional America in the old mill. Note: you should include photos on pp. 157-161 of Smith since they illustrate what is written on p.5 of paper. Other photos included.

Embracing the Past, 2006.
This paper discusses how elements of the past, rather than being forgotten, shape society.

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at William Faulkner's quote from Act I Scene III of 'Requiem for a Nun', "the past is never dead. It's not even the past". The writer points out that the play was intended to discuss the world of the characters in a small southern town. The writer further shows that the lines from the play relayed how events of the past continuously affected people in the present and suggests that this is a continuing cycle throughout society.
From the Paper
"Although individuals may attempt to forget elements of the past, it is the past that allows society to be strengthened over time. Furthermore, due to the fact that what occurs in the past cannot be forgotten, the past continues to influence life, and therefore, remains part of the present. The concept of history demonstrates that "the past is never dead". Countries, such as the United States, are rich with historical evidence of their past. This occurs through the construction of museums, monuments, and buildings that house historical documentation."

Gatsby and Loman's Past and Future, 2008.

Abstract
The paper discusses how Jay Gatsby in "The Great Gatsby" and Willy Loman in "Death of a Salesman" are both men dreaming of a future, in large part as a reaction to the disappointments of their lives. The paper shows how Jay Gatsby conceals a past he finds inconvenient, although he understands his past and can address it honestly. The paper contrasts this to Willy Loman who tries to recapture a past, but fails because he cannot understand what that past is.
From the Paper
"Gatsby has all but buried his past, at least to those who see him. The details of his family and his relationship with it are sparse. At the beginning of chapter 6, the first mention is made of "James Gatz of North Dakota" (Fitzgerald, 64) who became Jay Gatsby when he saw a yacht resting in seductive and treacherous shallows in Lake Superior."
"His family were "shiftless and unsuccessful farm people" (Fitzgerald, 65) whom he accepted as his parents only in a bare, reluctant biological sense. In his own conception of himself, he was an invention to which he stayed faithful to his tragic end, scrupulously dedicated to what F. Scott Fitzgerald refers to as "the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty" (Fitzgerald, 65)"

Past and Present Issues on Social Security, 2006.
An analysis of past and present plans by the federal government in America relating to social security.

Abstract
This paper discusses a number of past and present plans and proposals that relate to social security in the United States. It discusses the the federal government's way of collecting social security revenue and how it has spent this revenue in the past. The paper concludes that social security will most probably not outlast the next two generations of Americans unless someone creates a feasible and well-designed plan of action to save the system.
From the Paper
"Out of all of these plans and proposals, the idea of investing Social Security revenues collected from taxes in programs and entities that pay back a return on the investment is the best solution--for the short term. If the federal government were to take the revenue gathered from Social Security taxes and spend it on carefully-chosen programs, bonds, stocks and other high-yielding investments, the money earned on these investments could be mandated by a special act of Congress or by a Presidential order to remain solvent and "untouchable" for at least twenty years. In the long-term, it is clear that Social Security will most probably not outlast the next two generations of Americans unless someone or something comes along with a feasible and well-
designed plan of action to save a system which President Roosevelt viewed as essential to the welfare and continuing growth of the United States."

This essay will explore these two books MacLeod's "No Great Mischief" and Choy's "Paper Shadows: A Chinatown Childhood" in order to show how the past is represented as a painful and ghostly reality, which can also bring restoration for the characters that seek it. In this sense, part of accessing the past and allowing it to be a helpful influence is coming to terms with its shadows and its ghosts.

"Past Due": An Analysis, 2002.
A critical reading of Anne Finger's "Past Due: A Story of Disability, Pregnancy and Birth".

Abstract
Anne Finger's memoir "Past Due: A Story of Disability, Pregnancy and Birth" represents a classic example of the feminist principle that "the personal is political". Her account of her life as a feminist, disability activist and campaigner for reproductive freedom and the story of her giving birth to a potentially disabled child, may be read on a superficial level as an exercise in autobiography. However, as this review will argue, it would be more accurate to read Finger's memoir as part of a feminist project to represent the convergence of the personal and political in contemporary feminism and thereby resist those forces that would label, categorize and dehumanize women, the disabled and the marginalized.

Understanding the Past and the Present Tenses, 2005.
This paper seeks to understand the present and past tenses within "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner and "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" by Ernest Hemingway.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Faulkner uses the rose to symbolize Emily's coming death from the results of family tragedies in the past. The author points out that, in contrast, Hemingway's story reveals how giving sanctuary to those that are less fortunate is the greater faith through the present tense. The paper relates that, by taking action now, Hemingway's tale brings to life a more positive experience of faith than appears on the surface.
From the Paper
"This literary analysis seeks to understand the present and past tenses within "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner and "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" by Ernest Hemingway. By effectively conveying the power of compassion toward the suicidal old man in Hemingway's tale, one can realize the power of the present tense to give faith and relief. In contrast to this, Faulkner shows how the past represents death and despair that Emily must undergo as her family legacy falls in the Deep South of the 19th century. The past is a powerful corrupter within "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. The story essentially takes place in the rural South after the Civil War."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Diverse educational goals, as well as varying life and economic circumstances, produce different patterns in student attendance. What was at one time the traditional college student, a white male of 18 to 20 years old, attending a four-year, liberal arts college full-time, and living on campus, is now a minority student in higher education. In addition to those students, the current college population also includes significant proportions of older students returning to school due to changes in the economy, women's roles, and work environments. Over half of the undergraduate population is over 21 years of age, and 41 percent are over 24 years of age. Another difference is the socioeconomic status of current students. This ranges from those whose families are able to finance their education fully, to adults whose incomes must also cover family expenses, to low-income students who require financial assistance. Students from lower economic and societal classes during their youth have led many of today's college students to value vocational training over learning for learning's sake. As compared to the past, women currently make up the majority of most institutions' undergraduate student bodies."

Abstract
This paper briefly describes the beginnings of the American economy, explaining that it has almost always been based on big business, and then takes a look at the evolution of the American economy in more recent times. The paper discusses the development of micro and macroeconomics and its influence on the American economy as well as the influence of Japan's economic strength and the role of financial institutions in America. The paper also discusses the general state of the American economy today and what the future holds for the economy, explaining that while there is no guarantee, America's economy in the future looks strong.
From the Paper
"It is an arguable fact that the initial American economy was built by outsiders....The Irish built the canals and tall new buildings and roads. The Chinese helped build transcontinental railroads. But, without entrepreneurs, some legitimate, some not, all this labor would have gone to waste. There were no true business giants in the rest of the world to compare with the Rockefellers, Morgans, Carnegies and Fords. Yet, the pioneers who settled this country now sat back and let hired imported cheap labor do much of the work. The American economy, as the 20th Century began, created an ever-widening gulf between the Have's and the Have-Nots. There was little sympathy for Communism as the voice of exploited workers. People like Eugene V. Debs and Norman Thomas developed Socialist political parties, but the were a distinct minority. Unions, on the other hand, began to flourish, and with them came the strong and powerful union leadership which, after World War II deteriorated into the same greedy, power-mad elite that they had organized to fight."
