Abstract
In this article, the writer studies the story 'So Far From God' by Ana Castillo. The writer notes that in "So Far From God", Castillo sets her work in Chicana country, and creates a mystical work of fiction that draws the reader into the story, making it nearly impossible to set down. The writer looks at the various characters in the book and then discusses the different themes of the story. Further the writer notes that the style of writing is somewhat disjointed and strange, almost like Castillo is just telling a story aloud to a friend instead of creating a novel. The writer concludes that the endurance of the human spirit and the female spirit, is what Castillo is trying to show to the readers of this particular book.
From the Paper
"The themes that are presented in the book must be discussed in some detail, because they are very important and significant. Each theme of the book revolves around one of the five female characters. Sofia, the mother, embodies the great wisdom that is seen in some individuals. She goes through so much, but she manages to retain her sanity and her sense of humor, both of which she feels are very important. The wisdom theme appears to be at the core of what Castillo is trying to show. There are, however, other themes and ideas that are embodied by the four daughters."
"Esperanza, who is the most liberated of all of the sisters, spends her college years involved with the Chicano movement and tries to better many people's lives. Despite how helpful and kind she is, she is killed covering the Gulf Crisis as a reporter for a television station. Her death is largely meaningless, and it leaves the reader without any kind of way to find redemption in the death of this character."

Abstract
From the very first pages of "So Far From God" author Ana Castillo creates a place in which the female characters can choose to triumph over the men who try to hold them back. This paper also clearly details the plot and main characters in the novel as well as the author's unique use of imagery and spirituality.
From the Paper
"Esperanza also gives herself up to the patriarchy in some ways, but she ultimately prevails over it as she wanders the earth, finally becoming the messenger that she wanted to be. After receiving her Master's degree in communications and landing a job at the local television station, Esperanza passes up a promotion to a larger market to rekindle a relationship with her ex. When that doesn't work out, she goes to an even better market, Washington D.C., where her dangerous assignment in the Middle East leads to her torture and murder. But it isn't Esperanza's fate to just be dead. She returns to the family as a spirit force, offering hope and comfort to her mother as she had once done for her."

"So Far From God", 2007.
A review of Ana Castillo's novel "So Far From God".

Abstract
This paper examines how Ana Castillo adopts folkloric and fantastical tone in her novel "So Far From God" and makes the reader feel as if he or she is part of the community life of the novel. It discusses how the novel is told in the voice of a third-person narrator who does not directly participate in the actions and how the narrator tells the reader, like a neighborhood gossip, what will transpire over the course of the chapter, as in a folktale rather than a novel.
From the Paper
"The fact that many of the characters have allegorical names, like the main protagonist's Sofi's daughters, Charity, Hope, and Faith (Caridad, Esperanza, and Fe) intensifies this sense that this is a tale of unconventional structure, like a fable with no moral, rather than a conventional novel focused on the development and evolution of a single character. Just like characters listen to tales told by wise, old women of the community like the centenarian Felicia, the reader listens to the narrator, uncertain of whether to trust her moral judgment, even when assured that the facts of the events are true.

Abstract
This paper examines the two-year U.S-Mexico War within the context of Eisenhower's history book, "So Far From God: The U.S. War with Mexico, 1846-1848". The paper examines the origins of the war, how it was perceived by the common American, and the cost of the war. The paper concludes with a summary of the pros and cons of the book.
From the Paper
"At the start of the war, in 1846, Mexico was a weak nation, made vulnerable by close to three hundred years of "autocratic Spanish rule" and by its own brutal war of independence. Mexico was a disorganized and corrupt country, and this created a "power vacuum" (xx) that was going to be taken advantage of by "some predator - if not the United States, then Britain," possibly France of even Russia. The stage for war was set when Santa Anna, angry that Sam Houston and other Americans were attacking Mexican army troops, marched into what is now Texas with six thousand men in January 1836. In March, 1836, Santa Anna's soldiers slaughtered all U.S. troops in The Alamo - and a few days later went further by massacring ("executing") 350 prisoners at Golidad (14)."

Abstract
This paper is a personal examination of the author's faith in God as a Christian, a mother, and a nurse. It discusses how, in order to cope with the immense responsibility on her shoulders, the author requires some form of divine help in order to make things work. It focuses on her career as a nurse and looks at how the field of nursing has certainly benefited a great deal from better communication, as there is a far greater emphasis than there ever was on the building up of relationships between nurses and patients. It shows how this kind of relationship, from a Christian perspective, means that there is greater spiritual interaction between the nurses and their clients.
From the Paper
"In modern society people should act according to the need of the hour, taking into consideration the wishes of the individuals involved in particular issues. There are several issues today in the field of medicine that bother the religious people who believe in preserving life no matter what the situation is. There are many complex questions that emerge as a result, and develop into unbelievably debatable issues that have gone on for years, perhaps even decades. These debates do not only cease here, they go on to encompass other related issues, and the ball of twine keeps on getting more and more knotted."

The music illustrating this transition foreshadows the momentous change occurring in Cathy's life by the use of a single instrument -- the piano interlude. The orchestral piece fades to highlight the piano solo, which signifies Cathy's new single status."

"Far From the Madding Crowd", 2005.
A look at themes of growth, self-knowledge and happiness as explored in Thomas Hardy's "Far From the Madding Crowd."
1,312 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains how Thomas Hardy examines these themes in his novel, "Far From the Madding Crowd", with the characters of Gabriel, Frank and Boldwood. It discusses how Gabriel is portrayed as a man who learns from his circumstances in life, whether he deserves them or not. He becomes a character that embodies strength and determination despite the odds. It also points out how in contrast, Frank and Boldwood are characters that do not completely develop because they choose not to.
From the Paper
"Gabriel exhibits maturity because he is willing to learn from his devastating circumstances. He does not spend a lot of time asking why or feeling sorry for himself. Instead, he processes things rather quickly and moves on. For example, he is very realistic when he accepts the fact that he alone is responsible for not insuring his sheep. One of his most admirable characteristics is the fact that he is willing to see the best of things. For instance, after he loses his flock, he states, "Thank God I am not married: what would she have done in the poverty now coming upon me!" (Chapter 5). Gabriel does not resign himself to self-pity. Instead he accepts the reality of his situation and decides to make something of it."

Thomas Hardy?s ?Far from the Madding Crowd?, 2002.
This paper traces the progression of the heroine, Bathsheba Everdene, throughout the novel, Thomas Hardy?s ?Far from the Madding Crowd?, by focusing on various stages in her life and how different incidents influenced her character.

Abstract
This paper discusses that, initially, Bathsheba is presented as the epitome of vanity and pride. The author, who feels that this book is too long and involved, describes the many transgression and errors made by Bathsheba. The paper concludes that all of these unpleasant events have a strong impact on Bathsheba, and she turns into a more responsible and wiser person, as she gains better insight into her own character.
From the Paper
"At this point Gabriel firmly resolves never to ask her for marriage again. ?No man likes to see his emotions the sport of a merry-go-round of skittishness.? (Chapter IV) Bathsheba however doesn?t change a bit initially as she moves from one silly antic to another only to attract people?s attention and make herself extremely popular with all men. In Chapter 13, she mischievously sends a valentine note to Mr. Boldwood, one man who never pays any attention to Bathsheba. He is old enough to be her father but his indifference to her beauty makes her do something absolutely undesirable so that he would start noticing her. Hardy aptly remarked, ?Of love as a spectacle Bathsheba had a fair knowledge; but of love subjectively she knew nothing.? (Hardy, Chapter XIII) This one despicable mistake of hers ultimately results in life imprisonment for Boldwood. By this time, Bathsheba?s character has not changed much. It was when Troy enters her life that we notice some transformation in her behavior. This change results from deep involvement with the Sergeant who cares nothing about her but loves to flirt outrageously."

Abstract
The paper examines Hong Kong, China, Japan, Taiwan and Korea. The paper includes country studies on these areas, including descriptions of native festivals and cultural differences. The writer discusses western fascination with the cultures of the Orient. The paper further includes a discussion on native foods and public holidays.
Outline:
Introduction
China and Hong Kong
Taiwan
Japan
Korea
References
From the Paper
"For centuries festivals in Japan have been more a way of life than a mere reason for celebration. While many of the popular festivals in Japan are based on long standing legends others celebrate the coming and passing of the seasons. Festivals in Japan are a time to relax with family members, a time to eat and drink and a time to celebrate Japan's rich spiritual culture.
They range from the bizarre - at Kanamara Matsuri the locals parade a large pink penis up and down the main street - to the spectacular - during the Cherry Blossom festival parks across Japan become awash in a sea of pink blossoms."

Clothing in 'Far From the Madding Crowd', 2001.
This essay explores how clothing illustrates the changing order of Victorian Society in 'Far From the Madding Crowd' by Thomas Hardy.
1,617 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The essay uses many examples from the text to illustrate how clothing can be used as a marker of the strong value system in the Victorian value system. It also proves how Hardy undermines such beliefs; examples are given of traditional notions of class, identity and masculinity being questionned. The essay also uses clothing to explore the subjugation of women, morality and sexuality in the Victorian era.
From the Paper
"In the Victorian era appearances were important. In order to be accepted by society, the individual needed to be seen to conform to its values. In Far From the Madding Crowd, such rules and values are evident by what is worn. Clothing, therefore, acts as another marker of society?s control over the individual. The power of such control is seen to weaken, however, as the ever-prevalent modern world begins to infect the public consciousness. As the old order disintegrates, clothing becomes an effective disguise for the individual to hide behind."

How Far did Charles I Pursue Conciliatory Policies in 1640-42 ?, 1998.

Abstract
An examination of the breakdown of the relationship between Charles and the Long Parliament. An assessment of the impact of the Army Plot, the trial and execution of Strafford and Laud, and an appraisal of the importance of the Grand Remonstrance. The paper looks at the motives of both sides, what drove them, their beliefs and their aims. An answer to the question as to whether Charles could be trusted.
From the Paper
"There is an assumption in the question that Charles I did, in fact, attempt to reconcile himself with his Parliament in the period between the calling of the Short Parliament and the outbreak of the Civil War. An examination of his actions and policies will show that while he appeared on the surface to have acquiesced in most of the situations which caused a strain in the relationship between the Crown and Parliament, his primary intention was the restoration of what he considered to be the traditional hierarchy of government. His acts and concessions to Parliament were all, according to Anderson (Aspects of History), aimed at buying himself time until he could find himself in a position to hit back at those who had limited the royal prerogative. There is an alternative view, put forward by Royalist propagandists, that Charles acted in good faith and that the falling out of 1642 was primarily due to the position that Pym and his party had found themselves in. That position, one of consistent pressure for more and greater concessions from the King, meant that Charles was the injured party and was intent on rescuing his country from the illegal acts of his Parliament. This view, which we shall look at later, is not one which carried the majority of contemporary opinion with it, especially the opinions of those in London, who saw Charles' intentions as being hostile to good government and opposed to a return of the situation pre-1625."
