"Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan
Introduction
In an odd sort of way, Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan are inextricably bound up with each other, even beyond the fact that both are connected to the Nation of Islam within this country. The connection seemed to come full circle when the daughter of Malcolm X was accused of being involved in a plot to assassinate Farrakhan, since Farrakhan had earlier been accused of involvement in the assassination of Malcolm X. The intent in this paper is to compare and contrast the two men, looking at their beliefs, strategies, appeal, and lives."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Louis Farrakhan has changed the eschatology of the Nation of Islam since the death of Elijah Muhammad in 1975 to a messianic format. The paper examines how the aspects of leadership in the Nation of Islam have been spiritually transmitted to Farrakhan from Elijah preventing a blood lineage from dominating the course of the organization. The paper explains how through these means, Farrakhan uses the superiority of the black race as foundation for his messianic complex in order to propel the behaviors of other world teachers such as Christ, Moses and Muhammad in Biblical lore.
From the Paper
"This study will examine the theological premise of eschatology in the teaching of Louis Farrakhan in relation to his spiritual lineage in the Nation of Islam. By analyzing the various aspects of the organizations religious orders in relation to Islam, the transference of power relies on the spiritual messianic principles of the religion. In this manner, Louis Farrakhan portends the Muslim dictates of the next generation of spiritual leaders in the 21st century. By understanding the precepts of the Muslim orthodoxy, Farrakhan exemplifies the principles of Islam by being the heir to Elijah Muhammad."

King Louis XIV of France, 2006.
This paper uses the writings of Louis de Rouvroy, duc de Saint-Simon, Jean-Baptiste Colbert and Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu to describe the court of King Louis XIV, absolute monarch of France.

Abstract
This paper explains that King Louis XIV, who reigned over France from 1643 to 1715, was one of the most infamous absolute monarchs of Europe. The author reports that, in his reign, the powers previously given to the Estates General were made obsolete thus making all of the Kings subjects, regardless of rank, pawns of the ruling dictator. The paper points out that Louis XIV had many critics who disapproved of his absolute power and censured the frivolous manner in which he ruled his court. The author relates that, through Colbert's implicit and careful diplomacy, the secret diary writings of the duc de Saint-Simon and the contrived, fictional letters penned by Montesquieu, the modern reader is presented with an accurate picture of the tensions of the times, the trivialities of the monarchs, and the discontent that was secretly raging behind the absolute monarchy.
From the Paper
"In the early years of his reign, Louis XIV had as his General of Finances Jean-Baptiste Colbert, who, it can be deduced from his writings, knew just as well as his advisors and mistresses did how to best manipulate the King, as well as provide his negative opinions on the state of the monarchy to the general public without incurring the anger or Louis XIV. Colbert, who in 1664 wished to convince Louis XIV to participate in overseas trade, while also hoping to sway the general public to be of this opinion as well, wrote of the tumultuous state of the monarchy."

King Louis XVI: Tyrant or Man?, 2002.

Abstract
This paper examines the research work by Jordan in which he presents a thorough character sketch of King Louis XVI. Jordan shows how through the role of the king, Louis accurately shows the duality that humans constantly face. Louis is at once a tyrant, and a family man; he is both treasonous and patriotic. Jordan presents both sides of Louis' character, and inevitably proves how important public perception of each side is, in evaluating the whole man.
From the Paper
"Jordan divides the character of Louis XVI into two distinct parts- Louis the Tyrant, and Louis the Man. Louis the Tyrant is the part of the king that deals with the public?s political perception of him after his acceptance of the constitution. It is this role that was the key focus within the Convention, for it was here that his ?crimes? against the state were examined. The crimes were such that Louis was referred to as a ?determined and devious man bent on destroying the Revolution.? Among his many atrocities he was accused of having ?deliberately obstructed the constitution, instructed his ministers to lie to the Legislative Assembly, sought to bribe deputies, encouraged the emigration of his friends and... tried to reestablish his authority.? This form of public thought came about mostly as a result of the enlightenment, a period of time after which it was acceptable behavior to doubt Medieval ideology. Kings were no longer beings with divine rights, and the laws that they made were no longer seen to be the orders of God. These enlightened ideas were what made criticism of the king possible in the first place. Once illuminated thought made its way into society, people began to realize some of the cruelties that the monarchy had been inflicting upon them. They began to see King Louis as a threat to the nation, not their sovereign leader. This view of him came directly from how he appeared when reigning from his throne. As Jordan makes clear, this is not the only side of his personality."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Louis? previous successes proved to be his undoing - it made him over-confident and roused the whole of Europe against him. The Nine Years War was largely his fault. The War of Spanish Succession added disastrously to the debts already incurred, although France did not suffer territorially. The result was great suffering for the people of France. Whereas in 1680 Paris had awarded Louis the title "Great", news of his death in 1715 was greeted with relief - eloquent testimony to the failures of policy in the second half of his reign. The establishment of the modern frontiers of France was one of Louis great achievements, but the cost was arguably too high for his reign as a whole to merit the title "Great"."

From the Paper
"His maturity really begins with the arrival of Billy Bones, the old captain Billy describes as having ?breath hanging like smoke in his wake as he strode off? (12). Billy seems a typical roughneck who frightens people but at the same time knows his match and backs down. When he tries to intimidate Dr. Livesey at first meeting, Billy is put in his place with, ?I have only one thing to say to you, sir,? replies the doctor, ?that if you keep on drinking rum, the world will soon be quit of a very dirty scoundrel? (10). This statement gives the reader important insight into not only Billy Bones? vulnerability against authority but also aptly describes Dr. Livesey character. He is an educated and knowledgeable man, well respected for his competence and loyalty. He always does what is reasonable and practical, unlike the impetuousness of the pirates and Jim."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
According to Maya Angelou's "Champion of the World," Joe Louis became an icon because he changed the concept of what it meant to be an American and for many he represented the American Dream. Similarly, Mohammed Ali achieved greatness and managed to overcome many of the obstacles facing him during this uneasy and turbulent period in American history to become such an American icon. This paper provides an analysis and a comparison of these two individuals and what factors contributed to their success and the part they played in providing role models for American children. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"The period during which Joe Louis and Mohammed Ali rose to fame was a difficult time for blacks in general (Stone 2000:100). During this period in American history, many white Americans actually believed that "separate but equal" facilities for African-Americans were appropriate and equitable. In this America, African-Americans were not only different, they were not entitled to use the same restrooms, the same drinking fountains, indeed the same schools as whites because they were inferior to whites. However, Joe Louis and Mohammed Ali served as clear examples that this was simply not the case."

Abstract
This paper explains that Louis Armstrong started his career by blowing on a little tin horn, the kind with which people celebrate; he could mimic some of the music he heard around his home and the kids loved the sound of the little horn. The author points out that Armstrong, who lived in an area where he heard street musicians and steamboat bands, developed a perfect pitch and began teaching himself music. The paper relates that, in his teen years, having shot a borrowed pistol into the air, he got arrested and was sent to the city's Waif Home for Boys where he came under the very capable tutorship of Peter Davis, a brass band leader, who taught him how to play the cornet. Picture.
From the Paper
"As an infant, his grandmother Josephine Armstrong raised Louis because his father abandoned him and his mother around the time of birth. He began his life struggling in the slums of New Orleans. He grew up in a bad area know as "The Battlefield" were gun and knife fights were not uncommon. At the age of seven he moved back with his mother and sister in Stormville where he worked for Jewish families for money. Now Stormville consisted of dance halls, brothels and honky tonks, it was an entertainment district where music was all around him, so he could hear music from outside his house when he woke up in the morning and when he went to bed at night."

Joinville's "The Life of Saint Louis", 2002.

Abstract
The paper questions Joinville's reliability as a source, seeing that the document was written after Louis IX's death and canonization. It ultimately concludes that, as an account written with an eye to entertainment and based solely on the personal recollections of a soldier, it should be taken with a grain of salt, but that it is a reliable indicator of European thoughts and customs in the 13th century.
