Abstract
This paper reviews the book "The Resurrection of Father Brown" by G.K. Chesterton and examines how the author presents a variety of characters, each representing a certain social and political faction and its related interests. In particular it shows how he presents two pairs of characters, one North American and one South American, to create a context of comparison and contrast and how through these characters Chesterton creates both the argument against and the defense for the role of the Church in colonial lands. It examines how Chesterton tries to reverse the notion that Catholic missions exploit the innocence and ignorance of native people by suggesting a deeper plot of exploitation perpetrated by the convergence of various conflicting factions.
From the Paper
"The first and most important character we meet in the story, the American newspaper man, Paul Snaith, displays what can in many ways, be considered a typical North American attitude. Beginning with his opinion of the ?natives,? he displays opinions symbolic of the American outlook. Displaying an infamous indifference towards other peoples and cultures, Snaith, upon encountering the locals, ?would probably have described them as natives, though some of them were very proud of their Spanish blood. But he was not one to draw any fine distinction between Spaniards and Red Indians, being rather disposed to dismiss people from the scene when once he had convicted them of being native to it (94).?

Abstract
This paper discusses the character, Goodman Brown in "Young Goodman Brown," by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The paper focuses on Goodman Brown's character and personality and his beliefs. It discusses how Brown's beliefs change and the effect that has on him. The paper also describes the plot of the story and Brown's relationship with the other characters.
From the Paper
"Soon, however, Goodman Brown learns the worst. It is not only "a wretched old woman" who is sinning, but his wife, Faith, as well. He hears the arrival of other community members and follows them. As he continues down his path something, "fluttered lightly down through the air and caught on the branch of a tree. The young man seized it, and beheld a pink ribbon." The pink ribbon falling downward from the heavenly sky towards towards hell represents Brown's loss of faith and understanding that evil exists. Brown cries, "My Faith is gone!" (Literature Network, para 27). This sentence has a double meaning. Faith is also gone from the house and is entering the forest, as well. Even Faith cannot be trusted. "There is no good on earth; and sin is but a name. Come, devil; for to thee is this world given.""

John Brown, 2003.

Abstract
This paper examines the claim that John Brown was one of the most important figures leading up to the Civil War. It examines Brown's childhood and upbringing. The writer looks at various events leading up to the Civil War and assesses whether Brown's influence was as meaningful as believed. The writer concludes that the statement is not entirely true because although Brown did add a great deal to the south's decision to secede from the union, his involvement in the massacre in Kansas and the raid on Harper's Ferry were only two of the many incidents leading to Civil War.
From the Paper
"John Brown was one of the most passionate abolitionists in United States history. He opposed slavery so strenuously that he took force into his own hands. There are some that have said he was the start of the stampede that would eventually lead to war between the North and South. John Brown did become a rallying cry for the North and brought fear to the South because of what occurred at Harper's Ferry. There are others however that believes he was only one of several contributors to the start of the Civil War."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This in-depth paper discusses the rise to power of Governor Joseph E. Brown of Georgia during the Antebellum Period (1840-1860) in American History. It argues that Brown's rise was based on his support for states' rights, his common man roots and popularity. The paper describes that his power was a championship of the common Georgian causes, slavery, and a division within the Democratic Party. It equates Brown's success with the fact that he was a true Georgian and never dealt with national politics. The paper concludes that Brown used his power as Governor to lead Georgia out of the Union, when most Georgians wanted to remain in the Union.
Table of Contents:
State Senator Joseph E. Brown and His Common Man Roots: 1849-1851
The Georgia Democratic State Convention of 1857
Governor Joseph E. Brown and the March to War: 1857-1860
The Election of Lincoln and the Georgia Convention on Secession: 1860-1861
The Georgian Joseph E. Brown: Conclusions
Bibliography
From the Paper
"A defining moment in American history was the cannon shot that could be heard across the country. At 4:30 in the morning on April 12, 1861, Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant-Beauregard (b. 1818 ? d. 1893), under the orders of Confederate President Jefferson Davis (b. 1808 ? d. 1889), opened fire on the besieged Fort Sumter in the Charleston, South Carolina, harbor, starting the American Civil War (1861-1865). The following day, Georgia Governor Joseph Emerson Brown (b. 1821 ? d. 1894) received a telegram from the newly appointed Confederate Secretary of War, Leroy P. Walker (b. 1817 ? d. 1884), informing Brown of the events in South Carolina. Walker wrote, ?I must beg you at once without more delay to furnish my requisition for troops of March 9th. . . I trust you will concur with me in the opinion that the emergency of the case demands instant action.? As Governor Brown read this letter he must have felt apprehensive. On the previous January 19th, using his power and popularity, Brown had lead Georgia out of the Union during a state convention, but now the first shots of a rebellion had been fired. This Southern Rebellion would surely lead to the creation of an independent Confederated States of America. At this point Brown must choose between the protection of Georgia and the protection of the newly born Confederate States of America. Brown quickly began writing his response to Secretary Walker."

Abstract
The paper demonstrates how Goodman Brown, the main character of Nathaniel Hawthorne's story, experiences a lifetime of paranoia and misery, leading him to a gloomy death. The paper portrays how his fears are displayed both overtly and through symbols in the story.
Outline:
Faith and Faith
Faith's Ribbons
The "Stranger"
Paranoia
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Brown's fears and paranoia can be seen through several symbols that persist throughout the story. These things can be seen through his wife, Faith; through Faith's ribbons; and through the image of his uncle. The effects that are created by the interaction of these things cause Young Goodman Brown to live his life in doubt of what he sees with his very eyes, leading him to his misery at his death."
"The most overt symbol of this story comes in the person of Brown's wife, Faith. Her name represents the central device that moves the plot: the characters' faith in God. Without Faith, Brown's life loses purpose. He is only newly married, but, in fact, he already intends to "cling to her skirts and follow her to Heaven" (Hawthorne, 1892, p. xx). Before leaving, Brown sees that Faith appears troubled at his departure; however, he decides to keep his appointed meeting, anyway."

Sports in Thomas Hughes?s "Tom Brown's Schooldays", 2002.

Abstract
This paper explains that the schoolboys at Rugby, as might be expected, play rugby football, which is quite different from American football. The author points out that competitive games are a large part of their schooling at Rugby, but they do not take the place of schooling; they are extra-curricular activities meant to tax the body as well as the mind and to keep the boys hale and healthy. The paper concludes that, today, sports in college are "big business?; whereas, in Tom Brown's day, sports were about the pride of the school and learning lessons that could be used later in life, such as teamwork and leadership skills.
From the Paper
"The book was extremely popular when it was published in 1857. Hughes essentially recreated the life he knew playing Victorian sports atschool, and readers identified with his writing ? especially young men. No one had ever written a story like this before, although several "university" novels followed "Tom Brown's" success. Hughes followed up his wildly successful book with another, "Tom Brown at Oxford," which was not nearly as popular, since so many other authors had written similar novels by the time it came out in 1861."

THe writer points out that from his struggle out of poverty to his fame late in life, Brown never compromised what he believed in. The writer concludes that Brown overcame personal difficulties and will be remembered as an influential musician that helped mold the funky sound of soul.
From the Paper
"Brown's career experiences a rebirth in the 1980s with the hit song "Living in America." This song represents how Brown never lost popularity as this song can be identified by anyone of almost any age. The lyrics in this song are profoundly American and represent patriotism similar to that which Bruce Springsteen and Lee Greenwood have enjoyed. "Living in America" also illustrates how Brown never lost his individuality. Traditional horn sections are still present along with a funky beat that resonates from his earlier tunes.

Abstract
This paper discusses and reviews Wendy Brown's book, "Regulating Aversion: Tolerance in the Age of Identity and Empire." The paper discusses the content of the book and specifically discusses Brown's perspective on tolerance. It suggests that Brown's work is biased by the writer's own decidedly biased liberal viewpoints, rather than representing a comprehensive historical analysis of the development of tolerance as we know it today.
Table of Contents:
Tolerance According to Wendy Brown
Subjugation and Society
From the Paper
"The first part of the book read like a dry political prose, steeped in political theory. However, midway through the book, Brown's style shifts to an impassioned style of writing. Brown's definition of Liberalism is an example of her passion. She paints a picture of society where our differences, held only in private drive us apart, rather than unify us. Differences would then no longer be used to allocate culture and society. Brown failed to recognize and address viewpoints that were different from her own. This weakened her argument considerably. It appears that Brown assumes that her audience will agree with her. She does not even address viewpoints, historical or contemporary that would invalidate her arguments. Brown makes her point by avoiding that which does not fit her mold."

Abstract
This paper describes the effects that the brown tree snake had on the wildlife of Guam. The brown tree snake, accidentally imported to Guam shortly after World War II, appeared all over the island and ended up killing several species of the native forest birds that lived in Guam. This paper is a historical description of the development of the brown tree snake as a plague. It details the origin of the Brown Tree Snake and the terrible effects it had on the island of Guam. Moreover, this paper shows the environmental effects on the development of the Island.
From the Paper
"Determining the number of animal species existing on the island of Guam prior to the arrival of humans has presented a distinct difficulty. From archeological excavations on the nearby island of Rota, scientists have determined that the original human colonists' domesticated animals extirpated many species thousands of years ago (Chiszar et al1997). World War II "subjected" Guam to naval bombardment so severe that some artillery fire leveled some forests (Chiszar et al 1997). After the war, extensive seeding of the island took place with an exotic legume (Leucaena leucocephala.) It permanently replaced native trees over vast areas (Chiszar et al 1997). The fauna of Guam seemed stable until the 1960's. At this time Wildlife authorities noticed the entire absence of birds from the southern one-third of the island. The boundary of the absence of birds seemed to be moving steadily northward. Birds were missing from the southern two-thirds of the island by the end of the 1970's (Enbring & Ramsey 1983). Thirteen years later, in 1983, all 10 forest species occurred concurrently only in 160 ha of mature forest beneath the cliff line at the northern tip of Guam, with a few species still occupying parts of the northern plateau (Savidge 1987). The early 1980's reveals many factors blamed for the decline in Guam's forest birds. Disease, pesticides, habitat loss, hunting, and introduced species evolve as the major suspect reasons. Elimination of the forest's mosquitoes that possibly harbor avian malaria or avian pox brought an influx of pesticide usage. During World War II to the-mid 1970's, the military used pesticides such as DDT and other chlorinated hydrocarbons to kill the mosquitoes (Enbring & Ramsy 1983). Pesticides might have caused declines in the past; therefore, it cannot be ruled out as a cause for the earlier reed-warbler extinction (Reichel et al 1992). Tests conducted in 1981 indicate low pesticide levels on Guam. Pesticides probably were not responsible for the current declines of forest birds (Reichel et al 1992). The years since 1945 have witnessed an increase in weedy species, though substantial native habitat remains in southern and northern Guam. Birds have disappeared from forests that previously supported healthy bird populations (Savidge 1987)."

Robert Browning, 2007.
This paper discusses Robert Browning as an impersonal, yet individualistic poet of the Victorian age.
1,305 words (approx. 5.2 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Robert Browning's peerless reputation among Victorian poets is linked primarily to four volumes of poetry he published over a period of twenty years during the mid-19th century. The author points out that Browning's most famous poetic form of choice is the dramatic monologue, which is a poem that is written in the voice of another person, as exemplified in poems such as "My Last Duchess" . The paper relates that Browning's poems are portraits of individuals, rather than searching self-explorations; however, these portraits tackle critical issues, which concerned the poet, such as political corruption, religious intolerance and outmoded conceptions about women.
From the Paper
"Interestingly enough, although "the central problem in Browning's love poetry is invariably one of communication between the sexes", Browning's own marriage to a fellow poet was quite happy. He married the (at the time) more famous Elizabeth Barrett Browning, after admiring her poetry, and encouraging her to elope from what was an oppressive relationship with a domineering father. The two of them escaped to Italy, making the words of one of Browning's few lyrics, "Home," written in the voice of an evident expatriate, ironic and poignant."
