From the Paper
"The city of Fez is located in north-central Morocco, east of the capital city, Rabat. It is roughly 150 miles south of the Mediterranean and 150 miles inland from the Atlantic coast. Sited in a valley of the Middle Atlas Mountains and fed by the Wadi Fez River, the city has an excellent environment to prosper in. The lack of adverse natural conditions has caused the city to become a cultural, religious and commercial center in Morocco. Its location at the intersection of several important trade routes has kept the city one of the most technologically advanced in Africa. What has kept this city in such high regard by the millions of Muslims who visit it every year and the 570000 people who reside there? (www.i-cias.com) The answer lies in the rich history of Fez. "

From the Paper
"In terms of the characterization of Satan specifically, Paradise Regained offers a logical development from Paradise Lost. The character of Satan is different, but it is a difference that can be explained by the time that has passed and by changing circumstances as he must deal with the issues of battle over the souls of human beings rather than with the vast war in Heaven pictured in the earlier epic. Satan thus develops as a character through the two epics and between them, and an analysis of the Satan of the two works show how this has been effected, how it is portrayed, and what effects it has on the narrative.
The Satan of Paradise Lost is a military leader, a commander of a legion of doomed angels rebelling after having been cast out of Heaven. Satan is a very real character in Paradise Lost, as he is in Paradise Regained, though he works out his inner turmoil in..."

Abstract
The present era is an age of conflicting attitudes towards religious beliefs and mundane pursuits. This paper discusses how this conflict in attitudes is aptly reflected in the works of two female authors namely, ?Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse" written by Louise Erdrich and ?Paradise? written by Toni Morrison. Both conclude that religion alone cannot lead to salvation, but both spiritual and mundane satisfaction can be found on this earth.
From the Paper
"The basic tenets of Christianity are the hope of redemption and resurrection both, which figure prominently in Louise Erdrich?s work. In ?Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse? Erdrich tells the story of Father Damien who has been assigned the task of civilizing people of Little No Horse Reservation whose beliefs are rooted in paganism. Father Damien has been assigned the task of converting these people to Catholicism to save their soul. As time passes it is revealed that the strict rules of Catholicism do not mesh easily with the native spirituality. As a consequence, Father Damien begins to ponder whether his goal of conversion is the ?right thing?."

Abstract
This paper examines John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and explains how it is more than just another entertaining tale, but rather a religious and political forum for Milton's personal views and feelings.
From the paper:
"Perhaps Paradise Lost was more than just a biblical tale of humankind?s fall from God?s grace, out of paradise. It was more, it was a religious and political forum for Milton to express his views unopposed, by using the conflict of good and evil in Paradise Lost portraying his own philosophies. With each struggle he illustrates his political and religious notions connecting them with the conflict of the main subject introduced in Book I, ?the creation, fall, and redemption of the world and humankind? (Lazzari 367). With certain influences in his life Milton?s beliefs were shaped into what they were during the composure of Paradise Lost. With these influences and these beliefs he wrote a Paradise Lost."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the central theme in this book. The main theme and thrust of this novel is in its title, "Paradise," and who actually belongs there. The all-black community of Ruby, Oklahoma, where the story takes place, is the residents' view of paradise. Their lifestyle insulates them from the outside world, and nothing bothers them in their little piece of paradise. The writer analyzes what this paradise means to all those involved in the story and how each has his own interpretation.
From the Paper
"The novel opens with these chilling lines. "They shoot the white girl first. With the rest they can take their time" (Morrison 3), and we understand this novel will not be easy or pleasant to read. Immediately, the reader wants to know why the men are killing the women, and what brought them to this point. Morrison pulls the reader into the story in those first two lines, and does not let them go until the last page of the novel."

The Search for Paradise, 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses how William Shakespeare and Andrew Marvell both hint at the idea of a golden world or Paradise in their works, ?The Tempest? and ?The Garden?, respectively. It looks at how the island in "The Tempest" is what triggers the concept of Paradise or a better world in the play and how the island is where Prospero envisions numerous possibilities; it is, for him, a place of magic, a place where he can exert control and do as he pleases. The island for Prospero is the Garden of Eden, and he is God. In contrast, it shows how the poem, ?The Garden?, by Andrew Marvell, reflects Marvell?s emotions and feelings about the repercussions of war and its impact on society, and the desire of Marvell to create an idealistic or utopian world is depicted in his reference to Paradise.
From the Paper
"The island is what triggers the concept of Paradise or a better world in his play ?The Tempest?. The island is where Prospero envisions numerous possibilities; it is for him a place of magic, a place where he can control and do as he pleases. The island for Prospero is the Garden of Eden and he is God. The feeling of the island being paradise and his ideal world can be depicted from the ending of this play when Prospero, who is obsessed with taking revenge from his brother, actually forgives him for dethroning him. Although he works very hard to work out his revenge, in the end he decides to forgive the culprit for the conspiracy against him. His intention to harm his brother is obvious nevertheless his faith and peace with the concept of this island as his paradise is what enables him It is the island which transforms Prospero into giving up his bitterness and choose forgiveness over vengeance."

Abstract
This paper attempts to define whether Johm Milton's poem "Paradise Lost" can be classified as a true epic or as in fact an anti-epic. It looks at the proper defintitions of the terms epic and anti-epic and discusses how each of term could be applied to the poem, supported by quotations from the text. It explores the role of the "hero" in an epic by defining who the true "hero" of "Paradise Lost" is. It also attempts to understand Milton's intentions in writing the poem whether he thought he was writing an an epic or whether he was satirizing and subverting the genre by writing something very different.
From the Paper
"Christ, too, is a hero. The contrast between him and Satan, however, could not be more complete. Whereas the bravery of Christ is directed at the protection of man, Satan?s aim is destruction. Which, we must ask, is the true hero of Paradise Lost?
The temptation, when faced with the contrast between the two, is to now decide that Christ is ultimately more heroic; he has, after all, more too lose, and he sacrifices himself in the name of goodness. Satan, on the other hand, has nothing left to loose, and merely wishes to reduce mankind to the same condition he has found himself in, due to his own excessive pride."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of "Paradise Lost", and how it was more than just a biblical tale of humankind?s fall from God?s grace. The author discusses how "Paradise Lost" was a religious and political forum for Milton to express his views unopposed, by using the conflict of good and evil, portraying his own philosophies.
From the Paper
" Milton indeed effectively used the conflict of good and evil in his Paradise Lost to portray his political, religious, and general philosophies. In the conclusion of his epic poem Milton shows one last personal belief when after Michael informs Adam of the history of the world up until the Second Coming of Christ, Adam and Eve shed tears as they walk hand in hand out of Paradise . Before they exit Paradise they dry their tears showing the hope for humankind, Lazzari 369. By this small act Milton reveals that he believes there is always one last hope."

?Paradise Lost?, 2002.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Universally accepted as one of the world?s foremost epics, John Milton?s "Paradise Lost" traces the history of the world from a Christian perspective. This paper deals primarily with how Milton uses the word ?hands? as metaphors or metonymies (parts for the whole) to represent Adam and Eve?s physicality and emotions. Hands represent physical work, light heartedness, joy, seduction, deceit, despair, equivocation, supplication and companionship. The paper describes how Milton also uses ?hands? effectively to represent the deep chasm between good and evil. he Son of God who intercedes on behalf of the first couple; and, is destined to die so that the Paradise lost may once again be regained is on the right hand of God. Satan, on the other hand, is on the left. Satan is condemned to ?grovel and eat dirt? like the serpent he purported to be.
From the Paper
"After both have eaten of the fruit, innocence is lost. Once again, the hand characterizes the transformation from pure love to carnal lust. One can see in the language where post-Fall Adam grabs Eve's hand and pulls her to their bed, where before it was Eve who gently took Adam's hand. Milton uses explicit metaphors. The hands of Adam and Eve mirror their personalities, souls and their emotions.
Shame and revulsion overcomes Adam and Eve. Here Milton demonstrates a marked difference between the falls of Satan and the fall of Mankind. When Satan is cast into Hell, along with his minions, he plots revenge. Satan along with Death and Sin are forced into Hell where Satan is forced to grovel like the serpent he wanted to be. Faced with eternal damnation, Eve, weak as usual, wants to commit suicide??take her life by her own hands.? Adam who is complicit is perplexed. He is not sure how, ?That from her hand I could suspect no ill (X-141), And what she did, whatever in itself.? "

Abstract
This paper examines Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein" and the allusions it makes to Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost" and Goethe's "Faust". The paper holds that "Frankenstein" includes these allusions to present the reader with a clear explanation of the inner torment of the characters. The paper expands upon the parallels between the characters in each work in detail and concludes that familiarity with "Faust" and "Paradise Lost" adds to our understanding of "Frankenstein" and makes the novel memorable and powerful.
From the Paper
"The monster's epiphany is a catalyst to his destructive path. He realizes that his creator has handled creationism in an irresponsible manner and is repulsed by Victor's utter abandonment. "'Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? (125) He also realizes that his grotesque appearance will forever condemn him to loneliness. "God, in pity, made man beautiful and alluring, after his own image; but my form is a filthy type of your, more horrid even from the very resemblance... Satan had his companions, fellow devils, to admire and encourage him, but I am solitary and abhorred" (125). This idea drawn from "Paradise Lost", that even Satan has companions, pains the monster terribly; he knows he is a good natured, genuine creature, yet he is rejected by the world."

"Paradise Lost" and Satan, 2005.
Analysis of Satan's role in John Milton's "Paradise Lost" as a hero, with a comparison of Homer's "The Odyssey".

Abstract
The argument over who is the true protagonist of "Paradise Lost" has been brewing for centuries. One would gather that John Milton, a Puritan, would have no problem casting God as the hero and Satan as the antagonist. This paper shows, however, that when looking back in history, Milton saw that most epic heroes had conflicts that prevented them from accomplishing their goals. God and his Son have no conflict, and Adam's story doesn't really begin until the Fall of Man. Therefore, Milton was forced to select Satan as the hero of Paradise Lost because he adheres to the guidelines of epic poetry set by Homer, Virgil, and others. This paper shows examples of how Milton uses and edits the tradition of these previous epics in the formation of the Devil as a hero, especially comparing the poem to Homer's "The Odyssey".
From the Paper
"Break down Paradise Lost to it bare bones, removing all religious overtones, and you have yourself an epic poem, plain and simple. The hero of this poem is a man named Satan who is banished for challenging the leadership of the clan. This man Satan makes a vow to destroy or corrupt anything created by the clan. This Satan was resourceful, making the best of what he had, very little, and accomplishing his goal. Satan may just be the nonconformist who couldn't abide by what was considered normal. In any case one must show their admiration for Satan in his unwillingness to serve in Heaven, and then in the way he accepted his resulting role in Hell."

Los Angeles: Paradise on Earth?, 2008.
This paper looks at literary works that dispel the image of Los Angeles as a veritable paradise.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes the popular image of Los Angeles and Southern California as a warm weather paradise where people are more casual, laid-back and largely willing to get along. The paper reveals that the reality is somewhat different, for the region has areas of poverty, annual forest fires and periodic earthquakes as well as times of drought and seasons of flood. The paper looks at seven literary passages and one song that challenge the image of paradise, where the writers of these works seeing a population steeped in boredom, fearful of earthquakes and living with high rates of crime.
From the Paper
"After referring to California as the land of sunshine and oranges, Nathanael West writes, "Once there, they discover that sunshine isn't enough. They get tired of organs, even of avocado pears and passion fruit. Nothing happens. They don't know what to do with their time. (West 192)" This passage also conveys the idea that the population of Southern California consists largely of immigrants from other parts of the country people who aspired to be in California and then are bored by what they find. The growth in the region has always fed this image, though naive-born Californians are everywhere just the same. The passage also suggests that people are often dissatisfied when they get what they think they want."

From the Paper
"International Level
International strategies are currently beyond the scope of PFO's strategic planning horizon. While its internet based retail operation can obviously service international markets merely by virtue of being on the web, this can hardly be considered an international strategy. PFO should refrain from any international market strategy until it is able to consolidate and expand its existing markets."
"Cooperative Strategies
PFO has existing cooperative strategies such as MRS's distribution agreement but this agreement has, in fact, hampered PFO's short to mid-term growth plans. While such cooperative sales and distribution strategies offer larger market exposure and greater sales volumes, they also reduce margins and limit market opportunities for PFO."

Paradise Lost: Satan's Humanity, 2002.
A discussion of the humanity of the character of Satan in Milton's "Paradise Lost".

Abstract
This paper examines the idea that although the portrayal of Satan in John Milton's "Paradise Lost", is as an angel, he comes across as more human than anything else. It evaluates how he displays characteristics that are typical of humans such as envy, pride, despair and regret. It shows how the first time Satan sees Paradise after his exile he is filled with despair and regret and how it is obvious that he has a conscience, but simply does not listen to it. It looks at how his pride blocks his way back to God?s kingdom since he was not willing to accept the fact that he was in the wrong and how his inability to swallow his pride only pushes him further and further away from Heaven?s gate.
From the Paper
"One major factor that keeps Satan out of Heaven is his pride. It was pride that first caused him to be thrown out of Heaven. The thought of asking for forgiveness was too much for Satan to handle. His pride wouldn?t allow him to realize that he needed to ask for forgiveness. His pride told him that he was right. His stubbornness is his downfall. It doesn?t matter how badly he feels or what he thinks about God. There is only one person who can start him back on the path to goodness and that person is he. This is why pride is the deadliest sin. It causes you to fall and then it keeps you down. The only way to return to God is to let go of that pride. It acts as a wall and you are the only person who can take it down."
