Waters, who also directed hits "Mean Girls" and "Freaky Friday". The paper concludes that " Just Like Heaven" might seem like a "sweet" film that ends happily; however, this romantic comedy blends elements of mystery, laughter and pathos to create a memorable film.
From the Paper
"However, it is the secondary cast that really holds this film together and makes it sing, even though the primary on-screen roles are Elizabeth and David. Abby, Elizabeth's sister is just the right blend of caring sibling, over-tasked mother, and skeptical caretaker to make the role her own. She is funny, moving, and loving in turn, and her role may be one of the most challenging in the film, because she is the one who must make the tough decision whether to give up on her sister or not. She is convincing in the role, and confesses in the Special Features that her "favorite" director is her husband."

Abstract
In this paper, the writer considers William Blake's novel "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" as a reaction to the Enlightenment. William Blake saw the Enlightenment as favoring the rational over the imaginative and explicitly reacts to this thought process in "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell." The paper discusses how Blake contrasts science, poetry, rationality, and imagination to show the limitations and problems that privileging the rational has had by exploring the imaginative in a diabolic way.
From the Paper
"Blake dismisses the advantage that has been placed upon good over evil by taking on a diabolical voice and condemns the Church, as it has condemned men, by explaining that "All bibles or sacred codes have been the causes of the following Errors:..."6 (Plate 4), then affirming that "the following Contraries to these are true:..."6 (Plate 4). Blake uses this rejection of the bible to point out the misleading notions that the Church has caused, then blatantly writes "Those, who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be/ restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place and governs the unwilling."6 (Plate 5) Here, Blake points out the insufficiencies that "conventional moral[ity]"6 (1377) holds while restraining those who do not wish to follow, as a prediction of the breaking away from Church or State governance."

Abstract
All of faiths have a belief about what happens to your body and soul after death. This paper explores the seven different levels of heaven and the seven different levels of hell that Muslims believe in, as well as the heaven and hell that Catholic-Christians believe in. Similarities and differences in the different beliefs are brought out, and all facts are supported by the Bible, Qur'an, and/or primary sources from the religions.
From the Paper
"One of the most central things in any religion is what happens to somebody when they die. Some religions believe that nothing happens, others that the dead person?s soul is reincarnated, but most, including Islam, believe that dead souls are sent to Heaven or to Hell. Muslims believe in a physical Heaven which Allah created, as well as a physical Hell, also the creation of Allah. Heaven is located in the skies above the earth, and Hell is located underneath this earth. To better understand where one goes after their death, it is important to understand the Islamic teachings of Heaven and Hell and compare them to the Catholic teachings of Heaven and Hell found in the Bible."

'Kingdom of Heaven', 2008.
This paper analyzes the film 'Kingdom of Heaven' directed by Ridley Scott.
1,722 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that 'Kingdom of Heaven' is set in Jerusalem in the late 12th century when there was a fragile peace between Muslims and Christians. The writer maintains that rather than portraying religion as infallible as people believed in the 12th century, Scott uses a humanist approach in this film, as an example of the way things should be done. The writer discusses that the film advocates tolerance between people of different race and religions. The writer concludes that 'Kingdom of Heaven' is an enjoyable, entertaining film but also contains a deeper meaning that was intentionally included by Scott. This meaning is that tolerance and understanding are a key in helping change the unstable environment in the Middle East. Scott also shows that radical religious behavior is only detrimental to peace and serves as a catalyst for wars and conflict.
From the Paper
"In the film a bishop who is present for the speech yells that this is a blasphemous statement. In the 12th century this would certainly be considered blasphemy because it completely contradicts the entire principle of the crusades which was to recapture Jerusalem based on its holy value. Scott uses this humanist perspective to help highlight the problems religion can cause.
"Throughout Kingdom of Heaven, Scott's view of religion is apparent. Simply by showing the film with a humanist perspective, Scott is saying that religion can be problematic. Religion is one of the main themes of the film and the audience is presented with the characters of the film using religion as an excuse for anything. As with humanism, Scott's portrayal of religion being used as an excuse begins early in the film."

?The Lottery Ticket?, 2004.
A review of the short story, ?The Lottery Ticket?, by Anton Chekhov.
1,018 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 0 sources, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Anton Chekhov demonstrates that the mere thought of money can severely impact a personal relationship in his short story, ?The Lottery Ticket.? An older couple with a family holds what could be a winning lottery ticket, but resists checking the numbers while they daydream about what they might do with the money. It examines how, at first, their reaction to the possibility of wealth is joyful; but rather than share their dreams and communicate their wishes, it looks at how Ivan Dmitritch and his wife, Masha, recede into their own worlds. It attempts to show how money definitely does not buy love and how, in fact, it has the potential to destroy it.
From the Paper
"Ivan Dmitritch, who is described as ?middle class man who lived with his family,? had not previously believed in playing the lottery. Therefore, it was Masha who purchased the ticket. Her holding of the ticket is significant to this story because it signifies power. Ivan reveals his association of money with power when he tells his wife, ?It?s not money, but power, capital!? Though the couple has not even won, they perceive the mere potential of winning as a source of power. Ivan gradually comes to resent the power that Masha holds, manifested in the lottery ticket. Knowing that because she purchased the ticket she deserves to make the decisions about how to spend the money, Ivan begins to feel threatened."

"Tickets, Please", 2002.
A review of the short story "Tickets, Please" by D.H. Lawrence.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how in the early 1900's, men went to war and women went to work, marking a major change in society and gender roles. It examines the short story "Tickets, Please" by D.H. Lawrence which captures the issues and the confusion of the time and looks at how the story offers a glimpse at where the struggle began and how the changes impacted on the men and women of the time. It shows how for the modern reader, "Tickets, Please" remains as relevant as it was for the society of the early 1900's.
From the Paper
"Mention the name D.H. Lawrence and many people think of highly sexual stories. This is because several of his books were classed as obscene and taken out of print. But this obscene label was a product of the early 1900's when Lawrence was writing. If you go reading Lawrence's books hoping to find a raunchy story, you will be disappointed. To modern day standards, the stories are far from raunchy. However, they are intelligent, intellectual and honest. It is this quest for honesty that resulted in the obscene labelling. It is not a product of Lawrence adding in sexuality to try and spice up a story. Instead, it is a product of Lawrence wanting to write what is true, and trying to capture a story with all the real emotion associated with it."

Abstract
This paper examines how Mitch Albom, author of the book, ?The Five People You Meet in Heaven?, effectively illustrates the stages in life that people go through as they reach past the prime of their lives. It looks at how, using the real-life character of Eddie, Albom details his life and the events surrounding the last 50 minutes he would spend on earth. By applying theories and concepts concerning human development, the paper brings into lucidity the importance of ?Five People? in studying adulthood and aging and, more specifically, debates whether or not Eddie achieved self-actualization towards the end of his life.
From the Paper
"Upon his retirement, Eddie goes back to memories of his life on earth: how, in each event and endeavor he considers as trivial or part of the mundane, lies the truth that he has done something important for other people. His work as maintenance head, Eddie realizes, is not just a mere job of checking the machinery, nut, bolts, cables, in order to ensure that the park?s rides are functioning and safe for the passengers to ride on. Most importantly, as Albom tells his readers, Eddie has become significant for all the people in the park ?? because of the simple, mundane things Eddie had done in his life, the accidents he had prevented, the rides he had kept safe, the unnoticed turns he had affected every day?? This reflection on Eddie?s part is already part of his life review, an appreciation of the things he have done while living on earth, and how, through deep reflection of his life, he was able to achieve integrity to replace the despair that he feels in life."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the book, "Heavier Than Heaven", a biography of Kurt Cobain that was based upon medical and police reports, Cobain's personal journal entries, and over four hundred interviews with people who were very close to him during his life. It looks at how the work is a dismal description that details Kurt?s low self-esteem, his abuse of drugs, and the grunge lifestyle that took him deeper into depression, where he was able to fulfill his prophecy of self-death. It also discusses how the shocking story of the singer?s lifestyle is disturbing and entails a sad description that outlines how Cobain quickly reached the top in the rock world, but soon plummeted to the bottom in his own personal unhappiness.
From the Paper
"Cobain was a heavy user of heroin. This drug habit worked a magic that allowed the musician to hear music within his head that he might not have experienced if not on the drug. However, the use of this substance was also his downfall as he became more addicted and determined to prepare for his own suicide. He suffered from a lifelong affair with the idea of taking his own life, as a teenager he spoke of the act, he also wrote about and created paintings of death. His song lyrics contained suicidal messages and while in Rome, he made an attempt by taking a drug overdose that was foiled by his girlfriend who had him rushed to a nearby hospital where he survived the effort."

?No Telephone to Heaven?, 2002.
A look at the theme of identity in Michelle Cliff?s "No Telephone to Heaven".
1,156 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 39.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at how Michelle Cliff?s "No Telephone to Heaven" takes the truism that human beings tend to seek or derive a sense of identity from family, race, peer group recognition, nationality, and the social strictures of the world at large and applies it to the struggle of a young Jamaican woman, Clare Savage. It discusses how, by virtue of her skin color, education and experience of living in the United States and England, she is caught between three different worlds as she searches for her sense of identity. It shows how, ultimately, the novel?s main message is to demonstrate that, though nationality, race, family, sex, social class and education are strong influencing factors on an individual?s identity, a true sense of self and identity can only really be formed through a process of self-discovery and development achieved through gaining knowledge and acceptance of the truth.
From the Paper
"Michelle Cliff uses Clare?s search for her identity to trace parallels to Jamaica?s search for its own identity and to comment on the effects of colonization on the colonized. For one, the difference created between ?black Jamaica? and ?white Jamaica,? is in itself a deterrent to any forming of a national identity. It is here that interesting parallels can be drawn between Clare and the island itself. Clare is motherless and infertile. So is Jamaica. Jamaica does not have a mother (England is too different) and cannot be a mother itself as it is so torn within itself with too many different influences preventing the formation of a concrete national identity (Western Michigan University Web site)."

Abstract
This paper critiques Franz Michael's article titled "The Land System of the Heavenly Dynasty - The Taiping Rebellion: History and Documents, Volume 2: Documents and Comments" published in 1971 in Seattle and London by the University of Washington Press. In this article, the writer examines the causes for and development of the Taiping Rebellion in the mid 1800s.
From the Paper
"On the heels of the Opium War and Unequal Treaties that weakened China from the outside in, the Taiping rebellion erupted (see Appendix A). According to some researchers, this revolt was one of the bloodiest civil wars in human history killing between twenty and forty million people (Roberts, para. 1963). Due to increased foreign trade, the displacement of traditional economy decreased income due to opium importation. The Qing dynasty was unsuccessful in curbing foreign influence on China, especially with the rising influence of Westernization."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed scene analysis of the sequence immediately after the scene "The Break Up" in Todd Haynes' 2002 film, Far From Heaven. The paper discusses the characters in the film, the film's use of music and its cinematography.
From the Paper
"Immediately after the scene "The Break Up", we see Cathy walk from the warmly lit living room occupied by her husband to the unlit parlor where a window is opened onto the night sky. 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."
