Abstract
This paper outlines the life story of the entertainer Frank Sinatra also known affectionately as Ol? Blue Eyes and respectfully Chairman of the Board. It discusses how, for a first-generation Italian-American, Frank Sinatra surpassed all expectations he or his family ever had. He literally climbed to the top of the mountain of success and stayed there and even after death, he is revered. It examines some of the stories surrounding his connections to the Mafia and how he palled around with Presidents, slept with their wives, bedded practically every female star in Hollywood, had a recording career that fills a book, won an Oscar, fought for civil rights before it was a popular cause ,and helped countless people financially. It describes how he?s been known as an angel of mercy, rescuing people from life and death situations and also as a brute as well, sending guys to beat up someone who fell in his disfavor. It?s difficult at times to tell truth from fiction regarding Frank Sinatra. Nevertheless, one thing is certain, an absolute fact, Sinatra is a legend.

Abstract
This paper explains that Anne Frank in her bibliography "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl", being a typical teenage girl, was incredibly emotional. The author points out that the circumstance in which she recorded these sentiments was such that they were always overshadowed by her immense fear. The paper relates that, in the first few diary entries written in the Annex, although slightly afraid, Frank does not realize the true level of danger she is in and therefore fills page after page with detailed but mundane descriptions of daily life in the Annex. The author then explains that, as Frank matures, she begins to empathize with the apprehensiveness felt by the adults and, as a result, her fear begins to increase. The paper stresses that, in a child's mind, death is not a feasible occurrence; therefore, she can allow herself to believe that she does not fear it.
From the Paper
'In this entry, as well as many others, she discusses her constant fears of being caught by the Germans while hiding in the secret annex with her family. This entry is especially powerful because it sheds light on the fact that, in such small cramped conditions, there is little to do but let your mind wander. When put in a situation where you can not talk or laugh too loudly for fear of capture, all that one is left with is his or her thoughts and for a young girl, this can cause immense fright. As she points out on this same page of her diary, everything she says or does leads her back to thoughts of fear."

Abstract
The paper shows that with only one exception, most of director Frank Capra?s greatest movies take place during the depression, 1929-1941, or shortly after. His films are unique in that they are some of the first to display a faith in American opportunity and values in the context of institutional reform. This paper explores five Capra files in chronological order, "It Happened One Night"(1934), "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (1936), "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939), "Meet John Doe" (1941)and "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946) as summarized by author Ray Carney in his book "American Vision: The Films of Frank Capra". The paper shows how Carney illustrates these films' inclusion of characters that display the courage to act on their own conviction and to sway out of control groups to act in the interest of common good.
From the Paper
"MR. DEEDS GOES TO TOWN portrays Longfellow Deeds as a personification of small-town virtue. After inheriting $20 million from a distant relative, Deeds moves from Mandrake Falls, Vermont to a mansion in New York where he is victim not only to bureaucratic pressures and social scrutiny, but is actually threatened with being made over into someone else. Under attack by shyster lawyers with motives to steal his fortune, Deeds successfully defends himself in court so that he will be declared sane enough to distribute millions of dollars to destitute farmers. Carney?s interpretation of Capra?s motivation for this work is that given the fundamental state of affairs, the marginality, and alienation of individual in a society that he is unable imaginatively to leave, he must therefore shape some sort of public expressive performance."

Abstract
This paper takes a critical look at the artist Frank Stella. The writer portrays Stella as an important artist, whose work represents a major shift in approach at a time when such a shift was needed. The research paints a picture of Stella against the backdrop in which he lived and worked. The paper continues with descriptions of his work as the artist explored new techniques and shapes in his subjects.
From the Paper
"The point of departure for Stella in 1958 for his new approach to abstraction was the flag paintings of Jasper Johns. Using various devices, Stella emphasized the flatness of the painting pattern, abolishing the three-dimensional image, and he was uncompromising as he refused to permit the introduction of deep recession behind the picture plane. The result was that the figure-ground relationship was almost completely eliminated as the stripes and orthogonals constituting the picture echoed the contours of the format."

Abstract
This paper explains that Franks Gehry is probably the foremost proponent of the dean of American architecture Philip Johnson's "Deconstructivist Architecture". The author points out that Gehry links his work in interesting ways with the environment and with the culture of the structure's surroundings. The paper reviews the critics of several of his works: The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain; the Malibu studio and residence of artist Ron Davis; the expansion of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and the Disney Music Hall in Los Angeles.
From the Paper
"Germano Celant refers to the architecture of Frank Gehry as "idealized cities - essences of urbanity which, refracted and re-presented through Gehry's aerial vision, throws open new ways of understanding the spatial and temporal dimensions of architecture." Celant also emphasizes ways in which the buildings of Gehry seem to expand out of themselves. He is referring specifically to buildings Gehry had designed for Los Angeles when he says that they "seem to split open and break apart, to burst out of closed containers and shoot off in all linguistic directions, as if seduced by the urban eroticism of Los Angeles." Celant says that many of these structures consist of a collection of structures making up a "house-city" marked by transparency through which one can observe details by peering through "apertures or lattices, panels or filters, through chain link or glass."'

Abstract
This paper discusses the family portrayed in Maggard's song and the dynamics at work in a four-person household headed by a blind musician and his hearing-impaired wife. It discusses how the family travels the country, performing wherever they can find an audience. Despite the handicaps of both parents and the family's struggle to make a living, their relationships are strong and positive, buoyed by faith and mutual trust. It examines how, although Haggard's lyrics are fictional, they are based on his wife's experiences, and they ring true. Daddy Frank's family could have been extremely dysfunctional, yet they managed to turn their problems into strengths, demonstrating one of the most important ways in which families can be positive, healthy factors in the lives of their members.
From the Paper
"The title character in Haggard's "Daddy Frank," is a guitar player who was born blind. His wife lost her hearing to a fever. The narrator, their son, "don't remember how they got acquainted" (Haggard, 1971), but sees how "their one and only weakness made them strong" (Haggard, 1971). He and his sister, who accompanies the group on tambourine, sing with Daddy Frank; sometimes their father also plays "French harp" (harmonica). The narrator explains, "That little band was all a part of living/And our only means of living at the time" (Haggard, 1971). Daddy Frank's little combo has learned to make beautiful music together, and that music supports them."

Abstract
This paper explains that Frank J. Webb's "The Garies and Their Friends" basically deals with the abusive treatment of blacks in the north, while in the south, they are still slaves and considered property; but, this book was easier to relate to than William Wells Brown's "Clotel" ("The President's Daughter: A Narrative of Slave Life in the United States"), which dealt with the same subject matter. The author stresses that he only slightly enjoyed the book because the story was mediocre and the characters too extreme. The paper relates that the society created in "The Garies" seems to have extremes on both sides of the issue, which is true in real life as well; in 'The Garies", Mr. Garie is the extreme version of an abolitionist, married to a black woman, which at this time in history was unheard of.
From the Paper
"I find a few things in this book hard to believe. First, I don't believe that blacks lived the way they are portrayed to in the beginning of this story. The author had blacks living freely in the south. Even though he wrote it as though they were separate from the whites, I don't believe that the children so freely played in the streets and the fathers so freely owned their own shops. I think that they would have been harassed on a normal basis pushing most of them to stay indoors or some place safe. I also have a hard time with the way the Garies were living in the south. Blacks were still slaves in the south so; therefore, Mrs. Garie was a slave and so were her children. Even so, I so I don't think it would have been that easy for Mr. Gaire to treat her so kindly without his friends and neighbors criticizing him."
