From the Paper
"Polls indicate that all sides of the political spectrum seem to agree that, paraphrasing Shakespeare, "Something is rotten in the state" of America. All agree, but one person wrote an ingenious book about it: Newt Gingrich's To Renew America. This book is more than just a complaint, though. In an almost-simplistic, uncomplicated style of language that is accessible not only to intellectuals and the Washington elite, Speaker of the House Gingrich has identified the ills of our society - and has prescribed simple remedies for them. Point-by-point he writes about renewing American civilization, creating jobs, changing from a welfare state to an "opportunity society," balancing the federal budget, saving Social Security and Medicare - in short, about how he is trying to put Americans as a people and America as a state onto the right path toward the new..."

George Caitlin Stories, 2002.
Comparing two books telling the story of George Caitlin, an American writer and painter, in two completely different ways -"Paintbrush & Peacepipe: The Story of George Catlin", by Anne Rockwell and "George Catlin and the Old Frontier", by Harold McCracken
2,795 words (approx. 11.2 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 83.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows that even though the two books tell the same life story of Caitlin, each one differs most significantly in tone and style according to the vastly different audiences to which each is directed. Rockwell's book was intended for children - less pages and more illustration, whereas McCracken's book presents itself as a very authoritive piece on Caitlin's life in an artbook format.
From the Paper
"The first book, Paintbrush and Peacepipe, 86 small pages in length, with 8 brief chapters and 15 illustrations, is written for children. By comparison, the second book, George Catlin and the Old Frontier, with its 209 oversized pages might seem a vastly superior presentation of George Catlin's biography. The artbook format of McCracken's work, with its 36 color and 118 black and white illustrations, is far more authoritative and detailed in its representation of the scope of Catlin's art. Yet, Paintbrush & Peacepipe, in it's minimalist manner is a highly educational and effective piece of work."

Abstract
This paper is a character analysis of Steffler's main character in "The Afterlife of George Cartwright". It focuses on the character's traits of unloving, wild, a corruptor and himself corrupted and how they change within the novel. Cartwright begins as a just young man in the army and becomes what he had always hated, a true corruptor of society.
From the Paper
"When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters" (Hemingway, 95). Steffler achieves the creation of a person in the character of George Cartwright by blending numerous personality traits. These traits can be both pleasant, and upsetting, and either creates distance or closeness between Cartwright and the other characters. In order to make the character more realistic Steffler creates a progression in some of these traits, to create the illusion of growth in Cartwright over the span of his lifetime. Paradoxically, everything Cartwright claims to hate he later embodies. This is not entirely of his accord; his early years in the army set up his adult characteristics. His development is from a man of pride and ambition, although rough and rugged, to an uncivilized corruptor of native society. His pride and ambition are spoiled when he realizes that it is wealth that buys you promotions in the army and not skill or hard work. He grows to become the man Steffler portrays as unloving, wild, and as both corrupted and as a corruptor. "

Abstract
This essay applies the theories contained in Barber's book Presidential Character, to George W. Bush and investigates which personality profile he fits into. The author analyzes whether he is active, positive, passive or negative. Includes an in-depth look into the Bush's formative years.
From the Paper
"In his book Presidential Character, James Barber outlines certain characteristics, traits and life experiences which he feels produce particular types of presidents. Depending on these characteristics, traits and experiences, he then provides the reader with four possible categories within which to place the candidate. By ascertaining which category a contender falls into, Barber maintains that society can and should judge their suitability for presidential office. A major element in ascertaining a candidate?s category is the study of their personality. Barber feels that personality is ?patterned?, meaning that character, worldview and style all work together in its creation. Once one has an in-depth knowledge of a candidate?s personality, one is able to analyze how they would react and interact with current world forces, events and issues. Barber also stresses the importance of researching the president?s childhood and the environment in which their personality was shaped, through to the initial important decisions made in adult life."

Abstract
This paper gives an in-depth account of the life of Scottish hero, William Wallace who is more commonly known as "Braveheart" after a film was made on his life 700 years after his death. The paper draws information from several sources such as the poem "Scots Wha Hae" by
Robert Burns and the book, "William Wallace: Brave Heart" by James Mackay to show the rise and fall of this man. The paper examines Wallace's early life, his father's death at the hands of the English which fueled Wallace's desire for revenge, his outlaw years and finally his capture and horrible execution in 1305.
From the Paper
"Long negotiations took place between King Edward I of England and King Eirik II of Norway concerning the betrothal of King Edward?s five-year-old son, Edward, the Prince of Wales, and the six-year-old Queen Margaret of Scotland, King Eirik II?s daughter. Finally, they agreed upon the terms of the marriage of these two children. These negotiations resulted in the Treaty of Bingham being ratified. The one glaring problem in all of this was the fact that an English king and a Norwegian king were making very important decisions concerning the future of Scotland (Barrow). Tragically, the child queen of Scotland contracted an illness on the voyage from Norway and died shortly thereafter. Her death threw Scotland into a political upheaval."

His firsthand experience with intelligence issues as Director of the CIA enabled him to serve with great distinction and effectiveness as President of the United States, and empowered him to overcome the challenges imposed by Iraqi aggression in the Middle East and the chaotic collapse of the Soviet Union."

Abstract
In this article, the writer analyzes the portrayal of nineteenth century England in George Eliot's work, "Middlemarch" and notes that George Eliot uses a mixture of optimism and pessimism to portray human nature. The writer maintains that Eliot's goal was to create an image of ordinary human life with all its complexities. The writer then points out an optimistic aspect of "Middlemarch", that all the characters seem to marry for love, as well as a pessimistic aspect of 'Middlemarch', that it reveals how our human nature can be dramatically altered by money. The paper further relates that 'Middlemarch' expresses how it is embedded in human nature to put social expectations onto others and to look down at those of a lower class and that it is also human nature to join a community. The writer concludes that 'Middlemarch' represents the spirit of nineteenth century England through its characters.
From the Paper
"In 'Middlemarch' money often expresses an element of a characters personality. The plot moves forward while everyone is looking and asking for money where ever they can. Lydgate builds up serious debt due to his failure to manage money. Fred Vincy is not shy to ask several people for money. On the other hand, Mary Garth's refusal to take money from the dying Featherstone proves that some people still have a good honest nature.
"Eliot expresses an extremely pessimistic view of humanity with the theme of debt and money throughout 'Middlemarch'. Money can change the best of people. When Lydgate abruptly falls in love with Rosamond his life begins to go downhill. Marriage ruins Lydgate financially and idealistically, which then changes his personality. He begins to feel bitterness towards Rosamond, the women he once loved. His financial problems at home lead to problems in his profession and the scandal with Raffles death sees Lydgate as an accomplice to murder."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in his book "The Theology of the Reformers", Timothy George does not avoid presenting difficulties to believers but assists the reader in gaining faith and knowledge of God through the reformers. The author presents in detail the lives and beliefs of Martin Luther, Huldrych Zwinglu, who is considered the most important reformer in the Swiss Protestant Reformation and the only major reformer of the 16th century whose movement did not evolve into a church, and Menno Simons, who is the founder of a loosely related group of Reformation believers known today as Mennonites. The paper states that all three reformers were presented in a sympathetic light; however, George does not stop from showing the reformers belligerently holding on to their divisive approaches to the sacraments, when compromise or at least temporary concession may have been better for the church at large.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Martin Luther
Huldrych Zwingli
Menno Simons
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Martin Luther was a Christian theologian and Augustinian monk whose teachings inspired the Protestant Reformation and deeply influenced the doctrines of Protestant and other Christian traditions. Martin Luther was born to Hans and Margaretha Luder on 10 November 1483 in Eisleben, Germany and was baptized the next day on the feast of St. Martin of Tours. Luther's call to the Church to return to the teachings of the Bible resulted in the formation of new traditions within Christianity and the Counter-Reformation in the Roman Catholic Church, culminating at the Council of Trent."

Abstract
The paper addresses the insufficient and poorly managed parking at the George Brown College and relates that these parking problems can have a long-term negative impact on the overall reputation of the college and can impact student registration levels. The paper's authors undertook an informal survey of students and then conclude that the George Brown College should implement the recommendations of the students who live with the shortcomings of the campus parking issue on a daily basis. The paper itself recommends allocating funding for the construction of an underground parking facility.
Outline:
Introduction
Goals & Objectives
Background
Survey Results
Respondent Observations
Conclusions & Recommendations
From the Paper
"The campus of George Brown College has a recognized problem with parking for student and staff alike. Not only is their insufficient parking at the George Brown College, Saint James campus, but the parking that does exist is poorly managed and unfairly mediated by campus parking services. It has been determined that unless these issues are rectified in an equitable manner, they will manifest a long-term negative impact on the overall reputation of the college as well as potentially impact student registration levels. The fact of this negative impact of parking services on long-term student enrolment and performance has been substantiated in other academic research studies which have shown that such issues as campus parking form an important component of the overall academic environment of a college or university that directly impacts both student and institutional performance (Karemera, Reuben & Sillah). These issues should be taken very seriously by the college administration at risk of long-term enrolment and viability."

Abstract
This paper examines some of the major events during George H. W. Bush's presidency. The paper analyzes his accomplishments during his presidency and explains that his influence was such that it is at times difficult to remember that he was only a one-term president. In fact, some of the events that took place during his presidency, as well as his response to them, are still having an effect today. The paper concludes that President George Herbert Walker Bush is an intriguing blend of both success and failure. The paper suggests that though his military actions were swift and apparently successful in terms of accomplishing certain set goals, they were not significant in reducing the overall problems in either Panama or Iraq.
Outline:
Major Events
Panama Invasion
The Savings and Loan Bailout Scandal
The Americans with Disabilities Act
The Collapse of the Soviet Union
Persian Gulf War
Success or Failure?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Even before Bush's presidency, Manuel Noriega was considered a serious problem. The Reagan administration had attempted to provide Noriega with aid for the Contras, which he then used to send illegal drugs into the United States (Childress 83). In addition, Noriega had already been found to be involved in money laundering for the considerable drug trade that went through Panama. Finally, this dictator was considered guilty of many human rights violations of his country's people. According to Ryan J. Barilleaux and Mark Rozell, George Bush himself expressed the desire to see Noriega removed from his position, in May 1989 and, for the reasons mentioned above, the American public favored his overthrow (28)."

My oldest brother, Malcolm, inherits the family title and lands. My mother educated me at home until I was sixteen years of age. My uncle took me to Cambuskenneth Abbey at Dunipace, in east Stirlingshire to continue my education including teaching the languages of French, Gaelic, and Latin.

The author discusses the king's loss of the American colonies, England's financial difficulties and his policies during the American Revolution and the Seven Years War. The paper also discusses King George's bouts of insanity.
From the Paper
"King George III may be one of the most maligned and most understood leaders in the history of England. He is most infamous for losing the American colonies, waging wars against the French and Spanish, and ultimately going insane. However, many of the mistakes King George III allegedly made may just be products of unfortunate circumstances of the time. King George III may just have been King of England at the wrong time in world history. King George III was the King of England when they had no choice but to be involved in certain controversies that put their country in debt. This debt forced the king to pass tax laws onto the colonists of the America, which led to the Revolutionary War."
