Abstract
This paper looks at underlying and alternative meanings in the poem through imagery, sound effects, figurative language, meter, features, allusion, symbolism and word choice. The paper shows how, at first glance, the poem is a simple children's rhyme, but inside are hidden many meanings, just as inside the ugly caterpillar hides a beautiful butterfly.
From the Paper
"Underneath the gentle spring night depicted in this deceiving poem is an underlying message, one of sadness and despair. Just as the glow worm loses his glow when imprisoned, the world loses its glow when one has to face the realities of life, and that is the theme the author conveys in the last line of this poem, "-So turn the world's bright joys to cold and blank disgust" (Smith). Ultimately, the author conveys there is no joy in the world, and anything joyful will eventually turn dark and disgusting."

From the Paper
"In a unique paradox, Glowing Glamour is entering an essentially untapped market by targeting the female buyer of high-end footwear and offering them glowing slippers that are created from the finest fabrics and adornments available. Prior to our entry into the market, the only similar product available was a lower priced, mass produced comfort item that was primarily marketed to children and young women, the largest of which is "Isabelle's Dreams", which offers product in the price range of $6.50 per unit to $25.95 per unit, and offers product strictly online, with individual customer orders being shipped direct via conventional consumer distribution channels such as US Postal Service and United Parcel. Our target market, differing from the competition, consists of more affluent, established women, who research indicates influence 80% of all purchases by women."

"The Worm in the Wheat", 2006.
A critical overview of Timothy J. Henderson's "The Worm in the Wheat: Rosalie Evans and Agrarian Struggle in the Puebla-Tlaxcala Valley of Mexico, 1906-1927".

Abstract
In his book "The Worm in the Wheat: Rosalie Evans and Agrarian Struggle in the Puebla-Tlaxcala Valley of Mexico, 1906-1927", Timothy Henderson recounts the story of the American Rosalie Evans who sought to prevent her family's Mexican hacienda from being overrun in the Mexican Revolution. The paper argues that while the book is a pleasure to read, that pleasure is in part derived from Henderson dramatizing events. It also shows that the plight of both Evans and the campesinos is acknowledged, but only Evans' plight is sympathized with.
From the Paper
"Henderson is aware that history is not right versus wrong. Although he describes Evans as "brave, intelligent, determined, and even compassionate," Henderson is also aware that "she was obstinate, bigoted, selfish, self-righteous, and prepared to bend the facts" (2). Clearly, Evans was no angel, but neither was she a demon. She had a legal right to the land she was trying to prevent the peasants from overrunning. At the same time, conditions on the haciendas were notoriously poor, including on Evans'. There is no denying the fact that the campesinos who worked on the haciendas of people like Evans were exploited. Henderson does pay lip service to the plight of the peasants and to the negative side of Evans' personality." "

From the Paper
""In The Cheese and the Worms," Ginzburg sets forth the story of a miller who has come into the realization of the existence of other cultures. The micro history attempts to understand how a sixteenth century miller acquired ideas about the cosmos which the Catholic Church found heretical. In the process of coming to this understanding, Ginzburg seems to find that the exposure to new cultures produced a sort of culture shock as the miller was not accustomed to ..."

Carlo Ginzburg's "The Cheese and the Worms", 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Carlo Ginzburg's "The Cheese and the Worms: the Cosmos of a Sixteenth-Century Miller", the miller Menocchio, who was charged with heresy in Italy at the age of fifty-two, and then again fifteen years later, is a tale of class conflict and how the tension between the classes in the sixteenth century was influenced by the Protestant Reformation. The author points out that this period was a tumultuous time, both socially and religiously, because of the emergence in Europe of the middle class as illustrated by Menocchio's raise from the peasant tradition to become a moderately wealthy miller. The paper states that the case of Menocchio can be seen as a reaction to an oppressive ruling class, which was unique because of the new influence of literature on lower society and because it was one of the first times that a poor, self-taught individual dared to stand-up to the ecclesiastical order on the basis of logic.
From the Paper
"Still, many people in Menocchio's social position were unable to read or write as well as he could. And certainly, very few people in his time, who were exposed to the writings in his library, reached the same conclusions he rested upon. Yet "this distinctiveness had very definite limits. As with language, culture offers to the individual a horizon of latent possibilities-a flexible and invisible cage in which he can exercise his own conditional liberty." (Ginzburg, xx). This too, is hard to deny-an individual may be considered uncommon within his culture, but it is difficult to separate him from his culture completely. So, although Menocchio held many unusual beliefs, these beliefs cannot be removed from the context they came out of. "

Abstract
Although water is essential to sustaining life on Earth, it can sometimes carry hazards to people if there are no ways to filter and disinfect the water. This paper shows that examples of places where there are problems in water filtration and disinfection are third world nations and in those with warmer climates, there is a steady occurrence of dracunculiasis (in humans) caused by the Dracunculus medinensis nematode (roundworm (Dracunculiasis), also known as ?Guinea Worm? and ?Fiery Serpent of the Israelites?. The paper shows common symptoms andteatment for round worm.
From the Paper
"The surviving larvae make their way to the lower extremities (in most cases) and continue to mature there (Despommier 59). After maturing and mating, the males, which not much is known about, apparently die off and the females continue to live. The full maturation of the females takes approximately a full year. During this time, they can grow close to or over 1 meter (100+ cm) long. The average diameter of the worm is close to 2mm, which is comparable to a spaghetti noodle. When the female is ready to release her larvae, she migrates towards the cutaneous layers of the skin and releases enzymes which create a blister (Despommier 59, Dracunculiasis). Along with this blister comes swelling, slight fever and a burning sensation (note the name Fiery Serpent) which usually drives the infected person to immerse the blistered limb in water. By immersing the blister in water, it ruptures and the larvae are released into water, thus starting the life cycle over again (Gutierrez 416, United States). If the larvae do not find a suitable host for their first stages, they die off."

Today's society is highly dependent on the information gathered and stored in computers.

From the Paper
"The medieval church entered into a different phase and experienced a lot of changes in the 16th century. This change was due since the 15th century. The Pentecostal church is said to have been responsible to conserve the three great spiritual reforms, Lutheran, Wesleyan and Pentecostal. All these revival movements were helpful to bring back to light the various Christian experiences that had disappeared since the early times of the church. This reformation started with the Lutheran Reformation of the sixteenth century. Martin Luther became one of the most famous German Augustinians. In 1506, he joined the Augustinian community in the German town of Erfurt and he also took his first vows there."

Abstract
In "Anti-virus Software Must be Free. Here's Why," Robert Vamosi bemoans the prohibitive cost of the highest quality antiviral software by the major providers. Vamosi decries the poor quality of software by lower-cost companies and portrays how, as a result, millions of computers remain vulnerable to viruses and worms. The paper shows how the ever-changing nature of computer viruses circulating around the Internet means antiviral software is useless without periodic updates. The cost of updating the software is beyond the average person's means. The paper quotes Vamosi's contention that these updates should not cost the consumer who may not realize the damage viruses can cause.
From the Paper
"At present, Microsoft has failed to realize its promise of creating such antiviral protection. Thus, Vamosi's challenge remains to the major antiviral companies, to offer a free version of high-quality antiviral product for desktop PCs specifically targeted at home users. Vamosi suggests initially teasing the customer by offering a free version of the premium software for a trial period to home users. If the customer was satisfied, then the vendor could sell it to the customer at a reasonable price. If the customer decided not to buy, the consumer could continue to use a stripped-down-but-still-functional version of the program. Unlike current free antiviral software, which Vamosi says is of poor quality, the free trial software would have to be good enough to impress the consumer: "I've received many letters from readers who've downloaded a free app only to find it didn't protect them from the latest virus or worm." (Vamosi, 2004)"
