Abstract
This paper examines how Graham Greene's "The Quiet American" provides an account of the activities of a well-intentioned, but misguided and naive American government agent in Vietnam during the midst of the anti-French uprising there in the early 1950s. It discusses the book from an existentialist perspective to illustrate how U.S. foreign policy has been woefully inadequate over the years, being based on a fundamental lack of understanding about other cultures, and a disregard for how the world really works. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"According to Greene, Fowler's own background and experience with colonialism and its impact on the nations involved helped him to better understand the importance of recognizing and respecting how things worked in other countries, and how the indigenous people actually lived and what they wanted in life: "The morning Pyle arrived in the square by the Continental, I had seen enough of my American colleagues of the press, big, noisy, boyish and middle-aged, full of sour cracks against the French, who were, when all was said, fighting this war" (1992:20). Pyle is an ardent follower of an American political theorist, York Harding, author of The Advance of Red China and other such works about Asia (Freely, 2001). Fowler says that he was to learn later than Pyle's respect and admiration for Harding was to the virtual total exclusion of "novelists, poets, and dramatists unless they had what he called a contemporary theme, and even then it was better to read the straight stuff as you got it from York" (21)."

Abstract
This paper expounds upon the conversion of Graham Greene to Catholicism.

Graham Greene's "The Quiet American", 2005.
A discussion of the religious elements in Graham Greene's "The Quite American".

Abstract
This paper describes the characters, plot, and friendship of the two main characters in "The Quiet American". The paper also discusses the religious aspects of the novel that are revealed in the conversations between the two main characters, Fowler and Pyle.
From the Paper
"These two men meet each other all at once and become friends because they like each other and because they are both foreign in a different land. They kind of stick together. The book is Fowler's thoughts about the friendship after Pyle turns up dead, so the book is kind of a look back at how events happened and what they meant that someone sees after things happen. He talks about the war, and how he met Phuong and Pyle and how he lives. It seems like a boring life but he does not want to go home, so he stays there and writes stories about the war. Some of them he makes up so he is not honest or a good reporter. He is a liar but he does not lie to himself. He likes Pyle but hates him too because he takes Phuong away from him. Fowler is bitter and that may be one reason that he is so sarcastic about God throughout the book. He sees other people taking solace in their religious beliefs, and wishes he could do that but he cannot. That may be one reason he is so sad."

Graham Greene's "The Power and the Glory", 1995.
This paper discusses Graham Greene's humanistic portrayal of an alcoholic priest as a flawed representative of God and Church to suffering Mexican peasants in "The Power and the Glory".
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 1 source, $ 63.95

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Graham Greene's novel "The Power and the Glory" is a humanistic study of the Catholic Church as represented by the priest/protagonist of the novel. It is likely that the leaders of the Church themselves looked at the "whisky priest" without a name and concluded that Greene was primarily writing a book about the weaknesses and corruption of the Church and its religious authority. In fact, however, Greene's humane portrayal of the priest as a man rather than as a saint is a ringing endorsement of the man's (and the Church's) role as bringer of God to the people.
Greene does not want to write simple propaganda for the Church. At the same time, it is clear from his loving portrayal of the flawed whisky priest that he has a real respect for the representatives of that Church and the good that they do in the ... "

From the Paper
"Graham Greene was a major British novelist for many decades and was noted for his inclusion of political subject matter and points of view in his works. He often wrote directly about trouble spots in the world--The Comedians was set in Papa Doc's Haiti, for instance, while A Burnt-Out Case is set in the Congo. His novel The Quiet American from 1955 is set in Vietnam, a country few Americans had even heard of in 1955 when the French were engaged in the sort of guerilla war America would face a few years later in the same country. In this novel, he offers an interesting picture of the politics of the region, of the role taken by foreign powers, and of the nature of warfare and revolution in that country. What he says in 1955 casts an interesting light not only on the role of the French in the 1950s but on what would face America in the 1960s."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine The Heart of the Matter and Journey Without Maps by Graham Greene. The plan of the research will be to set forth the outlines of narrative action in the two novels, and then to discuss by means of comparison the treatment of West Africa in the two books.
Journey Without Maps is a travelogue that is constructed in the manner of a personal memoir. The through line of action of the book is an account of Greene's six-week walking tour of the jungles of Sierra Leone, French Guinea, and Liberia, from the cities of Freetown in Sierra Leone to Grand Bassa in Liberia. Undertaken in the early 1930s, the journey is a literal description of what was then virtually unmapped geographical territory in European West Africa. Greene was accompanied by his cousin and by a group of native bearers or carriers, tribesmen..."

From the Paper
"The character of the "Quiet American," Pyle in Graham Greene's novel The Quiet American, has the best of motives in carrying out U.S. policy in Vietnam, but he nevertheless ends up as the servant of forces which bring little but corruption and destruction. This study will examine the character of Pyle, his activities in Indo-China, the policy he believes himself to be carrying out, and the actual results of that policy and his actions.
These factors are reported more or less objectively by Fowler, a reporter who is supposed to be serving not a corrupt and corrupting governmental policy, but instead the truth, or at least the truth as he sees it. Complicating the relationship between Pyle and Fowler are two important factors. First, Pyle, before his death, has taken as his mistress the woman who was.."

Abstract
This paper discusses Graham Greene's novel "The Quiet American" and director Philip Noyce's 2001 movie of the same name. The paper analyzes the themes and concepts that are presented as well as the moral and ethical issues associated with early American involvement in Vietnam and the lessons to be learned from that involvement.
From the Paper
"The involvement of the Western powers, primarily the French and the United States, in Vietnam was based on an imperial ideology that saw the West as superior and the East as inferior. As events unfolded it became clear that the ideology of the West did not apply in Vietnam. The tragic results of nation-building in the Third World by the West are examined in the Graham Greene novel,"The Quiet American" and in director Philip Noyce's movie of the same name. By viewing the Vietnamese as inferior it..."

"Break, Break, Break", 2004.
A critical analysis Lord Alfred Tennyson's "Break, Break, Break".
1,449 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 0 sources, MLA, $ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The poem "Break, Break, Break" is a powerful expression of bereavement and irrecoverable loss. It was written by Lord Alfred Tennyson, probably in 1834, following the sudden death of his very close friend, Arthur Hallam, the previous year. This paper proves a critical analysis of the poem taking into account form, style and language and the ways in which these contribute to the expression of feeling.
From the Paper
"In the first stanza, Tennyson is so paralysed by the grief he is feeling that he cannot find the words to express and release his emotions even though he wants to. 'And I would that my tongue could utter/The thoughts that arise in me'. The second and third stanzas give way to external influences on Tennyson?s feelings - such as the fisherman's boy and what he sees on the water - and are framed by his very internal emotions in his address to the sea in stanzas one and four. This circular structure of the poem creates the imagery of the circle of life and the inevitability of old age and death."

Green vs. Green, 2004.
Examines the war between environmentalists and corporations in the 1990s.
1,734 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 56.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The 1990s, in particular, was a time when environmentalists and nonenvironmentalists came to bitter loggerheads regarding the fate of the earth's natural resources. This paper shows how governments responded to pressure from both sides in a bid to appease the needs of both sides; the Greens demanded the protection of rare species and forests, and the corporations required resources to make a profit and provide employment and food for millions of people.
From the Paper
"Here it is the local Indian traditions of vegetarianism, and non-violence that work toward the tiger?s preservation as a species. The Vice-President of India?s statement underscores the need for local peoples to look toward their own traditions for answers to environmental and other questions. Problems are seen as being imposed from the outside, and thus, to be successful, the solutions must not be viewed in the same way. By appealing to traditional Hindu values, the current Indian government can counter the conflicting claims that some tigers turn man-eater, or that old and weak tigers decimate the small flocks and herds that are among the few possessions of impoverished peasants."

Abstract
In this paper the author considers the differences in the writing styles of Malraux and Greene. The study focuses on some of the better known books of both authors and dissects the writing skills of each. The author concludes with his personal opinion as to why Malraux is a better author even though Greene is more popular.
Thesis Statement
The World Between the Great Wars
The Leon Trotsky Papers
Graham Greene and the Power and the Glory
Conclusions
From the Paper
"The 1933 appearance of La Conditione Humaine wins for Malraux the coveted Goncourt Prize and establishes his reputation as an international author. The novel depicts a Communist uprising in Shanghai and the party's later annihilation in a massacre led by its former ally Chiang Kai-shek and his Nationalists forces. Once again, Malraux has alienated revolutionary heroes - Chen, a young Chinese fighter, Kayo Gisors, an Eurasian organizer, Katow, a former student of medicine from Russia along with others - find a sense of dignity and solidarity in action and death."

Ian Greene's "The Courts", 2008.
This paper is a critical review of Ian Greene's "The Courts", which examines the relationship between courts and democracy in Canada.
1,650 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in "The Courts", Ian Greene uses the major criteria of participation, inclusiveness and responsiveness to evaluate the Canadian courts and their relations to democracy. The author points out that the objective of Greene's book was to provide a rather objective picture of the state of the courts in Canada without providing a personal option; nonetheless, his personal opinions are very generalized conclusions. The paper relates a number of weaknesses to Greene's arguments and only gives this book a mild recommendation because, suggesting that, beyond presenting a general examination of the court system in Canada, the book is almost useless. The paper recommends that the book would be made more effective by Greene making changes, such as a clear statement on the democratic or undemocratic nature of the Canadian courts.
From the Paper
"There are technically three key aspects of Green's organization scheme. The first is a general strategy of focusing on the systematic nature of the courts as an institution instead of the actions of individual actors. This makes a great deal of sense considering that individual courts will vary incredibly. Therefore, the operations of one court are more then likely to differ from operations of another court. But by examining a wide range of judges, lawyers, court officers, academics, policy makers and litigants it is possible to create a better picture of the over all operations of the courts as an institution in Canadian society."

The Right and Wrong of Breaking the Law, 2002.
An examination of the philosophy of Plato with reference to following or breaking the law.
1,325 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at Plato's writing "Apology" and how it addresses the question of the morality of following or breaking laws. The writer asks whether it is immoral to break a law or if it only becomes immoral once the law broken also breaks a moral code. This question is discussed and analyzed in detail with reference to Plato's teachings.
From the Paper
"The law is a code created by man, with this code attempting to represent what is right and what is wrong. Yet there is sometimes a gap between what the law sees as wrong and what is morally wrong. Just as man is fallible, the laws created are fallible. This is recognized in Plato?s Apology where Socrates says that, ?human wisdom has little or no value? (Plato, Apology 23a). The fact that laws change over time is also a reflection of this, since if laws were definitely correct, they would remain fixed. In the end, an individual must distinguish between what is morally correct and what is lawfully correct. Socrates says that he would ?...run any risk on the side of law and justice rather than join you, for fear of prison or death, when you were engaged in an unjust course? (Plato, Apology 32b). This is Socrates statement showing he selects the morally correct path, rather than the morally incorrect path that the law dictates. In Crito it is described how the good moral path is the path that must be taken, ?the most important thing is not life, but the good life... And the good life, the beautiful life, and the just life are the same? (Plato, Crito 48b)."

Abstract
This is a strategic analysis of the possible takeover of Greene King, PLC which in the author's opinion must begin with an understanding of the current position of Goldings Venture Capital. The author explains that Greene King, PLC is engaged in the manufacture and sale of primarily beer and beer-related products so when one considers the acquisition of the company one of the first considerations must therefore become Goldings Venture Capital's position with regard to the external environmental issues.The author examines all these aspects in this paper and summarizes his findings.

From the Paper
"Thoroughly assessing economic considerations, it becomes a difficult task to take into account all considerations particularly in the times of the current World economic situation. With the upheaval in World markets - upon which Greene King, PLC heavily depends - the figures report a steady decline in profit margins for the brewer. Moreover, the factors are many and varied with many outside of the control of Greene King, PLC. "

Breaking Through the Glass Ceiling, 2007.
Questions what is stopping women from breaking through the corporate glass ceilings.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Forty years ago women in "high places" virtually didn't exist. Women physicians and lawyers, for example, were so rare that finding one caused comment and sometimes consternation. That is no longer true, of course, and leaders agree that the glass ceiling is not as strong as it once was. This paper shows that women have entered all areas of business and make up 50% of management positions, yet few women are in positions of leadership. Naturally, everybody wonders why women, in spite of their struggles, don't seem to be reaching the top. Many people argue that discrimination is the cause of women's failure to break through the glass ceiling, but this paper argues that discrimination, although still present, is not the main source of the problem.
Paper Outline:
Breaking Through the Glass Ceiling: What's Stopping Women?
What is the Glass Ceiling?
Communication Styles and the Glass Ceiling
Coping with the Glass Ceiling
Conclusion
References
From the Paper
"A good mentor helps to establish contacts, develops networking, uncovers job opportunities, gives appropriate guidance, and acts as cheerleader, coach, and critic, but allows autonomy and independence at the same time. In fact, it may be an advantage for a woman to have a male mentor. A man can give insight into how a man thinks and makes decisions. Not that women should think like men, but they do need to understand how men think in order to communicate with them better. A well-connected mentor is important for any rising executive. A mentor can explain the political structure and offer guidance for effective maneuvering."
