From the Paper
"Despite the success of such business concerns as Starbucks, it is tea and not coffee that ranks as the world's most popular drink next to water. This much-loved beverage is produced from the bright green, oval leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis L. Today, about 75 percent of the tea produced worldwide is black; about 23 percent is green; and approximately 2 percent is oolong. Green tea is obtained from fresh leaves that are steamed and dried and therefore retain a composition more similar to the fresh leaf. The leaves contain several polyphenolic compounds that give tea its specific taste and color. The most significant polyphenols present in tea are flavanol tannins (flavonoids), commonly known as catechins, which are very beneficial antioxidants. Antioxidant is a classification of several organic substances, including vitamins C and E, vitamin A--converted from beta-carotene-the mineral selenium and carotenoids or pigment that adds color to many fruits and vegetables. At the molecular and cellular levels, antioxidants deactivate particles called free radicals (in the form of oxygen). These can damage cell walls in addition to some cell structures and the genetic material within them."

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."

Sir Gawain's Green Girdle: Shame or Honour?, 2004.
An exploration of the significance of the green girdle in the poem, "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight."

Abstract
This paper explores the symbolic significance of the green girdle in "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." The paper argues that the girdle is a symbol both of shame and of honour at the same time. This paradoxical interpretation makes sense in light of the great dichotomy that the poem sets up between Christian and pagan values, represented by the two loci of action: the court of King Arthur and the castle of the Green Knight. From a Christian point of view, the girdle is a symbol of shame; from a pagan point of view, it is a symbol of honour.
From the Paper
"A key element in the poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is the series of contrasts that are developed throughout the poem. Beauty and youth are contrasted with ugliness and old age (ll. 966-69), feasting with fasting (ll. 897-98), the dangers of the hunt with the comforts of the bedroom (ll. 1178-79), hospitality (ll. 835-37) with cruelty (ll. 2114-17). The most significant of these contrasts is that between shame and honour, the underlying theme of the poem."

Abstract
This paper explains that transforming the concept of creating a green building, which interacts with the planet's ecosystem, into a coherent, rational and specific plan and constructing it is a challenge. The author points out that the conditions of a green building design process are low construction impact, resource efficiency through the life of the building, long lasting, nontoxic and aesthetically pleasing. The paper relates that choosing wood, especially large timbers, for a green home may seem odd; however, wood is the greenest of green building materials because it is a dense collection of cellulose that is strong, flexible, and eminently workable and is a renewable resource.
Table of Contents:
Introduction: A Wealthy Celebrity's Green Dream
The Location: The Inland Pacific Northwest
The Design: Materials and Structure
The Design: Peripheral Systems
Conclusions: The Green Home
From the Paper
"With the client's requirements in mind, the site considerations, and the aforementioned green building criteria, I have determined that the most appropriate building style for this site will be pole construction, in which large round timbers provide the skeletal support structure on which the roof and floors are hung. Pole construction has the benefit of being easily adaptable to most sites, including the steep site that the client owns. In addition, the simplicity of the construction method means that both material and labor costs are reduced dramatically, further limiting resource and energy depletion."

"Gawain and the Green Knight", 2002.
Examines the themes of virtue and vice in the medieval poem, "Gawain and the Green Knight".

Abstract
In "Gawain and the Green Knight", the story of Gawain is an allegory for Christian ideals, played out in the realms of King Arthur's codes of chivalry and ideal virtue. Gawain's experiences being tested by Morgan reveal to him his weaknesses as a man and force him to reconcile himself to the conflicts of upholding ideal values while being a less than ideal human being. This essay considers the ways Gawain's own reflections on his actions provide him with the insights to restore his honor. The essay concludes that forgiveness and humility are what redeem Gawain and enable him to act in concert with the Green Knight and not against the Green Knight, thus rationalizing the poem's surprise ending.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, 1990.
Analysis of the poem "Sir Gawain and The Green Knight" which argues that the Green Knight is the more interesting character and more deserving of being the hero than is Gawain.

From the Paper
"The ostensible hero of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is Sir Gawain, but one could argue that the Green Knight is the more interesting character and the greater moral force in the story. The action centers on the challenge thrown down by the Green Knight to the wayward Sir Gawain, and the poem as a whole questions the meaning of heroism in the social context of King Arthur's court and in literature as a whole.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight exists in a manuscript containing three other works as well--Pearl, Purity, and Patience. All are by the same unknown poet who wrote in the last half of the fourteenth century, during the time of Chaucer. Chaucer's work would serve as the beginning for a poetic tradition extending over the next five centuries, while the poet of Sir Gawain wrote in a different style off the main track of..."

"Man has been building structures since shortly after they began to emerge from caves and to explore areas outside his immediate vicinity. Many animals build structures, such as birds and beaver. Many of these structures are functional and serve only to offer protection from predators and the elements, and so it was with the first structures built by man. They were made from the limited building materials locally available and the emphasis was on functionality, little, if any thought was given to artistic form."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the events and issues surrounding the Boston Tea Party. The plan of the research will be to set forth the overall chronology of issues that emerged and established the political context in which the Tea Party could take place, and then to discuss the impact of the incident on the colonies, in particular the British responses that ultimately led to the Revolutionary War.
An appropriate understanding of the importance of the Boston Tea Party cannot be obtained without an understanding of the issues and events that preceded it. The Party, which occurred in 1773, actually had its origins several years earlier, in the wake of the French and Indian War, which ended in 1763. In 1766, Parliament passed the Quartering Act, which provided for "billeting, provisioning and discipline of British forces . . ."

Abstract
This paper discusses the symbolism of the green light in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." The paper discusses how Nick, the narrator, describes the green light in the novel, but never clearly states its meaning. The paper attempts to understand the meaning of the green light by focusing on what the green light means to Gatsby, what he learns about the green light and the commentary that Nick provides as narrator.
From the Paper
"The final statement about the green light is made in the novel's closing line. At this point, Nick is remembering how Gatsby once reached for the green light. Nick states that Gatsby's dream must have seemed so close, but that it was already behind him. This makes a strong statement about Gatsby's dream being unattainable. It is not only saying that Gatsby did not achieve his dream, but that it was always impossible for him to reach. In effect, he failed before he even started. At this point, Nick understands Gatsby dream because Nick has just realized that his own dreams were also unattainable. Just like Gatsby, Nick came to West Egg seeking something from his life, and just like Gatsby, Nick is disappointed with what he has found. It is at this point that Nick realizes that every person has their own personal dreams and hopes that will turn out to be futile."

'Book of Tea', 2006.
Reflections on 'The Book of Tea' by Kakuzo Okakura.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews Kakuzo Okakura's 'Book of Tea'. According to the paper, 'Book of Tea' provides a potent and stimulating introduction to Japanese culture. The paper then takes a look at the idea of Teaism, a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. The paper explains that by focusing on the possibilities of perfecting something small, like brewing and serving a perfect cup of tea, with all the correct ceremony, a sense of harmony and control is attained, even in light of the imperfections of a confusing world.
From the Paper
"Okakura's own prose, with its attitude of whimsy rather than worshipfulness: "What a tempest in a tea cup...Perhaps I betray my own ignorance of the Tea Cult by being so outspoken," is in keeping with the principles of Teaism that he outlines. He makes delightful use of the religious nature of tea, poking fun at Westerners who dislike tea, who call drinking tea a filthy custom as heretics. This lack of reverence towards tea is a key, ironic part of Japanese religiosity, he implies. By not taking things too seriously, the true ethos of tea is manifest. Tea is served with deliberation, but ultimately the pourer knows that it does not matter very much in the grand scheme of things."

Abstract
This paper looks at two short stories by writer Alice Walker: "Strong Horse Tea" and "The Revenge of Hannah Kemhuff". The author examines the writer's depiction of black women and their position in society and their responsibilities as women as part of the black heritage and tradition. The paper also analyzes the characters in the stories.
From the Paper
"Alice Walker's stories in "In Love and Trouble: Stories of Black Women" provide us with glimpses into the nature of being black and female in America, into the ways in which black women make a success of their lives (or try to make a success of their lives) by drawing on not only their own personal pasts but also on an accumulated heritage of black female traditions and knowledge. This paper examines how Walker emphasizes the importance of black heritage to her characters in two of the short stories in this book, "Strong Horse Tea" and "The Revenge of Hannah Kemhuff".

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."

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."
