Abstract
The paper looks at Isaiah Berlin's "The Hedgehog and the Fox: An Essay on Tolstoy's View of History", which analyzes how history is oversimplified in the literary work of Tolstoy. The paper explains how the fox represents a multi-tiered point of literary perspective that is objective in nature, while the hedgehog defines the over-simplified and subjective nature of history for history in literature. The paper shows how Berlin denounces Russian author Leo Tolstoy's oversimplified view of history as pertinent to his theory on historiographical views of the 20th century.
From the Paper
"The symbol of the hedgehog in Berlin's essay is an example of history is defined through a series of oversimplified perspectives that analyze different conditions of a particular civilization. For instance, Berlin asserts that Russian authors like Dostoevsky are 'hedgehogs' that distort and maim the idea of history through generalizations about specific quarters of society that cannot account for their holistic views:"
"Dostoevsky, who is nothing if not a hedgehog; and thereby transforms, indeed distorts, Pushkin into a dedicated prophet, a bearer of a single, universal message, which was indeed the centre of Dostoevsky's own universe, but exceedingly remote from the many varied provinces of Pushkin's genius (Berlin 4).""

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the Fox Wars, fought between the Fox (Mesquakie) American Indians and the French in the early 18th Century. According to the paper, these Fox Wars that were fought in the then-French territory of Wisconsin, were due to the struggles that persisted as a result of access to land and waterways, security of expanding French forces into the West and mistrust perpetuated by previous encounters.
From the Paper
"Beauharnois chose Paul de la Marque Sieur Marin to lead an expedition to suppress the Meskwaki. Marin and his forces left Montreal in the summer of 1729 and wintered over in a deserted fort near the Menominee village. He first encountered Meskwaki people in the spring, near Little Lake Butte des Morts. After five days of fighting the Meskwaki were successful in escaping during the night and eluding capture or defeat by Marin. Having lost all of their allies and left with few resources in their home area, the Meskwaki took an offer from the Iroquois to seek refuge outside of Wisconsin. In the summer of 1730 they set off for Lake Ontario, traveling through southern Wisconsin and along the Illinois River. They had plans to meet with allies in the Ouiatanon tribe near Lafayette, Indiana. However, their travel was also reported to the French by the Meskwaki's former allies, the Mascouten and the Kickapoo. The French threatened the Iroquois for offering refuge to the Meskwaki. Meanwhile, St. Ange of Peoria, Illinois gathered a force of French and Indian warriors and pursued the Meskwaki. "

Abstract
This paper explains that the petite Channel Island fox, urocyon littoralis, endemic to the California Channel Islands, has become near extinction because of the invasion of non-native species, misguided conservation efforts and rampant canine distemper disease. The author points out that, in an effort to save the San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike, lanius ludovicianus mearnsi, one of the most endangered birds in the world, which is a prey of the Channel Island fox, careless conservation efforts reduced the San Clemente (one of the Channel Islands) fox so rapidly that its population then became endangered. The paper stresses that conservation is more complex than looking at a primary cause alone: For the Channel Island Fox, this means trapping and relocating golden eagles, reintroducing bald eagles, removing feral pigs, replacing exotic grasslands for native ones, and above all, monitoring the foxes. The paper is attractive with many photographs and captions.
Table of Contents:
Scorch and Sizzle
Plagued by an Epidemic
The Hitch with the Shrike
The Flying Catastrophe
Taking a Wider Glance
From the Paper
"The good news is that predator control is starting to work. Since 2004, there have been no golden eagles on the islands of San Miguel and Santa Cruz. San Miguel Island has also released ten island foxes from their captive breeding program to begin to repopulate the subspecies. In addition, all three islands now have a total of 25 resident bald eagles that have been relocated there in order to bring this native species back. The bald eagles kept the golden eagles away once before, so they may be able to do it again."

Abstract
This paper examines the late twentieth century Catholic theology of Matthew Fox which was banned by the Vatican for a period of time. It describes his fundamental theology of Jesus? positive teaching of the ?beautiful life? and the ?original blessing?. The paper describes many of his controversial beliefs, in which living a spiritual life is not a matter of religion but a matter of actions.

Background
Fox Responds to the Outcry
Fox on Christianity
The Tasks of Humanity
Fox and the Future
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Matthew Fox is a literary groundbreaker in the world of theology, in particular the doctrines of the Catholic Church. His 1983 first-book, Original Blessing is a solid look at the blessings of life rather than the concept of original sin. The notion of Original sin is a central tenet to the Catholic Doctrine, and in 1989 the Vatican silenced Fox for one full year because of his teachings from Original Blessings."

Abstract
This paper examines Fox Television Network and compares it to the three major networks in broadcast television, ABC, CBS and NBC. This network has produced a number of shows that have made television history. The paper looks at the history behind the formation of the network in 1986 by Rupert Murdoch, whose intention was to form an independent television network to compete with the three major networks, and the story behind its success. The paper also discusses Rupert Murdoch's background and his media company, Fox Corporation. Criticisms of Fox News Network and the Fox News Channel are also mentioned. The paper concludes that the network has a reach almost as great as the other three networks in terms of the amount of the country served and is certainly ahead of the smaller networks.
From the Paper
" The Fox Television Network is often simply referred to as Fox, and the company and related companies are owned by the Fox Entertainment Group as part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. The network was launched in 1986 and has produced and shown a number of series since that time. The network took a long time to achieve sufficient standing to be considered a threat to the three major networks, meaning ABC, CBS, and NBC. Since the launch of Fox, two other national broadcast networks have been launched, UPN and the WB, or Warner Bros. Network. These companies are competing for audience and advertisers at the same time as broadcast television is losing audience to cable and other media, and many are uncertain of how long broadcast television will continue in its present form or what form it might take in the future."

"The Swamp Fox", 2008.
This paper argues that the leadership ability of General Francis Marion, known as "The Swamp Fox" stemmed from the excellence of his character.

Abstract
The paper discusses how during the Revolutionary period in America's history, General Francis Marion confronted the enemy in order to establish independence from the British. The paper relates that Marion developed guerilla "hit and run" tactics that were highly effective and earned him the name "Swamp Fox". The paper attributes this success to General Marion's moral qualities and upstanding character.
From the Paper
"Francis Marion's grandparents were French Huguenots, Protestants that were persecuted and driven out of France because of their religion. They came to South Carolina in 1690. The youngest of six children, Francis was born into the family in 1732. There was apparently some doubt whether he would live past the age of six. He was so small he could be placed in a quart mug, and there was something wrong with the formation of his knees and ankles (Smith, 1976). Maybe he was born prematurely, and that is why he was so small; unfortunately, history does not say. But he was "frail and puny" (American Revolution web site) until he was twelve years old."

The False Fox: A Preaching Beast, 2004.
This paper explores the metaphoric meaning associated with a historical interpretation of the medieval lyric poem, ?The False Fox.? Also explored are the different poetic devices used in this lyric, including puns, homophones, ironies, and hyperbole.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper provides a basis for the direction of interpretation one may take while attempting to provide a historical extrapolation of a medieval lyric, specifically of ?The False Fox.? The paper mainly focuses on its scholastically assigned genre as a secular lyric; however, also explored during the discourse are other possible connotations of the text. Lyrics tend to be a difficult genre of medieval literature to categorize because many pieces of work serve as lyrics, but are vastly different from one another. This paper also gives an in-depth poetic analysis of the poem utilizing the terms and devices that current poets use.
From the Paper
?The False Fox,? categorically speaking, is a satirical bestiary secular lyric that ?pokes fun? at the clergy, or perhaps pokes fun at the wandering friars during the 15th century. This was not an original idea of the time, ??even more common is the depiction of the fox as a preacher. In the garb of bishop with miter and cozier, of monk or friar, he is represented as preaching to gullible ducks or chickens while the unfortunate bird which will be his next meal peeps sadly over his shoulder? similar satires on the clergy appear in the lyrics where the false fox shrives the hens and gives them absolution? (Rowland, 77). Because ?The False Fox? contains end-rhyme, reminiscent of earlier French lyrics, it seems logical to give this secular lyric foundation from the French."

"Sexuality and Catholicism" ( Thomas C. Fox ), 1999.

Abstract
Thomas C. Fox, in Sexuality and Catholicism, presents a simple, clear, and fair argument that the hierarchy of the Catholic Church is pursuing a self-defeating policy with respect to sexuality. Fox does not intend to merely bash the Church for its strictly conservative policy on birth control, abortion, sterilization, in vitro fertilization, homosexuality, non-traditional sexual behavior among consenting adults, and ordination of women. To the contrary, he acknowledges that the Church has much to offer the world. as in the Pope's 1995 encyclical which "reaffirms the sacredness of life," a "message the world needs desperately to hear" (4). However, the good the Church does is undermined by its counter-productive stand on sexual issues

The paper explains how the book can even be integrated into other subjects and the multimedia support available that can be used to teach the lessons in the book.
From the Paper
"An exciting story from the point of view of a student, but a potential lesson in history and ethics in the eyes of a teacher, for Jessie, as compelled by the crew, must play for the slaves so they can dance and keep themselves 'in condition' for the horrific state of human enslavement that awaits them. Few Africans survived the journey known as the Middle Passage with bodies or minds intact, and Jessie becomes a part of this frightening part of American history. This merging of American history and personal identification with the story's main character is conveyed in an especially strong fashion by the author because young children can so easily identify with the protagonist. Like all of boys junior high school age, children such as Jessie are often thrust into a situation where, in his words, was no one can save him. In other words, Jessie has very little control over his life. His father is dead, and he has few resources other than his own wiles. (Fox, p. 22) He does not choose his fate, his fate chooses him."

Abstract
Willie Bosket has been called the most violent criminal in New York state history. This paper shows just who Bosket is and how he came to be so violent which is at the heart of "All God's Children: The Bosket Family and the American Tradition of Violence" by Fox Butterfield. A dual biography of Willie Bosket and his father, and the saga of a family as it lurches through the decades from slave quarters to sharecroppers' cabin to Harlem tenement, the paper examines how the book shows how a tradition of violence crosses color lines and gets handed down from generation to generation.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
The "Monster" Among us
How do we Prevent Creating More Willie Boskets?
From the Paper
"Juvenile justice professionals must argue vigorously to maintain separate juvenile and criminal justice systems. Legitimate public concerns justify imprisoning dangerous, repeat offenders; however, research shows that housing juvenile offenders with adult felons is not the answer to reduce the rate of violent crime. Youth who get into trouble with the law need adult guidance, and suitable role models won't be found in prison. People must understand that the development of children and youth is a process that allows for learning, growing, changing, and maturing."

Challenging Race and Gender Bias in Three Works of Children's Literature, 2002.

Abstract
This essay will construct a challenge to three novels for children with respect to their inherent biases: Paula Fox's "The Slave Dancer", Lynne Reid Banks' "The Indian in the Cupboard", and Rudyard Kipling's "How the Leopard Got his Spots". In constructing this challenge, I believe that it is important that I explain my own biases and how they influence my challenge. I would argue that it would be arrogant for educators or parents today to consider that we are without biases.
