Abstract
This essay provides an overview of the work by Bell Hooks, a black feminist. It looks at her work in particular with the issues of expanding and promoting education, stopping racism, sexism and classism as a postmodernist and also by examining her critique of existentialism. The writer also discusses that Bell Hooks can be characterized as a socialist, a cultural critique and even as a radical.
From the Paper
"Bell Hooks is a world-renewed scholar and a post-modern black feminist. She is well known for her critical appraisal of the white, middle class and male dominated society. Unlike many of her colleagues in academia, Bell Hooks has participated in TV and radio discussions and takes her view outside scholarly circles. Her written work is also such that it invites readers of all educational backgrounds not just those from academia. Her work on radical black feminism has been an inspiration for many young feminists of colour because of her explicit criticism on the ethnocentrism and mainstream feminism in the white-dominated society."

This paper discusses hooks ideas on how women can achieve freedom through love rather than seeing love as a subjugating force. It begins with the premise that women feel confused about love because of the way they are socialized in a patriarchal social structure.
From the Paper
"In her book 'Communion: The Female Search for Love', bell hooks (who prefers that her name have no capitals) completes a trilogy on love in America, in this case discussing how women can achieve freedom through love rather than seeing love as a subjugating force. She begins with the premise that women feel confused about love because of the way they are socialized in a patriarchal social structure. Hooks notes that feminist writers have denigrated love and made it difficult for women to express their true feelings on the subject, which she says should be as important to women in middle age as it was when they were younger. She proposes to offer what is needed, namely "constructive visions of redemptive love" (15). "

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the scholar Bell Hooks' 'Killing Rage: Ending Racism' begins with the shocking defense of a severely psychologically disturbed black man who unleashed a killing spree on the New York subway. The writer notes that while by no means defending murder, Hooks engages in a kind of tacit endorsement of the man's motivation, or his sophisticated understanding that both blacks and whites can perpetuate institutionalized racism, by supporting institutions that foster racist attitudes. The writer points out that America is a nation founded upon a racial divide between blacks and whites, founded upon the economic, political, and social legacy of slavery. The writer discusses that the notion of institutionalized, rather than personalized racism demarcated by Hooks stresses that although the effects of institutionalized racism may disproportionately affect blacks, both black and white 'bodies' can and do enforce the prejudices and stereotypes.
From the Paper
" Hooks' criticism seems apt in the sense that 'whiteness' as a construct, much like 'heterosexuality' and 'maleness' has only recently been problematized within contemporary academic discourse. But Hooks' use of the term as the opposite of blackness, in reference to individuals is itself problematic. What about racial categories of white people who only 'recently' became white, such as people of Irish, Italian, or Mediterranean extraction? Or Jewish people and members of other minorities that have not been able, historically, to fully participate in American culture because they are not seen as 'white.' Do they all see blackness in the same fashion because they are locked in the same ideological system, or do they exist within their own subculture as well as participate in the dominant discourse of black/white racialization?"

Abstract
In this paper, the book "Hooks and Feelers" by Kerri Hulme is discussed. It shows how symbolism is used to support the plot of the story and how the characters' emotions are also highlighted through the use of symbolism.
From the Paper
"In the story "Hooks and Feelers," by Keri Hulme, the author uses both symbols and events to demonstrate that human faults can lead to both devastating accidents and devastating consequences. The event that causes the family crisis is the mother?s accidental injury of her son. She slams the car door in anger, mangling her son's hand in the process. His hand has to be amputated, and he holds her responsible. This amputation is symbolic. As the story progresses, family relationships will be severed as well."

Abstract
This paper discusses the work of the physicist John Bell, who's great recognized achievement occurred during the 1960s when he brought new life into the foundations of quantum theory. It examines how Bell demonstrated that discussion of such concepts as 'realism', 'determinism' and 'locality' could be formed into a rigorous mathematical statement, 'Bell's Theorem?, which is capable of experimental test. It looks at how his work has become a point of interest for scientists throughout the world who have found applications not only in quantum theory, but in investigations of the physical universe as well and how current applications of Bell?s Inequality have been found in the development of quantum computing and quantum cryptography.
From the Paper
"Quantum mechanics, however, fails to satisfy Bell's Inequality. He predicts correlations that cross over boundaries that are delineated by the structure of that inequality. Quantum mechanics predicts ?odd? correlations that seem to defy a common, classical conception of reality, and in fact it is for basically this type of reason that Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen argued in 1935 that it was incomplete. The formulation of Bell's Inequality, however, allowed the possibility for determining, through experiment, which was right: quantum mechanics or a local reality theory of the sort Einstein postulated, because it stated what must be the case in our experiments if a locally real theory is correct."

?The Bells?, 2004.
This paper analyzes the use of imagery in Edgar Allan Poe?s poem, ?The Bells?.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Poe?s poem, ?The Bells?, each stanza represents a phase of life, moving from the happy moments at birth and ending with the melancholy moments of death. The author points out that, in the first stanza of the poem, the bells the poet describes are silver bells that deliver a merry melody; in the second stanza, the mellow wedding bells ring in delight, foretelling a ?world of happiness?. The paper relates that, in the third stanza, the images become darker and less pleasant, sounding like a ?tale of terror?; in the fourth stanza, the poet reveals that the bells, transformed from silver and gold to a rusty iron, are tolling.
From the Paper
"This image is one of peace and calm. We can almost see the golden notes floating through the night air with the turtle-dove listening peacefully under the bright moon. The images of the bells swinging, ringing, rhyming, and chiming are positive and filled with energy. Because the poet makes a point of mentioning wedding bells, we can assume that this segment of the poem represents the next stage in life, which is marriage. Because the ringing bells swell and dwell ?on the future? (29), we are left with a feeling of hope for the future."

Abstract
The paper sheds light on the central idea of the poem, ?The Bells? by Poe. The poem revolves around different phases of human life and connects them to chiming of bells. ?The Bells? is considered a near-perfect example of a poetic device called onomatopoeia.
From the Paper
"The Bells? on first reading would appear to be a happy song, which talks about various stages of man?s life and the significance of different sounds. But in-depth analysis reveals that this poem is actually more autobiographical in nature and though it does mention the four stages that man goes through, it is by no means a happy song. This brings us to the central idea of the poem. The poem chronicles four stages of man?s life with first being the happiest yet shortest and last two being saddest yet longer. Man?s childhood is the sunniest time of his life but it lasts for a brief period whereas maturity and near-death moments are saddest and highly undesirable yet they appear to last a very long time. It is important to understand here that keeping in view these thoughts, Poe deliberately gave his first two stanzas fewer lines than the last two. He did not specifically complain about the shortness of childhood or youth, yet he wants to convey this idea through the number of lines that these stanzas contain. The sudden leap from short to long stanzas surprises the readers and make them think about the obvious and deliberately created difference."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the arguments from Robert Hooke's "Micrographia", which were designed to convince those outside of the Royal Society of the validity of Hooke's scientific observations. The author points out that Hooke's observations undermined the belief that the human senses and reason could validly determine the natural world.
From the Paper
"Robert Hooke maintained from his experiments with microscopes that the human senses and human reason are inadequate means of understanding the natural world. Hooke's Micrographia is a systematic account of the author's scientific ..."

Poet Richard Bell, 2006.
This paper discusses the work of contemporary poet Marvin Bell, the author of numerous books on poetry, winner of many prestigious awards and the first Poet Laureate of Iowa.

Abstract
This paper explains that the poetry of Marvin Bell questions existential aspects of life, which are often taken for granted such as relationships, nature and the concepts of who and what a person is. The author points out that a central characteristic of Bell's work is the use of comparatively simple and colloquial forms of speech and word usage including nature imagery, which refers to everyday sights and sounds. The paper relates that, in his work, Bell stresses his need to "express the inexpressible" as the process he uses in his writings.
From the Paper
"What the poem does is it make us realize the mystery of self in that self cannot be defined or capture in a concrete sense but rather is "beyond words", and is essentially inexpressible. An analysis of the poem reveals that the identity of nature cannot be categorized or captured; just as much as human identity is continually moving and changing. It is this sense of mystery and the sense of the depth of complexity of the self and nature which lies at the heart of much of Bell's poetry."

'The Double Hook' and 'Street of Riches', 2005.
This paper discusses the the concept of family in the books 'The Double Hook' and 'Street of Riches'.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 2 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that in 'The Double Hook', there are hundreds of instances of women being depicted with the kitchen and with childcare. The writer points out that in many ways, 'The Double Hook' is the direct opposite of 'Street of Riches' in the former book's portrayal of battering and neglect of children. The writer notes that in Roy's book, the family is a haven, and provides a supportive environment, while in 'The Double Hook', the family provides an insecure and repressive environment.
From the Paper
"Among the functions of the family are socialization and education of children in social values and norms, along with providing security and meeting the physical and emotional needs of the children. Those functions are met in 'Street of Riches'. What is most outstanding about Roy's book relates to her mother's simultaneously liberal and repressive views of women's roles."

Edgar Allen ?The Bells?, 2002.
This paper discusses the meter and rhyme in Edgar Allen ?The Bell?.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses that, while meter and rhyme in Poe?s poem ?The Bells? is magical in its own right, these patterns also contribute greatly to the overall effect of the poem. The author feels that rhyme goes hand-in-hand with meter to create the overall mood and tone of Poe?s ?The Bells.? The paper explains that, although each stanza begins and ends with the same metric pattern, trochaic octameter with frequent catalexis, and rhyme scheme, Poe mixes up the meter and rhyme within each stanza.
From the Paper
"The bulk of the stanza bodies is composed in trochaic octameter with alternating catalexis. The first stanza is almost entirely catalectic except for the two lines in the middle: ?While the / stars that / over / sprinkle // All the / heavens / seem to / twinkle.? Similarly, Poe includes lines without catalexis in all the stanzas, and about at the same point in the overall metric pattern and often with the same exact rhyme pattern as well: in the second stanza, the line without catalexis ends in an ?-ing? word, ?ringing,? just as in the first stanza. In the third stanza: ?By the / twanging // And the / clanging,? and in the fourth: ?Feel a / glory / in so / rolling.?"

Abstract
This paper discusses the prominent theme of dignity in the face of hardship that each character faces in Hemingway's novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls." The novel focuses on the main character of Robert, the American professor who has come to Spain to join the fight against the fascists. The writer of this paper also examines the title: "For Whom the Bell Tolls" which bears great meaning and relevance to the events of the novel.
From the Paper
"A world of torture and pain would await him in such a case, where he would have no control over his time of death. However the reader did not see whether this possibility turned to a reality. The danger involved with fighting wounded was wholeheartedly applauded by Hemingway, because while he did not give a definitive ending, Robert's sacrifice was inarguably noble. There is a level of irony in Robert's death that is impossible to miss."
