Abstract
This paper examines how, in the story "Love" by Jesse Stuart, the author uses the images of birth and death to emphasize the themes of suggested emotion and the common nature in animals and people. The paper discusses how the author first uses emotion in the title and then continues to suggest emotion through images and action to humanize the animals in the story. The paper also looks at how the narrator mentions many comparisons between animals and people, suggesting a common nature. Through both of these themes, the ideas of life / birth and death are included since everything is connected and nature is cyclical.
From the Paper
"Emotion is clearly related to the themes of life and death in the story. When the narrator thinks first of a human female and then the snake fighting to save her babies, there is both guilt and sorrow in the tone of the passage; the words "agony" and then the narrators admittance, "it was silly of me to think such thoughts" show that he does not know what he should feel (291). The reader also sees the father's hate for the snake, when he calls it his enemy and then encourages the dog to kill it. Yet, when he sees the male snake seemingly grieving for his mate, even the father cannot hate it. The human emotion of grief that is projected onto the male snake makes it impossible for even the father to kill it. In sparing it, he is showing that he has gained some respect for nature, life, and death."

Abstract
This paper explains that in Jesse Stuart's short story, "Love" the conflict between the father and the son, which is expressed through their differing perspectives on the world, relates to the overall theme of pragmatic love. The author points out that Jesse Stuart's story describes an encounter in which a man has his dog kill a snake. The paper states that, beneath the surface, the story is a deeper one of unreasoning destruction brought about by an allegedly higher creature and the compassion shown by an animal often associated with evil. The author concludes that, by the end of the story, father appears to have learned something about love and about making unreasoning judgments.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The following day, the father and the son find the bull black snake coiled near his dead mate. The snake has found her in the stillness of the night, which is not unlike the stillness of death. "Still devoted to his mate, the bull snake "lifted his head and followed [them] as [they] walked around the dead snake." The snake has shown more compassion to his mate than the father has shown to the female snake; unlike the human, who allegedly has the benefit of human reason and emotion, the snake does not instinctively and indiscriminately attack."

Confederate Outlaw Jesse James, 2005.
An examination of historical outlaw figure Jesse James from both a modern and historical perspective.

Abstract
This report examines newspaper articles written about Jesse James, from both modern and historical standpoints. The paper also looks at how politics affected the image of James and the cultural myth of James through sources like that of Stiles, author of The Last Rebel of the Civil War. The report also uses other sources, however, including sources that are critical of Stiles' work, to ensure objective perspectives in the paper.
From the Paper
"One newspaper article about Jesse James focuses on the legend and how it is still felt in the area. This shows a modern reflection to an assignment parameter that is perhaps lacking in modern sources for comparison, just to highlight historical sourcing exercises. The real interesting issues about Jesse James aside from the reprints of
secondary-sourced news articles are how the history maintains itself in terms of the present day. In an article in the St. Louis Dispatch, for example, the writer compares eerily the present state of a town called Liberty where James pulled robberies, including the infamous Liberty bank robbery mentioned in Stiles' The Last Rebel of the Civil War and other sources."

Abstract
This extremely detailed term paper tracks the life of Jesse James from his days in the Civil War as a partisan raider through his life as an outlaw. It discusses the various segments of his career as an outlaw, leader, and gunfighter until his death and analyzes whether his actions should be vindicated or condemned.
From the Paper
Theodore Roosevelt, in Century Magazine of 1880, was said to have felt that the phenomenon of the western outlaw could only be understood if the absolute wilderness of the plains during the frontier period was taken into account. Jesse James is far and away the most infamous and best-known outlaw in American history. Modern culture, as evidenced by movies such as American Outlaws, depicts Jesse James as an ?American Robin Hood?: ?His yew bow is a Navy Colt; his jerkin a faded blue coat. He never fails to distribute his stolen loot among weeping widows about to lose their homesteads. Old men receive his coat in the freezing cold with tearful thanks. He reduces to a bloody hulk the bully torturing the frail young farmer, recently arrived from the East to till the soil? . Perhaps more credible individuals take the opposite view, and they write that: ?Jesse James was simply a cold-blooded killer and a thief. There is no credible evidence that he ever gave one cent to a widow or anyone else in need, nor did he take up arms to help the weak. For most of his life he was hunted like a wild animal, able to survive only because he and his gang could intimidate weak-spined county officials or count on kissing kinfolk to hide them out? . But who was the real Jesse James? Was he more likely to defend the downtrodden or prey on them? The answer is probably none of the above. Jesse James was no more a murderous thug than he was a defender of poor farmers; he was the product of a brutal and violent Civil War and reconstruction era of American history."

From the Paper
"Announcing his bid to become the Democratic National candidate in the presidential election of 1984, the Rev. Jesse Jackson entered the limelight of American politics. His attempt to become the first black president was not only a historic move but a symbolic one as well. America never had to contend with a black candidate before; many people wondered if this country was ready for one. The Jackson candidacy turned out to be much more than just a race for the White House. With his motivating style, his political success abroad, and his effect on black political activism, Jackson caught the attention of Americans everywhere--Americans of all races and backgrounds. Although he made a few mistakes and earned much criticism, Jackson, with his charisma and character, opened the eyes of black and white voters alike ... "

Tree of Jesse, 1996.

From the Paper
"The Tree of Jesse is an iconographical element in medieval art that refers to the genealogy of Christ, represented by a tree springing from the loins of Jesse, the father of David. The trunk and branches are occupied by other ancestors, with Christ or the Virgin Mary at the top. This symbolic representation appears to have been created by the French artist Suger, and certainly the artists of St.-Denis gave it its perfected form, the form that would prevail for centuries. The creation of the tree was part of a revival of biblical learning in art, and the Tree of Jesse refers to a prophecy by Isaiah that would be transformed by the symbolism into a lasting icon symbolizing certain Christian doctrines.
The prophecy of Isaiah states the following:
And there shall come forth a rod out of the root of..."

"Elizabeth I, King Henry VIII?s last surviving child, died childless, ending Tudor rule in England. The closest successor was the Scottish James I, son of Mary Stuart and her first husband, Henry Darnley. As much as her counselors and people had hoped Elizabeth would marry and produce a Tudor heir, she held to the idea that she was, married to England and remained the ?Virgin Queen?, and the last Tudor monarch."

John Stuart Mill: A Liberal Feminist, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that John Stuart Mill is often classified as a Liberal Feminist because of his "Subjection of Women", which explores the concepts of Liberal and Radical Feminism in relation to Mill's theory of utilitarian and his ideas about women's place in economic and societal terms. The author points out that Liberal Feminism is a branch of feminism, which uses the language of liberty, rights and legal equality, as opposed to the radical branch of second wave feminism who believed that the main tenet of feminism was the oppression of women by men. The paper states that most of Mill's writings are concerned with middle- or upper-class married women and he favours the traditional division of labour within the family; this incongruous coupling of patriarchy and capitalism by John Stuart Mill and the Liberal Feminists is criticised.
From the Paper
"John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) was raised as a Utilitarian, influenced by Jeremy Bentham and his father, James Mill. His writings include On Liberty (1859), Utilitarianism (1863) and the Subjection of Women (1869), as well as many articles in various periodicals including the Utilitarian journal the Westminster Review. In 1851, after a long relationship he married Harriet Taylor, to whom he was apparently devoted, although her contribution to his work is disputed. To this Okin states: 'the difficult circumstances of their relationship must have increased the strength of his convictions, and of his determination to do what he could to have women's many disabilities remedied.' On her death in 1858 Mill was allegedly devastated: 'His despondency was frightful.'" His Utilitarian beginnings were at odds with his later liberal

Abstract
This paper explains that, in their book "The Leader in You" Stuart Levin and Michael Crom, who are executives at Dale Carnegie & Associates, identify and analyze the essential components and principles of leadership, ranging from effective communication and the ability to motivate others to tactics on how to deal with criticism. The author points out that in the first chapter, 'Finding the Leader in You' the writers stress that aspiring leaders must learn that there are many components of leadership, but one of the most important is the skilled handling of subordinates through listening, creative problem solving, conflict resolution skills and forging unity and teamwork. The paper relates that the tenth and last chapter, 'Handling Mistakes, Complaints, and Criticism', deals with some of the negative aspects of interaction in a business or organization.
From the Paper
"The seventh chapter, "Teaming Up for Tomorrow" deals with the importance of teamwork for future success. Teamwork can be forged by encouraging stewardship, by recognizing the intrinsic value of one's people, and by fostering a sense of community in an organization. The authors emphasize that when these principles are adopted and adhered to by leaders, a mutual sense of unity, loyalty, and respect can be established and maintained which will empower everyone in the organization and establish a strong foundation for success."

Stuart Davis's "Landscape with Garage Lights", 2003.
An analysis of modern painter Stuart Davis's "Landscape with Garage Lights" in an historical context.

Abstract
This paper examines how, while much of art progressed toward abstraction in the early part of the twentieth century, Regionalist painting continued relatively the same. One artist, Stuart Davis, spear-headed the movement to paint the American scene in a imaginative new way. It looks at how one of his works, "Landscape with Garage Lights," is a prime example of this progression of art and how it proved to be a new benchmark in Regionalist painting. It also shows how, by rejecting earlier traditionalist beliefs and embracing modern influences, he comments on the urban American life with abstract forms and highly saturated colors, creating a truly unique and upbeat work of art.
From the Paper
"Matisse and the emergence of jazz also influenced Davis. Matisse helped pioneer the use of highly saturated colors in his works, and this concept did not go unnoticed by Davis. Although these saturated colors did not truly represent any real landscape, that did not stop Davis from making use of them. In Landscape with Garage Lights there are strong reds, oranges, blues, and greens. Every color seems to be of the variety that a child could easily pull out of his/her small box of Crayola crayons. However, this assortment of primary colors causes the work to evoke an upbeat response. This upbeat response can be compared to the rise of jazz music during the period. Jazz was a new, experimental, and colorful way to write and play music."

John Stuart Mill, 2004.
An analysis of John Stuart Mill's opinion on capital punishment.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses John Stuart Mill's disagreement with the laxity of the justice system of his time. His utilitarian outlook on capital punishment is examined. The paper explains that Mill staunchly objected to the extreme caution with which the justice system of his time imposed the death penalty on incorrigible criminals and the system's view of death as the worst evil, as opposed to life imprisonment.
From the Paper
"He suggested that death was not as terrible as imagined by the judges and justices of his time, whom he described as effeminate and inefficacious in their responsibility. "For what else than effeminacy is it to be so much more shocked by taking a man's life than by deriving him of all that makes life desirable or valuable? (Hinman)." JS Mill, instead, proposed that genuine human education despised death as something inevitable and something to be held but ready to be risked for a worthy cause. While he agreed that death was among the greatest evils, human feelings counted more than human life and the avoidance of death. He wrote that "to deter by suffering from inflicting suffering is not only possible, but the very purpose of penal justice" in emphasizing that an individual who unjustly takes the life of another necessarily forfeits his own. The utilitarian thinker would see only quality life, not mere existence, as worth living. The criminal neither considers the victim's right to quality life nor does the criminal live it. Mill perceived criminality as directly opposed to the well-being of every member of society and society's survival itself. Any convincing utilitarian argument cannot get too far from his arguments."

John Stuart Mill vs. Thomas Hobbes, 2007.
A comparison between John Stuart Mill and Thomas Hobbes regarding their views on ethical theory.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the ideas on ethical theory of two great thinkers, John Stuart Mill and Thomas Hobbes. The paper discusses Mill's concept of utilitarianism and Hobbes' views on the social contract and the two states of human existence, i.e. nature vs. society. The paper defines Mill's principle of utility as the most happiness (pleasure) and the least amount of pain for the majority of people involved. Humans are motivated by their pursuit of pleasure. The paper states that Mill believes human beings and beasts are separated by their pleasure capacity, whereas Hobbes would argue that it is the state of society that makes humans different from the beasts. In conclusion, the paper maintains that both men, though different in almost every way, present profound ideas that cannot and are not ignored by people around the world whether they are living as beasts with every pleasure fulfilled or as civilized being struggling to relieve themselves of pain.
From the Paper
"The social contract theory is defined and redefined by several philosophers. One of the more noted of these is Thomas Hobbes. In his Leviathan, published in 1651, Hobbes attempts to clearly define the two states of human beings, nature and society, as well as prove that the social contract is necessary in order to allay the chaos created by the natural state of men. According to Hobbes, humans would live in a cut throat existence if it were not for the social contract. He believes that man needs a ruler, a monarchy, in order to control their natural, beast like, behaviors."

Abstract
This paper presents a historiographical review of the military history book, "All the King's Army", by Stuart Reid. The paper examines Reid's interpretation of the military events in the United Kingdom from 1642 to 1651 as well as the book's focus on military strategy.
From the Paper
"Stuart Reid's "All the King's Armies" is a fully-researched interpretation of the military events in the United Kingdom. He begins by setting up the divisions that would characterize the civil war. King Charles' pro-Rome tendencies trickled into the rural areas through the local squires and ministers while Parliament's pro-Protestant tendencies were stronger in the industrialized towns and commercial centers.i Reid then outlines Charles' clumsy attempts to bring Protestant Scotland into line with his religious reforms that only resulted in the National..."
