From the Paper
"Kenneth Wooden had a speech impediment until junior high age. Taunts and jeers from classmates caused him to withdraw, and he was placed with slow students who, like himself, could barely read. He continually failed classes and started having behavioral problems. He beat up a classmate, vandalized businesses, and stole a car. Due to the efforts of his parents and a sympathetic judge, he was spared imprisonment.
After high school, Wooden could not get a job because he could not read and write well enough to fill out job application forms. He taught himself how to read in the army. He married a loving woman who tutored him through college. He graduated with honors from Glassboro State College in 1962. The folder containing his records from earlier schooling stated that his IQ was 78. Wooden believed strongly that there is a relationship ... "

Abstract
This paper focuses on the importance of playtime for children. It demonstrates its necessity and looks at how playtime should be given to every child. It shows how after passing such a long time in school and studying, every person needs a rest and how rest can only be obtained when a person is mentally relaxed and tension free. It examines how playing is one of the ways from which a person can be free from all the tension he or she has and how during the playtime, children get some time to spend with friends and be a little bit free from tensions of studies.

From the Paper
"Take role-playing as a case in point. Keep in mind the Mark Twain stories in relation to Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn? They take in many examples of play. If, as in a scene in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, a youngster pretends to be a riverboat leader, there's a lot more to that role-playing than merely significant what a captain does and a number of basic boat expressions. There are approaches that go together with the role-playing: for the most part, the power of being captain and the happiness in the capability to make decisions.
Adults fit into place in comparable dramatic role-playing, often imagining themselves in a role that yields real mental benefit."

"A Valediction: Of Weeping", 2004.
A review of John Donne's poem, "A Valediction: Of Weeping".

Abstract
This paper discusses the poem, "A Valediction: Of Weeping," by John Donne. The paper contends that, as in much of Donne's poetry, logical argument and the use of extended metaphors or 'conceits' are important in understanding the total impact of the poem. "A Valediction: Of Weeping" is no exception, and the three short stanzas of the poem contain a wide and complex web of meaning, which is open to subtle and varying interpretations.
From the Paper
"This is an important first conceit as it contains the idea of the mingling of emotions and the intimate connection between the two lovers. She "coins" or creates his tears and at the same time they reflect her face or "stamp". The idea of the reflection of the lover in the speaker's tears should also be understood in a deeper sense as profound psychological and emotional attachment. The fact that the lover is the speaker's entire world is emphasized in this line: And by this mintage they are something worth. (Line 4) In other words, the speaker's entire worth and sense of identity is contained in the lover's face and person, which is reflected in his tears. Following this line of thought, the tears become a total reflection of the lovers' feeling at parting and generate further emotional attachment."

Abstract
This paper discusses John Donne's poem, "A Valediction: of Weeping." The paper specifically discusses the way in which this poem manages to evoke the uncertainty and ambiguity of emotion. It discusses the theme of the poem and the language that Donne uses to portray the theme. The paper analyzes his style of writing and explains why it is effective.
From the Paper
"Line 7 introduces some entirely new concepts. The male is calling his tears the "fruits" of his grief. His grief is the cause of his tears. But his tears are "emblems" of the love they shared before the grief. In line 8, Donne begins to reveal his true wishes. The male lover hopes that "when a tear falls", that which is reflected in the tear (his woman's face) falls as well. The tone of this statement is uncertain. It's possible that the lover is unveiling his conceit. He wants his woman to be as affected by this moment as he is, or at least affected by his emotion. Line 9 furthers this conceit by saying that after both his tear and his lover fall, they will become nothing. Excluding the vast number of subtleties, there are two major themes within the first stanza. The first is the request of the male lover to cry in the presence of his female lover before they part and the tears are meaningless. The second is the wish that his female lover will fall and be affected by his tears."

Picasso's "Weeping Woman With Handkerchief", 1995.

From the Paper
"Pablo Picasso's Weeping Woman with Handkerchief (1937) comes from one of his most productive periods, an era in which he was producing works demonstrating a new emotional tension, a brooding sense of foreboding, and a preoccupation with anguish and despair. His works display a concern with the mythological image of the Minotaur and the images of the dying horse and the weeping woman (Osborne 434). Picasso's works were involved with a new way of depicting perceptions, seeking the essence of a subject rather than a strict recreation of reality. Andre Breton stated that Picasso was an heir to Surrealism (Osborne 424). The art of the time was also much influenced by changes in science and society reflecting less reliance on tradition and a different view of the uncertainties of surface structure, and these conceptions were embodied in the idea of Modernism."

From the Paper
"Creating public awareness among the general populace will require more creative and less structured planning. First series of groups to address would be scout, church and other social groups. In a similar manner to meeting EALR desires, CWB should try to identify merit badges with which to align programs with both Boy and Girl Scouts. Once that task is accomplished, developing a list of key scout leader contacts could be executed fairly quickly. Other groups would be interested in the center for its appeal to team building and uniqueness. Certainly, the installation of a light rail stop and city park next door will elevate CWB's presence in the spotlight."
"Being recognized as a key piece of South Lake Union's growth by its developer is a competitive advantage CWB needs to manage and leverage. The first task should be inclusion in promotional brochures that come out of Vulcan. Two more actions could foster a strong community tie. First, with 10,000 new residences coming into the area an opportunity may exist to offer $50 voucher for CWB programs for the first series of residents or a reminder that the center offers free boat rides on Sunday afternoons."

The Wooden Sailing Ship, 2006.
An analysis of the impact of the wooden sailing ship on the Anglo-French War.

Abstract
This paper studies the impact the sailing ship had on the historic period between 1773 and 1815, the Anglo-French War. The paper examines the use of the sailing ship by the British and briefly touches on the technological changes the ship herself undertook. The paper proves that the wooden sailing ship was the decisive factor in the war and further shows that were it not for British supremacy at sea, the course of the war would have been decidedly different.
From the Paper
"To speak of the "technology of the wooden sailing ship" is to do just that, to speak of the ship as an innovation and tool on its own. The wooden sailing ship since its inception changed very little until 1859 with the creation of the first Ironclad, the French La Gloire. The technological changes during its most active period, that of 1492-1815, were minor. To illustrate, a few examples are provided. In 1761, copper sheathing was introduced to the bottom hulls of ships to reduce rot and the necessity of constant cleaning, it also had the ancillary benefit of increasing speed under certain winds. In 1764, the bilge pump was enhanced by introduction of a chain mechanism which reduced the man power needed and decreased the time necessary to pump out an equal amount of water. The tiller was replaced by the wheel for steering larger vessels and in the early 1760's lightning conductors were introduced to warships. Stills for producing fresh water from salt and ventilation apparatus were other enhancements of the time. Aside from minor developments in size and construction of sail and the size and number of cannon, the wooden sailing ship was virtually unchanged during the period of examination.(2) It remains unimportant to focus on how the ship changed but instead focus on the ship itself, and what it as a technological innovation did to impact history."

Lee Jacobs' Article: "John Kenneth Galbraith: The Position of Poverty", 2008.
This paper analyzes governmental influences on case poverty and insular poverty in Southeast Asia based on the article "John Kenneth Galbraith: The Position of Poverty" by Lee Jacobs.

Abstract
This study critically analyzes the idea of case poverty and insular ioverty in the article "John Kenneth Galbraith: The Position of Poverty" by Lee Jacobs. The paper explains that, by understanding the different types of poverty that keep many in the lower echelons of society, Galbraith positions that case poverty is a real concept in determining those that cannot function effectively within society. The paper further suggest that, by critical evaluating this concept, one can argue that Galbraith shows a great deal of insight into poverty, and what factors keep members of a population in the lower classes through government intervention. The paper then applies this concept to the poor in Southeast Asian countries.
From the Paper
"These ironic features that are contained within economic barren areas reflect the way that governmental development influences what is to be deemed insular poverty. For instance, if a country like Cambodia has resources in rice, a lack of government development could make Cambodia behave within Galbraith's definition of insular poverty without geographical isolation. ...
"This factor further helps develop the terms of poverty that are imposed upon people, through the so-called insular factors of poverty."

Kenneth Branagh's "Othello", 2002.
Analysis of the film version of "Othello" by Kenneth Branagh, with an emphasis on his interpretation of Iago.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Kenneth Branagh's interpretation of the character, Iago, from Shakespeare's "Othello" differs from Shakespeare's original intention. The paper contrasts Branagh's portrayal of Iago as one who is fierce, dead serious and even brooding, with Shakespeare's Iago as one who is less serious and more intent on enjoying the hunt of Othello. The paper also discusses the movie version's emphasis on providing a motive for Iago's vengeance, while Shakespeare actually provides very little explanation of Iago's motivation.
From the Paper
"Kenneth Branagh?s interpretation of Iago lends a very different feel to the text than one might get simply by reading it. His portrayal of Iago is typically dead serious. There seems to be no smirk, no joy, in his undoing of Othello, rather he seems almost sulky, almost duty bound. Even if, in the action of the movie, he momentarily assumes a smile, in soliloquy that smile is immediately swept away to a sullen grimace. This frowning Iago is an unusual interpretation of Shakespeare?s most notorious villain. From the text, one might assume that Iago enjoys the chase, enjoys the hunt of Othello, but the movie depicts it very much as a fierce competition. Part of this can be seen in the chessboard theme that runs throughout the movie?Iago?s attempt to undo Othello is not some freewheeling intellectual exercise, but a disciplined competition."

Abstract
This paper studies the possible reasons for the stock market crash in 1929. It examines John Kenneth Galbraith's book 'The Great Crash: 1929' which claims that the reason for the Great Crash was the over-zealousness and miscalculations of financial analysts and brokers at the time. It discusses how the basis economic theories were suddenly irrelevant afterwards. Finally, it blames the stock market crash on investors that did not want to see the reality.
From the Paper
"John Kenneth Galbraith's book "The Great Crash: 1929 claims that the depression of 1929 was a direct result of the miscalculations of the financial analysts and the other brokers which caused the crash of the stocks. He states that these actors of the economic field had a direct involvement in the stock market and had become too greedy to actually see what was happening to the market around them---too greedy to actually fear the recuperation?s of what was easily predictable as the downfall."

Abstract
This paper provides a broad overview of Kenneth Burke's most influential works and the effect they have had on the study of communications. It then focuses on and describes one of Burke's greatest contributions to communications theory - his pentad theory, which was theorized in "A Grammar of Motives." The paper discusses this theory and the influence that it had on communications study.
Table of Contents:
Burke: A Broad Overview
The Pentad Explored
Works and Research Spurred by the Burkean Pentad
Expanding the Pentad
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Ling's analysis of Kennedy's speech may be one of the best known examples of pentad-based analysis, but it is by no means the only one. In fact, the Kenneth Burke Society - which also publishes the KB Journal - holds a triennial conference where various papers on Burkean theory are presented. Topics have included the application of pentad analysis to increasingly high-tech communications; rhetorical analysis of the press; pentad analysis of George W. Bush's communications on the Iraq War; and much more (Burke Papers, 2006). In fact, the Kenneth Burke Society has already announced plans for a 2008 conference in Philadelphia, to ensure the application of Burke's theories continues."

Abstract
This paper describes and summarizes the plot and characters in the film adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing". The paper also explains the play's theme that something so innocent can be quickly turned into woe by deceivers.
From the Paper
"The idyllic scene contrasts sharply with the next scene, where the MEN enter, galloping atop of fierce, snorting steeds that thunder down the hill side, the men sweaty, disheveled uniforms sport triumphant smiles or stern determined gazes, as the prince's army returns from a successful battle. Pure animal testorone, in the most positive sense, that gets the blood circulating and makes the women swoon, even in this day."

From the Paper
"The recent motion picture version of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein hews closely to the plot of the novel while failing to capture its essential purpose. The full title of the movie is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but the possessive does not mean that this version can be considered mary Shelley's vision. Janet Maslin of the New York Times notes this when she writes that the film will not strike anyone as chiefly Mary Shelley's invention. Its principal architect is Kenneth Branagh. . . [who] takes on the godlike, idealistic young scientist's role while also directing this "Frankenstein" as an overheated romantic fable .
An examination of the book and the film shows where the attitudes ... "
