"A large part of the loveliness of Clay Walls resides in Ronyoung's ability to synthesize the ugliness and beauty which assaulted Korean immigrants who slowly arrived in Los Angeles between 1903 and 1924. Ronyoung's narrative achieves compelling depth precisely because she does not shy away from depicting the horrors or the glories of these immigrants new life in the burgeoning Los Angeles area. It is Ronyoung's style which allows Clay Walls to scale these heights. By relying upon a strong sprinkling of poetic imagery within her loosely strung narrative, Ronyoung enables her readers to experience turn-of-the-century Los Angeles with the same immediacy with which her characters did. Further, by separating Clay Walls into three parts, one which concentrates on Haseu's experiences and the second which..."

"The United States is a nation of immigrants. Only the Native Americans are indigenous to this continent, and at some point in their history they may also have come to this region from Asia across the Bering Strait or by some other means. In this century, consecutive waves of immigration from different parts of the world created tensions with Americans already living in this country, for they believed that the immigrants were taking their jobs, gorging the welfare roles, and somehow reducing their overall standard of living. Beginning in the 1920s, the object of the law was to favor certain kinds of immigrants and to keep out others. More immigrants were permitted from western Europe and fewer from southern and eastern Europe, and Asians were totally excluded, primarily to prohibit Chinese, Japanese, and Filipinos from acquiring U.S. citizenship."

"Kim Ronyoung's Clay Walls is a novel which tells the story of Korean immigrants to the United States in the years before the outbreak of World War II. The book shows how these immigrants and their children not only survived, but managed to maintain their dignity and their connection to their own culture in the face of tremendous obstacles. The novel is clearly meant to be a tribute to these Korean-Americans and to their courage and steadfastness in refusing to be defeated by very difficult circumstances in a very strange land.

Abstract
This paper explains that highly regarded Unilever, who owns Walls Ice Cream, already has established its line of personal care products and food offerings in China. The author reports that, in 1992, Wall's management team concluded that the China population was ripe for expansion in the ice cream market. The paper points out that, although Walls' distribution strategy had been successful in many other countries, it required serious adaptation in China because of the high costs associated with the under-developed transportation and retail infrastructure and fragmented logistics service providers. The paper indicates that these costs were passed on to consumers, who were not willing to pay higher prices for what was perceived to be a local brand. The author concludes that Walls' initial logistics start up resulted in a missed opportunity due to under-utilization of Unilever's vast business network and resources, which were already located in many other regions of China.

From the Paper
"The company retained a series of independent distributors who sold ice cream from the back of trucks to street vendors and small independent retailers in large cities. Walls coaxed vendors into selling their brand exclusively by lending more than 42,000 refrigerators for free, but later found vendors misusing equipment to store frozen products from other manufacturers, and inventory shrinkage due to freezer theft. Walls' refrigerator investment was quite sizable and due to the fact that ice cream demand in China was seasonal, the point of purchase refrigerator investment was not the most cost-effective.

Abstract
This paper examines how the book, "Behind Mud Walls" by Charlotte and William Wiser, chronicles the lives of the women of Karimpur up to the year of 1960. It looks at how these rural women, their husbands, and children, were studied over a period of seventy-five years and shows how, during the 1960s, 1970s, 1984, and eventually into the 1990?s, the changes and the stasis inherent in the lives of the women of Karimpur were chronicled. It also discusses how the study proved particularly interesting, given the volatile political and social situation in India at the time.
From the Paper
"In 1930, the women of Karimpur worked almost entirely in mud enclosures. Their days were spent largely in menial labor, ensuring that their family could subside on a day-to-day basis. Their days began at dawn, when they gathered water for their family and their daily tasks of cooking and cleaning. They ground flour. They milked the family?s cow or buffalo. They prepared the ovens or chula for the day?s cooking. They swept. They collected dung for fuel. They gathered vegetables from the fields. Daily tasks that were finished early simply meant more time for spinning. (144-146) These women lived entirely concealed behind ?mud walls,? the hardness of their labor invisible to the eyes of the world. Although those of higher castes knew of these women, they both chose not to see the hardship of the women and also were prohibited by caste constraints from visiting them."

Abstract
This paper looks at how globalization results in creating a world that has torn down walls, collapsed distances, and spread information. It asks whether the world that has developed since globalization emerged is a better or worse place.
From the Paper
'Globalization is defined as the emergence of global society in which economic, political, environmental and cultural events that occur in one part of the world affect the people in other. It describes the growing economic, political, technological, and cultural linkages that connect individuals, communities, businesses, and governments around the world and hence, resulting in a world without walls. The most dramatic evidence of globalization is the increase in trade and the movement of stocks, bonds, currencies, and other investments. From 1950 to 2001 the volume of world exports rose by 20 times. By ?2001 world trade amounted to a quarter of all the goods and services produced in the world. As for capital, in the early 1970s only $10 billion to $20 billion? (Free Trade, www.encarta.com) in national currencies were exchanged almost daily. Globalization results in creating a world that has torn down walls, collapsed distances and spread information."

Born in San Francisco in 1874, Frost wrote, "a few poems it will be hard to get rid of? (Robert Frost)."

From the Paper
" Ralph David Abernathy's "autobiography," And The Walls Came Tumbling Down (New York: Harper & Row, 1989), not only relates the story of Ralph Abernathy, but it also offers an intimate, and distinctly unique, perspective into the nonviolent civil rights movement which reached its zenith in the 1960s. The story of the civil rights movement has been told by others, yet none have been as personally connected with the issues, the players, indeed, the experience, as was Abernathy, as a founder and, later, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), and as the personal friend, cellmate, and confidant of Martin Luther King, Jr.
The story begins in March, 1926, with the birth of "Little David" in the segregated Alabama agricultural community of Hopewell. His father, W. L. Abernathy, owned almost 500 acres of.."

How the Walls Were Papered, 2002.
An analysis of the history of women's health in the 19th century which helps us understand women's health care today.

Abstract
This paper discusses women's health in the 19th century as related to ideas, practices, and personalities that affected these concerns. It is important for us today to understand the historical precedent of the current status of women's health in order to evaluate our own perspectives and the sources from which they have evolved. The writer proposes that attitudes of men toward women were central to issues concerning women's health in the 19th century. Women with no legal identity separate from their husbands, had long been dependent on men for everything and were just beginning to awaken to the idea that they were going to have to stand up for themselves. The evidence presented includes a discussion of a short story detailing so called female hysteria, the diary of a midwife, historical background on trends of the times, in which childbirth, birth control, gynecological developments and personalities involved in women's health issues are central.
From the Paper
"This paper takes it title from the story, "The Yellow Wallpaper," by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The significance of the title is derived from the idea that exterior wallpaper can have a devastating effect on interior wallpaper, that is, that the inside of a woman's head can be papered with the concepts that dominate the decoration of her outer world. In this story, the husband, John, contributes to his wife's descent into madness simply by being himself, and treating her as most men of those times treated their wives. "The Yellow Wallpaper," written in 1892, when the majority of men believed strongly that women were weak and inferior, and needed care and guidance from their husbands, centers around the issue of power and control, especially in the marriage relationship. The story is skillfully constructed to show how the attitudes of male dominated society could drive women mad."

"The Splendor Falls on Castle Walls" ( Alfred, Lord Tennyson ), 1999.

From the Paper
" OUTLINE
I. Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Splendor Falls on Castle Walls" uses elements of song (lyrics), music, and rhyme to convey the suggestion or feeling that human life seems to end with death, but in fact continues through the "echoes" of love and longing shared by individuals.
A. The use of the bugle as the central image gives the poem a musical basis, for the bugle denotes both death, as in "Taps," and the longing of the living to remain connected to the dead.
II. The poem qualifies as a song in its brevity, its expression of the feelings or thoughts of an individual speaker, and in the absence of narrative. The song conveys a mood or feeling rather than a story, and gives to the reader not a philosophical.."

The yue-fu poem: "South of the Walls We Fought", 2002.
Analysis and explanation of the voices used in a yue-fu poem.
900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 1 source, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The question of the "voice" of a yue-fu poem is a complicated one given the circumstances under which these poems came to be written. This is a strange poem because it has more than one voice. In fact, parts of the poem are even in the quotation marks that usually separate speakers in prose. In the first section of the poem the voice is that of a soldier. However, it is important to note that the soldier never uses "I" as an individual. Instead, the "voice" always uses the pronoun "we" in reference to the entire group of soldiers in his unit.

?Mending Wall?, 2002.
A look at the symbolism of the wall in ?Mending Wall? by Robert Frost.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This poem reviews the poem, ?Mending Wall? by Robert Frost, and examines how Robert Frost uses the low stone walls, common in the countryside in New England, as a metaphor for the difficulties people may have connecting with each other. It discusses how Frost sees walls as a barrier between people, while his neighbor, who shares the wall with him, disagrees. It also shows how Frost notes that walls come down for destructive reasons and how he was probably influenced by World War I, since the poem was written in 1915.
From the Paper
"He wants his neighbor to consider why they must maintain this wall between themselves. He points out that there are no cows to keep contained, and that apple trees cannot walk from one farmer?s land to another?s, but all his neighbor will say about it is ?Good fences make good neighbors.? So now the reader sees the real wall is a personal one put up by his neighbor, who will do the heavy labor but not discuss the need for it with the other person working beside him, although always on the other side of the wall."

Abstract
This paper examines the character of Kim in Rudyard Kipling's novel, Kim, in respect to self- discovery and religion.

Abstract
This paper examines how the relationship of the main protagonist of Kim to his Indian environment and to his status as a member of the British Empire is comfortably resolved for the author Rudyard Kipling, by the end of the novel, but not for a modern reader. It analyzes how Kim?s fulfillment of his quest for a stable identity in the face of his personal social instability are paralleled throughout the novel with the political instability of the Indian subcontinent and the spiritual quest of the lama whom he befriends early in the novel?s narrative. It shows how only after his friend the lama also comes to the end of his spiritual quest, Kim is able to find a answer as to who he truly is as he is perceived by the outer world, by a class and caste confused society.
From the Paper
"Kim?s search for identity cannot be framed in terms of an uncomplicated pairing of India versus England. Kim is the son of an Irish man, and thus at best occupies only a marginal status as an Englishman, even if he were to dwell England itself. When Kim experiences his first period of confusion, it is not in the face of Indian treachery, but in the narrow understanding possessed by those attempting to civilize him as a purely white man at St. Xavier?s. Later, Kim realizes in his training for the British Secret service, that he must make use of both his native tools of strength of mind as well as his British training in mathematics. Only by using both unique attributes in combination can he resist the test for becoming a spy he submits to be the mystic Lurgan. Lurgan marvels at the boy?s uniqueness of mind, a uniqueness confirmed when Kim is comforted by a 'bairagi' during one of his crisis points of identity."

Abstract
This essay evaluates Robert Frost's poem "The Mending Wall."
