Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes Peter Jackson's film "King Kong". Specifically it discusses human/animal relationships in the film, which the author views as the key to the plot and theme of the movie. The author also uses Anna's relationship with Kong as an example of finding the good in others.
From the Paper
"At home on the Skull Island Kong is a fearsome creature. He is also the dominant animal on the island and has control over all the other beasts, and the humans, too. They all acquiesce to him and worship him. Thus, in his own environment he is truly "king," and so, he cannot cope with being caged and gawked at by onlookers. He is no longer in control of anything, and this sets the stage for all the human and animal relationships in the film. By removing Kong from his native environment, the loose the "beast" so to speak and they pave the way for the inevitable conclusion. Kong does not belong in the city any more than the filmmakers belong in the jungles of Skull Island. Bringing his back to captivity places them in control over the beast, and of course, he will do anything he can to survive and return to his home. He is not a domestic animal, and he should not be expected to adapt. He is not adaptable, he has always made others adapt to his wishes and demands. "

Abstract
This paper compares the leadership styles and abilities of King Saul and King David and explains how they were different as well as why it is King David's reign that is considered the golden era of the Kingdom of Israel.
From the Paper
"It is almost as if, and maybe there is some reality in it, that Saul had a dual personality. One which could love God with all his heart, but then another that was fanatical enough to kill others for no real reason, or disobey God so radically. One moment he could be proud of David, the next he would be jealous enough to kill him. Today he would be called pathological since he was abnormally defensive and over-reactive. He had the potential to be a great leader one that Israel and Heaven could be perpetually proud but instead he became a terrible figure who died a rejected man at his own hand, a victim of his own self-will."

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship of parents and children in Sophocles "Oedipus the King" and Wole Soyinka?s "Death and the King?s Horseman". The writer describes how Sophocles allows Oedipus? theme of parentage full stage in the play, while in Soyinka?s work, Elesin?s son, Olunde, contributes to the plot throughout the play.
From the Paper
"Although written some two thousand years apart, both ?Oedipus the King? and ?Death and the King?s Horseman? deal with a father?s shame and ultimate fate as a social outcast. One is a king, the other a king?s horseman, yet both are equally men of honor and social standing, bound by customs, cultures, and spiritual beliefs in the afterlife. There are no true villains in either play. The characters are simply human, with human frailties and vanities, but appear good at heart with good intentions. The nature of parenthood is important in each author?s theme. Sophocles?s Oedipus and Wole Soyinka?s Elesin are both fathers who inadvertently cast shame not only unto themselves, but to their children as well. Moreover, both fathers are concerned with the fates and their own personal role in fulfilling their place in this life and the life beyond death. Sophocles?s play centers on Oedipus? parentage, discovering in the end that he has unwittingly killed his own father and committed incest with his mother."

Abstract
The falsification of the audience?s expectations and Hal?s miraculous emergence as a great English king, alongside the Hal-Falstaff relationship out of which the future king?s identity is gradually constructed, are the main critical puzzles in most studies of the William Shakespeare's "King Henry" series. The paper examines concepts of fraud and politics in parts one and two of "King Henry IV" and in "King Henry V". It discusses notions by literary critics such as Stephen who claim that Hal is one of Shakespeare?s most Machiavellian characters. The paper argues that Machiavelli?s Prince is not sufficiently cruel or sophisticated to be ranked with Prince Hal, despite the fact that Falstaff?s cry for help, voiced in his paradoxical accusation that the Prince has corrupted him, seldom succeeds in inverting the audience?s impression that Falstaff is Hal?s misleader.
From the Paper
"The concept of necessity, as it arises from the morality-patterned Phychomachia, reinforces providentialist notions, an idea first advanced by Tillyard but in a rather different context. Religious providentialism fuses the personal and political domains and Hal?s borrowing from the theatrical and diachronic anthropological deposit causes the interweaving of theatrical illusion with politics, thus displaying their common structural patterns. The fusion of religion, politics and theatre culminates in Hal?s gradual conversion to virtue, which is at once a milestone in Hal?s allegedly privileged relationship with God, a major political event, and a stock trick of Elizabethan drama."

From the Paper
"The Civil Rights Movement in its contemporary form started in 1955 with an act of mild disobedience by a black woman on a bus in the Deep South. Black leaders developed several strategies over the next few years, strategies that would be successful in changing laws and in getting some of the long-standing discriminatory institutions of the South changed. Between 1954 and 1965, the Civil Rights Movement developed into a major movement for social justice, societal change, and self-determination for millions of black Americans. The tactics undertaken by the movement have ranged from violent to nonviolent, with nonviolent predominating under the direction of Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers. The movement started first around the busing issue in Montgomery, Alabama, but it was also the culmination of decades of frustration nearly a century ..."

New York City as Represented in Two Films, 2002.
An examination of the portrayal of New York in two films - King Vidor?s "The Crowd" (1928) and "King Kong" (1933), directed by Merian C. Cooper.

Abstract
This paper examines the way in which New York is portrayed in these two classic movies. The paper shows how in both films, New York is represented as a foreboding steel and concrete landscape, a haven for cynics who care little about naive newcomers and a center for machinery and industry which often does as much harm as good. The paper compares and contrast the storylines of the two movies - "King Kong" about a huge gorilla monster trying to escape the city but causing panic and havoc in his wake; and "The Crowd" which is about a common man, lost in New York City, seeking to find those basic qualities of success, happiness and home.
From the Paper
"The Crowd and King Kong?s use of New York, at lease on the surface, seem to be diametrically opposite. Vidor?s film was a fable, grown out of and set in the most populist and socialist days of the country, when artists were eager to include the struggle of the common man in their themes. Kong, meanwhile was more of a ?B movie,? less well acted and hinging its success on what at the time were breakthroughts in stop-motion animation and special effects."

Abstract
This essay uses Adam Hochschild?s book," King Leopold?s Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror and Heroism in Colonial Africa," in order to explore the role of various people responsible for the mass killings in the Congo in 1979. The author details the conflict, the history of the region, the players, both local and foreign, whose knowledge and decency exposed the massacre and its cover-up by King Leopold.
From the Paper
"Just as Leopold and his aides were involved in the exploitation of the country, there was one man who actively worked towards exposing this tragedy thereby forcing Leopold to give the people of Congo their independence. His name was Edmund D. Morel, a British shipping company clerk who noticed that ships coming from Congo carried valuables like ivory and rubber but those that went back contained nothing but soldiers and arsenal. This made him suspicious and so he resigned from his job to form the Congo Reform Association (CRA), an organization that made the horrors of the Congo region public. Morel used information smuggled out by missionaries such as William Sheppard and George W. Williams, the former being later involved in a libel suited filed against him by Leopold."

Aurelius also fought with Octa, the son of Hengist, which led to Octa?s defeat. Aurelius? kingship brought about the re-establishment of Logres. He was soon poisoned by Paschent, Vortigern?s son.

King Josiah Reforms, 2005.
This paper compares two different accounts of King Josiah's reforms as found in 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the two versions of King Josiah's reforms in 2 Kings 22-23 and 2 Chronicles 34-35 are similar, at least in the beginning. The version in Chronicles adds a second story concerning the keeping of the Passover. The author points out that both tales depict King Josiah as a great reformer, a king who restored the true traditions of Israel and who faithfully followed the precepts of God. The paper relates that both versions dwell on Josiah's actions in wiping out paganism; Josiah avails himself of every possible means to completely and totally erase from view objects and symbols of error.
From the Paper
"The stories of King Josiah's reign that are found in 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles agree in their condemnation of bad practices. They agree too, in the need for God's order to be maintained and in the necessity of those who are charged with setting a good example to set such a good example. The second version adds to the original story only because the author feels that he must, as evidently the people of Israel have slipped even further from the righteous path. It made sense to him to include an accurate description of the celebration of Passover in the story of a King who was already widely believed to be especially holy and especially committed to the propagation of God's truth. Thus, these two versions of the same story differ because their intended audiences differ."

Abstract
This paper analyzes King Lear's transformation of character in William Shakespeare's tragic play, "King Lear." It shows how King Lear's all-too-human reaction to disrespect from within his own family forces a metamorphoses, a turning point, that transforms a controlling man into one who is controlled. The paper discusses the progression of the play and of the power of the character of King Lear.
From the Paper
"Unfortunately, Lear does not realize that he has made terrible decisions until his entire kingdom crashes down upon him. Only after he has lost all of his power and land does Lear recognize the fallacy of his judgment and change his character into a caring human being. The loss of one's power base and one's possessions in the later years in life is a typical transformation that takes place for the elderly. They must rely on their children to care for them with their best interests at heart. The failure of children to consider the best interests of aging parents can be disheartening to the aging person. The parent becomes the child, but often cannot successfully fulfill that role. Like Lear, they die of a broken heart."

The Fool in "King Lear", 2006.
Explores the role of the Fool in Shakespeare's tragic play, "King Lear".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The Fool in William Shakespeare's "King Lear" is often mistaken as foolhardy, but everything he says has a deeper significance and greater truth. Since he is the court jester, the audience assumes that the Fool's main purpose is to entertain us. The paper shows that the Fool's dramatic function is not to humor us, but to tell King Lear the truth through his metaphoric rhymes and jests. The Fool is a representation of King Lear's psyche. The paper explains that when the Fool disappears after Act III, scene ii, what is left of King Lear's stable mentality quickly disintegrates. The relationship between King Lear is not one of master and servant. The Fool could be considered King Lear's subconscious; he has perceptions the King Lear does not. With his knowledge, the Fool tries to teach King Lear how to reason out the truth for himself.
From the Paper
"The Fool states that King Lear was wise in a time when he did not need it as he doe now. King Lear was a wise King but when his wisdom was greatly needed he did not apply his knowledge. The Fool states that he is merely a Fool, but he would rather be a Fool than a befallen King. He strives to inform Lear of how adverse his situation is, but King Lear still does not fully comprehend the Fool's metaphors. Before King Lear decided to see his other daughter, Regan, the Fool warns King Lear that Regan's reception will be similar if not worse than Gonerils'."

Martin Luther King?s ?Letter to Birmingham?, 2004.
This paper discusses Martin Luther King?s use of various rhetorical strategies in Paragraphs One through Three of King?s ?Letter to Birmingham?.
795 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that King uses emotion, appeals to authority, and a sense of goodwill to establish a certain atmosphere within the first three paragraphs of his letter to help him win over his audience. The author points out that by the first paragraph with ?My dear fellow clergymen", King appeals to the authority or reputation of his audience because the use of the word ?dear? first allows his audience to be clear that his intentions are not negative. The paper relates that King uses terms such as ?dear?, ?good will?, ?genuine?, ?sincere?, ?patient?, and ?reasonable? to convey a sense of goodwill and friendliness.
From the Paper
"Still another strategy King uses is emotional appeal. In paragraph one, we see King?s reference to his position as ?confined here in the Birmingham city jail.? (King, 1963, paragraph 1). King does not accuse anyone of blame for his position, but appeals to their emotions through his statement of the obvious. King continues with this strategy through his description of the criticisms he receives on a regular basis for his work. Again, he does not blame anyone for that, but gently reminds his audience that he is frequently criticized."
