Abstract
This paper examines why Charles Robinson Smith's letter to the editor, of the "New York Times," usually relegated to the op-ed section of the paper, ended up on the front page. This paper details the contents of Smith's letter which was a simple analysis of the post-war European debt. This paper discusses the after effects of WWI, including societal changes that were heaped upon the advancing world. As power and money becoming singly intertwined after the war, Britain, France, and the U.S. became undisputed powers. The writer of this paper contends and explains why the end of the war not only highlighted Europe's indebtedness to America for its involvement in the struggle, but also a fiscal indebtedness for the financial assistance. This paper analyzes Smith's unique understanding of the modern western world, by stating that England and France had different levels of indebtedness to the U.S. that were not based upon expenditures in war effort, but were instead historical, which are cited in this paper.
From the Paper
"Among the many other affects of the War were the societal changes it heaped upon the advancing world. The maintaining vestige of the changes was an ever-present financial pressure, one felt not only at home but also abroad. As power and money becoming singly intertwined after the war, Britain, France, and the United States became undisputed powers. The United States, previously a lesser unknown across the ocean, stretched its finances and flexed its military muscle to help the other countries, all of which witnessed great governmental expansion on home turf. At the end of the war, citizens were left with heaps of new taxes and levies; in the European Countries, these were, in part, the responsibility to pay back the debts to the American government."

Abstract
This persuasive piece is intended as a persuasive letter to the editor, detailing the case for the introduction of condom vending machines into high schools. It argues that today's youth are sexually active at a much younger age, and they should be practicing safe sex rather than unsafe sex, whether it is approved of or not.
From the Paper
"The recent suggestion made by the Federal Health Minister to introduce condom machines into senior secondary schools has re-ignited a long-standing debate upon the morality of both our youth and today?s society. Opponents have been outraged by the government?s suggestion, however it is important to look at the substance behind their arguments. Are their objections wholly moral and, if so, does this mean we are forced to examine society?s current morals? Are their arguments logical and substantiated, taking into account the facts relevant to ?Generation X?? Or is their stance outdated; children of a ?more civilised? generation taking their expired and antiquated morals into adulthood with them?"

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is written in the form of a letter to the editor. The paper discusses a magazine called "Parents", which assigns parenting responsibilities completely to the mother. The paper argues that the magazine presents distorted and misleading information, particularly with regards to a specific article within it about autism.
From the Paper
"Critical Magazine Analysis: Parents Parents is a magazine that assigns parenting responsibilities completely to the mother. The magazine views mothers as caregivers for the family, protectors from childhood diseases, and as needing awareness to prevent major conditions. While the cover presents "Early Signs of Autism", this complex topic is covered in a very brief paragraph with three questions. The 'information' is misleading since the problem might be deafness."

Matthew's Letter to Paul, 2002.

Abstract
This essay is in the form of a letter from the Apostle Matthew to Paul. The letter cogently outlines Matthew's points of disagreement with Paul on issues of doctrine, practice and adherence to the laws according to the Old Testament.
From the Paper
"Dear Paul,
"I have come upon your letter written to the people of Galatia and I am appalled that you take the laws of the Torah so lightly. You claim that you received a revelation from Jesus Christ and are; therefore, an apostle of Jesus. How then could you have misunderstood the reason for his existence here on earth? You have stated, "A man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ" and that "by observing the law no one will be justified." You are preaching this to Gentile Christians, telling them they are not required to obey the Law of Moses. You do this because you believe Jesus came to abolish the Jewish laws, while the opposite is true."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the basic assumptions and thesis of Sarah Grimke's Letters on the Equality of the Sexes. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which the letters were written, and then to discuss the principal lines of argument that Grimke uses to develop her ideas about the perceived need to end the subjection of women.
To understand the development of Grimke's ideas of women's emancipation, it is useful to realize the social environment in which she wrote. The 1830s and 1840s in America were well within the first half-century of American society as such. Popular knowledge of the period is that there were a good deal of illiteracy, a good deal of activity, a good deal of experimentation at the cultural level, as American life found its own--i.e., non-European--roots. Slavery was a part of that..."

Letters of Credit, 2007.

1,680 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the generally accepted rule for banks that have issued a letter of credit, is that they do not need to look beyond the face of the documents to determine if a transaction involves fraud. The author points out that, if the documents on their face appear to be conforming documents, the bank will draw down the letter of credit, paying the beneficiary or seller. The paper states that, if the buyer can show apparent fraud before the bank pays on the letter of credit, then the buyer can approach the bank to prevent payment and can seek an injunction from a court if necessary. The author stresses that the bank can insist that all documents necessary to fulfill the letter of credit conform strictly. The paper presents cases and includes quotations.
From the Paper
"This essay considers the following scenario: In an international sales contract, buyer and seller agree that payment will be made through the use of a letter of credit. The buyer obtains a letter of credit from the bank, designating the seller as the beneficiary, and specifying the documents the seller must present to satisfy the letter. The seller presents documents which are on their face sufficient to warrant payment. These documents are forged or otherwise contain falsified information. Based on the documents, the bank pays the seller pursuant to the terms of the letter of credit."

The Bible: Paul's Letter to the Philippians, 2008.
Looks at the Apostle Paul's letter to the Philippians, one of the most powerful and evocative addresses found in the New Testament.

Abstract
The paper explores the Apostle Paul's letter to the Philippians. In particular, the paper discusses the author, the circumstances and historical period surrounding the writing of the letter , the culture of the age, the main themes and characters mentioned by Paul in his epistle and why they are important. The paper also examines the "then and there" meaning of the text, the "here and now" meaning as it is read in the twenty-first century and its impact on the author. The paper suggests that Paul's letter captures the spirit of his time, the pressures under which he and the church labored, and the high expectations all Christians are expected to satisfy. The paper concludes that the letter is a didactic bit of prose defining true Christian leadership.
From the Paper
"Scanning over Paul's letter, it is manifest that the "then and there" meaning was to give praise to his followers while simultaneously admonishing them to not fall into the bad ways of others. In a related vein, Paul's sharp criticism of the Pharisees exposes his contempt for the non-believers and it would seem he uses them as an example of individuals who fail to value the word of God, preferring somehow to believe that they know better than the teachings of Christ."

Darcy's Letter to Elizabeth, 2005.
An analysis of Darcy's letter to Elizabeth in "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.
1,061 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Darcy's letter to Elizabeth in Jane Austen's novel, "Pride and Prejudice," is significant because it not only reveals his true character, but it also reveals certain aspects of the truth to which Elizabeth was oblivious. It also shows how, considering the circumstances in which Darcy wrote the letter, we can conclude that he successfully achieves his purpose. His letter is an attempt to defend himself, which he does, but it is also a turning point in that it forces Elizabeth to see a Darcy she did not know.
From the Paper
"Darcy adds credibility to his letter because he does not attack Elizabeth in a way that appears to be purposeful. For instance, he tells her, "If you have not been mistaken here, I must have been in error. Your superior knowledge of your sister must make the latter probable. If it be so, if I have been misled by such error to inflict pain on her, your resentment has not been unreasonable" (148). These statements help Elizabeth understand that his intent is not to hurt her, get back at her, or have the final word but to honestly explain things from his perspective. This approach goes a long way when it comes to proving a point."

Abstract
The paper begins with a background to the letter and a synopsis of its main points. It looks at the three different audiences that the letter intends to address, explores the tone of authority used by King and discusses the moral and political statements he uses in his defense. The effectiveness of King?s appeal to the emotions of his fellow black American countrymen is also dealt with. The paper concludes by investigating the elements of ?ethos? (appeals based on validity and character) and the elements of ?pathos? (appeals to emotions) contained in the letter.
From the Paper
"Martin Luther King Jr.?s letter from Birmingham Jail, which was written in April 16, 1963, is a passionate letter that addresses and responds to the issue and criticism that a group of white clergymen had thrown at him and his pro- black American organization about his and his organization?s non- violent demonstrative actions against racial prejudice and injustice among black Americans in Birmingham. King writes the letter to defend his organization?s actions and the letter is also an appeal to the people, both the white and black American society, the social, political, and religious community, and the whole of American society to encourage desegregation and encourage solidarity and equality among all Americans, with no stratifications according to racial differences.
King?s letter from Birmingham Jail addresses the American society, particularly the political and religious community of the American society. Specifically, King?s letter addresses three important groups in the American society: the white American political community, white American religious community, and the black American society. King addressed these communities as the primary groups wherein racial segregation is continuously proliferated (the white American political and religious community) and points much of his arguments to and for his fellow black Americans in the society. King?s main thesis in writing the Birmingham letter is that, racial segregation, or injustice to the black American society, is due to the continuous encouragement of the white American society, particularly the powerful communities in politics and religions. King defends his primary thesis all throughout the length of his letter, and the arguments that he has made to prove that his thesis is true and valid will be the focus of this rhetorical analysis.
In addressing and confronting the problem of injustices among the black Americans in the American society, particularly the violence that had happened in Birmingham, and generally, the inequality and racial prejudice happening in his American society, King argues his position by using both moral, social, and political references and logic for his arguments to be considered valid and agreeable. The response desired in his letter is agreement and appeal for the part of the white American society to abolish segregation and discontinue the injustices happening to his fellow black Americans, while King appeals to his black American fellowmen for unity and solidarity, which is an essential factor for their cause to be achieved (that is, the prevention and eventual abolishment of racial prejudice, inequality, and injustice."

Paul's Letter To The Galatians, 2002.
An analysis of the origin, meaning and impact of Paul's letter to the Galatians and to the faithful in general.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper will set out the background to the letter, before looking at why Paul wrote it and what he had to say to the Galatians and to the faithful in general. It will argue that Paul was attempting to counter the message of a group of Judaizers within the Church who argued that the Gentile converts had to abide by Jewish law. In his letter to the Galatians, Paul argues that righteousness is justified by faith in Christ, and not by relying on law. The crux of this paper's argument is that Paul's letter to the Galatians was about replacing allegiance to a code of law with allegiance to a person, this being Jesus Christ.

Keats' Letters Regarding Poetry and Life, 2002.
This paper analyzes Keats' letters offer and tries to shed light on his attitudes, ideas and feelings.

Abstract
The first section focuses upon Keats' letters with regards to his ideas and attitudes reflected within his poetry. The second section analyzes what is described within the letters. It shows that the topics of the letters concern his life, character, family and critics as well as many other aspects of his career and life as a poet.
From the Paper
"Keats' letters are a series of letters to his family and friends, expressing his views upon a wide range of issues, not the least of which were literary, moral and philosophical. It is deemed obvious that from his letters creates a man who had so much to say but so little time and space to say it all, and this becomes clear as the letters stray from one subject to another. It is apparent in many of his letters that his ideas are not fully developed and the reader can easily see his thoughts and ideas taking shape as he gropes for the right words. Within these letters Keats shows his mind at word as he grappled with his ideas about poetry, about the actual nature of a poet and the obvious relationships between poetry, reality, philosophy and most importantly feelings. He also had the ability to conjure up amazing imagery and phrases within his letters."
