Their names are quit familiar through out our society due to their accomplishments in the past. Certainly, if I threw out the name of James Clerk Maxwell, some people would sit there and ponder whether or not the name sounds familiar to them.

Abstract
There are two kinds of stories in "Dubliners" - those that are intimate and really involve the readers with the characters and those that are detached and show the reader as being more of just a casual observer. Both of the story types are fascinating, but not everyone will like the stories because of the different feelings that they often invoke in the readers. However, the main purpose of this paper is not to discuss the book specifically, but instead to discuss how it relates to the actual life that James Joyce lived.
From the Paper
"Even though the idea of hope is very important to the stories in "Dubliners", this does not mean that the book is full of happy endings. On the contrary, there are very few happy endings in the book. Instead, there are only the stories that Joyce tells, what happens to the people in them, the choices that they make, and what kinds of consequences that these individuals experience based on the choices that they make. Many of the people in the stories do not think of the future or even really realize that it is ahead of them."

"Much to his later chagrin, James Grover Thurber was brought hesitantly into the world on December 8, 1894, the second son of junior politician Charles Leander and the extraordinarily eccentric Mary Thurber. Thurber's mother was in fact an incorrigible practical joker upon whom her son relied for inspiration for many of his partly autobiographical stories, particularly those contained in his best-known work, My Life and Hard Times, written in 1933."

From the Paper
" This study will examine the fifteen different kinds of experiences described by Raymond A. Moody, Jr. in Life After Life: The Investigation of A Phenomenon---Survival of Bodily Death. These experiences are features of the dying experience. Moody's book depends on the accounts of individuals who have "died" and returned from that experience. Therefore, it cannot be seen as a scientific work. Moody admits that a "proof" of these experiences are not "presently possible" (xvi). If the reader is to get anything out of the book, he or she must open his or her heart and mind to the possibility of the near-death experience.
Moody wants to try to answer the question "What is it like to die?" (1). For such an answer, he goes to people who have had, or who claim to have had, an experience in which they have physically "died" and come back to life. They are the only ones.."

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 ..."

Abstract
This paper reviews Richard Rutt's biography of James Scarth Gale, entitled "James Scarth Gale and his History of the Korean People." The paper begins by providing a background of James Gale and his development into a missionary to Korea. It then review the style of Rutt's writing and the content of his work and concludes that Rutt's biography of James Scarth Gale makes for interesting reading.
From the Paper
"This book contains some additional vagaries, which in part took away from the overall experience of reading it. For whatever reason, Rutt chooses not to capitalize the names of religions, making them "presbyterian," "catholic," or "buddhist." He also refuses to capitalize the Roman numerals that he uses to identify Bible verses. In addition, after a certain point in the book, Rutt alternately refers to Gale as "Gale" and "Dr Gale." Although these things area all relatively minor, they are distractions that required the reader to adapt to reading Gale's biography, rather than allowing immediate immersion into the text."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"William James' central conflict, as one biographer saw it, was between his "Promethean" and "mystical" selves: one manifested itself in the philosopher's pragmatism and democratic ideals; the other manifested itself via his long fascination with metaphysics, psychical research, higher consciousness studies, and the like (Raposa 2001). This dichotomy may be overly reductive, but it does show something of James' divided (yet highly functional) self. Observers agreed in describing William James as "tolerant, manly, liberal, romantic, impetuous, mystical, generous, anti-traditionalistic, sensitive, brilliant, kind, eloquent." They saw him, despite his self-confessed depressive states, as optimistic, anti-fatalistic and very sociable. Like all great men, William James possessed a complex, even contradictory nature, which he utilized to his advantage to create and push himself to higher levels of accomplishment, even in the face of depression and self-doubt."

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."

This paper explores the general atmosphere in America during Monroe's term in which the economy was suffering and the issue of slavery had not yet been resolved. This paper examines the events that led to the Civil War during Monroe's presidency. The writer also discusses Monroe's talent for building solid relationships with foreign countries, particularly with Great Britain.

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Monroe's presidency was termed as an "era of good feeling" because of political talent and skills. However, everything started to turn the opposite in the following years of his term. Economic depression occurred and Monroe was unable to provide strong action to resolve his country's economic problems. Civil War also soon followed. This was undoubtedly worsened by Monroe's signing of the Missouri Compromise which states that the Missouri is a slave state and Maine as a free one. Although Monroe was known to be an advocate of the bill of rights, he did not take a stand to defend Missouri. This is one of the weaknesses that the people saw in him as a President. Despite of the weaknesses that Monroe had shown in alleviating the economy of his country, as well as in defending the rights of the people of Missouri, he became successful in allowing good US relationship with foreign countries."

James Baldwin, 2006.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the life and many works of James Baldwin and discusses what they reveal about his views on racism, the African-American experience, American society, the world and the works of other African-American authors. The paper also looks at why Baldwin left America to live in Europe, how his homosexuality and the problems of race affected him and the criticism leveled at him for never becoming a truly great voice for the black man.
From the Paper
"Whether the pain was at all intellectual, one leaves for the critics. There was certainly an emotional and physical pain in that Baldwin was both black and gay. His words were not flecked with acid as the early LeRoi Jones, or covered in the tears of self-abuse like Ralph Ellison. He also did not spring from the Harlem Renaissance, which fostered so many Negro writers and poets whose Pulitzer Prize nominations still did not allow them to drink from white water fountains in the South. Baldwin dignified indignities like no other had done in quite the same way. He did not see himself as the Invisible Man, but used his visibility to describe the pain of being black, of being homosexual, of being an intellect waiting to burst out to say and compose something meaningful."

He is the patron saint of Pilgrims. He is also the patron of all things Spanish because of his works and the bringing and preaching of the gospel in Spain. St. James is called The Greater because of one reason, he was made an apostle before the other St. James The Lesser. "
