Abstract
This paper reviews the proposed Tennessee legislation for the Nurse Home Visitor Program, Tennessee House Bill 1892 and Senate Bill 2040. The program is designed to provide funding and structure to provide home visit nurses to aid in the reduction of the Tennessee infant mortality rate. This paper reviews the discouraging present state of affairs of infant mortality in Tennessee and the disparate effect upon White and African-American mothers. Finally the papper reviews the present state of the legislation and the fiscal impact of the program.
From the Paper
"The death of an infant child whether in utero, at birth, or within the first year of life is a tragedy that no family should endure. This is not only a traumatic event for the affected family, it affects the community at large and is a reflection of society in whole. The infant mortality rate for Tennessee in 2004 was 8.6 per thousand live born infants, nearly fifty percent higher than the national average of 6.6 ("Tennessee's Racial Disparity," 2006, p.2). This not only a fifty percent increase in the likelihood a family in Tennessee will experience the sadness of loosing an infant child, but it reflects poorly upon the state of public health in the state. The unfortunate state of affairs of public health was recognized by the Tennessee General Assembly, and a bill was introduced in February of 2007 to provide for nurse home visitations for low income, first-time mothers to provide prenatal through first year care for infants ("Bill History Section," 2007)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Tennessee played an important role in determining the outcome of the Civil War and how the battles fought there had a major impact on the Confederate army and led the way to its eventual destruction. It looks at how there were a number of important battles fought in Tennessee, including the Battle of Shiloh and the Battle of Chickamauga, and how the Union was able to win the war in Tennessee by joining the national army forces and maintaining its supply shipments, despite the efforts of the Confederates to starve them on Lookout Mountain.
From the Paper
"When the United States was first formed during the American Revolution, the North and South worked together to built the nation and adopt the Constitution. Over the years, sectionalism developed and increased, due to the South?s agricultural industry which was dependent on plantations and slavery, and the North?s expanding industrial areas and being more commercially advanced. The Missouri Compromise was established in 1820 as a means to end the hostility, but was unsuccessful as tension between the two sides built over ?the extension or prohibition of slavery in the West, difficulties over the tariff, troubles of internal improvements and territorial issues (unknown, civil war).?"

Abstract
In this paper the author examines the proposal by the governor of Tennessee, to introduce a new levy on the state income tax. According to the author, the proposed levy was to cover a short fall in revenues of the state. But, as the paper proceeds to discuss, there was a firestorm of political activity that raged as the voting public very swiftly and by every means available let their legislators know an income tax would not be appreciated. The author carries on discussing all of the political issues surrounding the taxation in Tennessee, including the budget shortfalls that became apparent when the accounts were publicized. He concludes that the state of Tennessee has a large mess on their hands and some difficult decisions to make before the final voting takes place.
From the Paper
"The Central Division runs from the Time Line to the North flowing Tennessee River 70 miles west of Nashville. This is now the largest population density area of the state and politically are a bunch of wishy-washy fence sitters that generally vote for the current hot button issue whether its Democratic or Republication. The Nashville area, including the manufacturing plants of Saturn, Nissan, to the south and all their allied industries plus a newly committed addition of several thousand jobs by the Dell Corporation in Nashville proper contribute heavily to the tax base but still remain third overall in contributions."

Abstract
In this paper the author looks at the characters in this play by Tennessee Williams. The author notes that despite the main character actual absence absent from the play, he has a profound impact on all the other characters and all their actions and emotions are centered on him. The author concludes by suggesting that Williams wrote the play as an outlet for his own emotions.
From the paper:
?Tennessee Williams uses this play as an outlet for his own pain, and his characters take on a truthful hue that no doubt strikes a chord in the audience. The Glass Menagerie is a play that no doubt has few characters more prominent that Mr. Wingfield, though Mr. Wingfield never once steps on stage. It is Mr. Wingfield's absence from this family that causes their own glass house to break.?

Romanticism in William Blake and Tennessee Williams, 2008.

Abstract
This paper explains that the multifaceted romantic movement is ripe with variety and reach with decidedly similar "romantic" characteristics and qualities interwoven throughout otherwise vastly different texts. The author points out that, despite their distinctive literary identities, countries of origin and time frames, William Blake and Tennessee Williams share a place in the artistically and timelessly transcendent Romantic epoch. The paper relates that one of the themes of the romantic movement in William Blake's 1793 poem 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell', which was written against the tumultuous historical backdrop of the American and French Revolution, is the duality of human nature. The author stresses that the Tennessee Williams' 1947 drama "A Streetcar Named Desire", like "Marriage", has the themes of personal confliction and social confinement.
From the Paper
"In addition to an emotional catharsis, Blanche aims for a physical and spiritual purification as well. She bathes excessively in a hot tub despite the sultry July temperature, refusing to be seen without her powder and perfume and "fancy fox fur pieces". She softens the harsh light in her bedroom with a festive Chinese lantern and even refuses to eat unwashed grapes. She demurs to Mitch that she "can't stand a naked light bulb, any more than a rude remark or a vulgar action", all the while deflecting his physical affection under the pretense of remaining refined."

Freud and Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", 2007.
This paper analyzes Sigmund Freud's "The Interpretation of Dreams" and "Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality" and then applies these theories to a psychoanalytical reading of Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof".

Abstract
This paper argues that Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic concepts illustrated in "The Interpretation of Dreams" and "Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality", which examine the discipline of dreams and sexuality, their implications and inner mechanisms, are significant tools for interpreting human behavior and intrinsic to learning critical theory. The author points out that, nonetheless, these theories are not strictly scientific, are not free from the taint of Freud's gross generalizations and sometimes represent his chauvinistic mindset. The author then uses these tools to disect Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and in doing so, aligns himself with both critics who stress the inherent nature of Freud's theories in Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" as well as with the critics who assert that examining the play from a strictly psychoanalytic perspective can limit and compartmentalize certain of its dramatic elements and themes. The paper includes many quotations.
From the Paper
"The theories in "Interpretation" are linked to ideas presented in "Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality", which is considered an equally prominent and definitive publication in Freud's career. Although "Three Essays" does not include case studies, it also closely examines the nature of sexuality, which begins in early childhood and, like the nature of dreams, is ridden with angst and hidden meanings. According to Freud, sexuality is the driving force for repression, neurosis, and hysteria. One exemplary concept is castration anxiety, an idea involving a deep-rooted fear originating from the phallic stage in young men."

Abstract
This paper relates that two of Tennessee Williams' most notable plays "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and "Streetcar named Desire" have been made into movies, which have become classics. The paper then discusses the similarities and the differences between the plays and concludes that, while both are good movies, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" has an element of truth that "Streetcar Named Desire" lacks. The paper includes dialogue from both films.
From the Paper
"For all the fierceness of the conflicts among the various members of the family, in the end, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" is a story of triumph. The story opens with Goober and Mae, with their children in tow, trying to get control of Big Daddy's fortune, and while they claim to be acting for everyone's good, their greed is transparent. Maggie and Brick are fighting and he is drunk so consistently that there seems little hope that they can weather this crisis. But they do. "

Abstract
When examining American literature at any given period, there are always a certain number of similarities existing between authors. This paper compares the styles of two great American authors, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller. The paper provides a general introduction to each of the author's history. It then moves on to show character similarities in works by both. Finally, the paper shows how each of the two use similar settings in their works. The paper focuses mainly on the play "The Glass Menagerie" by Williams and "The Death of a Salesman" by Miller.
From the Paper
"In Tennessee Williams? play The Glass Menagerie, the main role is Tom, a man faced with opportunity, but tied to home by the obligation of providing for his sister and mother. Likewise, in Arthur Miller?s play Death of a Salesman, the main role is that of Willy, a traveling salesman who could prosper in his efforts, were it not for the wife and children to take care of. Both Tom and Willy live in the city, surrounded by taller buildings which symbolize their opportunities being fulfilled by someone else. In the case of Willy, the sun that once shone so bright, (metaphoric of his high expectations in life) is gradually eclipsed by the ever growing skyline. (metaphoric of other, younger, obligation-free salesman taking his place gradually.) Both Tom and Willy are avid smokers, which they vow to quit. This is interesting because, in a way, this is a metaphor for their desire to succeed."

Abstract
This paper depicts Tennessee Williams's life from birth to death. It also summarizes and analyzes two of his most famous plays and relates them to Williams's life.
From the Paper
"Tennessee Williams wrote some of America's most famous plays. His life was riddled with obscurity and pain. He had an absent father, an eccentric mother, and a mentally ill sister. Tennessee used his writing as a form of escape and reflection of his life. Two of his most famous plays, "The Glass Menagerie" and "A Streetcar Named Desire", are perfect examples of his literary talents and use of incorporating his own life into his scripts."

Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie", 2005.
This paper reviews the human experiences confronted in Tennessee Williams' masterpiece "The Glass Menagerie".

Abstract
This paper explores how, in Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie", a mother's solipsism and self-absorption have destroyed the relationship between her and her children. The author points out that, like pieces of a glass menagerie, the family members are stuck in grid they really cannot escape from. The paper relates that the irony is that the tighter the mother clings to her children, the more distant they become.
From the Paper
"Tennessee Williams' famous play, "The Glass Menagerie", is a remarkable rendering of the human experience. This paper will explore human experience as it is presented in Williams' master-work. Specifically, this paper will talk about the tragedy visited upon the family by a mother who cannot let the past go and cannot bear to confront the present. By retreating to tyrannically control those things she can -chiefly her children - she ensures that they will not be able to escape the past, either. With that in mind, this paper turns now to Tennessee William's haunting masterpiece. In the preface to the play, Williams describes Amanda Wingfield as 'not paranoiac, but her life is paranoia' (5). She is a petite women of 'confused vitality' clinging pertinaciously to a world that no longer exists (Williams 5)."

From the Paper
"A great deal of literature deals with the impact of birth order, environment, parenting and other aspects related to sibling relationships. Both film versions of Tennessee Williams' dramas "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" feature intense sibling rivalries. In "Streetcar", the rivalry is between Blanche DuBois and her younger sister Stella Kowalski. In "Cat", the rivalry is between Gooper Pollitt and his younger brother Brick. The rivalry between Blanche and Stella is more one of attachment rivalry than is..."
