Abstract
This paper discusses tone in literature, specifically in the novel "Charlotte's Web". The writer contends that tone in literature can be considered as the author's expression of the story much like a person's tone of voice when speaking and that it is the tone that is used to relay the message of the story. The paper suggests and describes many expressions of tone, such as comical, lighthearted, angry, thoughtful, or very matter-of-fact and without implied emotion.
From the Paper
"Tone in literature can be considered as the author's expression of the story - much like a person's tone of voice when speaking - it is the tone in literature that the author uses to relay the message, or the attitude that the reader perceives from reading the book (Stauffer; Lukens). This tone can be expressed in a variety of ways. It can be comical, lighthearted, angry, thoughtful, or very matter-of-fact and without implied emotion."

Abstract
This paper attempts to understand how friendship, death, and immortality intertwine in "Charlotte's Web" by looking at the life of Wilbur the pig. It shows how an examination of Wilbur's life reveals several topics from his relationship with Fern and his friends Charlotte and Templeton. It analyzes his dependencies and his losses and the rebirths that result from them.
From the Paper
"Of course, from the very beginning of Charlotte's Web, one also comes to realize that one is reading a powerful story about friendship. While rescuing the baby pig was simply a random act of kindness, Fern quickly befriends the young pig, whom she names Wilbur. However, Fern's friendship with Wilbur is passing in nature. Although she is a very caring young girl, Fern has grown up on a farm and eventually comes to realize that, as a pig on a farm, Wilbur was born to die. Of course, the friendship between Fern and Wilbur is merely a precursor to the true tale of friendship in Charlotte's Web: the friendship between Wilbur and a gray barn spider, Charlotte A. Cavitica."

Abstract
This paper compares White's stories, showing why and how they were so popular among children and why they continue to be. It compares the main characters of the novels and looks at their similarities, since both are cute animals.
From the Paper
"White loved to entertain his eighteen nieces and nephews with stories that he created. The story of Stuart Little was inspired by a vivid dream that White had in 1939. The dream began to tell the tale of a small adventurous mouse-like character that was born to and lived with a human family. White gave him the ability to talk to humans, and Stuart possessed human like qualities such as love, compassion, and had a feeling for adventure. Stuart Little, White?s first children's book, is a ?whimsical, picaresque? (Biography Resource Center, 2003)."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the future of the web and of web building tools. The paper presents a brief overview of early web page building languages and then discusses how the tools needed have changed over time, making it simpler for those with fewer technical skills to build web pages. The paper further explains that the increasing simplicity of building web pages is an indication that a new type of communications system, with different rules and perceptions, may lie in the future.
From the Paper
"In the very early years of the Internet's development, Web pages could only be constructed by directly using HyperText Markup Language to HTML. HTML is defined as " A markup language designed for the creation of web pages and other information viewable in a browser. The focus of HTML is on the presentation of information- paragraphs, fonts, italics, tables, and so forth- rather than the semantics- what the words mean." ( Onelook) WebPages were created usually by using a simple text editor such as Windows Notepad to write the underlying syntax. This language was created and displayed the web page in conjunction with an application known as the Web Browser. The early Web browsers like Netscape, in conjunction with the underlying language, allowed for the standardization of the Web, so that all web pages could be displayed, viewed and interacted with by the browser users."

Abstract
This paper evaluates the foundations of three pieces of differing literary works of women through the eyes of feminist literary criticism. It begins by defining the theory of feminist criticism in its various forms. The paper analyzes "The Yellow Wallpaper," written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, "How to Talk to a Hunter," written by Pam Houston and "The Sparkling Bitch," written by Pauline Melville.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Body
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Among these three works are three completely differing context and writing styles, though they can be drawn together through two divergent and connected sets of feminist literary criticism to be shown to demonstrate communication barriers in relationships between men and women. This work creates a sense of the whole of the works value by assessing each work with both the ideals of great love for the expression of women through literature and the evaluation of how women's literature clearly identifies both old and new avenues of oppression, by the patriarchal society. In The Yellow Wallpaper (1892) the expression of the feminie as helpless is complete, in How to Talk to a Hunter (1990) the modern assessment of how to interpret the messages of a relationship is discussed universally and in The Sparkling Bitch the complete disconnection of an individual man from his wife is detailed as an example of the disconnect the patriarchal society has from the feminine.

"Charlotte Temple", 2006.
A review of Susanna Rowson's novel "Charlotte Temple".
1,340 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 0 sources, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how Rowson intended "Charlotte Temple" to act as a cautionary tale to the young women of the time to show them the devastating consequences of entering into a sexual relationship before marriage. In particular, the paper looks at how, in analyzing the use of misfortune and benevolence throughout the story, particularly in the relation of the story of Charlotte's parents, we see that "Charlotte Temple" exists beyond the genre of a cautionary narrative, also acting as a parable of virtue to inspire its readers to act with generosity and benevolence to those who had fallen on misfortune.
From the Paper
"The opening chapter of Charlotte Temple, in which Montraville first encounters and is enamored by the beautiful and innocent Charlotte, serves to establish a basis for the novels primary plot and themes. The second chapter of the book, however, introduces the subtler plots and themes of the story, with the detailed history of Charlotte's parents. The chapter begins by introducing the readers to Charlotte's father, Henry Temple, the younger son of an English Earl with a kind heart and gentle disposition. Possessing a small fortune and an illustrious pedigree, both society and Mr. Temples family expected him to marry into wealth and nobility. However Henry Temple's rejection of his place at the top of the English hierarchy serves to reveal the true content of his character by exemplifying his kindness, virtue, and benevolence. Further illustrating Mr. Temple's altruistic attributes are his interactions with the Eldridges, a family lowered into a state of poverty and imprisonment by the great misfortunes they endured. Mr. Eldridge, a former army captain with little wealth, borrowed money from his son's friend, Lewis, to fund his daughter's education. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the revenues and funding for the city of Charlotte. It discusses the sources of the government's funding and then looks at why the proprietary funds for the city of Charlotte have deficits that have not supported the costs associated with those funds. The paper finally looks at the revenue policy and community values for the city of Charlotte.
Table of Contents:
Revenue: Governmental, Proprietary, and Fiduciary
Restrictions
Receipt of Revenues
Revenue Projections
Revenue Policy and Community Values
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The research indicates that revenues for the city are used to support proprietary, governmental and fiduciary funds. In relation to proprietary and governmental funds, these revenues have not been sufficient over the long term to support all of the programs and services that the have been determined to be essential for the people of Charlotte. However, there has also bee a large growth in the diverse population of Charlotte, which has created additional revenues and provide for a surplus fund that is often used to balance the budget or address community need when appropriate. It is this surplus fund that could be used in part to provide for the MWDBE program, which would serve to support the diverse community that Charlotte views as integral to its continued growth."

Abstract
This paper explains that Charlotte Perkins Gilman suffered from postpartum depression (PPD) in the 19th century; her semi-autobiographical story "The Yellow Wallpaper" offers significant insights into her anguish. The author relates that "The Yellow Wallpaper" ,which follows Gilman's early married life, begins with the narrator and her husband John traveling to a secluded country estate for their summer vacation. Similar to Gilman, the narrator suffers from depression and it is hoped that this break will provide a cure. The paper states that Gilman as an author of 28 books, literary critic and speaker, signals a crucial transition from the nineteenth-century model of the domestic ideal to the twentieth-century paradigm of the new family.
From the Paper
"In 1884, Gilman married a fellow artist, Charles Stetson, disregarding her own reservations about combining marriage and career as well as her husband's personal problems. When she delivered her daughter, Katherine, in 1885, she had a severe psychological breakdown. Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, known as one of the greatest nerve specialists of the time, recommended the "rest cure" he had invented for Civil War shell-shock victims and then used for the "nervous prostration" of the "businessman exhausted from too much work and the society woman exhausted from too much play." Gilman underwent a month-long cure in 1887."

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper", 2007.
This paper discusses Charlotte Perkins Gilman's novella "The Yellow Wallpaper", a canonical book of feminist literature.
3,205 words (approx. 12.8 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 92.95

Abstract
This paper explains that Charlotte Perkins Gilman's masterpiece "The Yellow Wallpaper", which is a semi-autobiographical work based on her own experiences with postpartum depression, was radical and advanced for its time; hence, the significance of this novella was not fully recognized when it was published in 1892. The author points out that the central theme is the development of a state of psychos and apparent insanity in the central character; however, the full meaning of the novella lies in the reasons and the causes for this apparent deterioration. The paper relates that the pattern in literature of male dominance and female subjugation, as presented by Gilman, has been noted by modern feminist literary critics and is a prime example of the use of art in the fight against sexual and societal oppression.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Summary and overview
Discussion
The Wallpaper
Theoretical Perspectives
From the Paper
"From a social and gender perspective, there is little doubt that many commentators view "The Yellow Wallpaper" as an expression of gender oppression and the need for personal equality in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Mental illness is interpreted in this story as the result of oppression and the denial of individual expression. The illness and the slide into apparent madness that the central character undergoes in this story is seen from one theoretical perspective as a form of resistance to conventional gender roles and male oppression in a patriarchal environment."

"Wieland" and "Charlotte Temple", 2006.
An analysis of the theme of the loss of female virtue in "Wieland" by Charles Brockden Brown and "Charlotte Temple" by Susanna Rowson.
2,417 words (approx. 9.7 pages), 0 sources, MLA, $ 73.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how both the novels "Charlotte Temple" and "Wieland" each present their audience with moral, virtuous examples of women who by the scorn and judgment of the societies in which they live, are placed in positions of disgrace by those who their societies dictated should have protected them. The paper relates that both Charlotte and Clara are betrayed by what their societies viewed as the "other", outsiders who ingratiate their way into the trust of these innocent women in attempts to ruin them or tarnish their reputations. The paper also discusses how, in both the novels it is not the actual immorality of the female characters that leads to their discrimination and ultimate downfall, but the damaging and excluding way in which society responds to their supposed fall from virtue that results in the tragic conclusion of these stories.
From the Paper
"In Charlotte Temple and Wieland, we are presented with two female characters that seem to embody the ideal of appropriate feminine behavior that dominated society throughout the eighteenth century. While Charlotte is docile, sweet-tempered, and consciously respectful and obedient of her parents, Clara represents a more modern, Enlightened female of the time, brimming with intelligence, quick wit, rationality, and the propensity for intellectual debate and discourse, while still maintaining her femininity and virtue. Similarly, both young women were subject to an idyllic, almost utopian upbringing. Charlotte, raised in the country under the wing of her unfailingly kind and generous parents, had experienced no deceit, dishonesty, or depravity of human nature. "

Abstract
In "Jane Eyre", Charlotte Bronte uses the character of Jane Eyre to critique the treatment of poor girls and orphans. Indeed, Jane refuses to be placed in the traditional female position of subservience. She stands up to superiors, as well as for her rights and defends the plight of all poor girls for doing so. In this way, her representation is a strong social statement against rich peoples' abuse of young poor girls.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper", 2005.
This paper explores Charlotte Perkins Gilman's use of sunlight and moonlight in her short story "The Yellow Wallpaper".
1,215 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that the symbols or motifs of sunlight and moonlight are used, in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper", to bespeak the narrator's true feelings about gender roles and repression not only within her marriage and her society but also within herself. The author points out that, in the beginning of this story, shortly after describing the house, the narrator makes her first references to sunlight and moonlight and reveals how they have an effect on her behavior. The paper relates that the moonlight and daylight do not merely influence the narrator's behavior but also how she perceives her surroundings, such as the wallpaper. The paper stresses that Gilman does not use sunlight and moonlight to represent the masculine repressing the feminine, but rather, she uses sunlight to reflect the oppressive force that can be found in a woman who feels suffocated and burdened by the traditional roles of her gender.
From the Paper
"The evening and the day, as she complains, have an effect on more than just her conduct, but also on her appetite; she has good appetite in the evening, and suffers from poor appetite in the morning. In this manner, it is established in the beginning that by moonlight, or in the evening, she is not only inclined to subtly rebel against her role as a submissive wife, but furthermore, it is in the night that she is inclined to satisfy her appetite for basic human needs-- of which food may only be one. And yet, the narrator's husband is not the only one who wishes that she subdues herself, as she does by daylight."
