Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Sarah Churchwell's work on Monroe could very well have redefined our understanding of this enigmatic figure. The writer maintains that Sarah Churchwell's book "The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe" is the most comprehensive look at the life of the iconic movie star ever produced. The writer relates that Churchwell's premise within the book is that the real Marilyn Monroe is an individual who had immense psychological and personal problems, which she dealt with through the glitz and glamor of her celebrity profile. The writer concludes that Churchwell paints a story that does not rely on fiction and mystique. Rather, in the final analysis, one encounters the story of the real Monroe and finds that the truth is in fact even more impressive than fiction.
From the Paper
"She explores the central premise behind Monroe by examining her deeper motives. Monroe is exposed as an individual who is very uncertain of her identity. Perhaps because of her beauty, she is revealed to be an individual who has had little to no deep personal connections with others. It is only through the power of her body that Monroe possesses the fame that she won in her audiences. The strength of this power is also what alienated her from the rest of the world, as people treated her as a glamour figure and sexual icon rather than an individual with her own personality and thoughts. Churchwell dwells especially on Monroe's strong desire for motherhood. She interprets this action as a yearning for closeness with someone. Monroe saw motherhood as a mechanism to find the missing pieces within her life and to bind a truly cerebral relationship with someone. With the failure to become pregnant was when she seriously became depressed and eventually prepared for her death."

Abstract
This paper examines the wide range of literature and research available concerning Marilyn Monroe's death. The paper states that, although Monroe's death certificate claims suicide as the cause of death, most theories dismiss this as incorrect. The paper presents evidence that suggests the involvement of Robert Kennedy in Monroe's demise. Police reports are discussed and witness accounts are reviewed.
From the Paper
"Marilyn Monroe died under mysterious circumstances on August 4th 1962, from an overdose of barbiturates- a drug her psychiatrist had allegedly prescribed. The certificate of her death says it was "probable suicide" even though most evidence suggested it was more than that. Vast body of research reveals that there were some witnesses to the alleged murder-most indicating a possible link with Kennedy family. Since Marilyn Monroe had affairs with John F Kennedy and later his brother, Robert Kennedy, it is believed that they were involved in his murder. "Strange sounds were carried on the wind during the night-shouting and the crash of broken glass. Neighbors reported that a hysterical woman had yelled, 'Murderers! You murderers! Are you satisfied now that she's dead?'" That woman was later identified as Pat Newcomb- a friend of Monroe's."

Marilyn Monroe, 2002.
A look at what made actress Marilyn Monroe's fans consider her almost godlike.

Abstract
A quick look through any magazine article or book about Marilyn Monroe is almost certain to turn up the word ?goddess?. This paper examines why that should be the case, for surely none of her fans believed that she was in fact a divine being equivalent to Athena or Diana? The author feels that it is imperative not to dismiss her elevation to the pantheon as mere hyperbole. While she was certainly beautiful and famous, many other movie stars are also beautiful and famous and yet have not earned her sobriquet of goddess. This paper examines what qualities Marilyn possessed to make her in the eyes of her fans something nearer to divinity than simple mortality. It also contains a brief biography of the star.
From the Paper
"But how did this tragic story become the biography of a goddess? Its tragedy was perhaps actually an essential element of it, for no doubt what has attracted many people to become fans of Marilyn since her death is the element of tragedy that clings to her. She seems to us to be very much a figure struck down by the fates, a character from the classical world in which people?s own actions matter less than the plans that the gods have for them."

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."

Abstract
In this paper, a history of the reasons and need for the Monroe Doctrine are thoroughly examined. The Doctrine was a powerful statement but the U.S. had very little power of enforcement. Reasons behind this are discussed. This paper also shows how the Monroe Doctrine appeared on the surface to be an American declaration of independence from a colony-hungry Europe but in fact the document had many weaknesses.
From the Paper
"By the early 1800s, America was becoming its own country and trying to separate itself from Europe. The United States wanted to prevent future colonization of the Americas by European countries and attempted to accomplish this by issuing the Monroe Doctrine. The Monroe Doctrine of 1823, designed to discourage European nations from colonization that would threaten America, was merely a declaration of America?s independence, not a demonstration of it."
