Abstract
The City of London is only a very small part of Greater London, taking up little more than a square mile in area. The paper shows that the City of London is usually referred to as just The City, and today it is devoted primarily to business and finance. The paper explores several historical sites which make up the City of London, including the Bank of England and Lloyds of London.
From the Paper
"A central anchor to the City is the Bank of England. It was established by Act of Parliament and operates under a Royal Charter. It was founded on July 27, 1694 with a staff of nineteen in rented premises, and its capital, Bank of England Stock, represented the start of the Funded National Debt. In 1734, the Bank moved to a building specially designed for it in Threadneedle Street in the City of London. From the beginning, the institution concentrated on issuing notes for deposits made with it, and these would be the forerunners of today's bank notes.
The Bank of England also acted as banker to the government and to most departments of state as well as managing and acting as the registrar of government securities. With the expansion of the Bank's business in the early 18th century, it was necessary to extend the 1734 building, and by 1828 it covered the whole of its present three acre site.

""London" by William Blake is an exploration in the streets of the different people living in London in 1794. In the poem, we are introduced to four people; the infant, the chimney-sweeper, the soldier, and the Harlot. Each of these characters is a representation of the city of London, and each is capitalized in the poem. These are the people who William Blake saw as his people of London; however, he did not include himself in any of the categories."

From the Paper
"Jews from other areas also began immigrating in large numbers between 1870 and 1914. It is estimated 120,000 Jews migrated to Great Britain during this time, and most of them settled in London. Most of them came from Austro-Hungary and Russia, and most of them left their countries because "economic modernization or government policies had deprived them of their customary ways of making a living. The 'pull' factor also was the same: the largest cities in the two English speaking nations offered opportunity and safety" (Berrol, 1994, p. xi). Those with the least amount of funds headed for London, while those with more resources usually traveled to the United States."

Jack London, 2004.
An analysis of the influence of personal experience on the writing of American author, Jack London.

Abstract
This paper examines how personal tragedy can often be an inspiration, how writing can serve as a reflection of events as well as therapy in many circumstances, and how one writer who displays such an example in his writing is Jack London. It attempts to show that, while London?s writing is often overlooked, it should rather be considered a staple in the canon of American literature for its clarity and significant messages regarding man and his place in the world. It explores how London?s personal experiences influenced his writing and, therefore, explains why his stories are important in modern literature.
From the Paper
"London?s youth may have impacted him in a negative way that he was never completely able to overcome, but he did not allow this to stop him from writing. Rothberg describes London as an alcoholic who ?destroyed his own talent? (Rothberg 1). He wanted desperately to be a success in business and failed much like Mark Twain. He makes a ?brilliant beginning and then cannot develop from there? (1). London witnessed a pattern of failure experienced by his parents, who were always trying get-rich-quick schemes that forced them to move all over the San Francisco Bay area. Rothberg asserts that this pattern of ?failure and flight? (2) scarred London permanently. In addition, London was illegitimate and this knowledge ?weighed heavily? on him and, according to Rothberg, ?was one of the most important factors in shaping his personality? (3). London died of a self-administered overdose of morphine, which was used to treat the pain of nephritis, caused by alcoholism."

Abstract
This paper explains that a new scheme has been introduced in London to manage the traffic congestion under which motorists are obliged to pay ?5 everyday to enter central London. The author points out that the strength of this system lies in the fact that it helps reduce traffic, allowing journeys and delivery times to be more reliable, and simultaneously raises money in fees that can be reinvested in London?s transport system. The paper concludes that, today, 100,000 people pay every day; the enforcement is working, and dissatisfaction with public transit is decreasing with more people riding the buses than just those displaced by pricing scheme.

"The scheme was introduced during the weeklong mid-term school holidays, during which the traffic was reduced by about 20 percent. The scheme started at 7am as a move to control the heavy traffic in London. However, the London Mayor Ken Livingstone, felt that the scheme is more of an political gamble then a program with a goal to reduce congestion in the British capital, where the average speed of the is sometimes less than 10 mph during the peak hours of the day."

'Martin Eden' by Jack London, 2006.
A review of the book 'Martin Eden' by Jack London.
1,352 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 45.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at the life of Jack London, an extremely successful author who has been described as one of the best selling America writers in the world during the early 20th century. The paper discusses how London possessed an uncanny understanding of nature and the confrontation between nature and man. The paper then reviews London's book, 'Martin Eden'.
From the Paper
"There are two aspects that fascinate about this novel. The first is that through the main character we encounter London's own internal struggle as an artist and writer living in the bourgeoisie society of the time. There is throughout the novel a thread of tension between the need for acceptance and the desire to be recognized as an individual without the restraints of convention and norms. This psychological dilemma is also a reflection of sociological aspects in the view that it provides of the class division and struggle in the early twentieth century. Some of the most important and poignant parts of the book is where Martin Eden sees through the hypocrisy of the norms and conventions of the world when he is lauded for the very works that were initially rejected by the publishers. He becomes aware of the falsity and emptiness of social acclaim and success."

Jack London, 2004.
This paper explores author Jack London?s literary style, using the short story, ?To Build a Fire?, as one of the best examples of his work.
1,440 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 14 sources, MLA, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Jack London?s works have received praise for their vivid descriptions of nature, and of the Klondike Territory in particular, and his works generally deal with the theme of the individual in opposition to an amoral, natural world. The author points out that an interesting perception of the inner logic that functions within London?s work is the analogy to modern sports; the elements within the ethos of modern sports form a foundational perspective for understanding the works. The paper reveals that one of the most important aspects of London?s work is the ?discontinuity? that is revealed between man and nature and between civilization and instinct, which is particularly true with regard to the work, ?To Build a Fire?, where civilization and society are brought into extreme contrast with nature.
From the Paper
"Howard makes an important point to aid our understanding of naturalism in that naturalism contains within it some essential assumptions; one of the most important being that of ?reality? as an external referential environment that is unquestioned. This runs counter to post-modern theoretical stance, which sees reality as relative and determined by the individual?s perception. The critical literature also emphasizes an exploration of London?s work from a socio-cultural and more time bound point of view."

Many of these people cannot secure alternative housing on their own or even with the help of family or friends."

Abstract
This paper explains that American author Jack London, who wrote novels and short stories at around the turn of the twentieth century, influenced many of the great authors throughout the twentieth
century. The author points out that Jack London, who was self-educated even learning to read and write on his own, had many life experiences such as being a sailor, working under the hard conditions of mills and factories, spending time as a hobo and joining the Klondike gold rush, which influenced his story writing. The paper reports on the theme of the cruelty of nature in two of London's works "To Build a Fire" and "White Fang" in which man struggles against nature and learns that there are no polite social rules about it but rather it is a cruel world of dog eat dog.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"London's time in the Klondike, however, was quite detrimental to his health. He went back to sailing after this but these experiences in the Klondike formed many of the impressions that were to be later found
in his stories. In his politics, London tended towards socialism. He made a lot of money from his stories and was well known during his lifetime, unlike many authors who have to die to become famous. London died in 1916 and left behind many famous short stories and novels, including famous short stories like "To Build a Fire" which he considered his best work, and novels like "White Fang" and "Call of the Wild" that are still being studied in schools to this day."

Abstract
This paper gives a brief description London during the Elizabethan age. It discusses the life of the residents having to deal with hardships such as cholera and hunger. It explains that the world was on the brink of modernization and how this effected life in the capital. It also looks at the changes that Elizabeth tried to introduce judicially and politically.
From the paper:
"We can gain an idea of the tenor of the Elizabethan Age by looking at the changes that occurred in her own capital city, in its growth and in its problems. By the time the Tudors became the reigning family of Great Britain, London was already an ancient city. It had grown up by this point from three separate centers: the walled settlement founded by the Romans on the banks of the Thames in the 1st century AD (which is the area of the city known today as ?the Square Mile? or more often simply as ?the City?; the suburb of Southwark, which faces the City across the bridge on the lower gravels of the south bank of the Thames; and the City of Westminster "

Sherlock Holmes: Detective of London, 2008.

Abstract
The paper discusses how Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Sign of Four" uses the landscape and atmosphere specific only to London in order to create a setting with the tension and mystery necessary for his detective novel. The paper describes how Doyle parallels the reflective atmosphere of London weather and the busy yet romantic nature of the city with the nature of Holmes' and Watson's unraveling mystery.
From the Paper
"Doyle parallels the reflective atmosphere of London weather with the nature of Holmes' and Watson's unraveling mystery; his use of pathetic fallacy is made possible only by London's temperamental weather, by its unpredictable gloom and sporadic spurts of sun. In the opening of the story, Holmes is without a case, and the weather is an instant reflection of Holmes' disposition. He is quick to moan about the bleak climate of London, saying "Stand at the window. Was ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material?" (20 Doyle). Unoccupied by an unsolved puzzle, the Doyle uses London's weather to mirror Holmes' disheartening view of the world."

"The Lonely Londoners", 2008.
An analysis of the novel "The Lonely Londoners" by Samuel Selvon.
3,852 words (approx. 15.4 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 105.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how "The Lonely Londoners" is the story of the West Indian immigrants who struggle to survive on "the diamond pavements of Caribbean London." It looks at how the constant skimping and scraping for a living which Selvon depicts throughout the book seems to suggest that he does not approve of large numbers of West Indians trying to settle in England and how they would have more fun and be happier if they lived in their country.
From the Paper
"The novel starts with the arrival of Henry Oliver, Galahad, from Trinidad. Moses, the main character, goes to Waterloo Station to meet him. It is a very important place, because it is the point through which all the West Indies enter England. " With the opening scene, Selvon introduces readers to a nondescript public space that was fast becoming a Caribbean gathering site and that was serving in the 1950s as the smaller-scale, British equivalent of New York's Ellis Island." Thus, it has become the symbol for West Indian immigrants, and it is a place of not only arrivals, but also departures. Some people go there just to see familiar faces. "They like to see the familiar faces, they like to watch their countrymen coming off the train, and sometimes they might spot somebody they know." Moses feels homesick when he arrives at the station. "
