From the Paper
"One of the most potent film genres in terms of subsequent influence was the so-called film noir, so-called because no one making a film noir at the time of its creation and ascendance ever used the term or even assumed that they were working in a genre or style that might deserve a name of its own. the term was applied long after by French critics who noticed a stylistic shift in American films in the 1940s, and as Thomas Schatz notes, this style dominated films in the late 1940s and early 1950s to such a degree that it came to identify both the narrative-cinematic style of those films and also the historical period during which they were produced (Schatz 112).
The style would have an influence long after that historical period ended. Indeed, it continues to have an influence today..."

Abstract
This paper states that Lonely Planet Publications is a highly successful organization that has successfully grown and developed in a niche market providing high quality and highly factual travel information on a global basis. The author believes that the company has a very solid reputation and wishes to continue its growth without sacrificing the internal culture that has been a cornerstone of its success. The author underscores that both the Five Forces and Strategic Group Models de-emphasize the role of innovation and the significance of individual company differences while overemphasizing the importance of industry and strategic group structure as determinants of company profit rates; therefore, in analyzing Lonely Planet specifically, this can lead to dangerously erroneous conclusions.

From the Paper
"Lonely Planet, for the most part, was protected against these industry trends and really leveraged the travel market niche by providing readers with highly factual (and highly accurate) information. They did not try to compete on an entertainment level, nor did they go out of their way to endorse outside products, go overboard on advertising, or any other approach that would de-focus the message they were trying to convey?Lonely Planet is about providing factual and highly accurate information to the traveler. Many readers were know to tear out pages perceived to be of little value, to ?skin down? the book and make it lighter, smaller, more easily packable. By catering to this market niche, they were able also to make themselves more resilient to the effects of recession."

From the Paper
"A number of issues have been identified which need to be addressed in order to sustain the long-term viability of Lonely Planet as a company. The company has recently been approached by a well known large software company looking to expand its dominance in the media space. While the prospects of acquisition can sometimes be very promising, the ownership of Lonely Planet appears to prefer its independence and creative freedom and as such has, so far, been able to hold of acquisition by larger entities."

Abstract
This paper discusses William Wordsworth's poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." The paper discusses how the poem's speaker expresses the main idea of the poem that nature can have a profound effect upon man. It looks at the poet's use of specific poetic techniques including rhyme scheme, meter, imagery, simile, metaphor and personification.
From the Paper
"Several important poetic techniques are utilized by the poet in conveying the poem's basic meaning. The poem contains four six-line stanzas and one technique that can be identified is the poem's rhyme scheme, which is a quatrain-couplet scheme: ABABCC. Each of this poem's line is metered in iambic tetrameter. The poem utilizes vast amounts of visual imagery to convey the poet's experience with encountering the daffodils and their surroundings. It begins with an imagery of the clouds that float high over hills and valleys; it goes on to describe a host of daffodils, golden in color, residing by a lake and beneath the trees. The daffodils are furthermore described as dancing as a breeze passes by them. The poem continues to compare the visual imagery of the stars as they shine on the Milky Way galaxy to the thousands of daffodils as they stretch and dance along with the water's waves in the lake. The final imagery left for readers to experience is the poet lying on his couch and fondly recalling the memory of the daffodils and their delightful dance."

Abstract
This paper explores the purpose and usage of flowers in poetry using William Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" as an example. It focuses on Wordsworth's choice of words and also on the greater profound concept that he is trying to depict. The first part of the paper focuses on interpreting the poem. It shows how Wordsworth eloquently uses figurative language, imagery, and personification to describe a scenic display of daffodils. The second part of the paper offers an analysis of the poem. In particular, it examines the concept of the futility of the individual when compared to the collective good of society, as shown in the context of man versus nature.
From the Paper
"Wordsworth overwhelms us with collective images in stanza 2, relating the daffodils to stars, describing them as stretching ?in never-ending line? (9) and also expressing that he sees ?ten thousand ... at a glance? (11). In the last line of stanza 1 he personifies the daffodils to be ?fluttering and dancing in the breeze? (6). We can elaborate on Wordsworth?s many collective images through this line. Frequently, communities or groups of people have trouble working together, but through Wordsworth?s personification of the daffodils, also seen in line 12 where the daffodils are ?tossing their heads in sprightly dance,? (12) we recognize that the daffodils are working together in unison with no trouble at all. Their ?dance? is in complete coordination."

"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.

Nicholas II: Russia's Doomed Emperor, 2004.
Book report on Nicholas Riasanovsky work, "A History of Russia".

Abstract
This paper reviews Riasanovsky's work about the reign of Nicholas II and how it ultimately led to sweeping liberal reforms and the Revolution of 1905.
From the Paper
"Many historians have dwelt on exactly why and how the reign of Nicholas II came to its end, and it seems that the answer lies largely in what such a deposed autocrat might have done while in power, why he did it and under what circumstances he lost control of the Russian monarchy. As emperor, Nicholas II was never in doubt about the dangers that surrounded him and his family, and his main anxieties were about his own ability to cope with them. But one thing was crystal clear to him?Russia must avoid war at almost all costs until she was prepared for war, and even then she would have to weigh in the balance what this would do to her prosperity and stability."

Abstract
This paper explains that the plot of Nicholas Sparks' "Message in a Bottle" follows the true life story of Sparks' father. The author points out that this novel makes use of the leitmotif of a message in a bottle, which was thrown in the sea and left to the mercy of the waves and of chance. The paper relates that these love messages, written by Garret Blake to his deceased wife Catherine and put afloat in bottles contain the most important statements the author makes about love and trigger the further developments of the plot.
Outline:
Love in the Context of Life and Death in the Novel
The Leitmotif of the Message in a Bottle Thrown at Sea
Makes the Transition from the Old Love Story to the New Love Story
Forms the Lyrical Core of the Novel and Serves as a Confession of Love
Serves to Prove the Role that Chance Plays in Finding True Love
The Place of Love in Life
Lovers Often Use the Word "Forever" to Describe Their Love, Suggesting that Death is an Obstacle in the Course of Love
True Love Can Happen More Times during a Life- Span Due to Man's Inner Capacity to Love
Negative Criticism of the Novel
Loose, Unrealistic Plot
Tearjerker
Symbolic Meaning of the Novel
Love can be Destructive
Death and the Chances of Life Interfere with the Course of Love
True Love Seems to be Ill-Fated
Loss Happens Two Times in the Novel- Garret loses Catherine, then Theresa loses Garret.
Love has a Regenerating Power
Love can Happen after Loss
Novel's Circular Structure
Proof of the Regenerating Power of Love
From the Paper
"The human capacity for loving is proven as unquenchable: love can follow again even after the deepest relationship, although this feeling may be frustrating, as we see in Garret's case who finds it very hard to accept the death of his wife and to love again. Thus, love, life and death appear are very much connected in the novel, revealing an essential fact about the human condition: life and love seem to be somewhat in conflict all through the human existence. Man is first of all given life to, and his life span is delimited by destiny."

"The Heart is a Lonely Hunter", 2004.

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers, a tale involving five main characters that struggle against the isolation and despair brought on by circumstances in their lives. The paper contends that McCullers wrote this story in order to analyze the lives of social outcasts and to learn how they try to break out of their unfavorable positions in life. The paper claims that she wished to show that despite being misfits in society, either due to their unpopular opinions on important issues or unusual circumstances in life, they were still complex individuals who also wished to love and be loved by others.
From the Paper
"The novel The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers is a tale involving five main characters that struggle against the isolation and despair brought on by circumstances in their lives. The story takes place during the late 1930's in an unnamed deep Southern town. McCullers begins the story by introducing the deaf-mute John Singer; he used to live with his friend Spiros Antonapoulos who was also a deaf-mute. Singer doted on his friend a great deal even though it was apparent that Antonapoulos never showed any appreciation towards it. Later Antonapoulos became mentally ill and was taken away to an insane asylum despite Singer's protestations. Due to this, Singer had to move out of the home he once shared with his friend and become a boarder at the house of the Kelly's."

Abstract
This paper looks at the famous mission in which Trist was sent to Mexico. His goal was to end the Mexican-American war and settle boundary disputes that would result in land acquisitions for the United States at a fair price. It discusses how, due to unexpected circumstances, however, Mr. Trist unfortunately became the victim of unlucky circumstances, and though he ultimately was successful in his treaty endeavors, he lost the respect and admiration of his political peers.
From the Paper
"Nicholas Philip Trist was born in 1800 in Charlottesville, VA (Columbia, 2002). Mr. Trist graduated from the College of New Orleans in 1817, and moved to Monticello at the invitation of Thomas Jefferson (UNC). As a young man he attended the prestigious West Point University and studies law under former president Thomas Jefferson (Columbia, 2002). He married the granddaughter of Mr. Jefferson, Virginia Jefferson Randolph, and later became the private secretary to Andrew Jackson (Columbia, 2002). The man certainly was not stranger to affluent government officials. Between the years of 1833-1841, Mr. Trist served as a U.S. consul in Havana, Cuba (Columbia, 2002). Trist is most often remembered for the time he served as chief clerk of the Department of State, when in 1847 he was sent to Mexico to represent the U.S. as a special agent during the Mexican War (Columbia, 2002). His purpose in traveling to Mexico was to conduct negotiations that would eventually help in ending the war."

Flowers in Poetry: "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud", 2003.

Abstract
This paper elucidates on Wordsworth?s choice of words and also on the greater profound concept that he is trying to depict to his readers. The first part of the paper explains the poem showing how Wordsworth eloquently uses figurative language, imagery, and personification to describe a scenic display of daffodils. The second part of the paper offers an in-depth analysis of the poem, examining the concept of the futility of the individual when compared to the collective good of society, as shown in the context of man versus nature.
From the Paper
"In stanza 3, Wordsworth compares the daffodils to another natural image, waves. ?The waves beside them danced; but they / Outdid the sparkling waves in glee? (13-14). He personifies both the daffodils and the waves to ?dance,? again suggesting the ability of both to work as one, but here we also see that Wordsworth decides that the daffodils make much more of an impression on him than the waves. Both objects work in unison, but the difference between the two is that when Wordsworth looks at the waves he only sees one object. When he looks at the daffodils he sees ?ten thousand? objects! The waves lack strength in numbers, which is the one aspect of the daffodils which impresses Wordsworth the most; the fact that these ?ten thousand? separate things can unite and ?dance? so beautifully together."

Narrative Development of Russian Monarchs - Nicholas I and the Grand Duke Michael, 2002.
An examination of the growth of the monarchy in Russia with a focus on the spy vs. spy birthing in the Russian empire.

Abstract
This paper studies the nature and nurture of the Russian Monarchy under the upbringing of Catherine the Great and her Stoic / Enlightenment based moral values. Focusing on the developmental complexities of the social and family unit which brought around the four most well known of the Russian Royals, Alexander I, Constantine, Nicholas I and Michael, this paper follows up the effects of a family unit oriented upbringing with strong liberal and republican beliefs that gripped the Russian Royal family in it?s later years through Catherine as a matriarchal influence to these four, and Paul as a patriarchal leader. The psychological scarring left upon Nicholas on seeing his fathers demise at the hands of his own courtiers demonstrated a manipulative effect on his reign. Also demonstrated in this paper is the fact that regardless of liberal beliefs, the people?s agenda quite often defies what intellectually could be classified as the best system of government for them as demonstrated through the coup de etat against Paul and the Decembrist rebellion.
From the Paper
"Nicholas and Michael never knew their illustrious grandmother as they were too young to have true or strong memories of her as she died when they were still youths, and they also lost their father at the early age of five and three respectively. That is not to say that her rearing did not still influence them, indirectly, throughout their adolescence. Nicholas had reported to have vague memories of Paul and considered his sudden death at the hands of his own courtiers to be the most traumatic moment or envisagement in his life until his own accession and the Decembrist revolt. Thus, for both Nicholas and Michael, their mother was the primary force behind their upbringing with strong matriarchal influence from their grandmother Catherine the Great and her philosophies."

The Lonely Martyr in Poetry, 2005.
Examines the theme of society's disregard for human suffering and death, poems by W.H. Auden and Robert Frost.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores two particular poems that effectively address society's universal attitude of disregard when faced with tragedy and the lonely, silent horror of death. The paper examines "Musee des Beaux Arts", by W.H. Auden, which sheds some insight into the history of emotional disengagement as it has occurred through the ages. Conversely, it explores Robert Frost's poem, "Out, Out", which describes a powerful, isolated example of the single-minded ambivalence of human nature.
From the Paper
"This statement lends credence to society's somewhat Darwinian state of mind. The loss was not their own, but perhaps a gritty reminder of how close death can come to one's doorstep. By turning away and seemingly picking up where they left off, they were disconnecting from the eventual certainty of their own demise in an attempt to restore the predictable, comforting rhythm of life."
