Abstract
This paper compares the main theme in Walker's and Mukherjee's works. It explains that these two works are an expression of America's diverse culture and identity and of old versus modern. The paper offers quotes to qualify points made.
From the Paper
"The culmination of the work, through its characterization and rural poor setting is that the two sides never meet in the middle, both rejecting the other and all the while it is unclear what the lover thinks. Asalamalakim's point of view is mostly absent from the work, as an expression of the mother's inability to understand him in the midst of this family conflict he is lost. Asalamalakim is a dark ignorable shadow in the background that could be seen as a symbol of the dichotomy between where Dee came from and where she is now."

Abstract
The paper considers the novel "Utopia" by Thomas More that describes conquests in a utopian society and Bartolome de Las Casas's "Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies." The paper examines the justification for conquest, treatment of the conquered, and rights of the conquered. The paper explains how these two works show different scenarios. In the Utopian society, there is reasonable justification for the conquest, the conquered people are treated well and the conquered people are given full rights. In the case of the Spaniards and the Indians, there is no valid justification for the conquest, the Indians are treated harshly, and the Indians are stripped of their rights. Despite these apparent differences, the paper shows that both works offer the same message.
Contents:
Conquering "Primitives" and the Justification for Conquest
The Treatment of the Conquered
The Rights of the Defeated
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In Utopia there is a lot of detail given justifying the conquest of primitives. This starts with a statement that the Utopians detest war and do not enter into battle easily. The strongest statement made about the Utopian position on war is that "they count nothing so much against glory, as glory gotten in war" (More, The Second Book of Warfare). Considering that society typically considers war as being associated with glory, this statement shows that the society rejects war as much as they possibly can. The book then goes on to describe the justifications for war. These justifications include defending their own country, driving out enemies from the lands of their friends, and freeing oppressed people from tyranny and bondage. It is this third justification that is their reason for conquering the original inhabitants of Utopia. Essentially, they consider that the original inhabitants are being ruled wrongly and that their conquering of the people will free them and allow them to be ruled in the correct way. The book even states that they conquer lands where people are oppressed out of "mere pity and compassion" (More, The Second Book of Warfare)."

Abstract
This paper traces the conquest on Mexico and the Aztec civilization by Hernando Cortez and his men in 1519 against the backdrop of the forces which influenced the Europeans to seek such a mission. The paper shows that the Europeans struggled with their ambivalence towards the two Americas and towards the native people whom they viewed as heathens and whose complexed cultures they were unable to understand. The paper explains that Cortez knew he was on a mission, not just for wealth, but to preserve the hegemony, both psychological and literal, of Europe. The paper examines the Aztec civilization and follows the course of the conquest until the Aztec surrended to Cortez's troops in 1521.
From the Paper
"The Aztec culture was well developed; they had developed an agricultural system that fed a large population; had developed math that helped provide them with an accurate calendar; had built a system of water canals for crop irrigation; mined for gold, silver, tin and copper; and had created weapons such as clubs lined with volcanic glass called obsidian. These clubs could decapitate an animal with a single blow. They had developed cooking and eating utensils, and a system of trade and barter. They also had schools; they held slaves, and they practiced human sacrifice in religious ceremonies."

We Came, We Conquered, and We Saw the Light, 2002.
This paper discusses the conversion of Native Americans in early America.
2,080 words (approx. 8.3 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 65.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the conversion of Native Americans during the colonial period, primarily in the 16th and 17th centuries. The author delineates the conversion methods of the Spanish, the French, and the English, as well as the resistance movements on the part of the Native Americans. The essence of the paper lies in analyzing the effects of conversion, and how the groups interacted with each other.
From the Paper
"It is not often that one thinks of any European nation as uncultured or backward, but it takes only a single look towards the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the conquest of North America to see that perhaps the conquered were more forward moving, at least spiritually, than their conquerors. Though thought to be savage and primitive, the natives of North America had long since developed coherent religious systems, as intricate as those of the Europeans - even bearing similarities to them. Christianity and its various forms, however, proved to be a much less understanding opponent to the Native Americans, who hardly expected to be opposed in the first place. Along with the "discovery" of the New World came an onslaught of attempts towards conversion."

Abstract
This is an argumentative paper about the division along socio-economic lines. The author argues that today's technological advancements continue to drive us apart and further aggravate the problem of social inequality.
From the Paper
In the race to converge all forms of media, modern-day technological trailblazers are leaving millions behind. American society is still hurting from unethical institutions that have deprived certain groups from social equality and is encountering the digital age, which seems to promise a freer, faster and more connected society. Instead it may have created another gap between the ?haves? and ?have- nots?. With these new-age industrial advancements a term commonly known as the ?digital divide? has been coined to describe the uneven access particular groups have to technological tools.

Abstract
"Mars and Venus" by Sandro Botticelli is a typical example of the art of the Early Italian Renaissance. The writer explains how the painting depicts the relaxed goddess of love, Venus, looking over the sleeping form of Mars, the god of war, showing the power of love to conquer violence and war. It points out that "Mars and Venus" falls neatly within the themes of the Italian Renaissance, which focused on the classical works of both Greek and Roman material. The painting also illustrates Botticelli?s ability to capture muted skin tones and create a fantastic and dreamlike atmosphere.
From the Paper
"Born Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi in 1445 in Florence, Italy, Sandro Botticelli became one of the most noted artists of the Early Italian Renaissance. Botticelli was known for his commissions for major churches in Florence, as well as his famed wall frescos on the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican in Rome. He painted a number of famed religious paintings, including "The Adoration of the Magi", "Madonna of the Pomegranate", "The Cestello Annunciation", as well as a number of paintings that depicted Roman and Greek legends, including "Primavera", "The Birth of Venus", "Mars and Venus" (WebMuseum)."

?The Steadfast Tin Soldier?, 2003.
Analysis of the theme in Hans Christian Andersen's "The Steadfast Tin Soldier".

Abstract
This paper discusses the theme in "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" through a character analysis of the tin soldier. The paper points out that, while the theme of the story seems to be about true love conquering all, the underlying theme is about manliness and the suggestion that love seems to feminize men while they are in pursuit of their beloved, transforming them into an acceptable love object. The paper also examines an additional theme that suggests that those who are too sensitive cannot live through the harshness of the world.
From the Paper
"At the beginning of the story, the tin Soldier is ?different from all the others because he was missing one leg. He has been the last one to be cast and there had not been enough tin? (112). In this way, the Tin Soldier can either be viewed as disabled, having only one leg, or as symbolically emasculated. Soldiers, weapons and perpetrators of destruction, are often viewed as one of the highest forms of masculinity. Violent by nature and protective of their countries, the tin soldier symbolizes the opposite of love and romance, even if they are all ?handsome [in] red and blue uniforms? and stand ?with rifles sticking up over their shoulders? (112). Soldiers are deadly in their masculine beauty. However, the Tin Soldier in Andersen?s tale is far from perfect and is less than a warrior. Andersen reveals the tin soldier?s love constant love for the ballerina throughout the story. However, the tin soldier is unable to demonstrate through his bravery that he is worthy of this love. Moreover, the lacking leg may be equated with missing biological parts of masculinity. This Steadfast Soldier cannot procreate and therefore, must be less than a man. The reader might ask why Andersen would want to portray his protagonist as less than a hero. The response is that soldiers, in their courage and readiness to fight, are not true candidates for romantic love. The Tin Soldier, lacking a leg cannot approach his beloved ballerina to declare his love for her. He is afraid that the ballerina will not accept him because of his disability. Symbolically, he is distanced from the ballerina by their placement in the boy?s room. Additionally, the troll who possibly ?caused the window to open suddenly and the soldier to fall out of it? may represent nature?s cruelty to those who are different."

The Incas, 2004.
Presents an argument that the Incas were conquered by the Spanish.
1,022 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 36.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The question is sometimes asked whether or not the Incas were conquered and colonized, or whether they voluntarily became part of the Spanish society. This paper argues that, once one studies the history of the Incas and their desire for power, one will be convinced that the Incas were conquered, as they would never have given up voluntarily to the Spanish.
From the Paper
"The fact that the Incas were a power hungry people and a powerful regime before the invasion of the Spaniards is proof of the fact that they were conquered and later colonized. The fact that the Incas took over more land and people than anyone ever had in the history of South America lends credibility to the idea that the only way the Spanish won them over was by force. If one studies the Inca cultures and traditions one can easily see that there was only one way for the Spanish to gain power over them, and it was by force."

Abstract
This paper discusses Albert Bierstadt's art and describes how his paintings depict the landscapes and environments of the United States West in their most idyllic and archetypal form. The paper describes some of Bierstadt's specific paintings and provides an appendix with copies of the paintings for the reader to view. The paper suggests that Bierstadt held a bombastic mentality as he profited and helped forge the New Eden image of the soon to be conquered American West.
Table of Contents:
Cultivating His Landscapes
Bierstadt's New Eden
Bierstadt as Spokesman for Manifest Destiny
From the Paper
"Bierstadt was a product of his time, a true purveyor of Manifest Destiny and profiteer over the national drive westward. By all accounts, he had no evil intent nor was he a morally bad figure. It is with the aid of historical perspective that we may see how his individual works and success played a role in the paradigm of the American West. His pervasive advertisement of a New Eden was merely one part among many in the schema of mid-19th century American society and politics. Indian Canoe is a testament to the repercussions of zealotry and the dehumanization of those who stand before faith. The weight of all humanity's consciousness is heavier for it."
