Conclusion
From the Paper
"St. Lucie County developed a local mitigation strategy in 1998 after the devastation to the area from hurricanes Jeanne and Frances ("Local", n.d., para. 1). The local mitigation strategy is comprised of "three municipalities within the County, the local business community, and non-profit organizations" ("Local", n.d., para. 1). These entities work together to address issues that adversely affect the citizenry of the area and provide methods that ensure that the least amount of "impact" is realized following a "manmade or natural hazard" ("Local", n.d., para. 2).
"The local mitigation strategy calls for a steering committee that works to alleviate concerns that have previously been felt by the community in other situations. The committee develops a list of issues that have priority for the community and that are the first to receive federal funding, should a hazard occur. The communications between the three primary groups that oversee the needs of the community stakeholders are then addressed through the existence of the steering committee, which acts on their behalf in situations related to community concern."

Abstract
This paper looks at the masculine character of the woman, Fefu in Maria Irene Forne's play "Fefu and Her Friends". It shows the various ways that Fefu strays from her traditional role as a woman as she gives up her gender to join the male forces in society.
From the Paper
"Feminism is an area of increasing interest and mystery especially in modern plays like Maria Irene Fornes?s Fefu and Her Friends. Fefu, an antithesis to her stereotypical fellow women, serves as the bold, daring and ?new cross-gender? type figure of the play. This broad spectrum of extreme levels of manhood portrayed by Fefu is equalized out and even supported by the overall characterizations of the women in the text. In turn, these characterizations of Fefu and her friends all come together to depict Fefu?s ?manhood?. Although a woman, Fefu portrays herself as a strong, domineering character, like the stereotypical male, and tries to enforce this masculinity upon her friends."

From the Paper
"The authoritarian rule of the Byzantine emperors extended to church, state, and military. As a consequence of the complete interdependence of the church and state in Byzantium, the religious art of the Empire frequently reflected the authoritarian nature of imperial power. One of the forms this art took was the imperial votive portrait. A brief discussion of the reasons for Byzantine authoritarianism, especially in regard to control of the church, will demonstrate why such a tradition of portraiture developed. An analysis of one example, a portrait of the Emperor John II Comnenus and the Empress Irene with the Madonna, shows how such portraits were assertions of imperial power.
The Byzantine Empire came into being as the result of chaos in the Western half of the Roman Empire."

Abstract
This paper examines the protagonist in Jamaica Kincaid's "Lucy", especially the way her anger affects her relationships with the people who love her. The author points out that these relationships are hindered both by Lucy's uncertainty of what she wants and by the anger that constantly seems to be bubbling under the surface. The paper discusses the relationships between Lucy and her mother, Lucy and Mariah, and Lucy and Peggy.
From the Paper
"When Lucy comes to the United States, her life takes a dramatic turn. All of the things that she once understood and had taken for granted have changed. On the morning of her first day in the United States, that point is illustrated quite clearly for her. The simple assumption that the shining sun equals warmth no longer has any validity. She is forced to acknowledge that she no longer lives in a tropical zone. This realization comes upon her: like a flow of water dividing formerly dry and solid ground, creating two banks, one of which was my past--as familiar and predictable that even my unhappiness then made me happy now just to think of it--the other my future, a gray black and overcast seascape on which rain was falling and no boats were in sight."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper details the story of a woman whose life revolved around love, art and passion. The heroine's ideas about love are a little extreme and the author portrays her vision of idealized romantic love. This paper includes several excerpts from the book that describe Lucy's ideas about love. Finally, the author concludes that the love that Lucy yearns for cannot survive in the mere world.
From the Paper
"In the character of Lucy Gayheart, in the novel of the same name, Willa Cather embodies a vision of idealized romantic Love. This is such a vast Love that it requires a capital L. For Lucy, Love is intense, yearning, painful and tragic. It offers escape, freedom, elevation, fire, passion and pain. Love and Art (or music as art) and fiery passion are intimately intertwined in Lucy?s vision. In fact they become identified as one, and for Lucy Gayheart these three are the essence of Life. Without this expanded Love, Lucy cannot have Life. In the absence of this Love, Lucy dies. In the character of Lucy Gayheart, Willa Cather unites Love and Life and Art and Passion into one all encompassing concept of romantic liberation from the mundane."

Abstract
This paper explains that Lucy Grealy, in her book "Autobiography of a Face", tells how she spent much of her childhood in and out of hospitals for painful cancer treatments and failed facial reconstructions and how she experienced emotionally searing bullying. The author relates Grealy's story of her several empty sexual affairs, which made her feel important, loved and needed by a man. The paper reports that, while her book ends happily with her rejection of beauty norms and embracing her own uniqueness, her life ended abruptly at the age of 39. The author concludes that, in this autobiography, the themes of ideal female beauty and sexuality are tied together in the life and experiences of Lucy Grealy.
From the Paper
"In Shaw and Lee's book "Women's Voices, Feminist Visions", several points are made about the beauty ideal that are directly relevant to Lucy Grealy's life. The authors note that "contemporary images of female beauty are changeable...what is considered beautiful is culturally produced and therefore changes across time and across cultures." While there are changing standards, such as that being thin in some cultures and time periods is considered ugly and a sign of being poor, Lucy Grealy's facial deformity does not fall into one of those changing beauty standards."

In Defense of Lucy Steele, 2001.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the role of women in society, and the intense race for a proper marriage in "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austen. The author specifically uses the character of Lucy Steele as an example of the desperate measures taken by young women who must secure a good economic future for themselves. The paper pays close attention to the legal and economic roles of women under old English Law.
From the Paper
"While the character traits of Miss Steele seemingly leave much to be desired in the area of respectability by today?s standards, her actions can be clearly understood when the setting and time is examined during which Sense and Sensibility was written. In England during the early 1800s, the economic future of a young woman depended solely upon her entering into a marriage with a man of means. Life for women in the 1800s was completely dictated by male rule, and if a young woman was not successful in ?winning? a husband for herself, her future was bleak, indeed."

"The Enormous Radio" by Cheever and "The Smoker" by Schickler, 2006.

Abstract
The paper uses the characters Irene Westcott in "The Enormous Radio" (John Cheever) and Douglas Kerchek in "The Smoker" (David Schickler) to looks at two themes that are prevalent in both short stories; the issue of the individual's battle against invasion of another person's privacy and the emergence of self-reflection and self-realization among the protagonists. The paper discusses the issue of privacy in society and shows how this is mirrored through the characters in the two literary works discussed. In the texts included in the paper, these themes are examined and analyzed thoroughly, with references to both short stories.
From the Paper
"In contemporary society, the value of one's privacy is given premium importance, the reason being that people have and can exercise the right to decide whether or not to let people know things about him/her. Disclosure then becomes a voluntary act that must be the individual's prerogative to another individual or group of people. The issue of privacy, then, is an important concern because of the increasing prevalence of individualist thinking in society nowadays. Human society is characterized by its focus on the individual; it is not surprising, then, if literature would depict a similar characterization of society--one that puts importance on the self or individual."

Making the Familiar Unfamiliar, 2002.
A review of the play, "Conduct of Life" by Maria Irene Fornes, focusing on the theme of making that what is familiar, unfamiliar.
2,102 words (approx. 8.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 66.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the part of the process of staging a play that makes the familiar unfamiliar, that isolates elements so as to suggest reality, the familiar, in an unfamiliar way. Maria Irene Fornes' play, "Conduct of Life", is examined and compared with other literary works. A brief background of Fornes is presented.
From the Paper
"Part of the process of staging a play is to make the familiar unfamiliar, to isolate elements so as to suggest reality, the familiar, in an unfamiliar way. Plays do not take place in the real world but in a created world, a world set in one isolated spot (the stage) with several specific individuals isolated from real life (characters) interacting in a manner that conveys thematic issues and concerns to the audience. Such communication is controlled in a way that real life is not. Issues are isolated from the extraneous and conveyed in a way that has been shaped by the playwright for maximum impact. In the play "Conduct of Life" by Maria Irene Fornes, the familiar is made unfamiliar first in the setting, which is suggested as a set of four horizontal planes selectively illuminated and selectively populated as characters move from one area to another, evoking images of life but not life itself."
