Abstract
A paper which analyzes "Poetry" by Marianne Moore, beginning with an interpretation of its famous first line, "I too, dislike it". The paper also draws a comparison between "Poetry" and Wallace Stevens' "Of Modern Poetry".
From the Paper
"By reading these two great poems by these modern poets, the reader can relate to and understand the concepts behind what 'modern poetry' is all about. These two poems are totally different from each other, while their names are so much similar. The main reasons for the differences in content are obvious but the similarity of the names does throw a person off. Moore writes about the pseudo poets while Stevens' poem speaks about the passions of the human mind."

From the Paper
"Marianne Moore is a rare combination of 'poet's poet' and advice-giving moralist. Moore was always admired by a select group of modern poets, but she was often misunderstood and unintelligible to the average reader. Critics frequently believed that Moore's poetry dealt with inconsequential topics. However, as was often the situation, many critics did not understand her poetry either. There is much more philosophy in Moore's poetry than many of her critics ever imagined. In fact, it would be difficult to appreciate Moore's poetry without comprehending its philosophical depths and epistemological approaches.
Concerning Moore's prosody, her poetry is neither free verse nor accented rhythms. Her model is French. The words in Moore's ... "

Elizabeth Bishop, Marianne Moore and CK Williams, 2000.
An examination of the three poets' use of nature, styles, techniques and themes.

Abstract
Nature is a source of inspiration for the poet, and nature is used for its imagery, for its symbolic meaning, and for its role as a powerful force in human life. Nature was elevated to a high position by the Romantic poets, but poets before that time used nature as well. Many poets show a particular affinity for nature, tending to delve into it as an example of fertility, a connection with the infinite, a symbol of human sexuality, and so on.

"Nature is a source of inspiration for the poet, and nature is used for its imagery, for its symbolic meaning, and for its role as a powerful force in human life. Nature was elevated to a high position by the Romantic poets, but poets before that time used nature as well. Many poets show a particular affinity for nature, tending to delve into it as an example of fertility, a connection with the infinite, a symbol of human sexuality, and so on. Poets such as Elizabeth Bishop, Marianne Moore, and C.K. Williams show an affinity for nature and develop images of nature by means of a strong sense of poetic language. Each shows ways in which form mirrors content, reflecting in some fashion an organic sense of both nature and language, and each also shows a certain self-consciousness about being a poet and being linked to a poetic tradition."

Abstract
This paper explains that Lorrie Moore expertly uses her humor to provide readers with an in-depth look at character identity. The author points out that Moore is mostly known for her short stories, which rely on a clever play of words, irony and sardonic black humor that normally hides the characters' underlying sorrow or traumatic experiences. The paper concludes that one of the most remarkable things about Moore's style is the total lack of melodrama. This paper includes many quotations.

"However, under the laughs and guffaws in "How to Be a Writer" is the woman who is attempting to be taken seriously as an author and make her way in an occupation that is treacherous at best and deadly at worst. As all writers do, Francie begins to look at her own abilities. Here Moore once again shows the underlying search for identity. Francie begins to doubt her own worth as a writer: "Begin to wonder what you do write about. Or if you have anything to say. Or if there is even such a thing as a thing to say. Limit these thoughts to no more than ten...""

Abstract
This paper uses Michael Moore's documentary film, "Fahrenheit 9/11" to discuss the theories of Max Weber, Emile Durkheim and Karl Marx. The paper discusses Moore's portrayal of President George W. Bush and his response to 9/11 and contends that Weber's theories are the most relevant ones to the film since they can best be applied to Moore's central concept in the film.
From the Paper
"Michael Moore's film, "Fahrenheit 9/11", has been described as an attempt on the part of the filmmaker to unseat a president. The film stresses what Moore saw as President George W. Bush's ineptitude in responding to the September 11th terrorist attack against the United States. As film critic John Petrakis puts it, Moore portrays the president as village idiot, a man who is in so far over his head that his only recourse is to take vacation after vacation, leaving the day-to-day running of the office..."

Henry Moore, 2002.
An introduction to the sculpture of artist Henry Moore, his art style and the events that affected his work.
650 words (approx. 2.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 23.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses Henry Moore, an influential English abstract sculptor, who lived from 1898 to 1986. The paper presents his family and educational background that helped form and mold his art. The author feels that Moore's prime concern was the material; he loved working in stone and used it almost exclusively in his work.
From the Paper
"Moore's artistic talent was discovered early when an art teacher took interest in his work while he was still in secondary school. His family did not encourage him in his artistic pursuits; and so he began his career as a teacher and then went into the army. In 1919, he received a grant to study for two years at the Leeds School of Art. Here he discovered a book by Roger Fry called "Vision and Design", which changed forever the way he looked at art. Fry's book showed him less traditional forms of art such as Mexican sculpture and Negro art."

Michael Moore, 2005.
A discussion about the controversial opinions of American far-Left spokesperson and film maker, Michael Moore.

Abstract
This paper looks at some of the controversial and shocking statements and publications that are attributed to left-wing director, Michael Moore. The writer argues that, although many people in America hold the same views as Michael Moore and may discuss them among themselves, there are very few, far left-wing spokespersons in America. The paper looks at some of his most popular films and questions whether they are true documentaries or simple propaganda for his political views.
From the Paper
"To consider this accusation let us use an example. FOX News?a clear right-wing mouthpiece?every hour of every day claims to be presenting America with a ?fair and balanced? account of the news. No honest person would ever believe that Fox News is unbiased. So, if we are to admit that FOX News is biased, are we then also forced to admit that what FOX News covers is not real news? No. Although FOX News may be very selective, and indeed biased in what news stories they choose to cover, it would be irrational to conclude that what they do cover is not the news. Similarly, just because Michael Moore chooses to reveal some facts in his films and not others, does not make it logical to conclude that his films are anything other than documentaries."

Abstract
This paper is a review of the work of Henry Moore who had a long artistic career producing numerous sculptures. The writer reviews several pieces of his work. The paper presents Moore as a highly challenging artist whose work forces participation on the part of the viewer.
Table of Contents
?Reclining Woman?
?Reclining Figure?
?Family Group?
?Atomic Piece?/ ?Nuclear Energy?
?Knife Edge Mirror Two Piece?
?Sheep?
From the Paper
Henry Moore?s long artistic career produced a multitude of sculptures with remarkably individualistic traits, although they are clearly the vision of a single creative mind. Their simplicity and mass combine with a curious gracefulness and lightness, making the viewer look closer and even attempt to interact with the work.
His sculpture ?Reclining Woman?, done in 1930 in Hornton stone, evokes the heavy power of his early works. Her big body is a series of undulating hills and simple peaks, like the rural countryside where Moore grew up.

Alan Moore's Comic Book Creations, 2008.

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the charge that superhero comic books are invariably sexist in their production and speak to deep-seated and traditional gender stereotypes. Historically, the writer argues that this has been almost exclusively the case, with some notable, if controversial, exceptions such as Wonder Woman. However, content analysis of three works by Alan Moore, 'Watchmen', 'Tom Strong' and 'Top 10', illustrate that it is possible to appropriate the traditionally sexist imagery of the superhero genre and utilize it to call attention to the gender stereotypes that permeate much of the comic book industry. The writer notes that Moore's work has progressively satirized tropes in the superhero genre and have helped, inadvertently or not, through satire to call attention to the wealth of sexism apparent in portrayals of women in comics. The writer maintains that the implication of this hypothesis is that there may be an emerging trend toward the dissolution of traditional gender stereotypes in comic books.

Methodology
Findings, Discussion, and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Content analysis is the approach by which one examines a particular cultural text, and critically examines it to unearth specific socio-cultural trends and realities. Some might question this as a viable research method. After all, how useful is a critical analysis of comic books, when one is talking about a pervasive problem such as sexism? How can content analyses of popular movies add anything pertinent to contemporary discussions of poverty in Western nations?"
"The reality is, however, that cultural productions--such as novels, movies, and even comic books--can be powerful, if unintentional portals into the manifestations of cultural trends. Culture and society is really little more than the way in which people interact with one another and the artifacts that they create in the process. These artifacts might be songs or books or movies or ephemeral speeches and behaviors. But what they all share in common is an innate reflection of the socio-cultural trends and attitudes possessed by their creators or society at large. In other words, targeted content analysis of items such as comic books can reveal important information about the attitudes and beliefs of the society in which those particular artifacts were created."

Moral Philosophy in Moore and Gibbons' "Watchmen", 2005.
Examines the moral philosophies of the major characters in Alan Moore and David Gobbons' classic comic masterpiece "Watchmen."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the moral/philosophical arguments represented by Rorschach, The Comedian, Dr. Manhattan and Ozymandias in Alan Moore and David Gibbons' "Watchmen." By citing specific examples from the text, this paper illuminates the intertextuality between "Watchmen's" major characters and the works of philosophers such as Sartre, Nietzsche and A.C. MacIntyre.
From the Paper
"Unlike the Comedian, Rorschach does find meaning through moral absolutism. Moral absolutism is a deontological moral philosophy that holds that moral rules are universal and absolute (McConnell, 1981, p. 287). Rorschach then proceeds to enforce these absolute moral rules in a way that is not necessarily consistent with "common morality.""
