Abstract
This paper explains that one of the most important messages of the women's rights movement was that the full strength of any society could never be realized if half of the persons, women, are not given the full ability to contribute to it, not only by voting but also with their strength as productive and employed members of the society. The author points out that, rather than incite her audience with the continued shortcomings of the roles of women, Gage's message is a message of hope to those who continue to fight for increased rights and equal advantages for women in education and work and to meet their own potential for the greater good of society. The paper relates that one of Gage's main concerns was the destructive and oppressive nature of the Christian faith toward women.
From the Paper
"In fact, the most striking thing about this speech specifically is the manner in which Gage keeps to the positive. She makes not even a hint of the negative, the reality being progress but hard earned and still relatively infantile. She uses the positive to build a case for the proof, of which her audience was very aware, that women are capable of higher thought, higher vocation and excellence in all and that the works of those women present and absent are not futile. This is in sharp contrast to the speeches she recorded a few years later, in an attempt to further the cause for her new radical women's organization, the darkness and fear created by the subjugation of women in the scriptures and teaching of the church."

Abstract
This paper discusses the characters of Roald Dahl's books and suggests that he pens characters who are either wholly good or wholly bad. The paper focuses on Dahl's book "Matilda" and compares Miss Honey, one of the good characters, with Matilda's father, Mr. Wormwood, one of the bad characters. The paper shows that both of these characters make a big difference in Matilda's life and are an indication of what Dahl considers to be good, praise-worthy adult characteristics.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, Mr. Wormwood is a dishonest, unloving man who does not notice children or understand them. Miss Honey is an honest, brave, warm and loving woman who notices children and understands them. Miss Honey seems to have many of the characteristics that Dahl considers to be important for adults, and because of this, she is a good and enriching influence in Matilda's life. She shows Matilda that good adults exist, and provides a good role model for Matilda. On the other hand, Mr. Wormwood's bad characteristics cause Matilda to rebel against evil, and so she finds her power."

Embracing Death in Women's Elegy, 2006.
An analysis of Emily Bronte's poems and Mary Shelley's novella, "Matilda", function as elegiac works that promote a reunification with nature as a maternal figure.

Abstract
This paper discusses, briefly, how Bronte and Shelley's works are elegiac, specifically, how they suggest that, by dying, an individual is reunited with the natural world. The paper explores the idea that this reunification with nature allows the dead to gain a "voice" they may not have had in life; nature does this by benefiting the dead, as a mother's actions benefit her child. The paper compares this aspect of nature to Peter Sack's argument about the ability of women to write the elegy.
From the Paper
"Female authors, of elegiac works, seem particularly drawn to death above all other topics in literature. In their works, death is depicted as a means by which to reunite with nature and, in so doing, gain a certain level of literary power. Emily Bronte's poems, "In the Earth, the Earth Thou Shalt Be Laid," "My Lady's Grave" and "All Hushed and Still Within the House," and Mary Shelley's novella, Matilda, are examples of such elegiac works, by women, that appear to embrace the concept of death and dying as an agent of reunification of a person, typically a woman, with nature. These writings, by Shelley and Bronte, further suggest that this reunification with the natural world benefits the deceased individual, in such a way, that he or, more often, she is able to assert his or herself to the outside world. Bronte and Shelley imply that nature benefit's the individual by acting as a nurturing, protective force, much like a maternal figure. This maternal characterization of nature, shared by Bronte and Shelley in the previously mentioned works, can be compared to Sacks' argument about female authors and how their struggle with the elegy is based primarily on a desire to regain a maternal bond that has been lost."

"La Dame aux Cam?lieas", 2004.
An analysis of the play "La Dame aux Camelieas" by Alexander Dumas.

Abstract
This paper examines three productions of Alexander Dumas' "La Dame aux Camelieas" in their respective social atmospheres. The three versions of Camille that are discussed are by Dumas, Matilda Heron and Charles Ludlam. The paper explores how each version is distinguished by the differing socio-geographical and chronological locations, each questioning different cultural conventions.
From the Paper
"La Dame aux Camelias, by Alexander Dumas, is a critical play in the history of theater. Despite the fact that La Dame aux Camelias has been condemned by critics for having scenes that "are sometimes thin... ragged... and ... out of date" (Archer), among other discredits, the work is still considered to be an indispensable cornerstone in the evolution of realist theater - "although consistently described as a work of inferior artistic craftsmanship, its longevity testifies to its status as a story of superior dramatic interest" (Hamilton). La Dame aux Camelias is a product of many theatrical and literary influences, which include the tight construction of Scribe's "well made" play, the insight of the sociological novelist Honore de Belzac, and the literary devices of melodrama. However, La Dame aux Camelias differs from Scribe's well made play in that it raises the moral thesis of the play -- at most, it is considered "something to be disparaged as a sentimental by-product of the well made play" (Stanton). It is unlike Belzac's work in that his observations are restricted particularly to his own social milieu. "

The American Revolution, 2005.
An analysis of the theme of military miscommunication by the British in the American Revolution.

Abstract
The paper analyzes how the issue of underestimating the enemy and a failure to adhere to General North's orders remain central to the British's defeat through miscommunication. The paper examines how, although Howe may have been acting in defiance of General North to gain greater glory by taking Philadelphia, the majority of Howe's failures rest on improper military intelligence. The paper further examines how Burgoyne suffered from a lack of properly gaging the enemy, as he clearly was soundly defeated after three major battles in New York.
From the Paper
"This historical analysis will reveal and critically evaluate the problem of miscommunication on the part of the British during the American Revolution. By revealing the various British generals involved in the war, one can give the various reasons that miscommunication caused errors in land based strategy and their eventual defeat. In this manner, the British failed to properly evaluate information on the colonials through a series of communication problems in the military hierarchal structure. The British army made a series of military errors through miscommunication, which vastly underestimated the forces of the Massachusetts colonial militia. The battle for Boston was crucial in the beginning of the revolution, since it relied on British intelligence that held the King's Army superior to those of the smaller American militias."

Chimp Intelligence, 2004.
An examination of the level of chimpanzee intelligence and its similarities to human intelligence.

Abstract
This paper presents various opinions, which state that chimpanzees possess very similar intelligence capabilities to humans and that they need to be studied further in order to gage the extent of their skills.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, the intelligence of chimpanzees can be demonstrated by addressing five specific conditions. First, language research has shown that chimpanzees can learn to use words and symbols in order to make contact with humans (some can also use numbers quite effectively); second, they have the capacity to create and utilize tools in order to obtain food and in some instances as weapons in aggressive situations; third, chimpanzees are highly skilled at hunting where cooperation between individuals is a necessity; fourth, they are obviously fully aware of their own existence and are capable of playing tricks; and lastly, they are excellent problem-solvers and can use their brain power in cognitive ways, all of which proves that chimpanzees are indeed intelligent which makes them one of the most fascinating creatures on the planet to study and at times revere."

Nike and Adidas, 2005.
A comparative analysis of the financial characteristics of Nike and Adidas.

Abstract
This paper discusses the financial characteristics of 2 specific companies: Nike and Adidas. It looks at how these companies were chosen because they are the respective leaders in the athletic footwear and apparel industry and both are publicly traded making information more easily accessible. It also shows how, because of their size and marketing leading financial performances, these companies are a strong gage of the overall global economy.
From the Paper
"Nike is the acknowledged leading athletic footwear and apparel manufacturer and maintains more than 18,000 retail outlets, independent distributors and resellers around the world in over 140 different countries (Nike, Inc, 2004, p.5). Nike's products are considered high end and Nike's business model depends heavily on its in-house research and design (R&D) department which designs its products while the actual manufacturing process is outsourced to facilities overseas. In this sense Nike is more of a marketing and design firm rather than a manufacturer in the true sense of the word. Nike has its headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, and continually improves and strengthens its brand primarily through savvy marketing campaigns and superstar athlete endorsements. "

Abstract
This paper examines several components of the U.S. economy from 2000-2002 in order to gage whether or not it is healthy. The economy's health prior to 2001 is discussed in detail in order to give the reader a good basis for understanding why certain materials are included in this paper. The author looks at GDP, the unemployment rate and inflation in order to examine their affect on the current economy. Any new monetary and fiscal policies that have been introduced to help deal with problems arising are then presented and analyzed in order to judge their efficiency.
From the Paper
"According to Encarta Gross Domestic Product is defined as total value of goods and services produced in a country over any given period of time. GDP is calculated in one of three ways: (1) by adding up the value of all goods and services produced, (2) by adding up the expenses on goods and services at there sold, or (3) by adding up manufacturer' earnings from the sale of services or goods. This variable is important when examining the health of the economy because it measures the country?s standard of living. If GDP increases at a higher rate than the population, standards of living are rising. If the population is increasing at a greater rate than GDP, living standards are falling. (Encarta) The following table shows U.S. GDP over the last 18 months: Starting with the fourth quarter of 2000 ending with the fourth quarter of 2001."
