Abstract
This paper begins by comparing speeches by civil rights activists Martin Luther King, Jr ("I Have a Dream") and Malcolm X (?The Ballot or the Bullet?). It explains and compares the differences in tones, use of imagery and other techniques which made these two speeches so memorable. The paper then analyzes "Dying To Be Thin" by Jennifer Breuer to give an example of a speech which is more clinical and informative in nature. Women's rights activist, Elizabeth Cady Stanton's speech ?The Declaration of Sentiments?, given at the 1848 Seneca Falls Conference is then discussed as an example of a combination of learning, education, experience, eloquence and passion.
From the Paper
"With this shift in language, and thus shift in perspective, Stanton makes a radical statement about the equality of women to men in the public sphere. This was something that most Americans in the middle of the 19th century did not believe (or had not considered). To be an effective advocate for her cause, Stanton had both to reveal and to conceal the truly radical nature of her ideas. By phrasing her analysis of women?s rights in terms of the Declaration of Independence, Stanton was (implicitly) arguing that what she was arguing for was not radical, was simply a natural and even necessary extension of the rights of all and any Americans that the Revolutionary War had been fought to gain. But, by phrasing her analysis of women?s rights in terms of the Declaration of Independence, Stanton was also (implicitly) arguing that her demands were as radical and as morally right as those demands made by the colonists to King George."

Abstract
Many researchers have shown that mental imagery is extremely beneficial when it comes to memory. After examining several studies and experiments where imagery and rehearsal strategies were used to test memory, the paper concludes that imagery is a far better study technique than repetition. The paper also shows the benefits of memory studies such as helping teachers with lecture techniques, improving students study habits and providing researchers with a more clear understanding of what goes on in the human brain when dealing with memory.
From the Paper
"Pictorial memory, using the imagery technique to recall, proved to be superior over verbal memory in a study done where subjects were presented with 18 picture pairs and 18 word pairs and were told to remember them according to either the imagery or repetition technique (Yarmey & Barker, 1971). Participants were given eight seconds to study each word pair and then were presented with a stimulus and asked to recall the second word in the pair. Results showed that imagery study was more effective than repetition study. Even when conducting a delayed test, retention of picture pairs was superior to word pairs. These results support the theory that pictorial stimuli are more easily differentiated and also subject to less interference than concrete nouns (Yarmey & Barker, 1971)."

From the Paper
"There are several factors that influence the memorization process in young children, including individual (e.g., age, developmental level, psychological state, perceptual processes, presence of disease, allergies, nutrition and its-influences, etc.) and environmental factors (e.g., relationship between child and parent figure, expectations of parent figure and child, encouragement of memorization paralleling reality, and reinforcement of memorization) (Ilg, Bates-Ames, & Baker, 1986; Mussen, Conger, & Kagan, 1988).
Thomas (1985, p. 1026) reports that memory consists of the mental registration, retention, and recall of past experience, knowledge, ideas, sensations, and thoughts. The registration of experience is favored by clear comprehension during intense consciousness. The retention of memory differs greatly with..."

T. S. Eliot: The Poetic Mind, 2002.
An analysis of the imagery in T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and "The Wasteland" from the point of view of how Eliot's images developed as a personal experience.
1,740 words (approx. 7.0 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 56.95

Abstract
This paper offers examples from 'The Waste Land' and 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'. It discusses how the brilliant poetic mind of T. S. Eliot mixes inner and outer experiences to create memorable lines that reverberate in the minds of his listeners. The seeming obscurity of Eliot's imagery is discussed as well as his "magic lantern" processing of images. The critical opinions of Cleanth Brooks help to demonstrate Eliot's creative process.
From the Paper
"The poetry of T.S. Eliot is an emphatic example of how ?the poet?s mind is. . .a receptacle for seizing and storing up numberless feelings, phrases, images, which remain there until all the particles which can unite to form a new compound are present together? (Eliot, ?Tradition and the Individual Talent? 8). These words from one of the many essays he wrote on the subject of poetic creation, show how well Eliot knew his own poetic process. Eliot is an extremely self conscious poet, delving into his process more thoroughly than other poets who are less intellectual or introspective. This paper offers examples from ?The Waste Land? and ?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock? of how the cauldron of Eliot?s poetic mind mixes inner and outer experiences to create indelible lines that reverberate in the minds of his listeners."

Abstract
"This paper shall examine three memorable quotations provided by the somewhat inscrutable protagonist of Ayn Rand? 1957 classic, Atlas Shrugged. The paper argues that Gault's quotations are intended to underscore Rand's own conclusion that the de-sanctification of private property, free-market competition, human ingenuity and creativity and, not least of all, societal standards of excellence will lead to tribalism, wide-scale mediocrity and inefficiency, and will excise a society of its essential vitality. In an age where big government remains an ever-present danger, Rand? work has lost none of its importance."
From the Paper
The world that Ayn Rand crafts for us in Atlas Shrugged is a deeply disturbing one in which individual thought and creativity has been suppressed to such an extent that society itself has stopped moving forward. This paper reviews Rand's work by exploring three passages found on our assignment worksheet in which his views about the society he has fled are delineated. The importance of these passages to the text's underlying themes will be discussed in their appropriate sections. However, it may be said that Rand's John Gault, the man who effectively stopped the motor of the world, is the diabolical seer whose vision leads to a society of cynical indifference, mistrust, and spiritual vacuity. The story begins with Eddie Willers in a heated discussion with President James Taggart, of Taggart Transcontinental.

Baxter (Lemmon), an ambitious and somewhat gullible young insurance clerk who tries to advance his social standing by lending his apartment key to several high-ranking executives who are prone to cheating on their wives. But when Baxter meets and falls madly in love with Fran Kubelik (MacLaine), the apartment building's elevator operator, it suddenly dawns on him that Fran is the same woman that his boss (MacMurray), a so-called happily married man, has been taking to his apartment for numerous sexual romps."

Abstract
This paper discusses Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew". The paper examines the play's patriarchic themes, such as the taming of wild women, a man's domineering character and female subjugation. The paper contends that while many critics feel that the play chronicles the domination process in a marriage where Petruchio, the male lead finally overpowers his wild and aggressive wife, Katherine Minola, closer analysis of the play reveals that this is not exactly true. The paper claims that the play actually deals with the issue of equality of power. The paper states that this play presents a mockery of wife submission norms in English society of 17th century rather than an approval of the same.
From the Paper
"Kate who was very wild and rarely ever submitted to anyone was dragged into a marriage against her wishes. One wonders then, how and why did she ever let her father take this action if she was actually so outspoken. We must understand that while she didn't have much choice in the case since it was a time when arranged marriage customs were rife her behavior earned her the right and respect that she deserved. This is very clear when we read the betrothal scenes of both Kate and Bianca and compare them to each other. In Kate's betrothal scene, her father Baptista, makes it absolutely clear that he wants Pet to win her daughter's love before he could hope to have her money while in Bianca's betrothal scene, she is objectified as Baptista feels he could hand her over to anyone he found suitable enough.

Learner-Centered Teaching, 2007.
A review of literature comparing the success of memorization techniques for learning and learner-centered teaching techniques.

Abstract
This paper reviews literature regarding learner-centered teaching practices and the old rote memorization styles of teaching. The paper compares real life learning situations to those in the classroom. It shows that relaying information through memorization techniques, builds misunderstanding and reduces self-esteem, which then becomes a barrier to understanding. The paper closes by demonstrating the value of a learner-teacher cooperative in which the learner is teaching the instructor how they best learn, offering both a better opportunity to demonstrate learning and greater success for both in the future.
From the Paper
"Though, as has been mentioned before, the focus of the two works are decidedly different in that the second directly addresses higher education and the first is more likely to be applied to primary, intermediate and secondary settings they both have very strong points of departure for any individual or system seeking to make the learning environment more productive for students, rather than a system that focuses almost exclusively on the success of the teacher and learning as secondary to it. Though the lower school work, would inherently have less of a focus on this as autonomy in the public school systems is more limited than it is in the post-secondary setting the two together demonstrate the need to recognize the connections between student achievement as a demonstrative practice happening daily in the classroom, rather than demonstrated through the standardized testing outcomes alone."

Abstract
The paper states that the method of research was qualitative interviews with administrators, teachers and students. The paper presents many quotations from the research. The conclusion was that the administrators believed that standardized, rigorous tests and well-written textbooks were the most important factors in ensuring that students acquired a sound understanding of history, but the teachers and students themselves agree that the integration of a critical-thinking approach was the best motivator.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"History is not a subject that tends to inspire high school students. The mention of the subject is more inclined to invoke eye rolling rather than the quickened heartbeat that indicates passionate interest. This is, of course, problematic, because an understanding of history is an essential part of the education of the youth of a democracy. Moreover, it is unnecessary because history can be riveting. "

The paper concludes that " Just Like Heaven" might seem like a "sweet" film that ends happily; however, this romantic comedy blends elements of mystery, laughter and pathos to create a memorable film.
From the Paper
"However, it is the secondary cast that really holds this film together and makes it sing, even though the primary on-screen roles are Elizabeth and David. Abby, Elizabeth's sister is just the right blend of caring sibling, over-tasked mother, and skeptical caretaker to make the role her own. She is funny, moving, and loving in turn, and her role may be one of the most challenging in the film, because she is the one who must make the tough decision whether to give up on her sister or not. She is convincing in the role, and confesses in the Special Features that her "favorite" director is her husband."
