Abstract
This paper discusses the methods the CIA used to try to "get rid" of Fidel Castro and overthrow the communist Cuban government. This paper gives light to some of the many plots the CIA came up with to rid the world of history's longest ruling communist dictator.
From the Paper
"To say that the relationship between the United States and Cuba is complicated is a major understatement. Ever since 1959, when Fidel Castro came into power in Cuba, the two nations have had a strained relationship at best, and a highly adversarial relationship when things got worse. Now that the Cold War is over and Cuba is no longer receiving weapons and aid from the defunct Soviet Union, relations between the two countries are much more relaxed. However, during the height of the Cold War, during the Kennedy administration and even before that, the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States developed and planned several ways to bring down the communist Cuban government; the catalyst they kept going back to in order to bring down the government was the assassination of Fidel Castro."

Abstract
The paper discusses how Thomas Hardy?s poem ?The Man He Killed? focuses on the author?s disdain toward war and senseless killing of people who are similar to him. It shows how Hardy uses descriptive terms and detailed language to evoke emotion in his reader and the emotion he is most likely hoping for is that of empathy toward other soldiers and dislike toward war.
From the Paper
"When the narrator uses the word ?quaint? to describe war, it sticks out like a sore thumb. (L17) For the most part, quaint means that something is pleasing to you, and war certainly isn?t pleasing to the narrator. It could be sarcasm at work, and that is a very effective tool. It could be that quaint is meant to actually mean something else. By adding ?curious? to the description, you can almost see the man sitting with a confused look on his face. (L.17 It is not so much about the man dying, but what it has done to make the war much less glamorous for the guy."

"The Man Who Killed a Shadow", 2002.
A review of the short story "The Man Who Killed a Shadow" by Richard Wright.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the main character in the short story "The Man Who Killed a Shadow" by Richard Wright is a black man named Saul, a man who has never learned to relate to others in the normal manner but who sees them as shadows. It shows how this began in his childhood and has continued into adulthood and the only way he can see people any other way comes when he drinks alcohol. It analyzes how the story presents this vision as an inversion, for to the rest of the world--at least the white world that holds power--Saul himself stands as no more than a shadow.
From the Paper
"Saul lives a relatively simple life, his job never that demanding, his time taken up with fear and drinking to assuage the fear. The portrait painted of the life of a black man in a white world becomes devastating as the story progresses. This builds until it leads to Saul's job as an exterminator, by definition a job associated with death and the elimination of what people often fear. Even that job he loses because of his drinking. His next job entails cleaning different businesses, a demeaning job for a man who has been demeaned many times in his life. When he starts to clean the library, he meets the "strange little shadow woman . . . who stared at him all the time in a most peculiar way" (93). He thinks she may be afraid of him, but clearly he fears her. She begins to challenge his work, as if he had not cleaned under her desk when he clearly had. She says she finds dust there when no dust could survive Saul's cleaning."

"First They Killed My Father" by Loung Ung, 2008.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the book "First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers" by Loung Ung. The paper contains an argumentative analysis of the book, including style and structure. The paper then looks at the quote from her father: "The first victims are always the children" (Ung 66), and Ung's book backs up this quote by showing how the children of the victims of the Khmer Rouge regime were victims of violence, mental manipulation, and physical punishment as part of their treatment by the regime. The paper also points out that Ung uses fear throughout the book to build tension and create fear in the reader.
From the Paper
"In the beginning of the book, it is clear Ung's family is well off. They eat out often in restaurants, they own three cars, and they have a maid in their large apartment. Ung's father works for the government, however, and when Pol Pot takes over the country and brings communism to the country, her father is a prime target for removal, and the family leaves their home with little else but the clothes on their backs. As the author movingly notes, "Yesterday I was playing hopscotch with my friends. Today we are running from soldiers with guns" (Ung 27)."

"Who Killed Canadian History?", 2007.
An analysis of the concepts of teaching Canadian history and Jack Granatstein's book "Who Killed Canadian History?".

Abstract
This paper looks at whether or not the fragmentation of Canadian history over the course of time has been bad for Canada, as historian, Jack Granatstein suggests in his book "Who Killed Canadian History?" Ultimately, the author of the paper takes the view that Granatstein's book raises some worthwhile points, but fails to consider all the ways in which a new approach to teaching history has engaged minority students and compelled those in the majority to take a more thoughtful look at their own past.
From the Paper
"Additionally, critics of Granatstein's work argue that he fails to appreciate that the proper role of education is not simply to give students dry "facts" but to teach them the skills they need to critically assess those facts and to arrive at their own conclusions after systematically amassing and analyzing the available evidence. Suffice it to say, proper teaching (at least in the social sciences) is about having students critically engage the "big" questions which will eventually confront them as voting adults; it is not about giving them questions which have already been answered."

From the Paper
"The actual truth about past events, as far as accuracy is concerned, is difficult to guarantee. This is because of the fact that one cannot really rely on accounts that may have been recorded with bias. However, the records about the life of Christ, His trial, and His death, are believed to be considerably accurate. This may be asserted because of the fact that, to a great extent, the four Gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, directly relate to each other in descriptions of events that took place in the life of Christ. Also, whatever came to pass in the life of Christ was prophesized in the Jewish scriptures much in advance of Christ?s birth. Hence, there is little room left for skepticism if one takes into account the authenticity of dates and times in these recordings."

Who Killed Benny Paret?, 2001.

Abstract
This paper studies the essay written by Norman Cousins in 1962 about who was responsible for the death of then famous boxer, Benny Paret. It looks at the dangers of boxing as a blood sport and questions whether wider social circles were to blame for his death.
From the Paper
"In his 1962 essay "Who Killed Benny Paret?", Norman Cousins makes a strong argument against the propriety - and the morality - of professional boxing. He backs up his statement with quotes from an interview he did nearly three decades before he wrote this essay as well as facts from the then-recent death of boxer Benny Paret. Although the essay is a compelling argument about the physical dangers of boxing to participants and the moral dangers of boxing to those who watch the sport, the essay would be even more effective if it were not quite so repetitive and if the events that he is writing about were better known to today's readers."

Abstract
This paper begins by presenting a short literary analysis of the poem "The Man he Killed" by Thomas Hardy. It mentions theme, tone, diction and narrative and other literary devices used throughout the poem. The paper then compares the anti-war tone of the poem to the current Iraq war. The author of the paper presents the negative aspects of the war and questions its justifications.
From the Paper
""Had he and I but met/By some old ancient inn," are the first two lines of Thomas Hardy's "The Man He Killed." The poem is narrative poetry that is told through the eyes of a solider who relates his wartime experience. The soldier doesn't seem to be taking the experience too well and regrets that he had to kill the enemy. By reading 20 lines of poetry, it is clear that the speaker in this story is totally against the war and he has a legitimate claim and many will agree with his protest. War is not a pretty sight and with it comes consequences that we don't think too much about."

From the Paper
"This study will analyze Frank Waters' novel The Man Who Killed the Deer. The study will specifically consider how the American-Indian concepts of animism, interrelatedness, and balance in Creation influence political reasoning, leadership and political action. Also to be considered is how American-Indian political leadership differs from Anglo political leadership in the way that they digest issues and act on them.
The protagonist of the novel is Martiniano, a Pueblo Indian who is caught between the Indian and Anglo worlds, not truly belonging fully to either one. His plight serves to illuminate the differences in the two cultures and their attitudes toward nature and politics.
Generally, the Indian view of nature and politics is that they are parts of a dynamic and living whole. Nothing in life is..."

Guns Kill People or do People Kill People?, 2002.
A detailed discussion on the topic of gun control.
2,250 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 14 sources, APA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this study on gun control, particularly in the United States, the writer explores both sides of the issue from a political as well as a moral standpoint. The writer works to present fair presentation for both sides and then draws it all together in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"As the world moves into the future it takes with it lessons of the past. Gun control is an issue that is not black and white. Those who oppose it do so for many reasons and those who support it claim to do so for the same. Gun control is not a one shot deal either. If gun control is enacted there are many options with which the bill can be written into law and fine-tuned for the individual needs or desires of that state. There will probably come a time in which the United States Supreme Court will have to decide what the constitutional authors meant when they penned the second amendment. Until then it is a stand still with both sides taking aim at the other."

James Rachels' "Killing and Letting Die", 2008.
Analyzes James Rachels' essay "Killing and Letting Die" about the ethical debate over whether it is worse to kill someone or let someone die.
1,335 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper, based on James Rachels' essay "Killing and Letting Die", explains that, although killing and letting someone die may be very different from some moral perspectives, from other viewpoints and in certain scenarios, they can be equivalent. The author uses examples from Rachels' essay to explore the issue of intentions and the concept of action versus inaction. The equivalence thesis, which implies that nothing separates killing and letting someone dies because both actions have the same consequence in that both persons end up dead, is evaluated and supported by the author.
From the Paper
"The reasoning Corrie ten Boom exercised was somewhat a combination of a few of the viewpoints that Rachels covered. What she did was refuse to reveal the name of a man (who would be killed if she spoke), but this man himself was responsible for many other deaths, and would continue to cause the killings of others. She felt that her revealing this man's name was an action equivalent to killing him, and it is from that that I will explain her view. She believed it was better not to kill this one man (by revealing his identity) than to save others."

Literature Analysis: "To Kill a Mockingbird", 2009.
A discussion of how Harper Lee uses symbolism in her novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" to show how socially unjust society can be to the innocent.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the symbolism of the title of Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird." The writer shows that there are many "mockingbirds" represented throughout this novel and numerous injustices against them. The writer examines several of Harper Lee's characters and demonstrates that they are all mockingbirds, who are either killing other mockingbirds or being brought down or killed by society.
From the Paper
"Like Atticus, Mayella Euwell is a very controversial symbol in this story. She is a mockingbird yet she kills another mockingbird. By jeopardizing someone else's innocence, one is being very unjust. Some would debate that she is more like a mockingbird's predator, yet it can be seen both ways. She wasn't the enemy in this situation; she is an innocent woman, pressured by her father to do the wrong thing. Her lying saved her father from the law and she from a beating. Mayella definitely is a victim and her father is certainly the predator."
