"Yet groundbreaking work in this field, particularly in the study of other species, can teach us not only about the habits and idiosyncrasies of the species in question, but also a great deal about our own misconceptions and where they come from. Author Farley Mowat, in Never Cry Wolf, offers as much a provocative understanding of wolves as of human nature."

"Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat is a book that takes a young scientist and places him in the wild, where he has to develop a new conception of and relationship to the environment.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the books "Man's Search For Meaning" by Viktor Frankl and "Warriors Don't Cry" by Melba Pattillo Beals are comparable on many levels. It looks at how both deal with oppression of a group of people because of religious and/or ethnic differences. It examines how Frankl's novel is a recollection of his experiences in the Nazi Death Camps during World War II, and how he found a way to survive not only physically, but mentally as well. It also looks at how "Warriors Don't Cry" is about Beals' experience as one of nine black children to be integrated into Central High School in 1957 and the persecution that she and her fellow classmates faced.
From the Paper
"When the school year ended for Melba, as well as when the prisoners were liberated from the camps, happiness was not all of the sudden restored, but it was an emotion that had to be relearned in both situations. On page 310 in Warriors Don't Cry, Beals states, "It would take years of sorting out my Central High experience before the pieces of my life puzzle would come together and I could make sense of what happened to me". The trauma that Melba and her fellow black peers had experienced robbed them of all emotion that could be connected to the situation. In order to stop the pain, they blocked out feeling all together.

Abstract
This paper presents a review of Alan's Paton's novel, "Cry, the Beloved Country". The paper explores the relationship between James and Stephen, who experience life-altering changes through their friendship and the lives of their sons. This paper compares their experiences, as well as how those experiences helped them become men of great character.
From the Paper
"Many important factors prevented James from becoming a racist and instead propelled him to become a proponent for the situation of blacks in South Africa. First, James discovers his son by discovering what he believed. Secondly, the contact that James has with Stephen once the two elderly men finally meet. Thirdly, James? interaction with black people has a meaningful impact on his life. For example, by going to a church service with blacks, James comes to understand that whites and blacks worship the same God, which was one of the things his son tried to teach others. These events lead him to on a path that opens his eyes, so to speak."

Abstract
This paper examines the novel ?Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry", set in the 1930?s in Mississippi. It looks at how in the novel, the action is seen through the eyes of Cassie, a young, naive black girl. It discusses how the novel is semi-autobiographic and how it shows us the different lives of black and white people, in terms of education, at home and how black people are treated. In particular, it analyses Cassie's visit to Strawberry with Big Ma where she experiences prejudice and discrination in many events such as setting up the stall, the Barnet store, Lillian Jean and Big Ma's betrayal and many other significant events.
From the Paper
"The place where Cassie lives is an effective device for telling the story because it helps Cassie to grow up quickly and realise the society she lives in is really like. Because Cassie is young, it is interesting to see how she reacts to racist situations, which she has never experienced before. Racism is a big factor in the novel, which Cassie learns to accept through a number of experiences. At the beginning of the chapter, Cassie is feeling excited and looking forward to seeing Strawberry. At the end of the chapter she is feeling angry, humiliated and betrayed by Big Ma because of what happened. Throughout the chapter, things become worse for Cassie. However, she learns from her experiences and she shows her bravery and she even teaches Lillian Jean a lesson, by getting her revenge."

"Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era", 2002.
An analysis of James M. McPherson's "Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era".

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the central idea of "Battle Cry of Freedom" that both the North and the South felt that they were each fighting for freedom. The South held fast to the notion of states? rights. For the Confederate apologist, true freedom included autonomy, self-government, and self-determination. Confederates were opposed to any imposition placed on them by the increasingly industrial North and the federal government that restricted their rights and freedoms as plantation owners.
From the Paper
"McPherson reminds his readers that more Americans lost their lives during the War of Secession than ?in all of the country?s other wars combined,? (viii). The scope and magnitude of the Civil War has not been underestimated by historians, but the intricate set of circumstances that led up to the first shot fired at Fort Sumter remain confounded and complicated. McPherson traces the origins of the conflict to the Mexican War in the mid-nineteenth century. Here, McPherson finds in the Mexican War the beginnings of a rift in the political landscape of America. Not only were new territories gained during this period, but new mindsets were formed and established. Manifest Destiny was for all Americans, but McPherson finds that the particular vision of the manifestation of that destiny differed depending on which side of the Mason-Dixon Line one lived. McPherson?s treatment of this early rift in American consciousness is brief but poignant, as the author leads his readers straight into the meat of the matter by Chapter One."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the film "Boys Don't Cry" created in 1999, which explores how we identify gender and differentiate between the masculine and the feminine. The paper describes the story of the female Teena Brandon who masquerades herself as the male Brandon Teena. It illustrates visually that identity as male and female actually involves only a relative few visual and aural cues. The author writes that society does not tolerate that much freedom and that those who step too far outside the gender boundaries society has set are destroyed. The paper demonstrates how gender is not the only issue being tested in this film, for ideas about small towns, tolerance, and the threat of the outsider are also examined.
From the Paper
"The film Boys Don't Cry (1999, Kimberly Peirce) is based on a true story and raises numerous real-world issues in its story of a murder case in middle America in which the victim was a girl who successfully passed herself off as a boy. The film delves into gender issues, questions of identity, and the ethics of interpersonal relationships. First, the viewer asks why so many people were fooled for such a long time by this masquerade."

Abstract
May 17, 1994, marks the fortieth anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling, which was argued and won by Thurgood Marshall, whose passion and presence emboldened the Little Rock struggle. The paper examines Melba Patillo Beals commemoration of the milestone decision in her first-person account of the violent confrontation that helped shape the civil rights movement. In "Warriors Don't Cry" by Melba Patillo Beals, Beals? depiction of racism in Little Rock, Arkansas, reveals that she was not only a student during the Civil Rights Movement but also had to be a warrior who fought against segregation in the South. By examining Beals' memoirs, the paper shows how her real life experiences, particularly her experiences with desegregation, closely approximate the idea of a warrior.
From the Paper
"In the beginning, the element of the warrior in Beals is directly related to the desegregation of her high school in Little Rock, Arkansas. In the book, there were two things that saved Beal when she walked in Little Rock High. One was the landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling, Brown v. Board of Education, which "brought the promise of integration to Little Rock, Arkansas"(55). Yet, the ruling only paved the way for integration, the real battle was hard-won for the nine black teenagers chosen to be the front line in the desegregation of Central High School in 1957. These teenagers had to fight a battle that was both civil and governmental, fighting against a rampaging mob and the heavily armed Arkansas National Guard, dispatched by Governor Orval Faubus to subvert federal law and bar them from entering the school. The second thing that saved her was when President Dwight D. Eisenhower responded, "by sending in soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division, the elite "Screaming Eagles,"(177) which transformed Melba Patillo Beals and her eight friends into reluctant warriors on the battlefield of civil rights."

Kumalo fears this place because he is uneducated in the ways of the world outside Ndotsheni. The passage describes Kumalo?s understanding of the larger picture of South Africa; he begins to change from a na?ve child into a wise adult. At first Kumalo was in awe of the city?s neon lights, then he was confused by the people and their journey to the ?underworld.? In the end of the passage, Paton establishes Kumalo as a child who clings to his faith."

Abstract
This paper looks at the book "Warriors Don't Cry" which is the story of a young African American child who was one of the first who forced racial integration into the Little Rock school system. The writer analyzes how the book, which is written through the eyes of a child, helps people realize the stupidity of their bigotry.
From the paper:
"?We are not these bodies, we are spirits, God?s ideas,? Grandma India explained to Melba Pattillo Beals one afternoon as they tended Grandma?s garden of four-o?clocks. ?You don?t want to be white, what you really want is to be free, and freedom is a state of mind? (6). It was perhaps those words of wisdom spoken to a child only six years of age that helped create the courage that would one day be needed by Melba to fulfill her destiny. Melba Pattillo would, ten years later, be among the first Black children to attend and help integrate Little Rock?s previously all-White Central High School."
