From the Paper
" This study will examine the experiences and discoveries of Matsuo Basho on his travels in The Narrow Road to the Deep North and Other Travel Sketches to determine how those experiences enriched his poetry. Basho was, at the time he first set out on his several travels, in the midst of an intensely spiritual time of self-examination. He was not merely traveling for pleasure or distraction from life's worries. To the contrary, he was seeking the ultimate truths of life.
Accordingly, the discoveries Basho made on his travels were serious and profound lessons about himself and nature. Basho is not writing a travelogue, but rather a portrait of his spiritual reality as it exists at the moment of writing each particular poem.
What Basho discovers again and again on his travels is that.."

Abstract
This essay discusses Buddhism by looking at Basho?s travel diary entries, or stations which contain a haiku poem . The writer reflects on the flashes of enlightenment, called kensho, which are intense forms of those everyday occurrences that surprise us because they seem to reveal a truth.
From the paper:
?Haiku is a momentary, condensed poetic form and its special quality is that it is perfectly adapted to give the reader that little instant of kensho insight. Each of Basho?s travel diary entries, or stations, contain a haiku poem, an enigmatic ?kensho.? Each haiku becomes a little burst of awakening.?

Abstract
In this essay, the writer describes road rage as uncontrolled anger that results in violence or threatened violence. The writer explores causes, effects and manifestations of "road rage" on America's roads today, including two very recent examples. Further, the writer analyzes ways of preventing, or at least decreasing, road rage incidents. The writer maintains that the best policy for avoiding road rage is to treat other drivers as one would like to be treated, i.e., with patience, consideration, and courtesy. The writer concludes that in order to best avoid becoming either a victim or a perpetrator of road rage, it is best to avoid conflict on the road, by giving other drivers both the benefit of the doubt and plenty of driving space.
From the Paper
"Effects of road rage incidents, for victims, may include severe injury or loss of life. Road rage perpetrators may not stop at mere gestures, verbal outbursts, or hostile gestures, but also maim or kill their victims. And, in general, the effect of so many well-publicized road rage incidents is to make many drivers increasingly edgy and afraid. Arguably, one possible benefit of road raged, however, is that many drivers are now making more effort to keep their emotions under control, and to refrain from behaving aggressively toward other drivers.
Increasingly, road rage incidents are well-publicized, especially if they involve public figures and/or fatalities. On November 29, 2005, for example, newspapers and internet sources reported that wrestler Ric Flair turned himself in to police to face road rage charges in Meckleburg County, North Carolina."

Abstract
In this article, the writer explores the various risk factors of road rage and supplies suggestions in how to reduce its incidence. The writer discusses that while road rage is a relatively new occurrence on today's highways, research is already under way to determine the risk factors involved so that plans can be made to educate people on how to reduce their chance of encountering road rage themselves. The writer argues that if the most common risk factors can be identified, then steps can be taken to help make the roads safer by knowing how not to incite an incident. The writer concludes that education regarding road rage incidents should be part of any driver education curriculum and that there should be public service announcements made regularly through the media.

Introduction
Road Rage
Risk Factors
Risk Factor Reduction
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Studies have indicated that there has been a significant increase in the number of road rage incidences within the past 15 years. Road rage is up 51 percent compared to what it was in 1990 and it doesn't appear to be slowing down according to all indications."
"Aggressive driving incidences are being reported daily. They range in severity from being cussed out on the road to being shot and everything in between. Over time people have reported being assaulted with golf clubs, baseball bats, tire irons, shotguns, handguns and other weapons as well as been dragged out of their car and physically assaulted for their failure to speed up, move over or get out of the way when another driver thought that they should."

Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken", 2002.
The paper presents an analysis of the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost.

Abstract
The paper begins by discussing the primary metaphor of the diverging roads and by giving an outline of the plot. It debates whether or not the road was really the road less traveled. The poet?s contradictions are pointed out and the poem?s tone is studied. The paper concludes by showing how the poem could be misleading.
From the Paper
"In Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken," there is no stable evidence that the speaker indeed chose "The Road Not Taken." Throughout the poem, the traveler himself is unable to identify with confidence which road was least taken. It is acknowledged that the two roads are almost the same. Yet the end of the poem contradicts the point that the roads were identical. In the future, he decides that the roads were in fact different."

Abstract
The paper looks at the quest theme in Jack Kerouac's influential beat generation novel, "On The Road." The paper explains the road trip as symbolic of the quest for identity and the automobile as the symbol of the new American mobility. The paper also notes the semi-autobiographical tone of the novel.
From the Paper
"A central and even dominant theme in Jack Kerouac's novel "On the Road" is the road trip as a symbolic and practical quest for identity, a quest that occupies the lives of Sal Paradise, the narrator and Dean Moriarty, the perpetual road tripper. As an influential member of the Beat generation of American writers, Kerouac used what appears to be a semi-autobiographical approach to his theme."

Abstract
This paper gives a personal account of incidents of road rage. The paper then discusses the growing epidemic of road rage in the United States and the effects that it has on individuals and driver safety in general. The paper discusses how road rage can be reduced on the roads by discussing the police's role and also the aims and successes of an organization called "Citizens against Speeding and Aggressive Driving".
From the Paper
"Road rage can take place anywhere you drive a motor vehicle. Parking lots, a drive-thru, such as at a bank or fast food restaurant, a red light, a highway during construction and just about any place you drive. Sometimes Road Rage is extended out of our cars and into the supermarkets, banks, local or department stores or just on the walk back to our cars. It's like a virus that is spreading like wild fire.

"The Road Not Taken".
A critical analysis of Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Robert Frost?s poem, ?The Road Not Taken?, which tells the story of a traveler making the decision to travel the road less traveled, but looking back upon the road not taken and wondering what might have been. It discusses how many people assume that the advantage lies in taking the road less traveled and relate this poem to personal hardships endured by taking this path. It shows how Mr. Frost comments on the tendency of humans to make decisions and how they consistently reflect upon and consider or wonder what might have been.
From the Paper
"It appears that this poem utilizes an ?abaab? pattern rhyming methodology. The repetition of accented vowel sounds can be found throughout the poem, such as in ?I took the one less traveled by? where ?I? and ?by? correspond to create a rhyming pattern. Some other rhyming patterns include how ?way leads onto way.? Rhyming occurs often at the ends of stanzas and lines as well. This helps the reader to continue through each line and stanza smoothly and mellifluously. Frost does not stick to conventional methods of rhyming and rhythm within this work, but rather mixes things up, perhaps to help the reader stay open minded and not favor one path versus another. There is not a great deal of alliteration or other repetitive sound patterns apparent within the poem."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the book "Tobacco Road," by Erskine Caldwell. Specifically, the writer discusses the author's life and its effect on his writing of "Tobacco Road". Further, the writer provides criticisms of the novel and looks at the novel's place in literary history. The writer notes that "Tobacco Road" is probably one of the most enduring glimpses into a tragic part of America's history that has ever been written. The writer explains that profiling a poor white family from Georgia, it encapsulates the poverty and hunger these people faced, while using dark humor and pathos to portray the tragedy of their lives, and the gradual decline of any decency in their spirit. The paper includes over 10 pages of copied critiques on this subject.

From the Paper
"It seems the only one with any sense at all in the family is Pearl, and she has enough sense to want to get out and go to Augusta. She is also the most unusual character in the novel - she never speaks, and refuses to sleep with her husband, Lov. Early in the novel, the reader discovers Jeeter is not her father, and this explains why she is different, and why she wants to leave the area. Everyone else in the novel seems a bit dazed by what happens around them, just as Lov is dazed when he loses the turnips. Caldwell gives a sense of unreality to the novel, as if things are happing around the characters, and they do not understand why they happen, or how everything relates to them and their lives. It is as if they are walking through life - seeing it but not really taking part.
"Jeeter uses his children to further himself, no matter how shocking this may be. He sold Pearl to Lov for seven dollars and some household items, and is absolutely enthralled with Ellie May's sexual seduction of Lov so Jeeter can grab the turnips. He also in effect sells his son Dude to Sister Bessie Rice for a car and the chance to get his firewood to market. Jeeter is always full of hope, but he is so scheming and lazy he can never get past the hoping stage."

Graph Theory and Road Redesign, 2004.
This paper explores the ways in which graph theory can be joined to computer simulation programs to make the planning stages of road redesign more efficient and more accurate.

Abstract
This paper explains that graphs allow for a simplification of the real world, doing away with extraneous details without sacrificing any information necessary for the task. The author points out that graph theory is the best tool to use to solve the problem of road conversion because it is the most parsimonious. The assumptions made by graph theory more closely than any other model or theory match the real-world conditions. The paper states that, in converting roads, the effect in the real world will be a disruption of what had been the shortest paths between different points, and urban planners will include some consideration of shortest path issues. Tables and figures.
Table of Contents
Introduction
Graph Theory as the Basis for Conversion of Two-Way Roads
Undirected Graphs to Digraphs
Reachability Problem
Shortest Path Problem
Importance of Simulation
Comment on Validity of Data
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The specific shortest path method that is most useful in this particular type of problem is Pallottino?s graph growth algorithm with two queues. It must be emphasized that the determination of the shortest path algorithms is perhaps the most important component of any network analysis. It is also quite often the first step in any network analysis as the determination of the shortest path is often needed as a key datum in making later choices."

Abstract
This paper explains that recent studies have associated positively DVT or deep vein thrombosis with internet usage, gaming and internet cafes, indicating that there might be severe risks associated with extended computer use without exercise. The author points out that deep vein thrombosis is generally caused by a thickening of blood in the veins, which can be life-threatening when a clot is formed that can travel to the heart or other vital organs. The paper states that the objectives of the study are (1) to ascertain the relationship of computer usage and the role that internet cafes play in the prevalence of deep vein thrombosis (2) to discover ways to alleviate and prevent DVT and (3) to take into account other variables, such as obesity, blood diseases that lead to clotting, smoking and a family history of DVT.
From the Paper
"This study is particularly pertinent to the Asian Internet cafes and community situation as countries like Korea have become the center of the online gaming community. "If Japan is the hub of the console industry, then neighboring South Korea is the hub of the online gaming industry - most notably, the massively multiplayer online gaming industry." In this regard Korea is known as the world's "most wired society" and the amount of tie spent on online gaming is very high, making it a country where rates of DVT can be expected to increase."

Road Rage as a Psychiatric Disorder, 2005.
A discussion on road rage can be considered a valid psychiatric disorder and the significance of this to the criminal justice arena.

Abstract
Road rage is a term that has been introduced into the English language not only in common speech, but also in legal, psychiatric and scientific circles. This paper discusses road rage and its definition. It explores why the concept has only recently emerged into the literature and questions whether it previously existed. It also discusses whether road rage can be regarded as a valid psychiatric syndrome by separating three schools of thought from the sea of varied opinions and to conclude it comments on its significance in a legal context.
From the Paper
"This first school believes that road rage is not a valid psychiatric syndrome and should not be defined under its own mental illness category. They attribute some of the cause of road rage towards America's gun policy. More and more Americans are carrying guns in their cars with one study showing a firearm was used in 37% of aggressive driving incidents involving weapons. This means encounters that may in the past have only resulted in angry gestures or even a fist fight, are now turning deadly and drawing even more media attention to 'road rage'. While Australia may enforce tougher firearms guidelines the influence of American media and culture on ours is high."
