Abstract
This paper examines one of Norman Rockwell's paintings, entitled "Missed!", which depicts young boys playing golf and missing a putt, as a way of demonstrating both the artisanship that defines Rockwell's work as well as the way in which his images help to create a sort of cultural map of many of the significant events and beliefs of American life in the 20th century.
From the Paper
"Norman Rockwell's work has for years been dismissed by art critics and cognoscenti as being egregiously overly sentimental as well as lacking in all of the nuance and ambiguity that are defining elements of high art in the post-Renaissance West. However, while there is certainly some merit in the former charge, a close examination of Rockwell's work reveals not only a high level of artisanship, something that even his critics admit to being present in his work but also the kind of..."

Abstract
The preservation of historic sites and of vintage architecture has become a major focus for many in the contemporary period. Different theorists have addressed this issue as they have also sought to motivate the movement for the preservation of the worthy and the important. This paper examines how two such theorists with somewhat different approaches to the subject are William Sumner Appleton and Norman Morrison Isham, both of whom left writings on the subject as well as took action in furtherance of their goals and their idea of the need for preservation.
From the Paper
"William Sumner Appleton lived at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries in the Boston area, where at the time, preservation was maturing from a string of spontaneous efforts to an institutionalized movement. As this took place, both the aims of preservation aims and its methods were transformed, a process in which Appleton played a key role. In the nineteenth century, Boston did not have an organization dedicated to preservation as such. The Bostonian Society was meant to be such an organization, but the group seemed to be satisfied by the single project of looking after the Old State House. The Trustees of Reservations was also nominally interested in historic structures, but in practice the group refused to accept any such structures for years because they had no means of maintaining them.

The Norman Conquest, 2003.
A discussion on how and why the Normans sought to justify their conquest of England.
1,915 words (approx. 7.7 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 61.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the concept of nationalism in England in 1066, English unity, social make-up and the ferocity of their opposition to the invaders. It looks at how the Normans attempted to justify their conquest of England and, in particular, why. It examines how the ?rightful claimant to the throne? needed to put such an emphasis on the justification of the conquest. It looks at how William of Normandy held a strong claim to the English throne and how the Norman use of propaganda and their emphasis on the ?will of God? suggests there was a seed of doubt somewhere in the Norman establishment concerning legitimacy.
From the Paper
"To understand the Norman efforts to justify the conquest it is important to understand the nature of Anglo-Saxon England. How was Duke William of Normandy received? Did he face opposition because he was a foreigner or was it purely political? Anne Williams? provides an insight into English society much earlier than 1066, suggesting that the ?emergence of Englishness? began as early as the 7th century . However, such an expression gives little more than a hint as to how developed and patriotic a society England was in the 11th century. The existence of patriotism in England is hard to identify in this period. Overseas invasions were not uncommon and it was only twenty-four years earlier that the Danish dynasty of Cnut had ruled."

Abstract
This paper describes the theme in the book, "A River Runs through It", about art and its importance in our lives and the way the author, Norman Maclean, combines the sport of fly-fishing with this theme as a way of explaining what art means and how it differs from mere competence.
From the Paper
"Norman?s father who was a Presbyterian minister believed that art was ?one? way man could clearly understand God and His creation. He advocated creativity because for Norman?s father, art was the channel man used to communicate with God and to become a part of His wide universe. In short, it was not competence but mastery of art that helped man establish a direct link with the wider world around him and Art was man?s way of showing appreciation for God?s universe. This is the reason why Norman?s father tells him to create stories because he knows that this is one art form that will bring his son closer to God and nature."

From the Paper
"Sam Croft in Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead and Mike Hammer in Mickey Spillane's I, The Jury are both macho characters, but there are great differences between the two. Croft is a sadistic man without a heart while Hammer is simply a man who can be tough when he needs to be, but can also be gentle and loving. This study will show that Mailer has created an evil and violent fascist in Croft, while Spillane has created in Hammer a hard-nosed private detective with a heart. Croft is out to do damage wherever he can, while Hammer is out to serve justice, especially in terms of avenging his cruelly murdered friend Jack Williams. Hammer is shown to care about other people
---including the person who murdered his friend, while Croft cares about nothing and nobody but himself.
Mickey Spillane leaves no doubt in the reader's head that..."

?The Missing Link?, 2002.
A review of Pat Choate?s article ?The Missing Link? on how education can solve the fundamental problems of the U.S. economy.
986 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Pat Choate?s article ?The Missing Link? which celebrates the collaboration between educational institutions and businesses as a solution to America?s economic difficulties. It discusses how Choate views schools and human beings as an economic investment that is vital for the U.S. to stay competitive in all areas as well as evaluating the failure of U.S. policymakers to invest in human resources for the advancement of its economy. It highlights various successful collaborations between the American education system and industries with government assistance in the domains of research, technology transfer and economic development.
From the Paper
"Even though Choate?s view of the importance of education in the U.S. economy is valid, she fails to take into account other justifications for the existence of schools. In fact, her stance represents one school of thought about the role of schools. Like Choate, there are educators who believe that schools justify their existence in society by supplying training to workers or professionals and promoting economic growth in collaboration projects (Cohen & Brawer, 1996, p. 236). However, schools also have a higher social function of infusing students with ethics and morals, which are neglected in the economic realm (Cohen & Brawer, 1996, p. 235). These components are also integral elements of a school education that produces people who will not be governed solely by their profit motive."

"Missing Sarah", 2008.
A comparative analysis of the characters of Maggie and Sarah in Maggie de Vries' "Missing Sarah: A Vancouver Woman Remembers Her Vanished Sister".
1,562 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 51.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper first asserts that Maggie de Vries' "Missing Sarah" is a moving memoir of the author's relationship with her adopted sister. The paper also relates that the book was written in the shadow of the author's awareness of her sister's murder at the hands of a notorious Canadian mass murderer. The paper goes focuses on the narrative roles of the created characters of "Maggie" and "Sarah" in the text and argues the thesis that the disparity in our knowledge of the two characters - with the figure of the author being represented far more elusively than that of her sister - is a result of the different manifestations of narrative gaze within the text. The paper maintains that these gazes have narrative power to shape the spectator's perspective and understanding of the complex issues of identity, race, and familial interactions that define the text.
From the Paper
"It may be argued that one reason we know so little about "Maggie" in the text as opposed to "Sarah" - a fact that is extraordinary given that "Maggie" is "Sarah's" sister - is the possibility that the relationship between the siblings was defined by tensions that the author does not wish to revisit. Thus, the author - through the vehicle of the "unreliable narrator" - obscures the figure of "Maggie" in the text, and thereby avoids having to publicly discuss issues that may be emotionally unsettling to her. Thus, it is only at moments that the reader seems to catch glimpses of this tension; moments that seem to be revealed almost unconsciously by the author. "
