"UNFOCUSED THUNDER
Operation Rolling Thunder, 1965-1968
Operation Rolling Thunder was the code name given to American air operations over North Vietnam in the period beginning shortly after the Tonkin Gulf incident in early 1965 and ending with the start of the Paris peace talks in late 1968. (It must be emphasized that it does not include the Linebacker II bombing of Hanoi, which took place some four years after Rolling Thunder ended.)
Rolling Thunder was intended to achieve two objectives: to interdict the movement of troops and supplies from North Vietnam into South Vietnam, and to inflict punitive levels of damage on North Vietnam, both with the objective of compelling it to cease support for Communist forces within South Vietnam. Rolling Thunder was thus an ..."

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."

Abstract
This paper discusses the fan base of The Rolling Stones and how it relies on a cultural milieu of young and old fans that find rebellion important in their music. Although The Rolling Stones had emulated the counter-culture and violent street mentality for so many years, it is obvious the band still beholds a popular presence through the generations.
From the Paper
"This study will examine the band culture and fan base media perspective of the rock & roll band: The Rolling Stones. By critically evaluating how the lifestyles of the band members bring forth a music media culture, one can realize how hard living, drug addiction, and rebellion are the mainstay of The Rolling Stone fan base. In essence, rebellion and counter culture media perspectives are essential in realizing who and what this band represents in 20th and 21st century music history. The basis of fame within The Rolling Stones culture and through their fans is the sense of rebellion that their music embodies over a nearly 50-year span. In one instance, the issue with the Rolling Stones was to oppose the "good boy" image of the Beatles, their main competition during the 1960s. "

From the Paper
"This is accomplished by demonstrating that a sphere of mass m suspended on a ramp at a height h will have a gravitational potential energy Ug = mgh and that energy will be equal to the total kinetic energy EK = 7/10mv2, where v equals the final velocity of the sphere as it leaves the ramp. Therefore, the law of conservation of mass will be verified by demonstrating the following equation: Ug = mgh = EK = 7/10mv2.
The lab is an original comprehensive work with a full theoretical background of derived equations, and tables and graphs displaying all pertinent experimental data. Several illustrations are also used to convey the details of the experimental method."

From the Paper
"Two recent novels--Dogeaters by Jessica Hagedorn and Rolling the R's by R. Zamora Linmark--illuminate different aspects of the Filipino experience, the first set in Manila and so in the Filipino homeland, the second in Hawaii and so a reflection of the immigrant experience in America. Both works reflect the difficulty faced in the conflict between the old culture and the new. In both books, the older generation is tied to the culture of the Philippines while the younger generation is seduced by American popular culture. In Dogeaters, this conflict takes place in the Philippines as the powerhouse of American popular culture beckons to the young. In Rolling the R's, the conflict takes place in Hawaii as people who have immigrated form the Philippines are exposed even more directly to American life and culture. The themes of class conflicts, assimilation, and the.."

Abstract
This paper examines two episodes depicting injustice in Mildred D. Taylor's book "Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry" focusing on the characters involved.

From the Paper
"Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry is a story of the African American Logan family who live in the very segregated Southern USA during the 1930s. Cassie Logan tells the story, a very bright and proud nine or ten year old. She has a strong moral sense, and self-awareness that she gets from her close-tied family. The Logan family is a hardworking, loving family that has owned land for two generations landowners. They face much hardship and abuse solely on the fact that the color of their skin is black. Like many of their neighbors and friends they have to deal with bullying, often violent whites as well as the system, which is biased against them. However, because they own their land they are in a much better situation then most of their neighbors. There are many examples of injustice inflicted on the Logan family as well as other African Americans in the book. The two episodes chosen for this paper involve Cassie. Focusing on Cassie is important as not only is she the main character, but we also see the events through her eyes as she matures and learns about the full impact of racism. Although she does not quite understand race relations in the segregated south at the beginning of the book, by the end the experiences that she has been through teach her. Yet she remains strong and determined to fight. The first episode is in the beginning of the book, when the reader reads about the two different schools. The second episode is very personal for Cassie and takes place the very fist time she goes into the town of Strawberry."

Rock and Roll Film Genre, 1982.

From the Paper
"The rock and roll film came into being at the same time as the music began to make itself known. The use of "Rock Around the Clock" in The Blackboard Jungle was one of the first instances of this type of music serving as background to a film, though it was only used in the titles and was not embedded into the film itself in any significant degree. The music was popular, though, and within a short time films specifically about the music were being produced. The early films were primarily intended to assuage parental concerns, though they usually had an attitude of defiance as well. Over time, though, rock became more and more associated with the idea of the outlaw. Performers in the early films were clean-cut types trying to make a success with something new and innovative, but over time this image shifted to the musician as ... "

Rock-n-Roll History, 2005.
A comparison of today's rock-n-roll with the original rock-n-roll music.

Abstract
This paper compares the stars and music of today's rock-n-roll to the stars and music of yesterday's rock-n-roll. The paper points out that while early rock-n-roll music and its stars wrote and performed original music with social messages, today's rock-n-roll songs and performers are unoriginal and express no social consciousness.
From the Paper
"As a way of setting the cultural stage for the process of comparing and contrasting newer musical groups with older rock groups - since music reflects culture in the same way literature does - it is worth taking a look to see if "The Times (have been) A-Changin," (or how much they have been changing) as Bob Dylan wrote in the Sixties. The times have changed from yesterday's consistently progressive, liberal, and into social change activities, to today's more "party-oriented" young people who espouse a more conservative brand of politics and enjoy music that tends toward the predictable and bland."

Abstract
This essay examines the statement that rock and roll has closed the American mind and is complete lifeless dribble with no contribution to society. The rock and roll artist, Pink Floyd, is examined in order to refute this statement. The paper illustrates how Pink Floyd demonstrates with its down-to-earth lyrics that rock and roll can indeed make a significant contribution to culture and society.
From the Paper
"Beginning in the 1950?s and extending into the 1960?s, a new wave of music swept through the United States and Europe. This movement away from musical standards became known as rock ?n roll. By the end of the 1960?s rock had gained a strong foothold in the music industry. From its early days, critics have claimed rock ?n roll lacks substance and intellect. In his book, The Closing of the American Mind, Allan Bloom asserts that rock music is nothing more than ?junk food for the soul? (77). Although there may be some substance to Bloom?s argument, it is inaccurate to deem all rock music as garbage. Pink Floyd, a British band defies many of the rock ?n roll stereotypes outlined by Bloom. Though Bloom would clearly find the band questionable, their lyrics and behavior do serve to add a positive influence to society. This social significance is evident in their use of intellectual lyrics, their lack of sexual content, and their music?s connection to more classical styles."

From the Paper
"The longest and most important cultural expression in the United States today is rock music. The majority of music purchased in the United States is rock & roll. Although there are many memorable names and faces associated with rock, little is know about their origins and influences in modern music. Rock & roll has become a musical escape into a world where free expression and freedom of speech has become less of a fantasy and more of a reality. It?s like an incurable virus that enters by ear and circulates in the veins of a generation that has been oppressed and rejected for so many years. Within the text of the statements below lay the answers to the age-old question of the origin of rock & roll and what it has progressed into along the timeline of music."

Abstract
Over time, many musicians have shown us what good rock and roll music is all about. Musicians such as Elvis Presley (the king of rock and roll), Jim Morrison (lead singer and songwriter for the 'Doors'), and Kurt Cobain (musical genius from 'Nirvana'), are discussed in this paper to try and understand the fascination of rock and roll.
From the Paper
"Kurt Cobain was the lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana. He started the group with Krist Novoselic, a fellow punk rock devotee. They developed a style that became known as "Grunge Music". "It was a style that evolved as a reaction against the perceived superficiality of 1980s stadium rock and the over the top metal bands of the time" (5). Nirvana was an underground band with a devoted following. After four years of playing, the band just exploded into the mainstream. Cobain struggled with the band's success and felt the success was contradictory to their beliefs and what they stood for. The Nirvana song, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", became the anthem for Generation X. (3)"

Abstract
This paper provides a three-tiered analysis of the most important trends in art, music and literature since 1890. In the paper, Andy Warhol represents the important trend of pop art, the Rolling Stones represents the important trend of Rock 'n' Roll in popular music and finally, Ernest Hemingway represents the crucial trend of modernist literature in the 20th century. It shows how these trends are an important part of the cultural identity of the 20th century, which impart crucial influences as to how art, music and literature evolved in this time frame.
From the Paper
"The insanity and terror of war of this kind is the direct result of losing one's honor in a battle field that had little to do with chivalry and honor. Modernism reflects the reality and horror of war, as Hemingway clearly indicates in his response to coming home and telling his story to the local people in his town. In an age of machines and World Wars, Hemingway was a part of the important trend of literary Modernism, which provided the reality of war that counteracted the romanticism of war in the 19th century."
