Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in the late nineteenth century, the movement known as Neo-Impressionism was influential in French art circles. The writer points out that one of its most prominent figures was the pointillist, Georges Seurat and that in 1884, as he was developing the pointillist technique for which he is largely remembered, Seurat met Paul Signac. The writer discusses that although their personalities were different, the two collaborated, with Signac regarded as secondary: talented, but overshadowed by a genius. After adopting pointillism at the inspiration of Seurat, Signac refined his technique from the fluid style which drew inspiration from the subject matter, to a controlled and refined art. In addition, the writer notes that Signac was torn between technical craft and the political movements of his day. The writer maintains that in recent years, the art community has re-examined its assessment of Signac, finding that he deserves more than the very secondary position to which he has typically been relegated.
From the Paper
"While Signac accepted this view, Seurat did not adopt the anarchism that many Impressionists including Signac endorsed. In January 1886, Paul Alexis, a journalist and supporter of the writer Emile Zola, launched a subscription fund for the support of striking miners. Like Signac, Seurat had inherited a comfortable setting, and preferred the amenities that it provided. While he wanted more artistic freedom that the traditional ruling Salon would allow, he was not an anarchist. Seurat did not contribute to Alexis' subscription; Signac and Camille Pissarro did."
"Signac was very much aware of the complex of political currents stirring in France. After 1888, he studied the works of Elisee Reclus, Kropotkin and Jean Grave, and eventually fell into the anarchist camp at least philosophically. Despite this, he regarded himself primarily as a painter rather than a political figure, and expressed himself in paint."

Godwin's Anarchism, 2008.

Abstract
The paper discusses William Godwin's major work, "An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice", which is an early elucidation of the political theory of anarchism. The paper defines anarchism and then compares this work to Marx's "Capital" and "The Communist Manifesto". The paper explores why William Godwin's work has had less public exposure and popularity than either of Marx's works.
From the Paper
"While Karl Marx has become a famous thinker and philosopher through the wide dissemination of his two major works, Capital and The Communist Manifesto, a much lesser known figure has also contributed substantially to the perennial dialogue of radical political philosophies, and this man and his work is worthy of deeper analysis. This writer is William Godwin (1756-1836), who was nearly a contemporary of Marx and in his own way equally radical, yet significantly divergent in his thought. Godwin may be best known for having married the writer Mary Wollstonecraft, a groundbreaking feminist thinker in her own day, and for being the father of Mary Shelley of Frankenstein fame. Godwin's major work, An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice (1793) is an early elucidation of the political theory of anarchism, and is worth analyzing in terms of the similarities it shares with Marx's communism (Landry, para 16)."

Anarchism, 2003.
A brief introduction into the anarchist ideology and its relevance to the appreciation of political science.
1,602 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 9 sources, APA, $ 52.95

Abstract
This paper provides an introduction of the ideology of anarchism, where the government is typically perceived as evil as well as wholly unnecessary. It includes a background to the development of the theory and its main principles and assumptions. It also looks at a number of key examples throughout history such as Barcelona during the Spanish Civil war and the Paris Commune as well as the current standing of anarchism today.
From the Paper
"The individual within the Anarchism ideal is thus rational, but must also be to an extent compassionate, as Buchanan proposes in ?The Limits of Liberty? individuals should be ?dictated by mutual tolerance and respect?. So with this understanding of the individual within anarchic society as a basis, a perception of Anarchism can be developed. Anarchy is most often defined as the ?Lack of a centralized authority.? Government is typically perceived as evil as well as wholly unnecessary. This can often have negative connotations, suggesting a lack of social direction and stability. Yet as Herbert Read proposes in his script, ?Anarchy and Order?, anarchy ?is ambiguous ? for . . . ?without ruler?, the literal meaning of the root of the word, is not necessarily ?without order?, the meaning often loosely ascribed to it.?"

Diverse Methods of Pointillism, 2008.
A comparative analysis of the painting style of the pointillists George Pierre Seurat and Tim McWilliams.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Pointillism is often thought to be a relatively congruent painting style, utilized to create a sense of an object, often realistically without ever utilizing real forms and lines as a tool. This paper discusses how two accomplished pointillists, George Pierre Seurat and Tim McWilliams are far from contemporaries, as they are from two very different periods in two differing nations and how both embraced pointillism as their style of choice but with significant differences in style and completed results. By comparing the style and technique of Seurat's "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" (oil on canvas, 1884-1886) with McWilliams' "Chicago Skyrockets" (acrylic on canvas, 2004), it attempts to show how the artist's distinct characteristics become evident.
From the Paper
"In a play on Words McWilliams calls his art form, neo-pointillism, as he feels he embodies the neo-impressionist movement, with a whole new modern flair of the dot, utilizing the very recognizable imagery of modern artists such as those of Andy Warhol. Many of McWilliams works reflect the style of Warhol in content, as one of McWilliams's favored subjects are the faces of iconic figures, such as Elvis and Einstein and to a lesser degree the iconography of the Chicago skyline, as is seen in the work detailed here. As McWilliams is a contemporary working artist, there are only limited literary representations of analysis of his works. In a local newspaper an article that depicts the nature and inspiration of his admired works, Hostettler summarizes the manner in which McWilliams works. "I'm pushing it (pointillism) toward its limits with color use." McWilliams said. "My work has been influenced by so many things since then." McWilliams said "...About 15 colors, which are used straight from the tube for maximum potency, are blended onto the canvas to produce the painting." (Hostettler NP) "

Abstract
This paper presents an analysis of Paul's character in Willa Cather's "Paul's Case" by focusing on three of his attributes: 1) his tendency to be very self-oriented and separated from the others around him 2) his over-concern for all things that glitter and 3) his damaged psyche.
From the Paper
"In Willa Cather?s story ?Paul?s Case?, the character Paul embodied the Calvinist household in which he was raised in. Paul is a very self-oriented and introverted boy whose every action is designed and calculated to prevent others from seeing the real him. Paul is also a person who is overly concerned with money, wealth, and glamour; all which he believes will take him to the top and get him off Cordelia Street, which he despises with a passion. Paul is also under all of his mental armor, is scared, scarred and mentally damaged by his father and by his teachers so much that he can no longer go on living."

Abstract
This paper is about Emma Goldman and her various theories, political, societal and moral. It focuses on her forty years spent as an American, especially the years when she was an active member of the anarchist party. It details her involvement in the assassination of Henry Frick, and her accusal in the assassination of President McKinley. It also discusses how her divergent views involving feminism without suffrage, created isolation among politics that she lived with her entire life. Her involvement in the burgeoning sexual revolution and her persona as a figurehead of the atheists and a violent inciter is also expanded upon.
From the Paper
"Emma Goldman put very little worth upon the idea of government as a protector of the greater society. Emma Goldman rejected the idea that philosophy could ever be political and she spent her time and energy trying to defeat all types of organized government that she so detested. Her radical and uncompromising views on the nature of government left her without a political forum to embrace, and shaped her reaction to and participation in American anarchism? "

Messages from James and Paul, 2006.
This paper examines the different messages from James and Paul and Paul's ideas of resurrection.

»

Abstract
The paper discusses how the relatively short chapter of James, when compared to the longer writings of Paul to the Romans, appears to illustrate many dividing messages from the early church. The more prolific author, Paul, conveys a much more political agenda, speaking decisively regarding Jews, Gentiles and the Law, while James instead focuses on the importance of actions in faith, writing for "all God's people scattered over the whole world." The paper explains that as these two authors are writing for different audiences, they write with particular purposes. The paper discusses how the letter of James looks closely at specific practices of the Christian beliefs, illustrating how faith is meant to properly be put into action.

Pope John Paul II, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explores the life and many achievements of the head of the Catholic church, Pope John Paul II. Author Tad Szulc argues in his book "Pope John Paul II, The Biography" that despite a seemingly difficult life and an even more unlikely rise to power, Pope John Paul II played a large role in the collapse of European communism. This paper also details many interesting revelations and historical facts of Pope John Paul II's life.
From the Paper
"Pope John Paul II has never deviated form the rigid principle he set forth with the start of his papacy. He will not stand for any public dissent within the church on matters of Catholic morality, ethics, faith and interpretation. He subsequently banned all controversial theological debates, citing the old Roman adage, causa finita est, meaning, when Rome speaks the matter is closed. Although his appointment seemed a harsh reality, John Paul none the less took up an almost opposite stance when it came to the poor and oppressed, becoming a powerful advocate for third world nations."

Paul and Trevor, 2002.
A comparison of the characters Paul (from the short story "Paul's Case" by Willa Cather) and Trevor ("The Destructors"by Graham Greene).
1,081 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 37.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at two short stories - "Paul's Case" by Willa Cather and "The Destructors" by Graham Greene - and examines the contrasts and similarities between two of the main characters, Trevor and Paul.
The paper shows how both characters are rebels, although the way they rebel differs. It discusses how Trevor's is a physical rebellion, brought on by peer pressure and a need to destroy. Paul, on the other hand, rebels from the inside by way of outlandish clothes and mannerisms - as if to separate himself from the constricted society he finds himself in.
From the Paper
"Another difference is that Paul lives in fantasies, but Trevor does not. Paul sees the people of Cordelia street as unworthy of what he imagines himself to be and behaves sarcastically towards them, especially his teachers. He wears unbecoming clothes and loses attention to show that he does not belong there. But his rebellion exacts a much higher price in his mind, because he has no power to alter society without forfeiting something of magnitude ? his liberty or his life. Trevor?s ambition is only for the day and does not involve his entire existence."

Abstract
This paper looks at how the major difference between the Apostle Paul and the other apostles is that Paul had not known Jesus while he was on earth as the Son of God. It examines how Paul?s conversion occurred only after the Ascension and how this fact plays a prominent role in his teachings about Jesus and about the apocalypse. It discusses this aspect of Paul?s Christianity together with specific aspects of the apocalypse that Paul deals with in his writings. The three ages of the apocalypse as seen by Paul are also examined.
Outline
The End of the World (1 Cor. 15)
The Resurrection (1 Cor 15 continued)
The Restoration of the World (Romans 8)
The Coming of Christ (1 Thessalonians 4)
From the Paper
"First, the end of the world as depicted by Paul in his first epistle to the Corinthians (Chapter 15:20-28) is considered. This is a celebration of God, who will come and reign over everything and everyone. Secondly, and closely related to this is Paul?s view of the resurrection (1Cor15:20-28), during which the earth and human beings are made new to conform to the spiritual realm. Thirdly Paul?s description of the restoration of the world in Romans 8:18-25 is considered. Here the premise is the hope that every Christian lives in that the suffering experienced in the world will end in glory. Finally, the way in which Paul deals with the coming of Christ in his first epistle to the Thessalonians (Chapter 4:13-18) is considered. Here Paul continues the theme of hope in terms of being reunited with those who have passed away."

Abstract
This paper examines the life of the Apostle Paul. The paper provides a biography of Paul's life and discusses Paul's qualifications for the work which God called him to perform. The paper also discusses Paul's first, second and third mission within the timeline of his life.
Outline:
Introduction
His Life
Significance of Paul
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Paul has often been credited with making sure that the Christian faith became a universal faith. While there were many important names in the bible who helped to create the foundational universal nature of the Christian faith, Paul traveled the world to do it and the fact that he had been a rabbi gave his word a significant amount of creditability during the process. "
"Another contributor to the great significance that Apostle Paul had when it came to the Christian faith was his writing ability. While many of the Lord's followers were able to produce speeches and talks that were guided by the Lord, Paul had an extremely talented writing ability. This was during a time in which educated people who could write well were highly regarded, respected and revered. Paul was one of those people so much so that even from his house arrest status and his time in jail he was able to write down the things that he wanted the world to know about the Christian faith and have it spread in that manner .

Abstract
This essay is in the form of a letter from the Apostle Matthew to Paul. The letter cogently outlines Matthew's points of disagreement with Paul on issues of doctrine, practice and adherence to the laws according to the Old Testament.
From the Paper
"Dear Paul,
"I have come upon your letter written to the people of Galatia and I am appalled that you take the laws of the Torah so lightly. You claim that you received a revelation from Jesus Christ and are; therefore, an apostle of Jesus. How then could you have misunderstood the reason for his existence here on earth? You have stated, "A man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ" and that "by observing the law no one will be justified." You are preaching this to Gentile Christians, telling them they are not required to obey the Law of Moses. You do this because you believe Jesus came to abolish the Jewish laws, while the opposite is true."

"Epistles of Paul", 1990.
This paper examines the "Epistles of Paul" from the New Testament, arguing that Paul diverted dramatically from the teachings of Jesus Christ.

From the Paper
"This study will examine the Epistles of Paul from the New Testament, arguing that Paul diverted dramatically from the teachings of Jesus Christ and, as such critics as George Bernard Shaw and Frederick Nietzsche claim, in effect established a religion which is more "Pauline', than "Christian."
... the early Christians' lives were marked by two qualities more than any other; those qualities were mutual affection and joy. The early Christians, says Smith, were people who not only claimed that they had access to a loving God, they lived their lives as if it were true. Many people claimed such access to a god or God, but few seemed to truly have put their faith into action in dealing with other human beings on a daily basis, as had the early Christians."

Paul and Messiah, 2007.
An analysis of Paul's views of Julius Caesar, Roman rule and the identity of the true messiah.
1,011 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents Paul's view of Roman rule in light of his belief in Jesus and the Kingdom of God. The paper focuses on Paul's view of Julius Caesar, Rome rule, and Paul's religious beliefs. The writer explores Paul's letters to support the case that Paul did not agree with the idea of worshipping Caesar and did indeed consider Jesus to be the true messiah.
From the Paper
"With regards to the Roman rule Paul had issues with its foundation. At that time in world history Julius Cesar wanted to be worshipped as a God himself. He demanded complete loyalty and love from his subjects and he would not allow anyone to stray from worshipping him as he believed he should be worshipped. Paul denounced this demand as he believed that Jesus was the messiah and the one who should receive such divine and complete devotional worship from the people; Caesar was on his way to becoming the great divinity as a divine religion with him held as the messiah during the Greco-Roman Times."
