Abstract
This paper examines the Pearl Drum Company, which began in Japan in April 1946, initially as a manufacturer of music stands and, eventually, as a producer of bass and snare drums and stands. It looks at how Pearl drums are created to be a product that consumers will be proud to purchase and the importance to the company that musicians want to be associated with them. It looks at how they focus strongly on producing quality products and on being perceived as one of the best companies in the industry. It also shows how they also focus on creating an image for the company that matches what musicians are looking for, an image of success, and an image closely linked with the high energy world of the music industry.
From the Paper
"The Pearl Drum Company has also been aware that the best option for promoting their products is to have significant bands using them. This has resulted in the company supporting and sponsoring various bands and musicians. When these bands are successful, the Pearl name is effectively promoted. For the average consumer, they might see the Pearl name on the drum set at a concert or on a film clip. This is an effective promotional option from Pearl, and one that costs less than actually creating advertisements. In addition, Pearl also reaches the market of musicians and drummers by this method. In the music industry, it is often known which brand of drums musicians use. The Pearl Drum Company supporting a drummer who is respected by other drummers is an effective promotional strategy."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The attack by Japan on Pearl Harbor and the attacks by Al Qaeda on September 11 had many similarities. Some of these similarities have been presented in this paper. However, several more situations of contrasts are likely amid the attack on Pearl Harbor and the attack on September 11. In the Second World War, at Pearl Harbor, the American military under President Roosevelt had blocked approximately 8 percent of the Japanese force from either fulfilling its vicious objectives or retreating back to Japan. During the attacks on the September 11, airplane travelers prevented 25 percent of the Al Qaeda force from fulfilling its evil designs, avoiding an American icon from stern harm or complete obliteration. American intelligence agencies gave out a warning for war prior to the attack on the Pearl Harbor in the Second World War, and the American military had been able to counter the opponent. However, on September 11, intelligence agencies did report of likely terrorization attempts by Al Qaeda terrorist but these reports had not been converted into a forceful caution under President Bush, and the American military had been unsuccessful in getting in the way of the suicidal operation of Al Qaeda."

Abstract
The writer of this paper provides a brief summary of the plot of the story and examines the characters in the context of the theme "good versus evil". It focuses on the characters of the doctor, the priest and the beggars in the story, and how they react to the finding of the pearl by Kino. The pearl represents all things good, as seen by Kino and his life of poverty is bad. This all changes as the story progresses.
From the Paper
"The Pearl is a short novel or a parable by the famous Nobel Prize winning American author, John Steinbeck. It was first published in 1945. Critics as well as ordinary readers over the years have examined John Steinbeck?s writings from different angles?each having found divergent meanings in them. This is probably due to the underlying paradox in Steinbeck?s writings, The Pearl being no exception. In The Pearl Steinbeck tells the story of a poor Mexican-Indian fisherman (Kino) who finds a very large pearl (?The Pearl of the World?) that is apparently Kino?s ticket of deliverance from his life of abject poverty and deprivation, but which actually brings him even greater harm. One of the morals of the story is the virtue in the poor man?s struggle against the forces of injustice and exploitation. The paradox is the apparent futility of the struggle."

The Lesser of Two Evils: Why FDR Set Up Pearl Harbor, 2001.

Abstract
This paper explains how Franklin Roosevelt used the US fleet at Pearl Harbor to lure the Japanese away from attacking the Soviet Union and creating a second front against the Soviets which would have made it impossible for them to defend against Nazi Germany.
From the paper:
"After sixty years, the attack on Pearl Harbor still raises serious debate. Despite the common image of an insidious Japanese assault launched against the unwitting American Navy, there is evidence, as presented in class that the infamy of Pearl Harbor actually began long before December 7, 1941. This evidence suggests that Franklin Roosevelt set Pearl Harbor up as a target and enticed the Japanese to attack there."

The Steel Drum, 2005.
An examination of the musical instrument known as the steel drum.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The steel drum, or steel pan, is a unique instrument commonly heard in Caribbean music today, and is one of the most recently "invented" instruments in the world, when taken in its current form. However, the roots of the instrument date as far back as the 18th century. This paper examines the roots of the steel drum, as well as the evolution of the instrument its self. Additionally, this paper examines the steel drum's impact on the Trinidad society.
From the Paper
"The steel drum claims origin on the island of Trinidad, located in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Venezuela. This island and the smaller island of Tobago, located 19 miles northeast of Trinidad, make up the single nation state of Trinidad and Tobago. To understand the evolution of the steel drum in this area, it is important to evaluate the political history of the islands, since it was that very political situation which helped the area to develop the instrument (Goddard, 1991).

Abstract
This paper looks at how Chaucer and the Pearl Poet before him, create and make ample use of, a type of literary paean that facilitates a figurative movement from the temporal to the celestial. Emphasis is given to Chaucer's "Parliament of Fowles", the "Duchess", et al., and to the "Pearl" and "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by the Pearl Poet." It also looks at how this thematic construction proposes a bifurcated paradigm of the universe to mimic the heaven/earth continuum.
From the Paper
"Chaucer and the Pearl Poet before him, create, and make ample use of, a type of literary paean that facilitates a figurative movement from the temporal to the celestial. This construct, typified in the prologue format, consisting of both textual introduction and, in some cases, definitive invocations, is a preamble illustrative of the dichotomy of heaven and earth, and in others, indicative of one or the other. The end result being, that Chaucer and the Pearl Poet have created, textually, metaphorically, and figuratively, a celestial model that is meant to be both didactic and entertaining. "

John Steinbeck's "The Pearl", 2006.

Abstract
This paper summarizes the plot of John Steinbeck's famous novel, "The Pearl" and then goes on to analyze the theme of the story. The paper explains that the pearl, instead of being symbolic of hope, purity and goodness as pearls usually are, represents man's greed and his need to overreach the simple pleasures that life brings in the hopes of having what others seek.
From the Paper
"John Steinbeck's The Pearl, loosely based on an old Mexican folk tale, is the story of how one man's life is tragically transformed after discovering "the greatest pearl in the world." Before finding the pearl, Kino's existence is hardly luxurious, but neither is it unhappy. He is young and strong and has all he needs: a fine canoe passed down from his grandfather, respect from his community; and the love of his brother. His most valued possession is his family - his devoted wife Juana, and his infant son, Coyotito. Together he and Juana sing the Song of the Family which rises to "an aching chord that caught the throat, saying this is safety, this is warmth, this is the Whole." This peaceful happiness is disturbed early in the story when a scorpion stings Coyotito, and his wife suggests they take him to the doctor in the city."

Abstract
This paper examines the events surrounding the attack of Pearl Harbor. It focuses on why the attack at Pearl Harbor was not prevented and why the leaders of the United States, approached the situation the way they did. The paper evaluates whether the attack and its outcomes were due to poor intelligence or poor military leadership.
From the Paper
"Roosevelt claimed that December 7 was a day that would live in infamy. However, it seems that two men, not one day, have lived in infamy. Is the blame put on Rear Adm. Kimmel and Maj. Gen. Short, the two commanders of Pearl Harbor at the time of the attack, justified? As with any story in history, this tale has at least two sides. In the pre-WW2 military world, issues were handed down from the very top, all the way to the bottom, and without the technology we have today, sometimes messages were delayed. However, many claim that the United States military was warned in enough time to counter the attack. After careful research, one can conclude that the tremendous damage done to Pearl Harbor is a result of intelligence failure and lack of urgency by the military and President Roosevelt."

Chaucer and the Pearl Poet, 2005.
A comparative analysis of the views on religion of Geoffrey Chaucer and the Pearl poet.

Abstract
This paper compares Chaucer and the Pearl poet in terms of religious expression and secular elements, showing that the two reflect some of the same themes and concerns about society. It looks at how Chaucer is more openly critical of the way the clergy of his time behaves, while the Pearl poet is more concerned with teaching moral lessons and showing the value of religious belief.
From the Paper
"Critics regard Geoffrey Chaucer as a secular poet, while the Pearl poet is seen primarily as a religious one reflecting the view of Christianity. In fact, though, the two poets are much closer together than this might suggest and address many of the same issues, same types of stories, and same concerns from differing points of view. If critics find Chaucer more secular, that may be because his vision reflects more of the reality of the world around him, so that he shows people with all their passions and faults, while the Pearl poet tends more toward idealized visions of moral attitudes and concepts of honor."

Abstract
This paper proves the thesis that John Steinbeck uses "The Pearl" to ?brilliantly alert us to social and economic dangers and expose mankind?s...faults and failures?. This paper has references to the book "The Pearl", as well as two critics.
From the Paper
"In the society where the villagers live most of them are very poor and do not have the money to take care of themselves or their family. The people in this society who have money feel that they are superior to the rest of the people living in the same village. One of the people that feel this way is the doctor. In this type of society, if people have money then they hold more power within the society. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer examines the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The writer discusses details of the battle and looks at various reasons for the assault. Further, the writer discusses the related political and economic developments involving Japan and the United States. The writer maintains that it could be concluded that whatever were the factors responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbor, the attack gets its significance due to the lead that it gave to the other important events in the Second World War. A few of such events were the participation of America in World War Two and the US attack on Hiroshima.
From the Paper
"Commander Mitsuo Fuchida acted as the leader of the air offensive. In the first batch of aircrafts that were sent comprised of 183 fighters, bomber and torpedo bombers. The assault began at 07.55 hours. In the second phase there were 170 aircrafts, which started attacking Pearl Harbor at 08:54 a.m. The planes took off from the aircraft carriers Soryu, Akaga, Zukaku, Hiryu, Kaga and Shokaku. At the time when the war came to an end, all the six aircraft carriers had been sunk by the American soldiers together with all the other Japanese capital ships engaged in the assault. In the first attack the pilots used a mast of a radio station close to the Pearl Harbor to zero in. Among those killed in the first phase were 35 American servicemen who were taking their breakfast in the Army Air Forces Hickam field when a 550lb bomb attacked their Dining Hall. And the USS Arizona was the first to suffer the most seriously. One torpedo and eight bombs attacked her. About 1760 lbs of explosives hit her as she lay fastened at the Ford Island Naval Station."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss and analyze the book "The Tin Drum" by Gunter Grass. Specifically, the paper focuses on two particular chapters. Firstly, Chapter 27 (Inspection of Concrete, or Barbaric, Mystical, Bored), and Chapter 28 (The Imitation of Christ). Gunter Grass' "The Tin Drum" is an historic look at a Polish family with a young son stunted by an accident. Oskar turns out to be a performing midget, who is ludicrous and yet endearing. The writer claims that the themes of the book are complex and the style is demanding, but it is a rewarding read that causes the reader to think, to feel, and to sometimes agree with the author's clearly defined themes.
From the Paper
"Chapter 27 of "The Tin Drum" is entitled "Inspection of Concrete, or Barbaric, Mystical, Bored," and in it, Oskar's theatre troop inspects several German concrete bunkers along the Atlantic Wall. During their visit, the groups inspects the fine concrete of the bunkers, (inlaid with shells from the nearby beaches), and discovers one of the soldiers was an artist before the war. The artist, named Lankes, titles one of his "Oblique Formations" (pillboxes) "Barbaric, Mystical, Bored" (Grass 337), and the troupe leader Bebra replies, "You have given our century its name" (Grass 337). Grass uses the pillboxes as an art form to signify the sheer waste of war."
