From the Paper
"The plight of the Native American in today?s society is compelling to consider; it is a struggle that is universally recognized, and yet is also universally misunderstood. As is true with all ethnic groups, there exists within the Native American community a multiplicity of traditions, ethics, and cultures: the ?Native American? clan is the sum of many radically differing parts. In Andrew Garrod and Colleen Larimore?s collection, First Person, First Peoples, a host of Native American graduates of Dartmouth College contribute autobiographies detailing their personal experiences in a predominantly white, upscale institution such as the Ivy League. In offering the reader a portfolio of writers with which to become acquainted, Garrod and Larimore take an important step in clarifying some of the many distinctions that shape the Native..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the life and works of Andre Derain, who was one of the most interesting artists of the 20th century. The paper discusses Derain's various painting styles, but describes him as best known as one of the fathers of fauvism, which was the first movement of the modern period which developed in France. The paper specifically focuses on analyzing his artwork entitled "Charing Cross Bridge."
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Charing Cross Bridge
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The abandoning of more traditional modes of painting is extremely evident in this painting. The photographic quality that is often scene in landscape paintings is not present. In addition, Derain uses extremely vivid colors and the colors have very little variation (light and dark shades). Instead Derain uses flat color. At the time this was a very revolutionary form of painting. Indeed Bazin et al explains that most of the fauvists including Derain were often confronted with bourgeois conformity or the tutelage of younger artists (Bazin et al). However they displayed a type of progressive freedom in the way they carried themselves and how they spoke (Bazin et al)."

Abstract
This is a compare/contrast essay. It compares Dave from Richard Wright's "The Man who was Almost a Man" and Andre Dubus from "Giving up the gun". It shows that their experiences with guns were very similar despite the great differences in their background and upbringing. Their motives for the use of the gun, however, were far apart.
From the Paper
"Another important difference between the two characters is in their goals for having a gun. Dave wants to be a man. Because he has a job and earns his own money, he considers himself a man. Even though he is seventeen, his parents still treat him as a little boy. He can't even manage his money. Not only Dave's parents, but his neighbors treat him as a little boy. He sees that almost every man in the village has a gun. He believes that owning a gun will bring him some respect that Dave has never gotten from anyone. He dreams to get one and practice shooting. He asks his mother: "Ma, ef yuh lemme buy one Ah'll never ask yoh fer nothing no mo" (Wright 388). Dave believes that the only way to prove himself as a man is to get a gun. On the other hand, he is not planning on a very dangerous action. After buying the gun from Mr.
Hawkins, Dave does not bring it to his mother as she had told; "instead he had stayed out in the fields, holding the weapon in his hand, aiming it now and then at some imaginary foe…" ( 389). Without realizing that he could hurt someone he kills a mule. Because of this accident he will never get respect from people in his community"

The Photography of Andre Kertesz, 2005.
A reaction to the photography of Andre Kertesz.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper is a visceral and historical reaction to the photographic work of Andre Kertesz, a Hungarian born photographer born in 1894. The paper traces Kertesz's historical development as an artist, discusses some of the more general points regarding his significance to the history of photography, and presents and examines three of his photographs.
From the Paper
"Perhaps what is most striking about the photography of Andrew Kertesz - all shot in black and white - is how familiar it all seems, even if one has never heard of Kertesz before. Andre Kertesz was born in 1894 and died ninety-one years later in 1985. He took his first shots as a photographer in 1912 at the Budapest stock exchange where he worked as a clerk with a camera that his mother gave him ("Andre Kertesz" par. 1-3). This was the beginning of a career in photography that would span decades and leave the world with a photographic legacy that is powerful, emotional, and seemingly ubiquitous. Once Kertesz had his first camera, it became a semi-permanent part of his own body. He took it nearly everywhere."

"Killings" by Andre Dubus, 2002.
This paper looks at the play "Killings" by Andre Dubus, focusing on the way in which Dubus has inserted his own point of view about murder.

Abstract
The writer interprets the stylistic elements in Dubus' writing that reveal his position about the social and individual consequences of murder. According to the paper, this is done through the title, plot, and the characters of the play which strengthen the connection between the story and its reader.
From the Paper
"The play?s title also points to the suffering of Frank?s loved ones. The victim?s death was so disturbing for his parents that the father?s heart was dying to kill Strout. Matt tells his friend ?(Ruth) can?t even go out for cigarettes and aspirin? without seeing Strout, ?it?s killing her? (Dubus 64). The constant daydreaming of Frank?s murder killed Matt and Ruth from inside until they took out their revenge on Strout and calmed their emotions. Simultaneously, the playwright also reflects through the thoughts of Matt Fowler, how the loved ones of Richard Strout would be killed inside by his murder. Thus, the writer builds on a deeper meaning for the play?s title by depicting how the emotions of families are killed on the deaths of their beloveds."

"Man's Fate" by Andre Malraux, 1993.
A look at the existentialist themes, politics, characters' alienation and death.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"The underlying thematic structure of Andr? Malraux's novel Man's Fate (which could be more expansively translated as "The Human Condition") sees the destiny of humankind in political action. The novel expresses an existentialist position that mirrors ideas later developed by Camus and Sartre concerning the position of the human being in the scheme of things and the meaning of life that can be derived from that relationship. In the existentialist view, people are ridiculous because they must die. No matter what they do or how they live, death is the ending. All men and women live with this knowledge. This is the fate of humankind as reflected in the title.
It is easy to see this fact operating in the novel--death infuses the action of the novel. The story begins and ends with a murder. Most of the characters die, and they tend to die..."

"What is Cinema?" ( Andre Bazin ), 1993.
Author's views on photography, realism, critical views on films & directors.

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Andre Bazin's concept of realism varied from a mere appreciation of the medium of cinema to an ideal encompassing the
whole of cinematic imagery. on the one hand, he emphasized the reality of the photographic image with its seeming ability to "copy" the visual aspect of the world. on the other, he very nearly worshipped the ability of some films and of some film makers to generate an illusion of a reality of which the camera appears to be a neutral spectator. The former is a physical realism founded in the literal transparency of film itself, and the other a rhetorical realism based in social criticism and psychological observation. Working between these two poles, Bazin outlines a bold theory of film that in being revealing is likewise open to attack.
Fundamental to Bazin's approach is a view of cinema as.."

"Man's Fate" ( Andre Malraux ), 1992.
Examines politics, philosophy and artistic merit of this 1930s novel on the revolution in China.

From the Paper
"This study will examine Andre Malraux's novel Man's Fate. The novel carries heavy political and philosophical weight, and the reader who seeks reading material which will distract him from the weightier issues of the twentieth century will not find much distraction in this novel. While Malraux clearly offers the suggestion that Communism is the answer to many of society's problems, and while he also gives much weight to the existential point of view of reality, neither of these philosophies or ways of life serve as panaceas in the novel itself. In short, it is a dark and relatively pessimistic work. The author clearly has his political and philosophical biases, but he is not so foolish as to argue in a work of art that the world will be turned into a paradise overnight if only others will believe as he does.
Writing in the early 1930s, Malraux was, like many other ..."

Dependent Personality Disorder, 2003.
A psychological examination of personality theories and correlates, as well as current research pertaining to dependent personality disorder (DPD).
6,630 words (approx. 26.5 pages), 46 sources, MLA, $ 151.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the pathological manifestation of dependency is a condition that has been the focus of a long line of personality theorists since the time of Freud. It looks at how pathological dependency has also been examined quite extensively by a multitude of personality researchers, and their efforts have yielded an extensive literature on the personality correlates of persons with dependent personality disorder (DPD). It shows how current research into the personality of the dependent person emphasizes interpersonal behaviour and the variation that exists within current diagnoses of DPD persons and how the role of future researchers is to further our understanding of DPD from the interpersonal perspective and to apply diverse models of personality in order to gain a truly comprehensive understanding of the personality of the DPD person. Pathological dependency is a condition that has perplexed researchers for more than a century, and further research into the underlying personality structure of the dependent personality is imperative in understanding the etiology, symptomatology, and effective treatment of this intriguing disorder.
From the Paper
"Rather than proposing a specific course of development to explain personality development, Alfred Adler, another of Freud?s successors, theorized that individuals adopt a style of life, referring to the ways in which persons pursue their goals and strive for a sense of superiority. Adler believed that individuals are motivated by feelings of inferiority, and that the path toward psychological health involves striving for superiority to attain completion, which leads to a constructive lifestyle and a sense of psychological well-being (Adler, 1930). Neurosis, on the other hand, is theorized to be the result of a striving for personal superiority, leading to the adoption of a destructive lifestyle, and consequently resulting in some form of psychopathology. Adler believed that a person develops a distinctive style of life through the culmination of the person?s family experiences and their interpretations of these experiences."

Personal Trust and Self-Confidence, 2008.
This paper describes a personal experience in which a person, Steve, whom the author trusted, has let him down and how this occurrence affected the author's sense of personal trust and self-confidence.
1,400 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that, in terms of self-concept, the author of the paper learned from his altercation with Steve that his self-esteem was directly impacted by the loyalty of others, which he had never sensed before in other similar experiences. The author realizes that he too often makes sweeping generalizations about others, possibly caused by his desire to trust without hesitation, which has led to many instances of disappointment that affected his self-esteem. The paper relates that this epiphany has given him a great deal of personal strength. The author states that, instead of viewing the situation as a new generalization that no one can be trusted, he was able to see that he can always trust himself to get done what needs to be done. The author underscores that, in terms of Steve's behavior, while many people try to follow the social rules around them, some are unable to actually handle the relationships with others thus they inflate their own self-concepts.
From the Paper
"At this point, I had stopped searching for a used car. I had utmost confidence that Steve would come through, despite his recent lapses in communication. Another week passed, and I received no word of my car. I decided to call again. There was no answer. I began to realize that there never actually was an answer--only the answering service. I called and called. I became desperate. School was about to begin and I had no vehicle and no supplemental income. I had been waiting for Steve...but, who was Steve? In the end, Steve did call me back. It was over a month later that I received the call, only to be curtly chastised for my annoying requests."

"According to the Journal of Mental Health Counseling, Forgiveness plays an important role in ensuring the mental stability of individuals. The journal reports that people that practice forgivenss are able to improve their well being and have more meaningful interpersonal relationships. Much of the scientific literature pertaining to the subject of forgiveness indicates that practicing forgiveness can result in less guilt, anxiety, anger and remorse of fear. (Harrington et al 2000) Harrington et al (2000) also reports, that the positive impact of forgiveness can be found amongst large and diverse populations that contain everyone from incest survivors to the families of individuals that have been murdered.

Personality Development, 2004.
An analysis of the development of a person's personal identity.
858 words (approx. 3.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the development of one's personality. Based on a combination of the opinions of experts and the author's personal observations, the paper contends that all human personality development is variable and different. The paper also claims that personality development springs from complicated interactions of 'nature' and 'nurture' plus outside environmental characteristics, such as social and cultural expectations, peer group interactions and the influences of teachers and other relatives.
From the Paper
" Within all human beings, personal identity, or the image one has of oneself, is affected by an intricate mixture of genetic and environmental variables, unique to every individual. For example, studies have shown that even among identical twins raised under identical circumstances within the same households, less-than-identical personality characteristics emerge (Vandell, 2000; Harris, November 2000). According to Lykken (1997), the good or bad influences of one's peer group have more to do with personality development than often assumed, but others (Tavris, 1998; Vandell, 2000; Harris, November 2000) feel that a child's personality is most responsible for personality development.

Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), 2003.
A study of Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) which explains the concept of multiple ?persons??

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores the disorder known as Multiple Personality Disorder. The paper attempts to define this illness and takes into account the different meaning of personality as well. Skeptical views are explored and argued against the fact that many cases of MPD have arisen only in the past three decades. Small changes in character traits are explored across time and due to certain instances which affect a person, resulting in a change of personality. Cases of more than two personalities are explored and deemed extremely rare cases, not comparing in any way to the subtle changes suspect to the culturally conditioned iatrogenic theory of MPD. The childhood traumatic theory of MPD is also explored and compared to the culturally conditioned theory.
From the Paper
"Many people have argued the topic of personality and what it is to be a person over the centuries. Exploring the different meanings is very complex and to say that Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) involves multiple persons depends on what we define to be a person. If there are simply changes in attitude in a person over a given time, is it classified as MPD or ?excessively moody?? Taylor and Martin (1944) stated that MPD is the presence in one patient of two or more personalities each of which is so well defined as to have a relatively stable mental life of its own (as cited in Gillett 1986). Usually in MPD, the character traits of the other ?person? are the opposite of the real person, for example, happy and withheld to hot-tempered and open."

Personal Finance Books, 2007.
This paper compares two books on personal finances: D. Chilton's "The Wealthy Barber" and E. Tyson's "Personal Finance for Dummies".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that these personal finance books are designed to aid the average person in his or her personal finances, which is a subject everyone should try to understand. The author points out that Chilton's "The Wealthy Barber: Everyone's Commonsense Guide to Becoming Financially Independent" is formatted as a discussion among friends; however, it does not provide a clear explanation. The paper relates that Tyson's "Personal Finance for Dummies" explains different topics, chapter by chapter, in a clear and well-designed manner including a useful chapter pointing the way to more information such as financial planners. The author suggests that Chilton's book might make a good introduction for the individual who needs to gain some of the basics before examining Tyson's more detailed book.
From the Paper
"Chilton uses a fictional barber as a central character and so details how this barber has handled his personal finances so as to become financially independent. The plan Chilton offers is not a quick scheme but a carefully developed way to change one's financial status over time. Chilton does not require the reader to be wealthy or to have any more than an average salary, yet he shows how such a person can take control of their finances and make a real difference for their future."
