From the Paper
" This study will compare and contrast the young protagonists in Neil Bartlett's Ready to Catch Him Should He Fall and Edmund White's A Boy's Own Story. The study will consider the growth of the two characters, the realism of their experiences, and the roles their lovers play in their growth.
The process of growth portrayed in White's book is far more sophisticated, profound and realistic than that portrayed in Bartlett's book. This is due to the greater sophistication of the writing in White, to the fact that the protagonist in White is himself a more profound thinker and observer of psychological and emotional states and details, and because in White we are allowed to see more of the internal workings of the protagonist through the first-person perspective. Bartlett's story is by far the more romantic of the two stories. To fairly assess the two.."

Kay Hymowitz?s ?Ready or Not?, 2004.
This paper reviews "Ready or Not: What Happens When We Treat Children as Small Adults" by Kay S. Hymowitz, which attempts to present the effects of anti-culturalism on young children and teenagers.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Hymowitz traces the beginning of how America became an anti-cultural society that supposes children should grow up without help of the existing culture and even in conflict with it. The author of the paper points out that Hymowitz says that, once, parents were expected to educate their children by training them on ethics and ensuring that they control their antisocial whims; now, the children are naturally moral, and the adults are the problem. The paper says the book states that anti-cultural education is praising discovery learning, constructivism, lifelong learning, and a child-centered curriculum, cultivating an idea that children are making themselves more significant.
From the Paper
"Hymowitz clearly remarks that human beings cannot live in a cultural isolation, as it is practically unfeasible and conceptual. It is a desolate thought that efficient merchandisers now fill the area that was once conventionally defended by faith and family. Something will always be filled in the empty space. Hymowitz takes special care in a fair and inevitable manner to depict the anti-cultural beliefs that saturates the portrayal of nuclear family in movies and television. She gives a striking ambivalence of earlier generation?s responsibilities to the present day and substantiates the argument that a pessimistic attitude is almost in all of the parental power."

Are Kids Ready?, 2001.

Abstract
This paper explains the difficulties facing high-school graduates in the current economic slump when looking for jobs or career directions. The writer asks whether the American school system prepares young adults for this challenge by comparing it to the Korean school system. It looks at values, academic emphasis and social pressures.
From the Paper
"It?s hard to believe that just a year ago, the American economy was growing at an exponential rate with unlimited job opportunities available in almost every industry. With the stock market breaking record highs, new upstart ?dot.com? companies making millions in their first year and doubling of jobs in the service sector, a bright and stable future seemed almost a guarantee for many high school students who would soon be entering the job markets. This growth, however short lived, is now in a downhill progression with the plummeting stock market, many computer companies in bankruptcy, and American companies laying people off in record numbers and downsizing nationally. Combine this recession with globalization and American high school students are now facing fierce competition nationally and internationally for jobs. The question is whether or not your average American high school graduate is scholastically prepared to compete for these sought-after jobs? Unfortunately, I don?t think so and I hope to provide valid evidence that will support my thoughts. In comparing the Korean school systems with those of the Americans, I feel that the difference is clear."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper is presented as market plan to export a ready-to-drink cold coffee product to Australia. The product is named Elixa and the aim is to manufacture it and sell it to America as well as export it to Australia. The paper covers issues such as Australia as the export country of choice; Elixa as an export product; profile of the industry; marketing issues; exchange rates and distribution issues.
From the Paper
"The advertisements will focus on the social and lifestyle issues, such as showing a group of young people sitting drinking Elixa at the beach. This presents the summer image and the social image. It also implies a comparison between sitting with friends at a cafe having a coffee and sitting around informally with friends. The cafe scene is one that has meaning for people and suggests the social side of the coffee drink. Having this scene recreated but in a more relaxed setting puts the focus on Elixa as being a friendly addition to a lifestyle. Showing the beach represents the coastal living of Australia."

Is Florida Ready?, 2001.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the emergency services available in Florida and examines whether they would be prepared to deal with a major earthquake. Each service is analyzed for their preparedness, a look at other government assistance available and lists of financial support which would be given to citizens in such an event.
From the paper:
"What would happen if Florida were to be hit by a devastating earthquake? This paper suggests a possible emergency response to such an event. While Florida is as prepared as a state can be (having had a fair amount of practice recently) in responding to hurricanes, it has (of course) relatively little practice in responding to earthquakes. However, some fault lines do lie under the Atlantic, of course, and so Florida is subject to potential earthquakes. Fortunately, while the citizenry here is unfamiliar with earthquakes, many of the basic disaster-preparedness elements that allow us to cope with hurricanes can also be called into play for any other type of natural disaster."

Time and ?Catch 22?, 2003.
An examination of the psychology of Joseph Heller's use of time in his book "Catch 22" .

Abstract
This paper reviews Joseph Heller's novel "Catch 22", a novel spinning and turning tumultuously on two separate axes in which time becomes distorted and disordered, providing no structure. It examines how the mischievous ?Catch-22?, the unsuspected, beguiling tool of the military?s ?spinning? logic is effective in the way it offers no-win situations to its baffled victims. Yossarian is ensnared by this bureaucratic machine, trapped by the shifting line of reasoning it constructs and in all of his ?insane? and absurd reasonableness, acts as the vehicle for existentialism. It analyzes how the novel?s cyclical time also allows for the recurrence and repetition of phrases and images and how the image of Snowden lying in the back of Yossarian?s plane is continually alluded to and revisited throughout the book.
From the Paper
"Yossarian functions within a similar power dynamic. Men like Cathcart, who dominate and ?enslave? Yossarian, are ?noble.? Both have the capacity to construct a moral reality with regard to themselves. When Cathcart volunteers the men in Yossarian?s squadron to bomb Bologna, ex-P.F.C. Wintergreen tries to explain the ?noble? position to Yossarian?that it?s his job to sacrifice his own life, and that this is the ?right? thing to do. Yossarian counters by claiming, in essence, that the sacrifice of his own life would be too great (Heller 133). Both sides are able to define the situation from their own perspective. "

Joseph Heller's "Catch-22", 2004.
This paper applies the message of Joseph Heller's "Catch-22" to contemporary life.
1,080 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the title of Heller's novel refers to the contradictions of war itself and inherent contradiction of this code, "Catch-22,' a code of military ethics stating that one does not have to fight if one is crazy, but one is not be crazy if one does not want to fight, suggesting that it is insane to want to die fighting a war. The author applies this code to contemporary military terms, saying that a similar Catch-22 is evident in the rhetoric of leaders who justify the need to stay in Iraq to sustain the peace, even while the American military presence creates more conflict. This paper relates that, in war, the military deprives a person of his or her private language and life, creating its own system of values; in this way, the military is similar to many other spheres of society, which create insular cultures of their own, locking in participants who, once entrapped within a particular system, cannot escape.
From the Paper
"Yoassarin, the paranoid hero of the novel desires to leave service, especially after dealing with the death of one of the men of his unit. He too, he finds, is subject to the Catch-22 clause that to be excused from military duty by reason of insanity, one must be insane enough to want to fight on, rather than to live and opt out of armed conflict. Thus, the central problem of the novel is not only the insanity of war, but also how to opt out of a system that demands a clear yes or no--either one must validate the war and insanely agree to armed combat to be excused, or one must validate the war by continuing to fight on, while sanely refusing and saying that war is death, thereby proving one?s own sanity and proving one?s fitness to fight."

Eugene O'Neil's "Long Day's Journey into Night", 2006.
This paper reviews Eugene O'Neil's "Long Day's Journey Into Night" and the use of denial by the main characters.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This review of Eugene O'Neil's "Long Day's Journey Into Night", describes how the characters use denial as a temporary escape from their problems. Whether it be denying personal qualities, such as stinginess, a bad decision, or an unhealthy addiction, their denial only makes their problems worse. O'Neill uses the Tyrone family and their denial to show how avoiding issues is not going to solve or make them disappear. Though denial may be a temporary escape from a problem, in the long run it is futile.
From the Paper
"It is common knowledge that "The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem." Unfortunately, in Eugene O'Neill's "Long Day's Journey Into Night", many of the characters find the first step to be the hardest. Instead of facing reality, James Tyrone, Edmund, Jamie, and Mary continue to deny their problems in hopes that they will go away. Each of the characters uses denial as a temporary escape from their problems and the reality of the world rather than facing their problems and solving them."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of Joseph Heller's anti-war novel, "Catch-22". It begins with a look at the character of the anti-hero Yossarian. Characters are looked at in relation to the novel's themes of power and greed, as well as profit. The use of satire is examined. The paper concludes with the writer's view of what Heller was trying to say in his novel.
From the Paper
"Catch-22 is a novel that entirely takes place at war. Even though the book is filled with comedy, it describes the physical and emotional pain of war. The novel shows us how people are changed by war and how their focuses are changed through different experiences. Catch ? 22 breaks the rules of a standard anti ? war novel, which shocks this statement into the reader. Through different and sudden time changes, the reader is almost tricked to laugh at certain situations that later are revealed to be quite serious and emotional. The reader doesn?t realize what they are laughing at until the novel is completed and Heller?s true vision is revealed. Catch ? 22 is an ?alternative, requiring not only a high order of poetic vision but also a willingness to shock, to challenge, to spit in your audience?s eye, is what goes currently under the label of the Absurd. This encompasses farce, gibberish, surrealism and even that sub-branch of show-business called ?sick humour?.? There are many themes in the novel, which frame the anti-war theme. Greed for power and money and the corruption of soldiers in the novel all tell us how evil war really is. Heller uses satire in order to get the point across from a rather comedic standpoint."

"Catch-22", 2002.
Examines Joseph Heller's moral vision of America in his novel "Catch-22".

Abstract
The paper shows that in the moral vision of his novel, "Catch-22", Joseph Heller attacks war, bureaucracy and capitalism as the ills of America. The paper also shows that Heller?s model for morality is found within the character of Yossarian, who struggles against these systems, dehumanization and death with logic and individualism.
From the Paper
"The bureaucratic war machine of Catch-22 exemplifies the work of bureaucracy in society. Those high in the chain of command give orders arbitrarily. Rules have no meaningful relation to each other. Catch-22 is found in every report, counter-report, and rule book. Generals and Colonels strive to gain attention in magazines rather than running an efficient war, glorifying themselves, destroying each other in a game for higher rank. Nothing is won except a more deeply embedded illusion of immortality, another step away from the battlefield, where the mortality of man as a reality is in full view. So separated from this reality an agent of bureaucracy dispenses life without a thought of death. As in American society, systems of government and corporation are run bureaucratically. They have no relation to the people they affect. Heller portrays the negative in these affects; war is the outcome, created by men that don?t fight wars but let other fight them instead. As in the social reality of big business in America, control, self-interest, and profit are first in line for executives."

"The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down", 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains how in her book "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down", author Anne Fadiman recounts the life and death of a little Hmong girl living in Merced, California. It discusses how the girl, Lia Lee had what Western doctors call epilepsy, and which the Hmong have a far more lyrical explanation that lends itself to the title of Fadiman's book.
From the Paper
"The most common neurological disease, epilepsy can be frightening and potentially debilitating. However, in cultures around the world and throughout time, from the Hmong to the ancient Greeks, epilepsy opens pathways to creativity and an increased understanding of the universe. Thus, as Fadiman points out, many epileptics become shamans. When Lia Lee first started having epileptic seizures, her mom Foua, speaking not a word of English, rushed her to the Merced Community Medical Center. There, doctors tended to the eight-month old child as best they could under the circumstances. Because all she was doing was coughing when she arrived at the hospital, doctors gave her chest x-rays and diagnosed Lia Lee with "early bronchiopneumonia or tracheobronchitis," unaware that she had just recently seized. The same thing happened on more than one occasion until finally Lia Lee was rushed to the medical center in the middle of a seizure. Visible evidence at hand, doctors were then able to accurately diagnose Lia Lee's illness and prescribe a course of treatment."

Eugene O'Neil's "Long Day's Journey Into Night", 2002.

Abstract
This essay discusses how Eugene O'Neil's "Long Day's Journey Into Night" uses the Freudian theory of the unconscious in the stream-of-consciousness dialogue. The play is about a dysfunctional family, whose summer on the shore is filled with abuse of alcohol and drug addiction. Yet the family is in severe denial about this abuse. In this context, we see Freud's theme of how the unconscious operates.
