Abstract
The author of this paper shows how the setting and atmosphere of the two works "The Fall of the House of Usher" (Edgar Allen Poe) and "The Tempest" (Shakespeare), are a reflection of the characters. Each work is analyzed individually.
From the Paper
"Again, the setting is defining the characters and their moods. "Extensive decay" could just as well describe Roderick and Madeline after she returns from the tomb. It could also describe the family itself, who, through intermarriage and interbreeding, weakened its bloodlines until only the sickly Roderick and Madeline are left to carry on the name."

Abstract
This paper explains that America began as a conglomerate of individuals seeking religious freedom and criminals seeking to establish a new life, but the nation gradually began to evolve into a more clearly defined social network with hierarchies of status. The author points out that the farmer, Crevecoeur, credited England for the success of America, but, clearly, the inhabitants are once-removed and different in character from the originators of the American nation. The paper relates that Equiano wrote that race in the absence of class and heredity was a marker of status and usually not a positive one.
From the Paper
"?Letters from an American Farmer? is a unique snapshot of the early nation because its author lived and toiled the land of America, yet was supplanted from another nation. According to the website devoted to the author, it is unclear if the man ever became naturalized. Regardless, his commentary is a valuable perspective on early American life. The farmer Crevecoeur noted, in letter three of his ?Letters from an American Farmer, to his erstwhile correspondent, ?I wish I could be acquainted with the feelings and thoughts which must agitate the heart and present themselves to the mind of an enlightened Englishman, when he first lands on this continent.?

The Characters of "Othello" and "Jane Eyre" as 'Other', 2002.
Shows how William Shakespeare in "Othello" and Bronte in "Jane Eyre" reflect certain characters as disadvantaged others in their works.

Abstract
Both Shakespeare's "Othello" and Bronte's "Jane Eyre" feature the theme of the treatment of the 'other - ' a theme that situates the protagonist, in both of these texts, in a disadvantaged position vis-a-vis the dominant culture. In varying ways, the characters of Othello and Jane Eyre both experience the difficulties of being different, or apart from the status quo. Othello's color sets him notably apart from those around him. For Jane Eyre, it is her low social status, at least at the novel's beginning, although Jane is doubly disadvantaged being both impoverished and female. In both cases, the protagonists are treated with contempt, as if their status of 'other' renders such behavior on part of the dominant culture acceptable. But beneath this theme of marginalization and otherness that manifests itself in both of these texts is a journey into the self: a journey that ends in tragedy for Othello, as his is a path to self-deception, but one of self-discovery and maturation for Jane Eyre.

Sun Rising on Self Reflection, 2008.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that in fiction, characterization and point of view are often closely interrelated, as the nature of perspective influences how characters are understood and depicted. The writer then points out that in Ernest Hemingway's 'The Sun Also Rises' one can see the complexity of this interrelationship in how Hemingway uses the first person perspective of his protagonist - Jake Barnes - to not only narrate the action of the novel and describe the other characters but also, in the process, to describe himself as a reflection of his characterization of others. The writer concludes that the use of Jake Barnes as not only the novel's protagonist but also its first person narrator allows readers to "see" how Jake "sees" the other characters and actions in the novel. The writer maintains that Jake's view of the other characters - Cohn, Bill, and Brett in particular - mirrors qualities in himself, both good and bad.
From the Paper
"In this analysis, Jake's perception of all of the other characters in the narrative can be seen to mirror aspects of himself. In Brett her aimlessness and destructive romantic affairs serve to reflect the inner emotional desolation of Jake. Jake's depiction of Cohn reveals how he reflects Jake's lost innocence, and Jake's view of Bill reflects his superficial detachment and avoidance of real engagement with his life and emotions. Indeed, it is extraordinary how much of Jake's description of the world around him reflects qualities in himself. Even in the description of the bullfights in Spain, where Jake describes how steers - castrated bulls - are damaged in trying to make friends with the rampaging, virile bulls, we can see reflected some of the qualities of Jake. While numerous men circle about Brett to possess her sexually, the one person they all seem to like is Jake; perhaps because Jake is, like a steer, no threat to them."

From the Paper
"As a result, school curricula began now, also, to examine, for the first time, relationships among people, independent of race, class, gender or handicap. It is high time in our elementary schools today, I believe, for such overdue curricular emphasis, especially since, according to both Delgado & Stefanic (2001), and Sleeter & Grant (1988), people tend to automatically create categories, based on past experiences that they then organize in their minds."

Abstract
This paper examines Ronald Munson?s book, "Intervention and Reflection: Basic Issues in Medical Ethics", which was warmly welcomed by the medical community and the general public. It serves as the most authentic ethical guide on various controversial subjects. In particular, it looks at how Munson deals with the topic of abortion and analyzes the details of one pro-life and one pro-choice argument that Munson presents.
From the Paper
"Another major weakness of this argument is in connection with its ?every child must be wanted? ideal. The author maintains that every child coming into this world should be ?wanted?. In other words, he feels that if a mother wants to terminate pregnancy, it means that she doesn?t want the child she is carrying and therefore bringing such a child into the world would only result in numerous problems as the child would not be provided with loving care that he deserves. But this argument appears to be a rather weak one because we have noticed that many unwanted children have gone on to live a very productive life and thus if we kill all of them, we would probably also kill people like Beethoven too."

Abstract
This paper argues that Shakespeare wrote "Measure for Measure" as a complimentary tutorial for King James. In doing so, he portrays the current state of affairs in England and attempts to provide James with advice concerning the problems facing his kingdom.
From the Paper
"Shakespeare?s England at the time that Measure for Measure was written was in a state of internal conflict and discord. King James I came to power in 1603 and inherited a kingdom rife with a myriad of social and cultural problems, including corruption in the justice system, religious disputes and crises, and rampant sexual immorality. Shakespeare, the ?King?s Playwright,? as Alvin Kernan dubs him, wrote Measure for Measure as a complimentary tutorial for King James. In doing so, he portrays the current state of affairs in England and attempts to provide James, as a ruler with Divine Right and responsibility to his country, with advice concerning the problems facing his kingdom."

"A manager performs four functions: 'planning, organizing, leading, and controlling' (Jones & George, 2007, pg. 7). In planning, we decide what the goals of an organization are, and how to implement those goals. This is called strategy. It is important to come up with a strategy. If not, you are flying blind. 'Organizing is a process that managers use to establish a structure of working relationships that allow organizational members to interact and cooperate to achieve organizational goals' (Jones & George, pg. 11). Organizing is how we decide to use our people to achieve the organizational strategy."

From the Paper
" As I entered the hall, I saw that it was of a religious air seeing the painted dishes and images of The Madonna. But want caught my eye was the painting by El Greco ? Domenico Theotocopoulus entitled Christ Carrying The Cross 1580. Though the titles stated what it is, Christ carrying His cross, each and every intricate detailed seemed to give it more effect. I first looked at Christ?s eyes that were looking up at something, was it heaven? Was it the sky? Or perhaps in is Father God. His eyes seemed to illuminate at the pupils and the back round of the dark sky showing gray and gloomy clouds signifying rain. Yet deep at the center of the gathering of rain clouds there was a hint of light peeking through as if some celestial spectator wished to look at him."

Societal Reflection in Literature, 2005.
This paper compares William Blake's poem "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" and Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice" to discover the ability of writers to reflect society.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the power and genius of art often stems from its ability to cause society to reflect upon itself, which in turn leads to a better understanding and possible reformation. The author points out that, in his poem "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell", William Blake uses a style reminiscent of biblical texts in order to create a very different view of religion, which brings to surface certain hypocrisies of organized worship often overlooked. The paper states that, in the novel "Pride and Prejudice", Jane Austen satirizes the prideful attitudes of high society, which seek to suffocate the forces of love and acceptance through a comical narrative about the clash of people deeply entrenched in these attitudes.
From the Paper
"Austen uses the love that Mr. Darcy has for Elizabeth to contrast the deeper virtues of human nature with the attitudes of people of high social status hoping that the audience will see this contrast and learn from it. She does this by creating conflict through Mr. Darcy's over-powering inclination to be prideful that keeps him from feeling justified in loving Elizabeth who is much lower than he in terms of social status. The detriment of this pride is seen in Darcy's overtly rude denial of Elizabeth's beauty at their first encounter in the beginning of the book, which causes many of the other character's to scorn him."
