Abstract
This paper discusses the Walt Disney Picture's film, "Remember the Titans," directed by Boaz Yakin. The paper discusses the movie's primary themes of character development, overcoming adversity and the power of strong individuals to unify an entire city for the better. It describes the historic, political and social drama that is based on the real life 1971 Titans and their success.
From the Paper
"Nearly every character in the movie can be critiqued in such a way as Bertier as to how the exaggeration contributes to the themes of the film. Yet it is equally important to evaluate the merits which make Remember the Titans a memorable film, and gave the team the power it had over its community and contributes to its historical importance. The accomplishments of the Titans on the field must be considered for historical accuracy. This is where the movie lines up the most with the truth. The 1971 Titans were in fact undefeated, were in fact #2 in the country nationally, and they were state champions (Merron). There is not much the film could do to exaggerate this awe inspiring fact. The movie does take some liberties in often portraying the Titans as underdog (perhaps to appeal to general American underdog sentiment) when in reality the team was usual the favorites and very much dominant (Merron). It is likely, however that the on field accomplishments of the 1971 are not exaggerated because they cannot be. The team accomplished so much in real life and in the movie, giving it the power to overcome racial divisions to unify a community."

Abstract
This paper favorably reviews Walter Lord's 1955 non-fiction work, "A Night to Remember", explaining that it is a heart-rendering account of the Titanic's deadly collision with an iceberg. The paper further relates that the book is a compilation of survivors' recollections of the disaster and that the major theme of the book is the good and evil of human nature that is revealed in life threatening situations. The paper concludes that Lord's book is a critical expose of one of the most tragic events in the history of travel on the seas.
From the Paper
"Walter Lord gives his reader an authentic sense of what it was like to be a passenger onboard the boat that dreadful night. He describes the night of the crash as being calm, clear, and bitterly cold. He details the passengers' formal attire to help demonstrate just how shocking and unexpected the sinking was. He depicts their dress as an odd mixture of bathrobes, fur coats, turtleneck sweaters, and tuxedos to emphasize the bitter irony of the sinking."

Film: "Remember the Titans", 2008.
This paper is a review of the film "Remember the Titans", which demonstrates the problems of establishing racial equality in a high school and a community.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the film "Remember the Titans", high school football players on a formerly all white team must deal with the de-segregation of a school in Virginia high school and the presence of an African-American coach. The author relates that the film does not center on the difficulty of the changes in the classroom but rather on the football field, where the sport rules the town. The paper points out that, despite the changes of the individuals on the team, the persistent racism in the town shows how difficult it is to change ideas so deeply rooted in the society. The author states that, although football is certainly not as hard as war, the movie draws an interesting analogy between the two. The paper concludes that the film seems a bit too Hollywood in how smoothly the players make the transition from blatant racists to friends.
From the Paper
"The communities were sharply divided over the decision to name Herman Boone the head football coach. He had previously coached at North Carolina but was passed over jobs he had deserved because he was black. The African-American community celebrated his arrival; marking the first time a member of their race had obtained such a prestigious position. Despite a heroes welcome, Coach Boone continues to insist he was just a football coach. In a town like Alexandria where football is more than just a game, his position represents a victory in the fight for equality."

?Live and Remember?, 2002.
An analysis of Valentin Rasputin's novel "Live and Remember".

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper introduces Russian writer, Valentin Rasputin and his success in Russian literature. It analyzes his book, "Live and Remember" - considered as one of the most significant works of the post-Stalin, pre-glasnost era. The paper discusses the plot and the major themes of the book.
From the Paper
"Live and Remember may appear to some as a visionary text. Indeed the author?s convictions have been portrayed with such strength that it is easy to believe Valentin Rasputin is outlining a sequence of developments that is not inevitable. Thus, this book is not a theory of history or of world war. It is however, an analysis of the sort of institutions that might develop in an environment where the individual is bound to give priorities and values to those that he does not wish to or as free to choose and thus, demonstrating tendencies, not immutable consequences."

Painful Proof of Love, 2007.
A look at two poems that deal with different kinds of abuse: "I Cannot Remember All the Times..." by Jo Carson and "My Papa's Waltz" by Theodore Roethke.

Abstract
This paper reviews and compares two poems: "I Cannot Remember All the Times..." (1989) written by Jo Carson and "My Papa's Waltz" (1948) written by Theodore Roethke. Both poems explore ideas of abuse in the perspective of the person that is on the receiving side. Carson's poem talks of abuse from a boyfriend or husband while Roethke speaks of abuse of a child from a father. The paper examines how the different poetic elements such as sound, imagery, and symbolism are important to the themes of each poem and contribute to the understanding of the poems because they heighten the emotion and allow the reader to feel what the speaker is going through. The paper also looks at how one of the most relevant of these elements is the speaker/auditor relationship in each poem.
From the Paper
"In "My Papa's Waltz", the speaker appears to be a child speaking to his father and reflecting on what seems to be an abusive relationship. Although it is not universally agreed that this is a poem about child abuse, there are many images and diction choices that seem to point to that theme. There is a very simple rhyme scheme of ABAB and the poem is written in iambic trimeter so, there are important stresses on particular words that need to be followed. For example, in the first stanza, "But I hung on like death" (line 3), the word "death", the third stanza, "Was battered on one knuckle;" (10) the word "battered" and the fourth stanza, "You beat time on my head" (13) the word "beat". These words that are forced to have the stress contribute to a negative tone, especially within the rest of the context of the poem. The meter in this poem shows which words should be paid more attention to and which words have more importance."

I Remember When, 2002.

Abstract
The paper discusses family gatherings, identity and how the author's family and childhood affected her writing style. The grandmother, an older and wiser person, was Cofer's primary influence and she is discussed throughout most of the paper. The paper presents comparisons of the grandmother.
From the Paper
"Family gatherings have always been an important factor among families, especially my family. Everyone would enjoy each others company, the men in one room and the women in the other, watching the football game or telling stories. I remember hearing laughter and from the men, groans when their favorite teams weren't performing up to par. I also remember listening to the women in my family tell stories of when they were younger and remenise on the "good 'ole days". The family in "Casa: A Partial Rememberance of Puerto Rican Childhood", by Judith Ortiz Cofer, is much like mine. All of the women sit in a room and discuss life in general. These moments helped develop me into a mature woman and identify myself as they also did for Cofer. I was able to become a more self-aware person and see myself not only through those around me, but especially through my own eyes, just the same as the chats did for Cofer. Because of the gatherings, she was able to develop her love for writing stories and mature as a woman."

Abstract
This paper examines how the tragic death of Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone, killed in a plane crash with his wife and daughter left the Democratic Party without a candidate. It describes his political accomplishments and how his memorial sevice quickly became a carefully engineered media event and a political rally. It discusses whether it is ethical and correct the way Democrats and Republicans do their best to capitalize on whatever sensational developments come their way since no tragedy is too horrible to become grist for the political mill.
From the Paper
"Both sides were careful to tailor their memorials to the Senator?s values and good works. Wellstone?s close friend, Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, turned an enumeration of Wellstone?s accomplishments into an electoral battle cry. Beginning with a heartfelt tribute to his friend, his speech culminated in a rousing call to keep Wellstone?s dream alive. Yet, his powerful call-to-arms built on the words of the equally dramatic, Richard Kahn, a close personal friend of the late Senator?s who, after chopping the air with his hand Wellstone-fashion gave the following performance..."

From the Paper
"Medical professionals each day must make life-and-death choices about patient care, best estimates regarding diagnosis, difficult decisions about new treatments, and a wide variety of other decisions regarding the welfare of patients. Often, these decisions are to be made under conditions of stress, with little time available for considering the options. In other cases, decisions are made based on the best available data, and this data may be flawed, with errors that may not be revealed for years. In such an atmosphere, ethical dilemmas are bound to be a constant issue. Charles L. Bosk in Forgive and Remember: Managing Medical Failure (1979) and Roberta J. Apfel and Susan M. Fisher in To Do No Harm: DES and the Dilemmas of Modern Medicine (1984) examine different aspects of the ethical dilemmas facing the medical establishment today and consider the responsibility..."

Abstract
The paper discusses "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf", a play featuring seven women, and the tales they tell which are all related to different periods in time. The paper examines how the women recount aspects of their lives primarily as memory, showing that they are bound with time to the degree that they are remembering it and acting it out for the audience once more, while being free enough from time to bring all memories into the performance present. The paper also compares other expressionist plays such as "The Lesson" by Eugene Ionesco and "Endgame" by Samuel Beckett to Shange's work.
From the Paper
"Realism and expressionism are matters of point of view and resulting style. Realism looks at the world as it appears objectively, while expressionism is a reaction against current ideas of realism. The inner psychology of the mind is considered a more important reality than the external reality depicted by earlier playwrights, and indeed the inner reality may be the only reality. Expressionist drama is often more theatrical in shaping a reality that exists only on stage as a deliberate representation of the inner mental states of characters. The two trends can exist in some degree at the same time in a given play--The Zoo Story is realistic in some respects but expressionistic in the way it isolates these two individuals in a seeming limbo so that they are not really in a park near a zoo but are instead types battling over mental states, attitudes, and visions of society. Expressionist drama tends to place the individual against a dehumanizing society. This theme can be explored in realist drama as well, but the staging in expressionist drama takes the action from the real world and builds an image of the inner mental state of the individual as a staging ground for the action."

The Role of Women in Ancient Times, 1999.
A look at the roles of women in ancient times through an examination of ancient literature by Hesiod, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Homer, Virgil, and Aristotle.

Abstract
This paper analyzes several pieces of ancient literature in order to shed some light on the roles that women played in ancient times and how they were viewed by society. The paper examines Hesiod's "Theogony" and "Works and Days", Sophocles' "Antigone", Aristophanes' "Lysistrata", Homer's "Odyssey", Virgil's "Aeneid" and Aristotle's "Nicomachean Ethics". The paper concludes that, while the heroines and major female characters in these ancient works are certainly worth examination and study, it must be remembered that they are unrealistic in the light of normal ancient life, and that in reality women were barely given any attention at all.
From the Paper
"In ancient times, and in ancient Greece most of all, women were usually treated almost as less than human. Men seemed to deal with them as a necessary evil that was kept around for the sole purpose of providing sons. As F.G. Naerebout says, "Whatever else [they] may do - weaving, spinning, directing the female staff - is a pleasant extra (Naerebout 124)." Yet this was not always the case. There are cases in ancient writings where women are shown in a positive light, even cases where women are heroes. Here we shall examine separately each work in which women played a major role, either positive or negative."
