Abstract
In this article, the writer analyzes the film "The Red Shoes". The writer considers a number of aspects of the film including characters, lighting, dance sequences and color. Further, the writer highlights a number of the film's main themes including passion and jealousy. Overall, the writer maintains that the film's appeal should be attributed to the good taste of Michael Powell and the multitude of prestigious aids he employed such as Jack Cardiff, Robert Helpmann, composer Brian Easdale, and art director Arthur Lawson. Their contributions to the film are invaluable, making "The Red Shoes" a special film that offers overwhelming visual and aural sensations. The writer concludes that combined with the complicated philosophical and emotional issues, Powell and company produced a movie that should stand among the greatest in its genre.
From the Paper
"By the time this plot has come fully to fruition, the film is nearly over. The second act last somewhere around one hundred minutes; it is not hard to imagine a less patient audience being bored with, if not entirely dismissive of, the film's long path toward a culmination that last only a matter of minutes. The Red Shoes, however, is not really a love story at all; the relationship between Craster and Paige is present only to set up some of the larger themes that are all resolved in the end. Thus, the concrete story must be approached as something to be dissected, a narrative with many layers to be pulled away and exposed.
The real goal of Powell's film is to examine the pressures and costs of passion. This theme is focused directly on Vicki Paige; she is the character most influenced by Lermontov and most willing to sacrifice everything for the ballet."

Abstract
A review of Haynes political work, which seeks to rectify deficiencies in the historiography of American anti-Communism. The paper points out that prior examinations have failed to accurately explain critical components of the opposition to Communism in the years after World War II. It shows how Haynes indicates that these works have misunderstood and incorrectly characterized the nature of anti-Communist activity. The paper specifies Haynes's four principal shortcomings in earlier depictions and explains them.
From the Paper
"First, he asserts, many histories do not adequately establish the connection between the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) and the espionage activities of the Soviet Union. Second, previous analyses have not described the significant links between pre-World War II antifascism and postwar anticommunism. Next, he charges, the accounts routinely fail to demonstrate the scope and diversity of sentiment against communism. Finally, prior works typically portray anticommunism as senseless and inscrutable. ?To make American anticommunism in the 1940s and 1950s historically explicable,? he writes, ?is the purpose of this book? (vii)."

Abstract
This paper presents an extensive analysis of the business conditions in Brazil. The author believes that the Green-Field theory in which the company, as a wholly owned subsidiary in Brazil, sets up a new international operation that will give it firm control of the Brazilian operations and the freedom to engage in global strategic coordination with the parent company, is the best mode of entry for Synergy Shoes. The paper relates that Synergy shoes will use the best leather for durability and style by importing the leather from Haining, China, which is the leather capital of the world. The author points out that, to measure the effectiveness of the manufacturing and management processes at Synergy Shoes, a feedback program will be implemented for customers, suppliers and employees.

Abstract
The writer describes to the client the importance of knowing the audience: The people who are recently reinventing soccer as the world's most popular sport. The paper then illustrates the ways in which soccer shoes are currently flawed and proposes ways to improve the quality and therefore garner greater profits for the company.
From the Paper
"The growing popularity of soccer on both an amateur and professional level has brought renewed focus to what is the already the most popular sport on the face of the planet (Official Omonoia..., 1999). In short, this is the target audience for a more usable and desirable soccer shoe. The growing numbers of individuals who will become involved in soccer will discover that the orthodics available are not always what they need. Add to this all the individuals world wide who already play soccer who have had a less than satisfactory experience with their current brand of shoe, and the target audience is huge. Not to be forgotten are the shoe manufactures, plus the secondary and tertiary markets."

Heidegger, 'Aletheia', and Van Gogh?s Shoes, 2005.
Discusses Heidegger's concept of truth, known as aletheia, through his given example of Van Gogh?s painting of a pair of shoes.
1,859 words (approx. 7.4 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 59.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Heidegger had an alternate understanding of truth, aletheia, which involves an ?unconcealedness? of being. He illustrated this concept by way of a discussion of Van Gogh?s painting of a pair of shoes. The paper shows how this interpretation drew the criticism of art historian, Meyer Schapiro, who questioned whether the shoes are that of a peasant woman. This, in turn, triggered a response from Jacques Derrida about the subjective projections on both sides. This paper argues that what gets lost in the flurry of words is whether we have a mode of properly understanding aletheia.
From the Paper
"Consequently, it is possible to consider the concept on its own terms, regardless of how tenuous or how strong its ancient Greek origins may be. With such an allowance, it is possible to elaborate on two points in regards to Heidegger?s intent and purpose. First, al?theia results in knowledge that lies outside of interpretation and conceptualization, accompanied by the matching of those concepts with ?the facts.? In a later writing, Heidegger introduces the idea of wonder or astonishment in which one persists in a state of unsettledness. (1984 esp. 120) In contrast to the effort of matching mental contents with reality, an outright grasping for meaning and certainty, and the insistent elimination of confusion and doubt, things are left ungrounded and open."

Shoes for Social Conscience, 2006.
A discussion regarding how alternative culture makes us into corporate toadies.

Abstract
This essay explores the culture of culture jamming via Blackspot sneakers and how this sales campaign reveals that the self-identified socially conscious are possibly competitive consumers rather than social care-takers. This discussion focuses on the media coverage; promotion and marketing materials of the Blackspot sneakers recently deemed "one of the 12 hottest urban brands" as an example of a consumer product that represents the counterculture in the sum of its parts.
From the Paper
"In an early publishing of an article in Forbes magazine, Adbusters' Blackspot sneakers were discussed in terms of their unrealistic ability to take on mega-brands such as Nike. Still, and as noted in the article, Adbusters has managed to sell 20,000 pairs since 2003 (Whelan, n.p.). Even with the cost of manufacturing, this sales figure can easily be worth up to a half million dollars in profit over three years; not bad for a small alternative magazine outfit in B.C. Interestingly, to even entering in this conversation, one must acknowledge that Adbusters has become part of the mainstream culture, where concerns of sales and marketing are central topics."

From the Paper
"The field of advertising has a long history, and it is a field that is indispensable in our modern society because it helps inform the public of the basic goods and services that are available in the marketplace. Advertising can be defined as any form of paid communication with the purpose of motivating a reader or viewer to purchase a product or service, to influence public opinion, to win political support, to sell an idea or a cause, or to act or think and perhaps influence others in the manner desired by the client. The main goal of advertising is to motivate or persuade people to buy a particular product or service, and among the media used to accomplish this are radio, television, newspapers, magazines, direct mail, billboards, posters, catalogs, and brochures. Advertisers and all who work in the agency are in the business of selling (Pattis 1)."

"Marketing Objectives
The footwear industry in the United States is a highly competitive financial giant with incredible profit to be made. In 1981, the industry generated $1 billion in sales. Today, atretic and leisure footwear generates over $5 billion in sales.. This growth is directly related to the increasing fitness consciousness in America. Furthermore, there has been a change in lifestyles from formal to informal whereby people are beginning to accept athletic style footwear for daily use. As a result, most manufacturers are market driven with aggressive and innovative promotional campaigns. Ad expenditures have increased dramatically and niche brands have become less and less visible.
Brooks sales for the past three years have increased steadily from $250 million in 1987 to $420 million in 1990. Net ..."

" Ryka: Lightweight Athletic Shoes for Women
Key Economic Characteristics
Demand is one of the most important economic characteristics of the athletic footwear industry. In 1987 the footwear industry grew at about a 20% rate showing great demand. By 1993 the annual growth rate of the athletic footwear industry had decreased to 4%, indicating saturation and a mature market (Gottfried, Hoffman, Porciello, 1994, 501).
Several segments of the industry, shaped by technological innovation, image and fashion appeal continue to expand and thus represent additional key economic characteristics of the athletic footwear industry (Gottfried, Hoffman, Porciello, 1994, 501).

"The Red Convertible", 2008.
An analysis of the symbol of the red convertible in "The Red Convertible" by Louise Edrich.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper looks at "The Red Convertible" by Louise Edrich that depicts how the Lamartine family, especially the two brothers, deal with the older brother's return from Vietnam. The paper discusses how the altered family dynamics are shown by the symbol of the red convertible and how this symbol changes throughout the story.
From the Paper
"The story presents the struggles of two brothers to cope with their changing relationship, as well as the changes taking places in the post-Vietnam world. In fact, the relationship between the two brothers is used as a direct parallel of the post-war situation in the sense that their story is a symbol of the difficulties and readjustments that many Vietnam veterans and their families were faced with after the war. The theme of brotherhood is central to the plot. The story is told from Lyman's point of view which means the reader has no direct insight into Lyman's brother's thoughts."
