Abstract
This paper examines how the films "Shallow Grave" and "The City of Lost Children" both tell the story of the inevitability of destruction to those who benefit from ill-gotten gains. It looks at how what is unique about each film is how each director fully utilizes their respective genre in terms of place, visual effects and character development.
From the Paper
"The films Shallow Grave and The City of Lost Children both tell the story of the inevitability of destruction to those who benefit from ill-gotten gains. What is unique about each film is how each director fully utilizes their respective genre in terms of place, visual effects and character development. However, in comparison, Shallow Grave is more effective in holding a mirror up to the nature of friendship, greed and morality in self-absorbed societies. Shallow Grave is an example of a black comedy with modern film noir nuances. The characters, perhaps lacking in moral fiber are not criminal, in fact are professionals with gainful employment, until the exact circumstances present themselves. The noir aspects of the film exhibit as paranoia and guilt over the act of dismembering Hugo and continue to grow and become more tangible."

Abstract
Its symptoms, its causes, the way it affects different cells and the treatment are all outlined. Hyperactive thyroid causes many symptoms that are often overlooked by patients as well as their doctors. We discount them as they gradually creep up upon us and we tell ourselves there are other causes for the things that are happening. Once we have been diagnosed we then begin a treatment plan that can vary in intensity as well as options. The author takes the reader on a detailed exploration of the disease, the research and the treatment of Grave's disease.

Abstract
The paper explores the portrayal of the feminine gender through grave-goods and the light these grave-goods shed on the culture of a woman and her community. The paper examines three contrasting inhumations, one Saxon, one Anglian and one Kentish, in order to compare and contrast these different cultures and communities. The paper discusses the revelations of contrasting styles of dress, varying roles played by women, such as weavers, wives and mothers and the status afforded to the Anglo-Saxon woman through the fulfilment of these roles.
From the Paper
"In order to consider what is meant here by 'gendered grave-goods', it is first important to consider what is referred to by 'gender'. The term 'gender' is usually differentiated from the term 'sex' in that 'sex relates specifically to the biological, physical characteristics which make a person male or female at birth, whereas gender refers to the behaviours associated with members of that sex.' Sex, then, is defined biologically, and gender, culturally. Crawford says of the grave-goods associated with the pagan Anglo-Saxon inhumation ritual, that '[t]he clearest message conveyed [...] was the sex of the deceased', the sharp contrast between the '[w]eapons, including spears, shields and swords' almost exclusively found in male burials and the jewellery that is associated with female burials serving to highlight the very different types of goods used to symbolise the male and female sexes. Stoodley emphasises the contrast between masculine and feminine symbolism further still in his comment that the jewellery of the female inhumation ritual is not only an indication of the female sex, but is also involved in 'the creation of a feminine gender'."

Architect Michael Graves, 2008.
Looks at postmodernist architect Michael Graves, one of the leading twentieth century architects and designers.

Abstract
This paper explains the Michael Graves' drawings and buildings are notable for their manipulation of archetypal form into highly abstract, figurative compositions. The paper then points out that Graves gave up the neutral glass curtain wall of late modernism and instead uses a colorful cloak of cladding by which he reintroduces the hierarchical composition of classical buildings more characteristic of postmodernism. The paper also reports that Michael Grave's Public Service Building in Portland, Oregon has at least four distinct historical styles embedded in its design: egyptian, italian, art deco and modern.
From the Paper
"Levin agrees as well that postmodernism has derived from the ability of artists to produce works in a mass quantity, so to speak, because of new processes and products involving mass production: "By the time men were traveling to the moon, art was being assembled in factories from blueprints." While the postmodernist may see the modernist era as more scientifically oriented, it is clear that postmodernism is also influenced by scientific developments and possibilities. Levin says that modernism was highly optimistic, while postmodernism is more cynical."

Abstract
This paper studies James Merrill's poem, Annie Hill's Grave", in terms of its sounds and how the sounds relate to the subject matter of the poem, death. Through an analysis of Merrill's use of assonance, alliteration, rhyme and iambic and trochaic feet, the paper explains how the sounds reflect and represent the meaning of this poem.
From the Paper
"In the first stanza much alliteration exists; "s" sounds predominate. Also, the "k" in "casket" is repeated in "like"; there are "t" sounds in "casket," "visit," "airtight," and "comfort"; there are "n" sounds in "Necropolis" and "not," "nice," and in a way in "amen," "streamlined," "one," "want," "underground," and "round"; and "w" sounds are found in "would," "one," and "want." Interestingly, a particular consonant sound tends to repeat within the same line."

Sassoon, Owen, and Graves in "Regeneration", 2004.
A look at the psychological battles of the work of Owen, Graves, and Sassoon.

Abstract
This paper discusses how the medium of poetry is especially suited for communicating the nuance of the ?inner struggle? with war and the sufferings of those required to participate in it. It looks at how the three poets, Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves, and Wilfred Owen, are excellent examples of writer/soldiers who express their psychological struggles with war in their poetry, in their cases, the first World War, and how these struggles gain an even greater impact when fictionalized into novel form in Pat Barker?s "Regeneration".
From the Paper
"The sad truth is that nothing has changed in the years intervening between the ?dying? of the first World War?s souls and the present time. Indeed, Barker?s description and dramatization of the events surrounding the writing of Sassoon, Owen, and Graves, resonates all too clearly, especially when dramatized in the human terms and details of the novel. Indeed, the messages Sassoon imparts in Regeneration are just as relevant today. That he is discharged from the hospital back to the fight, as River?s notes, most probably straight to his death mirrors the doom of war itself. It consumes all, even truth, and Sassoon sees that he is ultimately unable to do otherwise. Finally, the reader is left with the results of, in the words of the New York Times Book Review, a brilliantly harrowing?novel that makes the madness of war more than a metaphor."

In the poem the deceased is a woman who at the opening of the poem senses a shifting in the earth above her grave."

From the Paper
"Life in Rome among the upper class during the Republican Era was steeped in intrigue, violence,and unscrupulous morals as well as a lust for greed and power. Many would argue that this is human nature and that nothing has changed in 2,000 years. Be that as it may, the reign of Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus, known as Claudius, who lived from 10 B.C. to A.D. 54, was no different, in fact, by many standards was very ordinary in a frightening sort of way. Robert Graves, in I, Claudius, which was first published in 1934, attempts to provide a fascinating look at the period through the eyes of Claudius. The purpose of this paper is to critique Graves' non-fictionalized "autobiography" of Claudius particularly as to how it meshes with history in light of the writings by Tacitus in The Annals of Imperial Rome (translated and published in 1988) and Suetonius' ..."

From the Paper
"Two steles from the ancient world are found in the Stele with Law Code of Hammurabi and the Grave Stele of Hegeso, the first in Susa, the second in Athens. A stele is a carved or inscribed stone or pillar used for commemorative purposes. While the term is Greek, the artistic form existed before the Greeks who turned it to their own use, as can be seen in the two works under discussion. The first is a Babylonian relief sculpture, and the second a Greek work. The Babylonian work is the larger of the two, standing at 7 feet 2 inches, while the Greek work is five feet 2 inches high. The two works have similarities in purpose and even form, but the Babylonian work has a secondary importance in that it contains the Code of Hammurabi, one of the most important legal documents of the ancient world.
The first civilizations that emerged in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India.."

From the Cradle to the Grave, 2003.
A critical evaluation of the research on the influence of childhood attachment on adult attachment styles.
2,180 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 12 sources, MLA, $ 67.95

Abstract
This paper considers the role childhood attachment plays in adult romantic love. Current studies on the influence of childhood attachment styles on adult attachment are reviewed and both contextual and cultural issues are discussed. It shows how findings suggest that there is a continuity of attachment style from infancy to adulthood, although adult attachment styles can be influenced by a number of factors.
From the Paper
"A work that ?revolutionized the study of adult romantic love? (Ridge and Feeney 1998 p848) was Hazan and Shavers (1987) study. This research was based on Bowlby?s work and set out to examine the possibility that affectional bonds between adults are formed much the same way as those that bond human infants and their parents. They explore the notion that three major attachment styles in adults are based on Ainsworths mental models of self and social life mentioned above which are determined in infancy in part by relationships with parents. Therefore, they say a person?s attachment style is set in childhood and that adult loving relationships vary according to the attachment histories of those involved. (Hazan & Shaver, p511)."

The Room of Shallow Minds, 1999.
A descriptive, creative English piece.
868 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 0 sources, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
A creative English piece written as a commentary against the strangulation of the 'American Dream,' the grey monotony of the middle path. Set in a miscellaneous school room, the piece focuses on disassociated, descriptive imagery to convey the hopelessness these youths already face. Three students' internal thoughts are specifically focused on, with each displaying a different hopelessness contained and created within their own society.
From the Paper
"The room was silent and the students breathed while their hearts beat within their chests. Their unconscious dreams swelled and fell within the background of their minds as these dreams painted expectations of life to come. An education, a pass in final school years, a rewarding job, an eventual happy family. A nice gravestone."

Exploding the Myth of Race, 2007.
This paper examines the ideas presented in "The Emperor's New Clothes" by Joseph L. Graves.
1,500 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 49.95

Abstract
The paper discusses the biological anthropologist Joseph L. Graves' suggestion that race is a culturally and socially constructed idea, not a biological fact. The paper identifies how he takes contention with many of the assumptions of the modern scientific community in the fields of medicine and anthropology; he maintains that blood groups or genetic diseases are not exclusive to confined racial groups. Graves makes a persuasive case that human beings must look beyond artificially constructed racial barriers - both laypersons and traditional medical researchers. The paper concludes that culture is a more powerful influence upon individual human health than the genetic and biological legacy that we all, as members of homo sapiens, commonly share.
From the Paper
"Sickle cell anemia, a disease associated with African Americans, is actually a genetic mutation that protects against malaria found primarily in individuals of West African ancestry. The supposed 'Black' race does not manifest the genetic trait of sickle cell across the entire African continent sparing the geographical expanse from Ethiopia to Cape Town. To further confuse racial categories of Blackness, sickle cell anemia is present in European Mediterranean ethnic groups, in a slightly different form, even though these persons might not share such conventional physical markers of race in terms of their physical appearance."

World War II Stories, 2005.
Summary and analysis of two World War II stories: Ernst Junger's "Goodbye to All That" and Robert Graves' "The Storm of Steel".

Abstract
This paper summarizes, compares and contrasts Ernst Junger's and Robert Graves autobiographical accounts of their WWII experiences. The paper explains how both authors describe their experiences as soldiers in the war and how both accounts have an entirely different focus.
From the Paper
"Good-Bye to All That is more than a simple recounting of Graves' experiences in the military. The memoir traces Graves' life prior to his entry into the military, and includes a review of his childhood. The author's experiences as a schoolboy at the public school, Charterhouse, were desperately unhappy, and set the tone for much of the dissonance and unhappiness in the rest of the book. Good-Bye to All That also delves into Graves' largely unhappy marriage to Nancy Nicholson, and traces many of his meetings with other authors and poets, such as Thomas Hardy and Siegfried Sassoon."

Abstract
The writer of this paper examines the historic significance of the kylix which is associated with ancient Greek celebrations and feasts. A kylix and its plural kylikes are defined as shallow stemmed two-handled drinking vessels used in ancient Greece. Much thought and attention to detail went into the painting of the interior of kylikes. The representations would be covered with wine and the scenes would be visible only partially, when the wine was tipped back into the mouth and eventually fully exposed when the liquid was consumed. The kylix lent an element of surprise and discovery that was a great source of celebration to the Greeks. This paper details the various contents and representations found on kylikes. Greek revelers thanked Dionysus, the Greek god of religion, for the spirits they were enjoying. For this reason, Dionysus was often the subject depicted on these drinking drinking vessels. Descriptive stories depicted in artistic form on the kylix was common among ancient Greeks. This paper describes several stories depicted on these artistic drinking vessels including that of Apollo and Koronis.
From the Paper
"Although Dionysus' divinity is asserted, he is depicted in human form. In this way, the inhabitants of Thebes believe him to be a man while Dionysus allows himself the pleasures of mortal being. Pentheus describes Dionysus in the form of a man: "They say there came a stranger hither, a trickster and a sorcerer, from Lydia's land, with golden hair and perfumed locks, the flush of wine upon his face, and in his eyes each grace that Aphrodite gives; by day and night he lingers in our maidens' company on the plea of teaching Bacchic mysteries." This mortal nature serves two purposes: the disguise of mortal being and the pleasures of mortal being. In The Bacchantes, Euripides' representation of Greek society can be found in Pentheus. Pentheus is the epitome of Greek society: he is rational, cultured, and encourages traditional conventions."
