Abstract
This paper describes the differences between Sherwood Anderson, an American author, and Sir Francis Seymour Haden, a British artist. It compares their major works and discuses three main similarities between them.
From the Paper
"Sherwood Anderson is a well-known archetype of an American torn between success and creativity. He walked out of his office as president of his own manufacturing company in Ohio, not only giving up a dream of becoming rich in American business, but also abandoning his responsibilities as a husband and a father. He gave up business for literature. Winesburg, Ohio and The Egg and Other Stories are good examples of how he incorporated his own dramatic life experiences into his writing. Sir Francis Seymour Haden was a successful doctor, and found that his amateur etching helped discipline his hand for surgery. Haden continued with his hobby until it helped him to become one of the best landscape etchers of all time. Realism is the attempt, in literature and art, to depict life as it actually exists. Sherwood Anderson and Sir Francis Seymour Haden use themes of solitude, self-reflection, and nature to portray realism. "

Abstract
This paper focuses on the opening pages of "The New Atlantis", explaining that it is an account of a long voyage across the Pacific as well as a brief introduction to two different peoples - the sailors on the one hand and the Bensalemites on the other. Additionally, the paper is a textual analysis of the work that examines the devices employed to generate doubt and uncertainty, and therefore, suspense.
From the Paper
"The beginning of the New Atlantis is, on the first place, an account of a long voyage across the Pacific, undertaken by a crew of 51 sailors. At the same time, it serves as a brief introduction to two different peoples - the sailors on the one hand and the Bensalemites on the other. The passage also presents the narrator's first impressions of the newly discovered island of Bensalem. In addition, the opening passage of the New Atlantis is more than a simple description of an adventure which begins at sea and is triggered by a tempest. The phrase "We sailed from Peru" not only establishes the nature of the story one is about to read but also plunges the reader into a hasty and unexpected departure. "We" are caught unprepared for an adventure that tosses both reader and characters into a peculiar setting, where complete loss of orientation, purpose and identity melt together to form the basis of a questioning about the real purpose of the text."

Abstract
This paper explains that Drake is best remembered for battling the Spanish and being the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe. The author points out that Drake, called El Draque, meaning ?the dragon?, by the Spanish, is best known for his piracy of Spanish settlements and ships and his role in defeating the Spanish Armada. The paper describes Drake's adventure through the Strait of Magellan and into the Pacific Ocean to claim areas of North America, called Nova Albion, for Queen Elizabeth; the area included most of Washington, all of Oregon, and a sliver of California.
From the Paper
"Sir Francis Drake was Vice Admiral of the English fleet fighting the Spanish Armada. During the Battle of Gravelines, on July 29, 1588 the Armada was defeated by an English naval force under the command of Lord Charles Howard and Sir Francis Drake off the coast of Gravelines, France. Prior to the battle, Drake is said to have been playing a game of bowls. On being warned of the approach of the Spanish fleet, Drake reportedly remarked that there was plenty of time to finish the game and still beat the Spaniards. The English later defeated the Spanish on August 4 off Dorset with a fleet under the command of Lord Howard of Effingham and Sir Francis Drake. The final battle between the English and the Spanish was off the coast of Flanders and resulted in Spanish retreat."

Abstract
This paper examines and reviews the imagery in Sherwood Anderson's short story "Hands," which offers a glimpse of small town life in America's Midwest. The writer of this also paper discusses and details the plot of the novel and the main character Wing Biddlebaum, who's described by Anderson as a poor little man, beaten, pounded and frightened by the world.
From the Paper
"One can tell from the imagery beginning with the decaying porch, that there was not much use fixing the place up. It was home, for whatever it looked like, to this nervous little bald man. Winesburg surely had, as most small Midwestern towns did, a sort of pecking order. There were the affluent, with fertile fields, or grain and feed stores, bankers and other businessmen who foreclosed loans and sold over-priced goods to their regular customers, while winning them over with the smiles."

From the Paper
"This research will examine Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio and Edgar Lee Masters's Spoon River Anthology, with a focus on the narrative of tension between the culture of small-town America and the culture of the wide world, and the bias both Anderson and Masters appear to have toward the latter rather than the former. The research will set forth the context in which the narrative pattern of each of the works emerges and discuss the pattern of ideas of each work in general terms, together with the means by which the theme of felt tension in (and advocacy of escape from) the narrowness of small-town life is developed in each.
Spoon River Anthology and Winesburg, Ohio are roughly contemporary literary works and similar in several ways, both as publishing products and as observed records of their milieu. Each work.."

Abstract
This paper details the public life of Thomas Seymour, from the marriage of his sister Jane to King Henry VIII, to his execution for treason during the reign of Henry's son, Edward VI. Seymour's marriage to Henry VIII's widow, Catharine Parr, his relationship with his brother, the lord protector, his scandalous conduct with the future Elizabeth I and his corruption as Lord Admiral are all explored.
From the Paper
"To this end Seymour had already begun upon a course of systematic bribery of the men of Edward's privy chamber, so that he might have access to the King and bribe him in turn. Seymour began to keep Edward supplied with pocket money, sums of five or ten pounds at a time, sometimes more. This money was delivered via John Fowler, Seymour's "inside man" in the Privy Chamber, with whose help Seymour was able to gain access to the King, albeit intermittently. Whenever he could, Seymour suggested that Somerset should be providing Edward enough money to be independent, and encouraged Edward to write to him if Somerset did not. Edward did so; in all, Seymour spent nearly ?200 on Edward and his household -ironically, the same sum left him by Edward's father. Encouraged, Seymour went so far as to consider abducting the King, although that scheme did not go far."

Francis Bacon, 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that Sir Francis Bacon?s life goals and his worldview were threefold and included the discovery of truth, the welfare of his country, and the reform of religion. The author points out that Bacon began and ended his career during a time of transition; the Church of England was under scrutiny for the degeneration of its officials and reformers, and the Puritans desired to abolish them completely. The paper relates that, in a sense, much of Bacon?s work went unfinished because his thoughts were shortened by his searching for perfection and by his resistance to the concrete.
From the Paper
"In Bacon?s perceived perfect society of New Atlantis, all men were called to follow the rules of a supremely fair society and live within these confines to better repay the gratitude of others. It would seem that this could be contrary to his earlier designs, yet the truth is that the society, with supremely fair standards would be one to follow the rules in. The society, which the explorers happened upon, where of Christina morals, without the restrictive resistance to change that, can be found in the religions of Bacon?s day and the present. They are open to change and revel in the past creations of technology."

Abstract
This examines the life and ministry of St. Francis of Assisi to determine whether he was a heretic. St. Francis of Assisi was named the patron saint of ecologists by Pope John Paul II in 1983 due to his love of animals and all creation. It looks at how some may argue that St. Francis of Assisi was a heretic, since they have trouble accepting the concept that he blessed all creations, including animals, although most people believe that St. Francis was a gentle man who loved all creations and worked at being a peacemaker.

From the Paper
"Many religious orders feel that when statements or beliefs that are known lies are ignored, the silence will eventually lead to a perception of fact. There have been ?small variations on the thinking of the early church and the truths Jesus proclaimed, and presently there are some denominations that would label St. Francis of Assisi a heretic, one who worshipped nature rather than the Creator of nature simply on the grounds of his words ?Brother Sun, Sister Moon? (www.soulfoodministry.org/docs/English/WalkWithJesusSixthWeek.htm).? These orders believe followers are duty bound to break down barriers and differences with the truth."

Abstract
This paper examines how the main character, Francis Macomber, epitomizes a code hero in Ernest Hemingway's "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber". It explains how Ernest Hemingway developed his own personal view of a hero, also known as his code hero. The writer suggests that the traits in Hemingway's code hero that Macomber demonstrates are grace under pressure,and the ability to face death and overcome fear. The writer further discusses how the protagonist - Francis Macomber - grows and develops into a code hero by the end of the story.
From the Paper
"Critics consider Ernest Hemingway one of the most famous American writers with his simplistic writing style. He also developed his own personal view of a hero in his writings, also known as his code hero. Hemingway's view of a code hero is a man who lives his life with honor and courage but is surrounded by a painful and chaotic environment. In one of Hemingway's stories, "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber," the main character, Francis Macomber, exemplifies a code hero. Francis Macomber, at the start of the story, is far from a code hero as he is shown as a cowardly hunter. At the end of the story, he attains code hero as he portrays the qualifying attributes such as grace under pressure, facing death, and overcoming fear."

Abstract

It explains that Saint Francis of Assisi is still one of the most popular and well-known saints of the Catholic Church. It shows how today, many people know him as the saint representing animals and the land.
From the Paper
"Saint Francis' real name was Francesco di Pietro Bernardone. He was born in Assisi in 1181. His father was a well-to-do cloth merchant, and Francis' young life was spent in the normal pursuits of the time, including education at the local church school, dreams of chivalry and knighthood, women, celebrations, and an early love of hunting and nature. He learned his father's trade, and was happy to "one day becoming a bachelor, a squire and finally a knight." However, as he grew older he felt an increasing need to follow God's word. He made several pilgrimages to religious capitals such as Rome, and he forced himself to overcome his fear and loathing of the less fortunate, such as lepers, as he began to see the goodness in all God's creatures. In 1206, at a small, destitute church near Assisi, San Damiano, Francis heard the word of God speak to him. He began to try to raise money to help repair the church, and to help in his cause, he took some of his father's most valuable merchandise and sold it along with his horse, then gave all the funds to the priest at San Damiano."

Abstract
John Moormans' book, "Saint Francis of Assisi", is a detailed look into the life and accomplishments of Francesco Bernardone, better known as Saint Francis, from his youth until his death in 1226. This paper looks into the background of the author John Moorman, provides a thorough summary of the book and relates the book's meaning to today's society.
From the Paper
"From today's prospective, Saint Francis of Assisi's literal extremist message would probably not sit well with modern society. Our society is built on capitalism and money; personal possessions are looked upon as requirements. Although Saint Francis' message is inspiring and noble, it does not make practical sense and is too harsh in many areas. People need to handle money, have a house or shelter of their own, and buy their own food. It is utterly amazing in my point of view that Saint Francis was able to survive his lifestyle."

Abstract
This paper argues that director Francis Ford Coppola demonstrates in his film, "Apocalypse Now" that those who kill are no better than those who they kill, if those who are killed are devalued solely because they are portrayed as the inferior "other."
From the Paper
"The Vietnam War was one of the most divisive conflicts in American history. Within the controversy was the question of how many people one has to kill before one becomes a killer. Such valuations are often ignored because of ethnocentrism and the creation of an other, an other that is devalued in order to justify the destruction of life in combat. As Windschuttle argues, the construction of identity in every age and every society involves established opposites and others. This happens because the development..."
