"SON OF THE REVOLUTION
This research paper summarizes and comments upon the account of Liang Heng, which his American wife, Judith Shapiro helped write and translate, of what it was like to grow up in China in the period leading up to, during and right after the Great Proletarian Revolution. The book provides a devastatingly authentic portrait of what conditions were like for Heng and his family during that turbulent and confusing era. The overall message is one of hope because the efforts of the communist regime in the People's Republic of China did not succeed, if this report is at all representative, in homogenizing Chinese society to the point where basic human values died.
Early Childhood
Heng came from an ordinary family which lived in the city of ..."

Abstract
This paper assesses the validity of the author's central thesis (or arguments) in terms of his/her use of evidence, quality of reasoning, and soundness of judgment. It shows how the authors of "Son of the Revolution" tie in personal narrative, history, and social commentary to illustrate how people live in China. They attempt to give outsiders a glimpse inside Communist China, while telling the compelling story of a vibrant and sophisticated young Chinese man.
From the Paper
""Son of the Revolution" tells the sometimes emotional and always compelling story of Liang Heng, who grew up in China during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of the 1960s. It is not only one man's story of survival and gradual control of his life and his difficulties, it is the story of a people, their culture, their values, and their everyday lives.
Heng's story opens with his first memories of his schooling, and the disastrous dissolution of his parent's marriage, due to his mother's false conviction as a Rightist. His mother and father divorce to save the rest of the family from retribution. He remembers "Father often warned us against her, and if we defended her he became furious, calling us ignorant children who understood nothing" (Heng and Shapiro 11). Heng opens the story with this tale to not only illustrate how devastating it was too lose his mother at an early age, but to show how the Communist Party controlled all aspects of life in China. It could and did tear apart families simply on the word of one Party member against another, and the threat of retribution hung over an entire family if one member was accused."

Abstract
The writer notes that the faith of the Chinese in the teachings of Chairman Mao was so strong that it permeated every aspect of urban life, both private and public. Schools rang with the teachings of communist ideals and adults both feared and praised the rules imposed on them by their government. This paper examines the effects of the communist ideal on the people of China. The writer of this article states that the movement of China toward communism was a turbulent one, resulting in social disorder. By providing the reader with an often painful inside-view of the turmoil of the classes during the Great Cultural Revolution of China in his book, "Son of the Revolution", Liang Heng reveals the strength of the Chinese people at a time when China's social structure was at its weakest. This article discusses the permeation and effects of Communist ideals in Chinese society.
From the Paper
"Additionally, although the peasants did hold some amount of reverence for Mao's ideas, they did not truly understand the purpose of the Revolution; they saw only themselves having to struggle harder to support a movement that made no sense. As a movement to "Attack the Evil Winds of Capitalism" struck the countryside, for example, rural peasants were left wondering about Mao's intent for them. Liang Heng recounts a tale of a peasant who was told to destroy his ducks - a valuable commodity to a peasant and a symbol of capitalism to the Party."

Abstract
This paper describes one of the most well-known parables the "Prodigal Son" or "Lost Son" (Luke 15:11-32), which encompasses all the ideas of Christian doctrine. The author discusses the literal and the spiritual or metaphorical interpretations of the message of the story and relates the way that Franco Zeffirelli directed the telling of this parable in his movie "Jesus of Nazareth". The author concludes that Zeffirelli probably chose to include this scene in the movie as a way to visually demonstrate the response that Jesus' listeners had when incorporating the story into their own lives.
From the Paper
"Because Jesus' mission on Earth was to spread the word of God and wash away people's sins, the purpose of this particular parable is to show that even the most corrupt individual can still enter the Kingdom of Heaven if he or she places full faith in the Lord and asks to be forgiven for his or her sins. In order to be permitted to enter the Lord's Kingdom, one must trust and believe completely in the words of Jesus and the omnipotent supremacy of God over all things human and earthly."

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the history of the idea that Jesus is the Son of God and the lasting light. According to the paper, the notion of Jesus as the unique son of the divinity emerged as one of the key, theological divisions between the Christian and the Jewish belief systems of the ancient world. The paper goes on to discuss the various interpretations of the term 'Son of God'.
From the Paper
"But nowhere in the Christian Bible are there more numerous phrases in which Jesus is specifically heralded as the Son of God, than in John's Gospel. Jesus repeatedly draws attention to his relationship with God the Father in such passages as: "My Father worketh until now; and I work.... For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will. For neither doth the Father judge any man, but hath given all judgment to the Son. That all may honour the Son, as they honour the Father." (Cited by Aherene, 2002, v, 17, 20-23). John sets out the unique duties of Father and Son in this passage, and for Trinitarians, this provides evidence for the existence of a multifaceted, multi 'peopled' divinity with a Father and a Son."

Abstract
This paper examines the mother-son relationship in two plays: Hamlet and his mother, Gertrude, in "Hamlet" by Shakespeare, and Amanda and Tom in "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennessee Williams.

On the other hand, Gertrude is unable to dominate Hamlet, even though she tries. It also shows how Tom?s relationship with his mother is that of an irritated son who cannot stand his mother?s meddling, whereas Hamlet?s relationship is based on revenge and hatred.
From the Paper
"Hamlet is one of Shakespeare?s most popular tragedies written in around the 1600. The play is a melodrama of revenge, secrecy, madness and conspiracy. It revolves Hamlet, a prince of Denmark who?s life is filled with tragedy. Initially he loses his father and while on the verge of recovering from this loss, he sees his mother Gertrude, marrying his Uncle Claudius within two months of his father?s death. The shock of his mother?s behavior is unbearable for Hamlet as he goes into severe depression and termed by some as complete madness. He fails to continue his studies and because of his mental state, his mother does not allow him to leave Denmark till he is completely stable."

Abstract
A look at how, in Shelley's novel "Frankenstein", the creature has an extremely unsuccessful father-son relationship with the creature he creates. The father is appalled with what he has made and the son takes revenge on the father for having made him in the first place. It shows how in some ways this is similar to the relationship between Huckleberry Finn and his real father, the terrible drunken Pap.
From the Paper
"Frankenstein describes his relationship with his own father as perfect--up until the point where his younger brother has been born and his mother has died. Then there is a growing sense of antagonism toward his father in Frankenstein's account. He does not really wish to leave Elizabeth and the family. But his father insists that he leave for the university and when his mother died Frankenstein could only "obtain from my father a respite of some weeks" (Shelley 47). In his disappoint over leaving Frankenstein turns to the studies that interested him and begins his creation of the creature. He blames his entire later course on his father--but subtly limits the blame to his father's quick dismissal of the ancient science that was to mislead him: "If . . . my father had taken the pains to explain to me that the principles of Agrippa had been entirely exploded and that a modern system of science had . . . much greater powers . . . I should certainly have thrown Agrippa aside, and . . . it is even possible that the train of my ideas would never have received the fatal impulse that led to my ruin" (Shelley 40)."

Mother-Son Relationships, 2004.
This paper discusses the mother-son relationships in ? Hamlet?, by Shakespeare, and ? The Glass Menagerie?, by Tennessee Williams.
1,220 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reports that, in Tennessee Williams?s ?The Glass Menagerie?, Amanda is the perfect example of a loving mother who ,at the same time, suffocates her son with her constant nagging and meddling. The author points out that one of the most interesting aspects of Shakespeare?s ?Hamlet? is the extremely uncomfortable relationship between Hamlet and his mother Gertrude, who throughout the play, appears to be dominating her son by manipulating his feelings and emotions. The paper concludes that the two plays and the characters of the mothers are in contrast. In ?The Glass Menagerie?, Tom is able to brush off his mother?s domination after much struggling, whereas, in ?Hamlet?, Gertrude is unable to dominate Hamlet, even though she tries.
From the Paper
"It is obvious why Hamlet despises his mother so much. Overall, her dominance over him and her betrayal to his father makes Hamlet seek revenge on her. Hamlet appears to be an emotionally charged individual who thinks more from his heart than his head. He sees her marrying his uncle soon after his father?s death and realizes how little his father actually had meant to his mother. He is appalled at his mother?s sexual behavior and seeks revenge because of his anger at her. His mother to him is a liar, an unfaithful liar."

"All My Sons", 2008.
An analysis of the themes in "All My Sons," written by Arthur Miller.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the father-son conflict between the characters of Joe Keller and Chris Keller in "All My Sons," written by Arthur Miller. The paper shows how Miller uses this conflict to progress and refine his theme that men are responsible for their actions and their fellow brother's actions. It discusses the reasons for the conflict and what it comes to teach the reader.
From the Paper
"The conflict between the two characters, Joe Keller and Chris Keller, arises for two reasons. The first reason is that Joe Keller represents the old generation, in his realistic and practical thinking, as apposed to Chris Keller's romantic and idealistic way of thinking. Another reason for conflict is that Joe Keller puts his family before anything else and sticks to securing the father image and paternal responsibility at home. Joe is a survivalist and sees that the security of his family is the most important thing. Chris on the other hand believes that having a solid connection with the outside world beyond the individual family is more ideal way of life. Chris Keller is one who will sacrifice for the greater good of mankind. Joe Keller represents the people who stayed in America during the war and Chris represents the veterans of the war. Ultimately there is a generation gap at the basis of this conflict."

Genesis: The Sons of God, 2005.
Research study examining "The Sons of God", who they were, and what was their purpose.

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of the "Sons of God". Specifically, it explores and argues that the "Sons of God" in Genesis 6 are human by using the following verses as background on the subject: Deuteronomy 9:18; Joshua 7:6; Psalm 112; Genesis 4:26; Numbers 13:33; and Job 1:6, 2:1.
From the Paper
"They were the Sons of God in that they had some of the mighty traits of their Father, but in the end, they still fell like any other human. In fact, earlier in Genesis, in 4:26, the writer notes that "men began to call upon the name of the Lord" ("Holy Bible" 3), thus, even before the Sons of God make an appearance, men have begun calling upon him, and calling him their Father. Numbers 13:33 refers again to this race of giants who later disappeared. "And there we saw the giants, the sons of Amak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight" ("Holy Bible" 123). This reference comes after the reference to the "Sons of God" in Genesis, but seems to refer to the same race of "larger than life" men that God sent to the world, then found to be weak and full of sin."

The Father/Son Struggle in Neoclassic Literature, 2001.
A discussion of the timelessness of the father/son struggle as seen through Neoclassic literature, with a look at similarities and differences between the struggles today.

Abstract
The work chooses several neoclassic works to demonstrate the timeless phenomenon of the struggle between father and son. The problematic relationship between father and son is therefore timeless and although there are differences between the various struggles, similarities also exist.
From the Paper
"Throughout time there has existed a constant struggle between fathers and sons, almost as a right of passage into manhood. Many literary works have addressed this very issue either directly or as a means to assist in the development of a story or to establish things such as tone and setting. I have chosen to discuss three such relationships from selected works derived from the Neoclassicism era. I will compare and contrast these relationships and show the effect each had on the selected work. The three dyads are Orgon and Damis from Jean-Baptist Moliere?s Tartuffe, Theseus and Hippolytus, from Jean Racine?s Phaedre, and finally Bao-yu and Jia Zheng from Cao Xueqin?s Story of the Stone."

Jesus, God the Son.
This paper uses biblical sources to discuss Jesus, God the Son.
2,925 words (approx. 11.7 pages), 7 sources, APA, $ 86.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, as the Second Adam, Jesus re-enacted the scene in the Garden of Eden and reversed the choice of the First Adam through perfect obedience to God, the Father, who came into the world without the curse of sin, which has passed from Adam down to the last mortal, by being conceived of the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Divine Trinity and born of a virgin, Mary of Nazareth. The author points out that Jesus speaks of God, the Father, as His Father in a most distinct way. God is the Father of others in that He is of the same nature as His Father, His divine sonship being clearly recorded in the Synoptic Gospels. The paper relates that every mortal is confronted with a choice to accept or reject the offer of salvation by Jesus Christ, who claims to be the Son of God and God the Son; the choice involves everlasting happiness or everlasting punishment, and it is not a mere option that can be rationalized.
From the Paper
"In the company of His first disciples, Jesus walked on the sea, calmed the storm and cast out demons (Mark 6:47-50, Mark 1:23-28, 4:35-41). After 40 days and 40 nights of fasting in the wilderness, Jesus was tempted by the devil to prove that He is the Son of God by turning stones into bread and hurling Himself down from the top of a temple (Matt 4:4-6). He preached that men should come to God trustingly as little children, "for such is the kingdom of God (Mark 10:13-16)." He taught obedience to God the Father from His own example of perfect obedience, even to the point of dying on the cross (Philippians 2:8), as His part in the divine plan, for which alone He became flesh."
