Abstract
This paper looks at how an examination of Stella's reactions and decisions at key points in the play "A Streetcar Named Desire" shows her to be a pragmatist who has long ago given up the "beautiful dream" of her sister Blanche. It also examines how neither Stella nor her relationship with Stanley change greatly during the story even though Stella's ties to Stanley and the stability of their tumultuous marriage are confirmed and reinforced.
From the Paper
"Stella's decision to maintain the status quo is reinforced by her reaction to Stanley's cruel birthday gift to Blanche. After Blanche runs to the bedroom vomiting, Stella merely says to him, "You didn't need to do that. ... Why did you do this to her?" (p. 111). As Stanley begins to justify his behavior, Stella's "look goes suddenly inward as if some interior voice had called her name" (p. 111). This "voice" turns out to be her unborn child, as she has entered labor. Just as Williams emphasizes Stella's maternity after Stanley's physical abuse, the baby's impending birth here aborts any chance of change in their marital relationship."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts two very great men in American history: W.E.B. DuBois and Abraham Lincoln. Each of these historical figures left their mark on American society by questioning dogma and by speaking against what they felt was wrong. Their views were highly critical of the accepted norms of their days and therefore they each suffered public criticisms. The paper shows that DuBois' personal philosophies got him labeled as a socialist and Abraham Lincoln was assassinated because of his views. The paper examines some of Dubois' works such as: 'Souls of Black Folk', 'Darkwater', 'The Evolution of the Race Problem' and others. The paper also reviews some of Lincoln's, published ideas on the political struggles he faced as they related to slavery and racism.
From the Paper
"Lincoln provided the means for emancipation from slavery and it cost him his life. Few individuals know however that the Emancipation Proclamation actually did not free the slaves immediately. This is because the president did not have the constitutional authority to free the slaves other than those slaves in states where it was deemed a military necessity to suppress rebellion. Lincoln also was a shrewd politicain who fully understood that freeing the slaves was risky politically because there were still slave states that were loyal to the union and the main purpose of the war was to preserve the union - not to emancipatre the slaves."

Abstract
This paper is a review of the collection of essays in W.E.B. Dubois' "The Souls of Black Folk." The writer presents a short biography of William Edward Burghart Dubois, who was active in the civil rights movement and is identified as one of the most influential black intellectuals of the last century. Dubois' life experiences influenced his political and personal agenda and set him aside from other black leaders of his time. The book includes chapters on the civil rights movement and the history of the American Negro, with most of its content being influenced by his own experiences.
From the Paper
"The Souls of Black Folk was first published in 1903 with Dubois declaring in the foreword ?the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line,? (The Souls, ?Forethought,? p. 1) and setting the stage for a groundbreaking treatise on the condition and soul of the black community. It is interesting to look at what the critics and the white community thought of the book at the time. In a review published in the New York Times on April 23, 1903, the reviewer attacks Dubois? credentials for understanding the Southern black folks, as he was a black man of northern education who could not feel what the Southerners (Black or White) felt. The reviewer concluded that the fundamental attitude (of the whites about blacks) was the product of conditions prevailing over centuries and was comparable to the attitude of the gentry over the peasantry in other countries. (Quoted by Rydell, 1996)."

From the Paper
"Du Bois and the Niagara Movement did not last very long. They could not get a mass group of African Americans to follow and support their agenda. After the fall of the Niagara Movement, Du Bois joined the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peopled). Members of the NAACP were from various backgrounds. There were African American members, white members, and even Jewish members. Unlike the UNIA, the main focus of Du Bois and the NAACP was to formulate plans on providing legal enforcement for African American Constitutional Rights. "

Abstract
This paper analyzes the main points of the Niagara Conference address given by W.E.B. Dubois in 1906. The paper discusses how by actively promoting a non-violent campaign to help other black intellectuals and political leaders raise themselves through education and class consciousness, Dubois is able to develop a plan to bring down the institutions of racism that existed in the early 20th century.
From the Paper
"This African American study will analyze the critical points of the Niagara Conference, which was formed by such leaders as W.E.B Dubois to combat racism in America. In his address to his fellow members, he states five points on the equality of blacks, which are not being observed by white legal and political authorities. Furthermore, he expresses the theme of non-violence to combat racism through education, class status and humanity. These are the basics adjuncts to the address, and why it is a critical statement on the hypocrisy of racial equality in America and the human rights issues at the turn of the 19th century."

Dubois and Ruiz' "Unequal Sisters", 2007.
This paper reviews the feminist book "Unequal Sisters: A Multicultural Reader in U.S. Women's History", edited by Ellen Carol Dubois and Vicki Ruiz.

Abstract
This paper explains that Dubois and Ruiz in their book "Unequal Sisters: A Multicultural Reader in U.S. Women's History', which is a compilation of a multiplicity of perspectives of feminist historians of a variety of periods, ethnic groups and racial groups, attempt to ameliorate some of the past oversights of the women's rights movement that denied the equally important components of race and ethnicity in defining many women's lives. The author points out that, for women of color, their struggle to make peace with themselves and with their American identities cannot be fully subsumed into the traditional feminist categories of gender or race. The paper relates that this collection of essays instead argues for a relational understanding of the nature of race and gender, which means that each person is composed of categories, such as male/female, Anglo/Latino, that gain meaning only in the inter-relationship of these categories.
From the Paper
"The essays include a number of ethnic groups, including African-American, Latina-American, Chicanas, Asian-Americans, and Native Americans in their subject matter. Early on, it becomes clear that the lives of black women in particular were written out the second-wave feminist debate. While many white feminists of the 1960s and 1970s such as Betty Friedan (1963) defined their feminism as an ideology that gave them the intellectual justification to seek work outside the home, most Black women have always worked, either as slaves, as noted by Deborah Gray White's essay on "Female Slaves: Sex Roles and Status in the Antebellum South" and Jeanne Boydston's "To Earn her Daily Bread"."

Abstract
This paper discusses how no two characters in fiction symbolize the qualities of the neurotic, upper class Southern woman more than Tennessee Williams? Blanche DuBois in ?A Streetcar Named Desire? and Daisy Buchanan in F. Scott Fitzgerald?s ?The Great Gatsby.? It demonstrates how although different in many respects, both women are tragic contemporary figures of American literature.
From the Paper
"Blanche has had a rather tragic that has left her emotionally starved and on the verge of a breakdown. She married at a young age, only to discover her husband was bi-sexual and when confronted committed suicide. This has haunted her and led her to numerous sexual partners, nameless faces actually. She was forced to sell the plantation due to the funeral bills from her parents? death. Now Blanche is essentially a pathetic middle-aged alcoholic pretending she is wealthier, younger and more beautiful than she has become. The pain of her past keeps Blanche from living in reality, however, she is aware of how she looks and shies from any direct light."

Abstract
Both ex-slave W.E.B. DuBois and twentieth century author Richard Wright assess the nature of race relations in their respective eras and the desire on the part of blacks to become more a part of American society. The paper shows that both see education as a key element in the advancement of the black population, but they also see a number of obstacles even for those who have attained an education.
From the Paper
"It is clear that most groups within America want to be part of American society in some way and do not want to remain separate. They yearn for inclusion but may find rejection or the placing of obstacles in their path. The groups experiencing the greatest difficulty in being included may be those of a different race from the majority. Blacks have been at a particular disadvantage because racial differences stand out and make it that much easier for members of this group to be discriminated against and marked for exclusion from full participation in America society. The writings of ex-slaves such as W.E.B. DuBois showed both the underlying desire on the part of blacks to be included and to have full rights and the obstacles they encountered in trying to attain this goal."

Blanche Dubois and Daisy Buchanan, 2002.
A comparison of these two female protagonists from "A Streetcar Named Desire" (Tennessee Williams) and "The Great Gatsy" (F. Scott Fitzgerald), respectively.

Abstract
Blanche Dubois and Daisy Buchanan are two main characters in literature. Blanche is the main character in Tennessee Williams' play "A Streetcar Named Desire" and Daisy is the main character in F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby". An analysis of these two characters in this paper shows that while they are similar based on their upbringing and their need to hide from reality, they are opposites on all other fronts, including how their upbringing has influenced them, what they are concerned with, how they experience love, whether they are willing to make sacrifices, whether they are able to let go of the past and how their problems are resolved.
From the Paper
"Another difference in the two characters is how they experience love. Daisy appears to be incapable of love. While she does claim to have loved Gatsby in their past, she quickly forgets him when he goes to war and she begins seeing other men. She also claims to love him in the present but when it comes the time to make a decision, she chooses Tom because he has wealth. In addition, she allows Gatsby to take the blame when she runs over Myrtle Wilson and does not even attend Gatsby's funeral. These are all signs that Daisy does not feel love, but only experiences love based on how it benefits her. Blanche is almost the complete opposite. She feels love deeply, to the point where she cannot let go of the love she feels for her husband Stanley."

From the Paper
"This paper explores the topic of religious melancholia as a culture-bound illness in which one feels forsaken by God. It next examines writings by W. E. B. DuBois for evidence that he suffered from this condition. Finally, it examines DuBois? concept of ?double consciousness,? in order to present an argument that it arose from his psychological state of religious melancholia.
Religious melancholy is explored in depth by Rubin. In his Preface, Rubin explains and defines religious melancholia as follows:
Melancholy here refers to an affect, a distinctive stance toward life, a grieving over the loss of God?s love, and an obsession and psychopathology associated with the spiritual itinerary of conversion. The religious melancholiac desired, above.."

From the Paper
"In W.E.B. Du Bois' The Souls of Black Folk , we find a wrenching contradiction between the reality of blacks as the author paints it in all its desperation and suffering and injustice, and the hope and optimism which he maintains with respect to the future of the nation, black and white.
As John Edgar Wideman writes in his Introduction to the book, the situation about which Du Bois wrote has not improved substantially, as of 1990, in Wideman's view. Wideman writes that "Nothing has changed, and perhaps never will. I'm chilled and angered by that thought. Anger fades into fear, fear for my children, yours. I'm left with little hope, echo the sentiment Du Bois weaves into the Afterthought of Souls, a wish conveying more longing than conviction: 'In Thy good time may infinite reason turn the tangle straight'" (Du Bois xvi)."

Abstract
This paper is a creative history paper that focuses on the history of France and the French Revolution. The writer was assigned to write the paper in the first person, assuming he was living during the time period of the French Revolution. Although creatively written, it is thoroughly researched and historically accurate.
From the Paper
"I was born on November 21, 1815, one day following The Second Peace of Paris. This event unfortunately deprived France of a number of strategic posts in the north and east, and left France in an unfortunate situation, which required the country to pay a war indemnity of 700 million francs ? a heavy burden. At this time Louis XVIII was the King of France. My parents had explained to me that it was the bourgeoisie who had been the chief gainers from the Revolution. It was they who had been the largest purchasers of the lands confiscated by the Revolution and, they were now content to live on the revenues of these estates, thus forming a new class of landed gentry. My grandfather, along with my parents purchased large amounts of land during this period. The Loire Valley, is an exceptional area to produce wine- a successful cash crop because it is an area with superior communications, and the wine is easily marketed by river..."
