Abstract
This paper analyses Hagar and Jason Currie's ideological positions in "The Stone Angel". Using Patricia Marchak's work, the paper argues that Hagar and Jason both very much represent capitalist and individualist values. Jason is a firm believer in the puritan work ethic, holding that people must simply work hard and take individual responsibility for their own lives. Hagar also represents a strong individualistic ethic, for she refuses to depend on anyone but herself in her confrontation with old age and death.

Abstract
The paper examines the novel, "The Stone Angel", by Margaret Laurence. It provides a commentary on the troubled life of a woman who is nearing the end of her long life. Hagar did not live a normal life, as she had to live through more than her own share of tragedies in her ninety years on Earth.
From the Paper
"Although it is too late for her to do anything about it, Hagar has realized that maybe part of her did not want to be completely independent all the time. Maybe part of her wanted to be able to rely on someone else at some point in her life. Her stubborn life, which she mistook for strength, was not the type of life that she truly should have been living. She was able to refrain from crying at the funerals of both of her brothers, her father, and her former husband, which she found to be quite odd. It was her way of showing strength in a time when most people would be showing weakness."

"The Stone Angel", 2005.
Examines tragic elements in this book by Margaret Laurence.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Margaret Laurence's "The Stone Angel", is the story of Hagar, a woman who is forced to face the reality of getting older. The paper questions whether it is enough to suggest that this book is a tragedy, simply because one of the central themes of the book was the journey Hagar took towards death.
From the Paper
"Another definition of tragedy could be where a person, like Hagar could actually go through their whole life determined to live life in one way or another, only to realize on their deathbed that perhaps aspects of their life could have been handled differently and that maybe if the central character had acted differently then maybe the rest of his or her life could have been more happy. Hagar clearly did overcome all of the obstacles in her life but by the time she had to accept the help of others (rather ungraciously at times), her life was effectively over and she did not have the chance to make any changes in the way she related to others."

Abstract
This paper considers the theme of pride in two literary works, the play "The Cherry Orchard" by Anton Chekhov and the novel "The Stone Angel" by Margaret Laurence.

From the Paper
"The theme of pride is common in literature, with pride being one of the seven deadly sins in the Christian conception and an example of a fatal flaw in the Greek view in classical literature. This theme is treated differently by different authors and even in different types of literature. The theme is embodied in the play 'The Cherry Orchard' by Anton Chekhov in the way the characters are portrayed and in the attitudes they take toward their status in society, and it is treated by novelist Margaret Laurence in 'The Stone Angel' through her characters and the way they show pride to be both constructive and destructive..."

Review and Discussion
Can Humans Become Angels?
Duty or Purpose of Angels
Angelic Interaction with People from Genesis to Revelation
Should Angels be Worshipped or Prayed To?
How Should Humanity Live in the Light of this Doctrine
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The primary function of angels is to praise and serve God and do his will. This is true of angels in both Christianity and Zoroastrianism, as well as in Judaism and Islam. The purpose of angels in the early accounts appears to be connected with the views of theologians who recognized the need for human forms and voices to convey the presence of the unseen God. ?In these stories, it is through angels that divine help comes to men. Abraham could promise his servant, about to set out on his search for a wife for Isaac, that ?the Lord, the God of heaven . . . will send his angel with you . . . and prosper your way?? (Genesis, chapter 24). Similarly, in his dream at Bethel, Jacob saw ?a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven, and behold the angels of God were ascending and descending on it,? suggesting that a primary purpose of angels was to deliver earthly news to heaven, thereby confirming their responsibilities as messengers (Genesis, chapter 28)."

Conclusion/Further Thoughts
From the Paper
"Belief in Angels is ultimately an act of faith because Angels are, in Pope John Paul II's words, "not proper to the visible world." However, their invisibility does not preclude their de facto existence, according to Catholic doctrine. Angels are presumed to exist, as they were created by God no differently than God created mankind. Their occasional appearance in bodily form may serve as some sort of proof for their existence, as does their presence throughout scripture. Catholic doctrine explicitly avers the existence of Angels, though they may be unseen. Angels exist in "truth," and their existence has been upheld by the Fourth Lateran Council as well as the First Vatican Council (Pope John Paul II). Therefore belief in Angels can be considered central to Catholic faith."

"Please God! Help me!" cried Chantal Lakey when he lost his footing on the Oregon coast. Then he saw a cloud of angels that helped him to climb down the mountain (Woodward and Underwood 52). Statistics show that many people believe in angels. "While the portion of Americans who believe in God has remained relatively steady at upward of 90 percent, increasing numbers of Americans also believe in heaven, hell, angels and the devil" (Rising Belief 14). More women believe in angels than men with the statistics showing 84% of women believing in angels compared to 72% of men (Rising Belief 14). People have reported that angels have protected them and guided them throughout difficult times. Are these reports true? Are angels real? When were angels created? What duties do they have?"

Abstract
This paper explains that the increased emotional impact of "Intensive Care" was a result of the better developed characters, the informal and engaging tone, the conflict with a realistic ending, and the powerful theme. The author points out that Malamud does not provide the same background to the relationship that Smith did, which prevents the story from involving one emotionally to the same degree as "Intensive Care." The paper explains that the conflicts of the two stories are interesting because they are both very similar, while having very different outcomes.
From the Paper
"Both their characters are then revealed further by describing their relationship, including their meeting back in high school and then their more recent relationship. This creates a love story between them which is effective at holding the reader's interest. One of the interesting things about the story is that Cherry is the character who creates the most interest, despite her remaining in the hospital bed the whole story. She is the least active character and yet the most interesting. Her energy for life is expressed throughout and I found myself wanting to see the world the way she did. Harold then becomes the character that the reader is journeying with. Harold is struggling with the idea of losing Cherry and the reader can understand why this would be such a loss for him."

" THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ANGELS
Introduction
Survey research indicates that substantial numbers of Americans believe in angels. For example, in a survey conducted by ABC News and the Washington Post (1994) on a national sample of 1,523 people, it was estimated that approximately 75 percent of the American public believed in angels; belief was not found to vary with ethnicity or political party.
There was some slight variance with respect to educational background, annual income, political ideology, age and gender; however, in all categories the numbers of believers remained high. Moreover, in another poll conducted by CBS News in 1993, the numbers were even higher with over 80 percent of the public not only believing in angels but believing that they personally.."

Film: Oliver Stone's "JFK" (1991), 2007.
An analysis of the facts presented in the film "JFK", by filmmaker Oliver Stone, regarding the autopsy of President John F. Kennedy after his assassination.
1,005 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in the political docudrama "JFK", Oliver Stone asserts that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone, that the F.B.I. had a vested interest in hiding important information from the public and that the C.I.A. had an active role in the assassination in hopes of fueling the military industrial complex of the United States. The paper further explains that, in the film, Stone attempts to make viewers conscience of the possible tampering of evidence and lack of investigation into the murder of the president. The author stresses that Oliver Stone does not want his viewers to accept all of the events portrayed in the film. Rather, Stone directed this film to act as a "counter-myth" in reaction to the "myth" he believes the Warren Commission Report fed the public. The paper stresses that Stone's accusation that the Archives somehow lost the brain, which it did not, affects the viewer's understanding of what actually happened.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the most shocking claim that Oliver Stone makes in his film in relation to the autopsy is that John F. Kennedy's brain has been lost by the National Archives. This particular claim arose in 1972 when pathologist Cyril Wecht was allowed to examine the Kennedy autopsy records at the National Archives. Wecht tried to open the footlocker where the stainless steel container and microscopic tissue slides were held, only to notice that they were gone. Wecht then blames the Archives for losing an important piece of physical evidence due to negligence and carelessness."
