Abstract
During its heyday, England flew the Imperialist flag over a number of nations--India and Canada being the two most significant perhaps--and in doing so, colonized literature. The notion of Empire and all it represented was both fervently embraced and just as fervently repudiated depending on where you stood. Canadian authors of the early twentieth century were either British born, or born of British parents on Canadian soil. Imperialism, then, in one way or another permeates the novels and short stories of such authors as Sara Jeannette Duncan, Ethel Wilson and Stephen Leacock. Duncan's attitude to Imperialism is mixed, Wilson's is innate while Leacock embraces it - showing that his writing is, what is regarded by many as a "quintessentially" Canadian work.

Abstract
This paper describes the film "Little Miss Sunshine" especially the character Frank, who begins the trip to the Little Miss Sunshine Beauty Pageant as a self-loathing, depressed, suicidal genius. The paper analyzes Frank's attitude makeover from the beginning of the movie to the end. The paper relates that, through various interactions and conversations with another character Dwayne, who is a depressed Nietzsche-obsessed teenager with hatred towards everyone, Frank starts to discover that by helping Dwayne he is actually helping himself. The paper explains that, as the film concludes, Frank develops into a compassionate human being, determined to power through whatever sticky situation he and his family encounter.
From the Paper
"After Dwayne discovers that he is colorblind and is unable to become a pilot, he breaks his vow of silence in a fit of rage. This breaks down the wall between Dwayne and the rest of the family, allowing Frank to get closer to Dwayne. Frank begins conversing with Dwayne outside the Little Miss Sunshine Beauty Pageant, helping him to realize that what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. He goes on to tell Dwayne about Marcel Proust, a "total loser, never had a real job, unrequited love affairs, gay...spent 20 years writing a book that nobody reads.""

Abstract
The paper discusses how the sunshine policy which has dominated North and South Korean diplomatic policy for the last several years is a matter well-deserving of closer attention. The following paper explores what the policy is, why it came into being, how it is implemented, what its benefits and disadvantages are and how it works. The paper also explores its ramifications for the future. The paper explains that, as should become evident, the Korean sunshine policy is something which is really far more complicated than novice observers might believe at first glance. The sunshine policy is, broadly stated, a policy emphasizing the rapprochement of the two Koreas and its origins may be traced back to a 1972 Joint Communique between the two governments.

Discusses the economic, political and cultural strategy of Korea's sunshine policy.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 5 sources, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The sunshine policy is widely used to describe the entire unification policy that was designed to unify Korea and enable the country to play a stronger role in the global economy. While the actual policy had a much less interesting name, the sunshine policy covers the aspects of the cultural change that Korea went through in this policy's implementation. This essay provides an overview of the policy from the perspective of economic and political strategy as well as culture.
From the Paper
"The term "sunshine policy" is often referred to the "symbolic and ideological underpinnings" of the "engagement policy"; a strategy announced in 1998 which attempted to implement actual economic and political policies designed to move the Korean peninsula to a unified nation state (President Kim Dae-Jung's Unification Policy 58). However, the sunshine policy is also widely used to describe the entire unification policy that was designed to unify Korea and enable the country to play a stronger role in the global economy (Marquand par. 10)."

Abstract
In a discussion and analysis of the film, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", this paper explains that this film depicts the human being as a web of emotional attachment that is unconsciously tied back to the parents and interlinked in very complex ways to external objects as well as to multiple areas of the brain. The paper then goes on to examine how "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" not only conforms to attachment theory but combines that theory with cognitive-motivational structure theory.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The Rationale for the Film
The Process of Erasing Attachment
Attachment Theory and the Main Characters
Two Patterns of Attachment Theory
Communication Style
Care-seeking at the Infantile Level
Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to Wampler and Riggs (2004), the techniques of the two individuals in seeking comfort and security from one another in their relationship often are similar. This is because they can switch roles. Research indicates that the majority of partners will assume both roles and move back and forth between the roles of support and comfort-seeking during any problem-solving discussion. Clementine is quite aggressive and is the one who suggests having a drink and spending the night at Joel's place. More importantly, she knows hoe to attack his defenses. She describes him as close-mouthed and herself as constantly anxious."

From the Paper
"Frank is the brother and uncle in the family. Having recently attempted suicide unsuccessfully, he has been forced to go and live with the Hoovers, despite the fact that he has been estranged from them for some time. He is thus not looking forward to embarking on the cross-country road trip that they must undertake for the sake of daughter Olive. Like Richard and Dwayne, Frank is facing a myriad of crises. A prominent Proust scholar, he had fallen in love with one of his graduate students. The student did not respond kindly to Frank's advances, and began courting the affections of the nation's other leading Proust scholar. Frank reacted harshly and effectively lost his job at the university for speaking out of line. At that point, he attempted to commit suicide, but failed in this endeavor. He is now forced to reunite with a family he feels alienated from. If that is not enough, on the road, he encounters the object of his affection who is accompanying the other Proust professor on vacation - just as Frank is purchasing pornographic magazines on behalf of the Grandfather"

Abstract
The paper analyzes the film, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" which has a complex layers of meaning, just as the human brain is complex and layered.
From the Paper
"There have doubtless been times in most relationships that those involved have wanted to forget one event or another. More than once, those people in tumultuous relationships have no doubt said "I wish I'd never met you," or "we'd be much better off if we could forget each other completely." This movie is about a couple who can do just that. But just because they can, and want to, doesn't mean that everything goes smoothly. That lack of a smooth progression is what makes movies interesting. Good stories move on conflict, whether it is conflict from within the characters, or external conflict that moves their actions. In this case, Joel's internal conflicts set up the situation for his external conflicts. "

Abstract
The motif of light in the forms of natural light, internal radiance, atmospheric chance, etc. are explored in this paper as a resonatiing motif (concept which repeats itself throughout the novel to achieve/influence readers' perception of underlying theme) throughout "The Scarlet Letter", by Nethaniel Hawthorne.
From the Paper
"Everyone should strive to rid themselves of hidden sin to achieve freedom and happiness. Various comments regarding light and sunshine exemplify this idea; sins need to be exposed in order for people to feel released from burden in The Scarlet Letter. Everyone feels better when they share a problem with others in any society, just as the characters do in the novel. When people achieve inner peace, they can progress to a feeling of happiness and well being in their everyday lives. This motif of light in all its revealing forms is a major structural aspect of Hawthorne?s timeless novel."

British Coastal Towns, 2004.
An extensive analysis of the urban character of British coastal towns, with a focus on the towns of Hastings and Clacton On Sea.

Abstract
This paper explains that the exigencies of mass tourism have completely changed the nature of many small coastal towns in the United Kingdom. The paper contends that the study of Britain's coastline is a relatively undocumented subject in urban design theory, but the issue is becoming increasingly important as coastal and seaside towns reinvent themselves in an effort to cope with these changing tourist patterns. This paper examines two coastal community case studies, Hastings and Clacton On Sea, in relation to their urban development from small fishing villages to popular resorts with an objective to discover why one coastal town develops differently from another. The paper includes illustrations, graphic analysis and various other existing research sources to appreciate the existing situation and explores the unique characteristics of coastal towns. The study's findings and summary of the research are provided in the conclusion.

From the Paper
"The study of Britain's coastline is a relatively undocumented subject in urban design theory, but is becoming increasingly important as coastal and seaside towns reinvent themselves, time and again, to cope with changing tourist patterns. According to Page (1995), "As historic towns gain tourist potential, historic quality gains market value. A new urban society is emerging, seeking leisure, culture and a high-quality environment, and cities are moving from being industrial centres of production to becoming centres of consumption (Page 1995). For historic towns faced with limited financial opportunities, cultural tourism is seen as a significant economic alternative and the attached commercial value is turning the past into a product of the present. Today, historic towns and quarters are competing to attract tourism, and previously unknown locations are appearing on the heritage market (Orba?l?, 2000 p. 38)."

Abstract
This essay will argue the thesis that the depiction of confinement and hypocrisy in small town life in "As for Me and My Town" reflects as much the character of the narrator as an "objective" view of small town life in general. As will be seen, through this subtle way, the author both creates setting and character at the same time.

Abstract
This paper summarizes and analyzes Stephen Crane's short story, "The Blue Hotel", and explains how Crane used his own personal life experiences to create the character of the Swede in the story. The paper describes the parallels that can be drawn between the Swede's life experiences and Crane's own life experiences.
From the Paper
"The Swede is the first mentioned of three male characters that are venturing to the West. They come from the East and the Swede is by far the "wisest" of them all because he has taken the time to read the dime novels that describe in depth the dangers that exist in the wild, Wild West. The novels were highly exaggerated by propagandist type writers to help "sell" the west to adventurous types who could be lured to establish settlements and populate the area."
