Abstract
This paper reviews Suzanne Lebsock's book 'A Murder in Virginia'. According to the paper, the book is a fascinating historical account of a horrendous murder committed in Virginia in 1895. The paper discusses how, with a combination of story-telling skills and extensive research, Lebsock recounts not only the facts of the murder and its aftermath but also the culture of the community in which the murder took place. In the process, she provides a believable and three-dimensional picture of what rural Southern life was really like following the Reconstruction from both the Black and Caucasian points of view.
From the Paper
"As Lebsock says on p. 18, "Time and time again in the Lunenburg case, people acted bravely and against type." She gives remarkable examples. Marable was quickly found guilty and sentenced to hang. His execution was delayed only so he could testify against the three women he said had helped him kill Lucy Pollard. Soldiers guarded Marable and the three accused women. Who had been escorted out of town under cover of darkness while a local politician spoke at length, delaying any mob action (p. 54). The very real risk of lynching continued for some time. A substantial number of people believed that lynching was sometimes an appropriate response to a court system that sometimes failed to convict obviously guilty people and sometimes did not mete out harsh enough penalties (p. 177). In fact, the first convictions of the three women initially implicated by Marable were overturned, and the state was going to have to try them again, just the kind of event that fueled those who saw lynching as ever appropriate.

Abstract
This paper examines how Suzanne Lebsock's "A Murder in Virginia" presents a glimpse into post-Civil War Southern justice and how the book recounts the events surrounding a murder case in 1895 Lunenburg County, Virginia, in a rather unique manner. It looks at how Lebsock chooses to approach the criminal topic with a style that is a narrative concerning actual events, people, and situations portrayed with particularly artful considerations.
From the Paper
"Lebsock appears to refrain from implicating a character in the murder as the main events of the story unfold. Like the witnesses present at the trials, it is not made abundantly clear who the murderer is. Yet, in twenty-first century retrospect, a number of facts become evident that perhaps escaped the minds of many over a century ago; so ensconced in the social stereotypes and practices of the time. One of the characters who is first implicated in the murder of Lucy Jane Pollard is Mary Barnes-a local woman who often helps Mr. Pollard in the fields. The centerpiece to the case against Mary Barnes is the testimony of Solomon Marable."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of Suzanne Valadon as an artist and her personal life. Suzanne Valadon was a well-known Post-Impressionist painter whose paintings of women were especially well-received. It states that she had no specific art training, but became a prolific artist after working as a painter's model.
From the Paper
"Suzanne Valadon was born in 1865 in Bessines-sur-Gartempe, near Limoges, France. Her mother was not married when Valadon was born, and supported the family by her work as a laundress and taking in occasional sewing. Valadon began working early, and worked in the circus as an acrobat until she was sixteen, when she fell off a trapeze and decided to find a safer occupation. She soon began to model for some of the famous French painters making a name for themselves in Paris, such as Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. "Beautiful, impudent and lively, she attracted attention among the artists -Renoir admired her lustrous skin, Puvis de Chavannes her slender hands, Lautrec her looks, detecting a hint of sadness and depravity beneath her radiant youth" (Lake & Maillard, 1956, p. 303). After modeling for a while, Valadon began to pay attention to the painters around her, and their techniques. She had an illegitimate son, Maurice Utrillo, when she was eighteen, and this caused her to begin to think about another change of careers. She stopped posing for other artists, and began her own art career. She first began with drawings, and then moved on to etchings for a while. Finally, she settled on drawing and painting."

Abstract
This paper looks at the Suzanne Somers diet and what it entails. The paper looks at its scientific and medical validity, costs, and whether or not it is hazardous to health. Additionally, the paper examines whether it is a good diet to recommend for weight loss.
From the Paper
"The Suzanne Somers diet is not very well explained even in her book, according to all the reviews. Her descriptions of the program are very vague and one reviewer says it would be hard to understand how anyone would lose weight on it, yet also says that the diet appeared to only allow about calories a day which is very restrictive. Another says the information in her latest book seems to contradict some of what she has said before. The diet is basically a low carbohydrate..."

Abstract
This paper explains that murder, according to the U.S. Code Section 1122, involves the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought. The author points out that justifiable homicide is an instance in which the accused is treated differently from other intentional killers because the circumstances present a good excuse and exculpation for the killing. The paper concludes that suicide, which is the act of killing one's self, is a major cause of death among Americans, especially young people ages 15-24.

From the Paper
"And even though the literacy rate in India has improved, the views on sex discrimination as regards prejudice against girls and women shows the country is not yet enlightened. "We have a great task in front of us changing the mindset of parents," Damle writes, away from "cultural myths and beliefs" that keep girls and women from full opportunities due to feticide and infanticide. Mothers often refuse to breast feed their daughters the writer continues, and this neglect affects the girl throughout her whole life."

Abstract
The paper outlines the major elements of the case, including the facts surrounding the murder and the evidence collected. The paper then evaluates the published statements of material witnesses.

From the Paper
"A month later, Boulder County District Attorney Alex Hunter identified the Ramseys as ?the obvious focus of the investigation.? A year after JonBenet?s murder, police basically had two theories about the case: (1) that someone entered the Ramseys? house through unknown means, possibly sexually abused then brutally, yet silently, killed JonBenet, hid her body, took the time to write a long ransom note, then left unheard and unseen; or (2) that someone who was in the house that night committed the horrible crime."

Lynching in Virginia, 2002.
This paper discusses the misconceptions and the history of lynching in Virginia.

Abstract
The paper discusses the literature about lynching in Virginia. This paper explains that the history of lynching in Virginia is almost entirely a series of misrepresentation and misconceptions; and even today, decades after the last official lynching, it is difficult to find accurate and truthful information regarding this most ignoble tradition. The author continues that nonetheless several items of consensus emerge: Lynching originated in Virginia, Virginia actually historically has the lowest rate of lynching and lynching continues to this day in isolated cases.
From the Paper
"The history of lynching in Virginia begins, as mentioned above, with Col. Lynch. He and his comrades, ?responded to unsettled times by making their own rules for confronting Tories and criminal elements...? Due to their distance from formalized courts, these early Americans felt free to form informal courts in the esteemed Col.?s front yard, try, and punish offenders. Contrary to popular misconception, lynching is not and never has been synonymous with hanging. Most early Virginian lynchings consisted of whippings or similar punishments, and in many rural areas, such a definition continued for over a century. In addition, historical lynchings that did result in death were not always hangings either. Lynching tradition does not necessitate hanging by any means. Other popular methods included shooting, torture of various sorts, skinning, burning (alive or dead), beheading, evisceration and other ghastly methods. Regardless of method, ?lynching is a criminal practice which is peculiar to the United States.? "

Murder in the U.S., 1990.
This paper discusses some sociological aspects of murder in the United States: Societal views toward victims and the accused, statistics, legal tactics, examples (New York "Preppie Murder," etc.) and justice.

From the Paper
"This research considers some sociological aspects of murder in the United States. Although other cases and sources are employed, this consideration is conducted primarily through an examination of the so-called "Preppie Murder," in which Jennifer Levin was the victim, and Robert Chambers was the murderer, and which occurred in New York City in August 1986.
Three factors provide the focus for this research. These factors are (1) societal views in the United States toward victims and accused persons in murder cases, (2) the use of these societal attitudes by defense and prosecuting counsels in the manipulation of juries, and (3) the degree to which justice is served by the American approach to murder."

Abstract
In the early 17th century, a book inspired by Sir Walter Raleigh and written by Richard Hakluyt, entitled ?Western Planting,? built up great interest in American colonization. In 1606, the settlers established the first permanent American settlement called Jamestown in Virginia. The paper follows the history of Virginia, from its settlement led by Captain Newport to its flourishing under the leadership of John Smith. The paper then details the lives of seven founding fathers of Virginia, John Blair, James Madison, George Mason, James McClurg, Edmund Randolph, George Washington and George Wythe.
From the Paper
"James Madison represented Virginia in the Continental Congress from 1780-83 and 1786-88. He stood out as highly instrumental in the convening of the Constitutional Convention of 1787. He is credited with the Virginia Plan, which was in a large part the basis of the American Constitution (NARA). Among his other brilliant achievements was that of leading in the ratification process in Virginia, of helping frame and insure the passage of the Bill of Rights and, with Thomas Jefferson, founded the Democratic-Republican Party. Most importantly, he succeeded Jefferson as President in 1809, and like his first three predecessors, was confronted with the problem and consequences of European wars."

Abstract
Beyond the theories in how slavery emerged in Virginia, were the varying challenges, struggles, and confrontations shared by the landowning whites and slaves, possibly none more famous, than John Brown's Raid. This paper analyzes the theories of how slavery originated in Virginia, how the states prospered as a result and consequently how John Brown's Raid impacted the future of slavery in Virginia.
Outline
I. Introduction
II. The Origins of Slavery in Virginia
III. John Brown's Raid
IV. Public Perception
V. Conclusion
Bibliography
From the Paper
"One of the major blemishes on the face of Virginia is its history as a slave state. With a strong pride in its people, and an important history politically, the state continues to struggle with the causes and significant status of slavery in the state's history. In addition to the stigma associated with the state's history with slavery, is the unfortunate reality that slavery made possible white freedom in 1776, and developed the longstanding financial landscape for Virginia."

Mass Murder in History, 2001.
This paper discusses mass murder throughout the ages.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 3 sources, $ 57.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the lessons that can be learned on why political mass murder has occurred, how it can be prevented in the future, and an analysis of the history of western civilization since the 17th century.
From the paper:
"Mass murder like mass hysteria is a terrifying phenomenon to which the Western civilization has succumbed to all too easily in the bygone eras. As the term suggests, mass murder is the brutal killing of a massive population for a variety of reasons that can be either religious, moral and social or political, bigoted and racist in nature. Whatever the causes, mass murder remains one of those episodes in the history of Western civilization, which one would gladly like to forget. However not many measure up to the extermination of European Jews that occurred during the Second World War. This was a tragedy of insurmountable proportions and can be attributed to Hitler?s propagandist campaign that successfully mobilized the German masses, particularly the youth of the country. This incident better known as the Holocaust can be described as the extermination of European Jews by the Nazis during the years 1939-45."
