From the Paper
"From the late 1860s to the late 1880s a French art movement flourished. Derived from Monet?s painting Impression, this worldwide movement was called Impressionism. Impressionists painted mainly of modern-day subjects in the open air. They used a lot of bright colored paints (little drawing) and aimed to capture the effects of light. Two great American artists of this time were Thomas Eakins and Mary Cassatt. Thomas Eakins was born on July 25, 1844 in Philadelphia. His father was a writer from which he inherited a lot of talent. He also learned to love the outdoors from his father and his childhood. He was very outgoing and did exceptionally well in school. Eakins especially loved science and math, which he enjoyed using later in his career."

From the Paper
"Thomas Eakins painted Max Schmitt in a Single Scull in 1871. The painting is oil on canvas and measures 32 1/4" by 46 1/4". It is currently owned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The painting shows Schmitt seated in a long, narrow rowing shell, or scull. The scull sits in the middle of a river, and is located at the center of the lower half of the painting. Schmitt looks back over his shoulder toward the viewer. Beyond Schmitt the river bank appears on either side of the painting, and is covered with trees that either have fall colors or have lost their leaves. Some houses are also visible on the bank. At the horizon an iron bridge crosses the river. On the river another rower is shown beyond Schmitt, pulling on the outspread oars of his scull. Closer to the bridge there is also a long, low, red boat with a few people seated in it. Under the bridge and beyond.."

From the Paper
" Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) was one of the greatest American painters yet he met with little success during his lifetime. Eakins always believed that his life had little to do with his art. He approached his art from a scientific, realist perspective and held that everything the viewer needed was present on the canvas. But connections between Eakins' beliefs, the difficulties of his artistic career, and his private life are important keys to understanding his work. Three examples of typical Eakins subjects demonstrate how knowledge of his ideas and circumstances illuminates his work. His 1875 painting The Gross Clinic was a portrait of a celebrated surgeon that reflects not only Eakins' artistic influences but his ideas about heroism in American life. His Portrait of a Lady with a Setter Dog (1885) was a portrait of his wife Susan Eakins, painted shortly.."

From the Paper
"As a newly settled frontier area that shared in the culture of an older, dominant power, the American Colonies and, later, the United States of America expended a great deal of effort in defining themselves as a separate cultural entity. Perhaps it was not even until the United States had become a dominant power itself that America felt free of the shadows cast by its ancestors. A comparison of works by two American painters will give some idea of how the this process of self-definition worked. Benjamin West (1738-1820), the most successful American painter of the eighteenth century, was a friend of King George III and his official history painter. West was also a founder and the second President of the Royal Academy and had one of the most successful careers of any painter of his time. Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) worked in relative obscurity. He was a successful ..."

Abstract
This paper begins by presenting the life history of Mary Cassatt, born in Pennsylvania and educated in Europe and the United States. It explores the beginnings of her painting career and the techniques which she employed in her work. The paper then focuses on Cassat's "Little Girl In A Blue Arm Chair" and provides a description of the painting.
From the Paper
"Mary Cassatt influenced Impressionism. She also had an important role in sponsoring and in financial promotion of Impressionist art. She sometimes bought paintings of her friends when they were short of cash and with her connections to rich American families, she encouraged them to buy Impressionist art. Some of the collection is at the New York Metropolitan Museum."

From the Paper
"Mary Cassatt is one of the less well-known of the Impressionist painters. Edgar Degas, her mentor, was one of the most important of the artists who participated in the Impressionist movement and who exhibited his paintings at Impressionist exhibitions. In many ways both were very different from other artists identifying themselves with this movement. Degas was one of the most helpful to other painters, including Cassatt, whom he also painted. The careers of these two painters are each somewhat out of the ordinary for the time and reflect different experiences, in part with differences based on gender.
There were four women classified as Impressionists--Berthe Morisot, Marie Bracquemond, Eva Gonzales, and Mary Cassatt. These four were very different artists, each of whom related to the artistic and political debates of her time in her own..."

From the Paper
"The recent motion picture version of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein hews closely to the plot of the novel while failing to capture its essential purpose. The full title of the movie is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but the possessive does not mean that this version can be considered mary Shelley's vision. Janet Maslin of the New York Times notes this when she writes that the film will not strike anyone as chiefly Mary Shelley's invention. Its principal architect is Kenneth Branagh. . . [who] takes on the godlike, idealistic young scientist's role while also directing this "Frankenstein" as an overheated romantic fable .
An examination of the book and the film shows where the attitudes ... "

Abstract
The following paper examines why many theorists reject the existence of natural law as well as why many agree to its being defined as a set of innate moral principles which are common to all human beings. It is the aim of this paper to identify and discuss the important similarities and differences that exist between the two theories making reference to the theories of Thomas Hobbes (1588 - 1679) and St.Thomas Aquinas (1224/25 - 1274).
From the Paper
"Aquinas proposed that the essential quality setting human beings apart from the rest of the animal world was that of reason. In a development of Aristotle's theory.Aquinas asserts that all men naturally possess an internalized divine spark of reason,which serves as the guide to an autonomous and responsible decision making process."

Abstract
The paper describes and analyzes two portraits from different eras and movements; Diego Rodriguez de Silva y Velazquez's "Juan de Pareja" from 1650 and Mary Cassatt's "Lady at the Tea Table" from 1885. The paper identifies how these artists have utilized the same factors of artificial symmetry and contrast and gaze of the subject in order to reach different goals.
From the Paper
"The first painting to be studied is Velazquez's Juan de Pareja. The first thing that is striking upon viewing this portrait is its two-dimensional composition. The figure, Pareja, is composed in the space asymmetrically. The man is aligned to the left side of the portrait, his head and body filling the space to the left of center. Yet, his chest/torso, cloak, and arm fill the right side of the space rather well. While Velazquez does not exhibit symmetry in his two-dimensional composition by doing this, he achieves what this writer feels is a rather nice effect. The proudly displayed chest and body of Pareja give a sense of regality and pride to the portrait."

Abstract
This paper provides a historical and theological investigation as to the role of Mary within the Church, specifically as to whether Mary should be considered espoused to God, the Father, or to Jesus the Son, or the spouse of the Holy Spirit. This work explores the development of the role of Mary from the viewpoint of the Church Fathers and how that development has taken place. This work also looks at the biblical and doctrinal basis relating to Mary's espousal and further explores the writings of St. Louis Marie De Montfort and St. Maximilan Kolbe in understanding the role of Mary as the spouse of the Holy Spirit.

From the Paper
"Votes were taken with the result being 1114 voting in favor of integration of the marian schema into the Church Constitution and 1074 in favor of a separate schema for Mary. It is stated that this division was reported by news media to be a split as to whether the authenticity of Mary as Mediatrix was to be adopted into the church however, in reality the only division among the Cardinals was as to whether a separate schema should be given to Mary.
Mary is held up as an example of what is termed a "total faith response to God". (McBride, 2003) Chapter VIII of Lumen Gentium states that the Old Testament is to be "understood in the light of further and full revelation." (LG #55) According to mariologist James O'Connor: "in the light of the fullness of revelation we are not 'reading back into' the documents something which is not really there, but something which is truly there but only fully understood when read in the perspective of the completed work." (O'Connor, 1986)"

Abstract
This extensive study investigates the role of the Virgin Mary in today's Protestant churches. The writer examines whether there currently exists an identifiable Protestant liturgical theology of Mary. The author further examines the most significant contemporary developments in Protestant Mariology. The author states that since this investigation seeks to uncover how everyday Protestants view Mary's role in their religion, the scope of research extends beyond scholarly texts. The author considers information from mass media resources like magazines, and less traditional media sources, such as websites to be a reflection of the popular view of Mary. According to the author, untraditional sources provide insight into how modern lay Protestants view Mary, if they honor her, or if they believe she should be honored. The paper further examines how church officials approach devotion to Mary, and if they desire pro-Marian changes in Protestantism. The potential controversy surrounding Mary in the Protestant church is also considered. The author hopes that information from a broad variety of practitioners will yield a suggestion about the modern state of Mary in the Protestant church and whether her role should change.

From the Paper
"Traditionally, at least in recent history, the Virgin Mary has not played a very large role in the various Protestant faiths. In fact, many modern Protestants only recall celebrating Mary during Christmas, and those celebrations were strictly limited to Mary's role in the birth of Christ rather than celebrating Mary's prophecies prior to Jesus' birth or the role that she played as Jesus' day-to-day parent. The Protestant attitude towards Mary contrasts starkly with Catholic and Orthodox attitudes, which celebrate Mary in several different ways. To Catholics, Mary was chosen to be the mother of God's son because she was an example of a devout and loving Jew, so that her spiritual greatness actually preceded the events that are traditionally associated with her. However, to Protestants, prior to the visit from the angel Gabriel, Mary led an unremarkable life, and her sole claim to significance in Christianity is the fact that she was chosen, more or less arbitrarily, by God to be the mother of his son. Furthermore, many Protestants not only refused to share in the Catholic and Orthodox reverence for the Virgin, but have actually reacted vehemently against it, associating respect and reverence for Mary with the some type of idolatry."

Thomas Fleming's "The Purchase of Louisiana", 2007.
This paper is a book report describing Thomas Fleming's "The Purchase of Louisiana", which details the diplomacy and rivalry surrounding President Thomas Jefferson's success in obtaining the Louisiana territory.

Abstract
This paper states that Thomas Fleming's strong research in preparation to writing "The Louisiana Purchase" indicated that the United States wanted to gain control over access to the Mississippi River to be able to ship goods through to Spain and to provide safe harbor for American ships servicing the southern states. The author points out that Fleming argues that possibly Napoleon was willing to sell the Louisiana territory because he was more interested in diverting his attention to the unconquered areas of Egypt and India rather than the undeveloped areas of Louisiana. The paper stresses that the Louisiana Purchase was a victory with the rival French, established the U.S. as a world power and gave Americans a vast new and different land in which to acquire new lifestyles.
From the Paper
"It is obvious from the book that after the "Quasi War" or the undeclared war with France, relations were at a definite strain. These battles fought only at sea and lasted from 1798 to 1800. The tensions manifested themselves with France when they began seizing American ships and goods that were trading with the British. The hostilities between the U.S. and France became a major cause of frictions and physical confrontations primarily due to the greed over land and power that permeated the world at the time."

Mary Wollstonecraft, 1994.

From the Paper
"Mary Wollstonecraft was as famous as a writer as her daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, would become, but today it is clear that the daughter is much the better known of the two largely because of her marriage to Percy Bysshe Shelley and because of her creation of the story embodied in her novel Frankenstein. Both mother and daughter were important proponents of the rights of women both in their writings and in the way they lived and served as role models for other women of their time. Much of their work as writers and political thinkers developed from and represented the spirit of the Romantic era in which they lived.
Mary Wollstonecraft's best-known work is her Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), a work in which she expounded in the ills facing women and on the need for justice for women."

The Poetics of T. S. Eliot and Dylan Thomas, 2005.
This paper compares the personalities and traditions in the poetics of T. S. Eliot and Dylan Thomas.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the poetics of Dylan Thomas and T. S. Eliot demonstrate the manner in which Thomas challenges and re-figures the previous aesthetic ideas of Eliot. The author points out that, whereas Eliot views tradition as a cultural accumulation of literary works within which the writer participates, Thomas shatters these historical bonds. The paper relates that, although both authors strive to achieve an emotional complexity and depth in their work, Thomas refuses the sublimation of the poet's personality to the literary medium by embracing the medium itself with the entirety of his personality and composition as an act of celebration rather than repression. The author underscores that, through his playful love of all the elements and structures of language, Thomas is able to achieve an emotional depth rooted in the medium of literature without the sacrifice of the poet's personality.
From the Paper
"The value Eliot places upon tradition necessitates the depersonalization of the poet and the perfection of the medium of language to sufficiently express the concentration of the past and its convergence with the experience of the present. The personal experiences and emotions of the poet are too subjective to contain the enormity of what the present represents to literary history, so therefore he must engage in "a continual surrender of himself as he is at the moment to something which is more valuable." The poet is envisioned as a catalyst that collects and transforms his emotions and experiences into a new compound that is greater than the sum of its parts."
