Abstract
This paper presents a detailed scene analysis of the sequence immediately after the scene "The Break Up" in Todd Haynes' 2002 film, Far From Heaven. The paper discusses the characters in the film, the film's use of music and its cinematography.
From the Paper
"Immediately after the scene "The Break Up", we see Cathy walk from the warmly lit living room occupied by her husband to the unlit parlor where a window is opened onto the night sky. The music illustrating this transition foreshadows the momentous change occurring in Cathy's life by the use of a single instrument -- the piano interlude. The orchestral piece fades to highlight the piano solo, which signifies Cathy's new single status."

Abstract
This paper analyzes three directors, Douglass Sirk, R.W. Fassbinder and Todd Haynes and their respective films. The paper looks at the combined effects of these films as a social critique of 1950's small town America to provide insights or social commentary into the era.
From the Paper
"Film can play a significant role in the ways which society can twist and look inwardly upon itself. At times, it is only in art, through being shown these images of ourselves, that we can fully see ourselves. Many artists, novelists, philosophers and literary critics, among others, have attempted to hold up this mirror to society. Most recently, films have added themselves to this growing list. In film, often directors approach this relationship between movies and society, and critique the functions of our social reality through film. The directors Douglass Sirk, and the film All That Heaven Allows, R.W. Fassbinder and the film Fear Eats the Soul and Todd Haynes in his Far From Heaven all utilize the genre of the melodrama to incorporate social critique into their views of 1950's suburban America. Sirk, Fassbinder and Haynes all have aspects of this social critique in..."

"HAYNES JOHNSON'S SLEEPWALKING THROUGH HISTORY
This research report consists of a summary, analysis and evaluation of Haynes Johnson's above entitled book on the 1980s. As its title suggests, the author believes that the decade represents a period in which America largely failed to come to grips with its principal problems. This decade long escape from reality was aided and abetted by the mythology orchestrated by the Great Communicator, the President for most of the decade, Ronald Reagan, who struck responsive chords in the electorate and by the development of an electronic media well attuned to the age. The book is more successful in describing what happened during the 1980s than in explaining the deeper significance of the events that then transpired and suffers from the author's attachment to a world which clearly was disintegrating before his ..."

Abstract
This paper compares the different female characters portrayed in three movies and looks at how each character goes against what is expected of women in society. The three movies, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", "All That Heaven Allows" and "Far From Heaven" show women acting against the conventions of society, looks at examples of female bonding in the film and discusses the French film "Choas" in terms of female bonding.
From the Paper
"The female protagonist in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" is quite different from those in "All That Heaven Allows" and "Far From Heaven", yet all three exemplify unruly women who go against the norms of their respective societies, especially the expected or proscribed behavior of women. The three women in these films choose to redefine their traditional roles and, in so doing, they break female stereotypes. The musical comedy, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", features Marilyn Monroe as the traditional, beautiful, sexy but dumb blonde, Lorelei Lee. Contrary to her innocent looks..."

William Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell", 2007.

Abstract
In this paper, the writer considers William Blake's novel "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" as a reaction to the Enlightenment. William Blake saw the Enlightenment as favoring the rational over the imaginative and explicitly reacts to this thought process in "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell." The paper discusses how Blake contrasts science, poetry, rationality, and imagination to show the limitations and problems that privileging the rational has had by exploring the imaginative in a diabolic way.
From the Paper
"Blake dismisses the advantage that has been placed upon good over evil by taking on a diabolical voice and condemns the Church, as it has condemned men, by explaining that "All bibles or sacred codes have been the causes of the following Errors:..."6 (Plate 4), then affirming that "the following Contraries to these are true:..."6 (Plate 4). Blake uses this rejection of the bible to point out the misleading notions that the Church has caused, then blatantly writes "Those, who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be/ restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place and governs the unwilling."6 (Plate 5) Here, Blake points out the insufficiencies that "conventional moral[ity]"6 (1377) holds while restraining those who do not wish to follow, as a prediction of the breaking away from Church or State governance."

This paper presents a reflection on CS Lewis' position on heaven, hell and other religious issues in Peter Kreeft's book "Between Heaven & Hel"l.

So Far From God, 2007.
This paper provides a book review of the book 'So Far From God' written by Ana Castillo.

Abstract
In this article, the writer studies the story 'So Far From God' by Ana Castillo. The writer notes that in "So Far From God", Castillo sets her work in Chicana country, and creates a mystical work of fiction that draws the reader into the story, making it nearly impossible to set down. The writer looks at the various characters in the book and then discusses the different themes of the story. Further the writer notes that the style of writing is somewhat disjointed and strange, almost like Castillo is just telling a story aloud to a friend instead of creating a novel. The writer concludes that the endurance of the human spirit and the female spirit, is what Castillo is trying to show to the readers of this particular book.
From the Paper
"The themes that are presented in the book must be discussed in some detail, because they are very important and significant. Each theme of the book revolves around one of the five female characters. Sofia, the mother, embodies the great wisdom that is seen in some individuals. She goes through so much, but she manages to retain her sanity and her sense of humor, both of which she feels are very important. The wisdom theme appears to be at the core of what Castillo is trying to show. There are, however, other themes and ideas that are embodied by the four daughters."
"Esperanza, who is the most liberated of all of the sisters, spends her college years involved with the Chicano movement and tries to better many people's lives. Despite how helpful and kind she is, she is killed covering the Gulf Crisis as a reporter for a television station. Her death is largely meaningless, and it leaves the reader without any kind of way to find redemption in the death of this character."

Abstract
All of faiths have a belief about what happens to your body and soul after death. This paper explores the seven different levels of heaven and the seven different levels of hell that Muslims believe in, as well as the heaven and hell that Catholic-Christians believe in. Similarities and differences in the different beliefs are brought out, and all facts are supported by the Bible, Qur'an, and/or primary sources from the religions.
From the Paper
"One of the most central things in any religion is what happens to somebody when they die. Some religions believe that nothing happens, others that the dead person?s soul is reincarnated, but most, including Islam, believe that dead souls are sent to Heaven or to Hell. Muslims believe in a physical Heaven which Allah created, as well as a physical Hell, also the creation of Allah. Heaven is located in the skies above the earth, and Hell is located underneath this earth. To better understand where one goes after their death, it is important to understand the Islamic teachings of Heaven and Hell and compare them to the Catholic teachings of Heaven and Hell found in the Bible."

Abstract
This paper discusses Tablet VI of the "Epic of Gilgamesh", which contains the story of Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu's battle with the Bull of Heaven. The paper cites passages from the epic tale and discusses what each of the characters and events represent. The paper concludes that this part of the tale encapsulates major themes in the drama of human existence and the relationship of human beings to the wider cosmos.
From the Paper
"In these lines it is clear that the Bull represents a force even more terribly destructive than the horrors threatened by Ishtar. Worse than the elimination of law and order, of the creation of moral chaos that Ishtar's threats would represent, the loosing of the bull appears to bring about physical annihilation of the means of existence. The Bull would eat up all the grain and all the grass causing both men and animals to starve. There would be nothing. All the creatures of the earth would die, and the gods would be left without support. It is with this idea in mind that Anu asks Ishtar if she has seen to it that food has been stored up for those who dwell on the Earth. Anu's concern is interesting because it reveal the physical underpinnings of the cosmic order. A civilization's values might be important, but that civilization cannot exist without the material things that sustain it. Anu comes across as concerned with the totality of creation, Ishtar only with the satisfaction of her own desires, as befits a goddess of sexual urges."

"So Far From God", 2007.
A review of Ana Castillo's novel "So Far From God".
1,013 words (approx. 4.1 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Ana Castillo adopts folkloric and fantastical tone in her novel "So Far From God" and makes the reader feel as if he or she is part of the community life of the novel. It discusses how the novel is told in the voice of a third-person narrator who does not directly participate in the actions and how the narrator tells the reader, like a neighborhood gossip, what will transpire over the course of the chapter, as in a folktale rather than a novel.
From the Paper
"The fact that many of the characters have allegorical names, like the main protagonist's Sofi's daughters, Charity, Hope, and Faith (Caridad, Esperanza, and Fe) intensifies this sense that this is a tale of unconventional structure, like a fable with no moral, rather than a conventional novel focused on the development and evolution of a single character. Just like characters listen to tales told by wise, old women of the community like the centenarian Felicia, the reader listens to the narrator, uncertain of whether to trust her moral judgment, even when assured that the facts of the events are true.

Abstract
This paper discusses the book "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" written by Mitch Albom. The paper states that the book tells a story of a lifetime of self misperception, potential waste of spirit and ultimate redemption. The paper examines developmental psychology and its relevance to the book.
From the Paper
