Abstract
In this analysis of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne, the writer of this paper takes the reader on an exploratory journey of the story itself and then works to compare the culture of the people on the submarine to actual cultures. The writer concludes with a discussion about the comparison.
From the Paper
"Many times in literature the author will use the story to portray or convey some truth in fiction about the culture he is writing about. This was the case with Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea. In this book the author takes painstaking efforts to convey many details with extreme accuracy relating to the culture of life at sea and the findings that occur. Other aspects of the culture are not as easily defined because of the various nations that the shipmates come from. However, the culture of sea life is a culture that crosses all barriers and Verne does an excellent job of painting a mental picture for the reader about the culture that his characters lived in the story and would have lived had they been real."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that Ethel Wilson's "Swamp Angel" and Leon McKay Jr.'s "Twenty-Six" are two dramatic novels written by Canadian authors and set within Canadian borders. The writer maintains that despite these superficial similarities they are, however, very similar books in their themes of compassion, familial relationships, time, drama, pain, and the necessity of moving forward. The writer concludes that the endings of "Swamp Angel" and "Twenty-Six" represent the importance of compassion in redemption. Life is difficult, the authors seem to acknowledge; but it rolls on, regardless of us. The writer maintains that the only means through which we can improve our lives and obtain meaning is through acceptance of change and the embracing of the human beings who are important to us - our family.
From the Paper
"Both novels deal closely with the theme of compassion towards those around us, as part of being human. The novels Swamp Angel and Twenty-Six also deal with the concept of responsibility, particularly in a familial sense. Wilson's book serves to remind the reader what it is to be human. That is, we must not only be ourselves, but are responsible for the consequences of our actions and how they effect others - especially family members. This concept of responsibility is tied in with the idea of time. Wilson's character Maggie demonstrates that though time is ours, it does not permit us the joy and irresponsibility of floating along of our own accord, acting of our own whim without regard to others. Instead, life and relationships are temporal. And, in the temporal flow of relationships, changes abound. When Mrs. Severance gives up the Swamp Angel, she recognizes that time and change are necessary ideals to uphold."

Accuracy of Data Input, 2007.
A review and discussion regarding the accuracy of data input.

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the various methods of data input. The paper takes a look at the accuracy, convenience and quality of these methods of data input, focusing primarily on the accuracy of each.
From the Paper
"When dealing with printed questionnaires, keyboard entry is the best choice for data input. Unlike handwriting, which most of the times is unclear and therefore severely affects the accuracy of data input, the keyboard method avoids uncertainty. Among this method's advantages, one of the most important is that most people are familiar with using keyboards and with the key's layouts, so there is no or little training required for using keyboards. Also, an optical mark recognizer can be used. Optical mark recognition is a fast and accurate data input method that basically refers to capturing data by contrast reflectivity at predetermined positions on a page. This data input method presents several advantages, like the wide range of application. It can be applied for community surveys, consumer surveys, tests and assessments, evaluations and feedback, data compilation, product evaluation, inventory counts, membership subscription forms, and other printed material. Also, the optical mark recognizer identifies rapidly the answers marked by users and calculates scores. However, this method has its disadvantages also: it is not suitable for large amounts of text, or some data can be lost in the scanning process. "

Abstract
This essay concerns Leo MacKay Jr.'s novel entitled 'Twenty Six', and it evaluates a review of the same novel. In this case, the review was taken from Quill and Quire magazine. The essay concludes, that the review does not really do the novel justice or present it adequately, as is also the case with other reviews of this novel. The writer points out that the central conflict is poorly represented.
From the Paper
"A review of a book, movie, play or other art form has to straddle a delicate balance- on the one hand, an accurate and objective view of the work must be presented, but on the other hand, the author of the review also has to make his or her own unique point. He has to really be saying something original about the book in order to make the review worthwhile. A common difficulty, therefore, is when reviewers seem to struggle for things to say that are unique and original, and the review itself ends up being either an overly negative criticism or a retelling or summarizing of the plot of the story."

Data Input Accuracy, 2005.
A look at why the accuracy of data input is important.
784 words (approx. 3.1 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 27.95
»

Abstract
This paper highlights the importance of ensuring that all data input to a system is error-free. The paper points out that, as the uses for data expand and as the amount of data input increases, the need for accuracy of input also increases. The paper then provides recommendations for optimal methods of data input for several different situations.
From the Paper
"Computer systems, software, and applications are basically created to provide efficiency in accomplishing a task. If the data used by a system is inaccurate, what help and sense will a computer system provide to its users? Accuracy of data input is important because data is considered as the life of a successful system operation. Jack Olson has the following view on the importance of data. Such importance provides the reason why accuracy of data input is similarly important."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss and analyze the book "Twenty Years at Hull-House" by Jane Addams. Specifically, it discusses what her political argument is and how she goes about promoting it in the book. It looks at how Addams argues that it is the responsibility of the government to care and aid those in poverty and that regulating the workplace is one place to begin this aid. It also examines how Addams promotes the idea that everyone needs to respect each other and work together to solve society's toughest problems.
From the Paper
"Part of her argument surrounds the inactivity of local and state governments to create decent living and working conditions for the nation's poor. She writes, "The policy of the public authorities of never taking an initiative, and always waiting to be urged to do their duty, is obviously fatal in a neighborhood where there is little initiative among the citizens" (83). The city has a moral obligation to create decent conditions for the city's poorest workers, but she notices that often they shirk their responsibility because the immigrant citizens do not know their rights or how to access them. She notes that many houses do not have sewers, there is little street lighting, the streets are dirty, and the schools are inadequate, among other things. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the book, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", by Jules Verne. The paper introduces the book's narrator, a Frenchman named Professor Aronnax, his Belgian assistant, Conseil and Ned Land, a Canadian sailor. The paper describes how Verne represents in these personas, three different segments of French-speaking Europe?the Parisian intellectual, the smaller and helpful Belgian servant and the outdoorsy Canadian. The antagonist of the story, Captain Nemo, is examined in detail.
From the Paper
"The story begins when Professor Aronnax agrees to investigate a series of attacks by a mysterious sea monster. After joining the crew of the ship Abraham Lincoln and Ned Land, the men encounter what they first believe is the monster, but turns out to be a large, state-of-the-art submarine, the Nautilus. But in a way, they have encountered a monster, because Captain Nemo has become so cruel, embittered, and mad from his time away from humanity, that it is almost as though he is like the monsters he observes and is tracking himself."

Abstract
This paper discusses John Maxwell's book, "The Twenty-One Irrefutable Laws of Leadership". The paper suggests that the book is based upon the philosophy that leadership is the cornerstone of successful business and that it is through individuals that strive to do what is right, that true leaders emerge. It describes how Maxwell contends that leadership exists in every society, all organizations and throughout the generations, yet, leaders often require new ideologies to inspire them in the leadership of others.
From the Paper
"Summary of The Book: The Twenty-One Irrefutable Laws of Leadership The laws, Maxwell contends, have the ability to be learned by anyone who is devoted to leadership. While many leaders are naturally inclined to fulfill these roles, there are just as many individuals within organizations who must acquire the talent of successful leadership. Maxwell further suggests that the 21 laws have the ability to be the only guidance for the leader when the laws are addressed with conviction. "

His father had moved to Cincinnati in 1837 to practice law. His mother came to Ohio from Massachusetts years later and was Alphonso's second wife. Their first son died in infancy, but in 1857, William Howard Taft was born. In time there were six children, including William, his two brothers, his sister, and his two half brothers by his father's first marriage. Traditions revering education and public service ran strong in the family. Alphonso Taft himself served as a judge in Ohio, as attorney general and secretary of war in the administration of Ulysses S. Grant and as U.S. minister to Austria and to Russia. He set an example that his son William was to emulate and exceed. (Microsoft Encarta)"

History and Legacy of the Negro Leagues, 2001.

Abstract
The writer of this paper presents a thorough overview of the baseball phenomenon of the Negro League. It examines the early beginnings of this group in the late 1800's and how this helped integration into the sports arena. It then looks at the highlights of this league and some of the famous players. Finally the writer examines how this league closed and merged with major league baseball.
From the Paper
"The history of the Negro League in baseball has recently received new interest after a half a century of benign neglect. Baseball fans realize that Blacks played baseball before 1974, of course, because they know that Jackie Robinson moved out of the Negro Leagues to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers, thus integrating what most people thought of as ?major league baseball.? The history of the teams that created Robinson and thousands of other talented athletes deserves more attention."

Salaries in the Major Leagues, 2001.
Argues in favor of salary caps in Major League Baseball.

»

Abstract
This paper is an argumentative essay about the need for salary caps in Major league Baseball. The paper argues that salary caps are necessary in order survive as a profitable sport.
From the Paper
"There is obviously a problem in Major league Baseball and it needs to be fixed before the league goes belly up. While this sounds preposterous it is quite possible. In my mind the best solution would be a salary cap and revenue sharing. As a Padres fan I grow tired of seeing them place last or second to in the NL West. While I will still support them I won?t be attending as many games (especially while in Iowa). Because of this they will lose money in ticket sales, with the effects of that trickling all the way down to revenue for broadcasting, leaving them in a financially precarious position. This is in danger of happening to many teams. Fans are going are growing tired and vexed at seeing their teams go nowhere in the post-season. Three competitive teams are not enough to keep a profitable fan base and more importantly profitable revenue."

Abstract
This paper analyzes what makes a quality historical movie. The analysis focuses on authenticity and accuracy, and the paper includes why it is difficult to render historical authenticity and accuracy in the case of particular personages and/or events.
From the Paper
"The production of historical film requires a number of considerations in order to be considered a great historical film with respect to accuracy. From authenticity to avoiding inventions added for their own sake, producing a great historical film requires more than producing a merely successful narrative film. Films like "The Birth of a Nation" and "Gone with the Wind" may be considered great films about the Civil War but they are prevented from being considered great historical films because they are not historically accurate."

Capitalism of the Twenty-First Century, 2008.
This paper explores two works: Robert Reich's text, "The Work of Nations" and a PBS online video presentation, "Wal-Mart: Is It Good for America?"

Abstract
The paper looks at the thesis of both Robert Reich's text, "The Work of Nations" and a PBS presentation "Wal-Mart: Is It Good for America?" and examines the manner in which the theses are substantiated as well as the objectivity of the works. The writer shows how both writers present similar theses and that each presents facts in a manner that support their underlying arguments. The paper concludes that both sources offer insight into the dark realities of twenty-first century capitalism, although only Reich offers definitive solutions.
From the Paper
"Robert B. Reich's text on what the twenty-first century portends is remarkably prescient in light of the fact it was completed by its author at the dawn of the 1990s. Overall, Reich appears to take the view that the old phenomenon - one which dates back to the nineteenth century - of the individual standard of living rising or falling in concert with the economic performance of the nation's largest business organizations is no longer taking place. Instead, technology, money, jobs and ideas are flowing more easily than ever across national borders and from one part of the globe to another. As a result, national corporations are losing whatever national identity they might once have had as the profit-maximization potential of the global workplace manifests itself."
