Abstract
The paper discusses the benefits of walking for pleasure. It discusses the various health advantages such as the rise in endorphins to counter depression, the lowering of stress levels and weight control. The paper shows that walking affects people spiritually as well by connecting them to the rhythms of their body. Issues of what to consider when buying a walking shoe are also explored.
From the Paper
"A 1999 Annals of Behavioral Medicine study proves that college students who walk regularly had lower stress levels than those who didn?t exercise. The college students surveyed said they found that walking gave them time to get away from their stressful environment and clear their heads. The study found that by put physical and mental distance between themselves and the stress-causing environment, the students were able to work through their problems and find possible solutions with better clarity. Walking also helped to wear off stress-eating related calories, lower blood pressure and heart rates as well as give the students a chance to let out steam and vent when they included a partner on their walk."

City Walk, 2002.
This paper argues that, although quasi-public privatized spaces, like Universal City Walk in Los Angeles, show ethnic diversity and do not result in social stratification, they do represent the destruction of democratic public space.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although spaces like City Walk do not outright cause social stratification, they do result in segregation and unreal expectations of what public space truly represents. The paper states that a variety of security mechanisms has been put in place to prevent potential criminal activity. The author believes that, although spaces like City Walk may resemble true democratic public spaces, they actually are designed to attract consumers, thereby, automatically filtering out objectionable or disagreeable visitors.
From the Paper
"City Walk was developed and constructed as a safe haven for consumers. The clientele that City Walk attracts is a young, affluent and classy sort with money to spend. Consumers do not feel threatened due to the prevalence of security patrols and surveillance cameras that are posted throughout the park. City Walk, however, excludes an important part of the true urban population, people such as the homeless and perhaps even gang members who would normally be visible in a democratic public space."

Film: "Walking Tall", 2008.
Evaluates the film "Walking Tall" as a Jesus narrative.
1,510 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 49.95

Abstract
This paper begins by stating that some attempts to find the story of Christ in virtually every medium strains the contention beyond credulity. The author then tells the story of the film "Walking Tall" and attempts to relate it to segments of the New Testament. The paper points out that the film is a retelling of the Jesus narrative only in the loosest sense and that there is only token acknowledgment of the downtrodden, the outcast and the poor and there are no parables or no lessons. The paper concludes that, while many films can be seen as retellings of the Jesus narrative, "Walking Tall" is not such a film.
From the Paper
"Vaughn then goes to Jay's mill, where he is momentarily tricked onto a trap door. When this opens, he hangs as if crucified, but manages to escape, leading Jay into a climactic fight of fire-ax against crude club. Eventually Vaughn beats Jay, delivers a final, emasculating blow (compare Matthew 5:38-45 [turn the other cheek]), and announces proudly, "This is my town. You're under arrest." The movie ends with Vaughn and Ray making anti-gay jokes about Jay, while Vaughn basks in his unexplained but clearly miraculous accomplishment."

Abstract
This paper looks at the management style known as Management By Walking Around (MBWA). The paper explains that this involves managers getting out of their offices for a good part of their day and walking around, visiting all their employees, engaging them in discussions, helping them solve problems and generally making sure everyone is working well and that things are running smoothly. They provide a means of two-way communication to make the employees happy and let the management know what is going on and how the employees are feeling in regard to the organization and its goals.
From the Paper
"As a worker I would be quite comfortable with the leader using the Managing By Walking Around (MBWA) style. I believe if workers are honest and conscientious, they have nothing to fear from their leaders and everything to gain. Leaders can provide guidance, answer questions, suggest ways of resolving problems and give employees encouragement and motivation."

Darkeness and Light in Byron's "She Walks in Beauty", 2008.
A discussion of darkness and light in Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes Lord Byron's poem "She Walk's in Beauty", which combines images of darkness and light to create a unique internal and external aura. The paper maintains that this aura surrounds the beautiful woman who he describes in his poem. Each one of Byron's three stanzas describes a natural, a physical and a spiritual aura which surround the woman. Byron uses images from the natural, physical and spiritual world to describe the emotions he has towards this particular woman, represented in images of both light and darkness. The paper concludes that, through his poem, Byron has combined the beauty of the natural world, the physical body and the spiritual being to create a timeless expression of love and admiration.
From the Paper
"Byron's first stanza concentrates on the natural beauty of the woman who he encounters. "She walks in beauty, like the night/ Of cloudless climes and starry skies" (Ln.1-2) .Byron has immediately introduced us to a woman whose beauty is that equal to the beauty of nature. Her beauty is represented by the darkness of night. The image of night creates an aura that surrounds her. Byron is describing how beautiful he feels the night is and that this woman represents that beauty of night within her own aura. Nature is both day and night, both dark and light. In the first stanza the images of day light and dark night both represent the woman. The lines "All that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes," (Ln. 3-4) represent the combination of day and night within the woman. She is a combination of the best of the day and the best of the night. Her combination of dark and bright creates, "that tender night Which heaven to gaudy day denies" (Ln.5-6). She is not the overpowering "gaudy," brightness of day. She's the perfect combination of light and dark. Not even heaven bestows this beautiful light on the day. She is a pure, natural and heavenly creature on earth."

From the Paper
"During her tenure as Willie's spiritual advisor and after his death, Sister Helen's involvement in social action never falters, but rather increases in intensity and scope. Ever open to growth and grace, Sister Helen determines to become more involved in campaigning for victim and survivor rights as well. What might seem a contradiction to some is quite congruous to Sister Helen - both abolitionist activities and work for victims and their families are ways that she can follow Jesus and share His love and truth and vision. Though she sometimes serves as the willing target of the anger and frustration felt by victims' families, she consistently offers them support and prayers. She attends meetings of an organization called Parents of Murdered Children and shares the pain of survivors. "

From the Paper
"Later on, Greita becomes corrupted and infiltrated with the foreign influence of her early life, always regretting her loss of money and status, yet unable to recapture it in her later, married existence to one of her own Latvian people. Eventually, as she dies, she must cut off her beautiful blonde hair that drew the German baron's attention. Thus Greita's story shows the complex interplay between cultures in a small nation that is colonized and dominated by a larger nation--or in the case of the Balkans, many larger nations. The smaller nation has its own integrity, yet learns from some of the culture of the larger nation, and is ultimately cast off and left to fend for itself in a tragic fashion in a way that it will always regret its lost, purer pre-invasion past, even if such liberation was so fleeting as to be nonexistent."

Film: Jacques Tourneur's "I Walked with a Zombie", 2007.
This paper analyzes a specific scene from Jacques Tourneur's 1943 classic film "I Walked with a Zombie".

Abstract
This paper examines the love triangle with a zombie and two brothers, in Jacques Tourneur's film "I Walked with a Zombie", as delineated in the scene in which the maid Alma brings Betsy her breakfast in bed. The author points out that this scene demonstrates the way this film is deliberately and carefully crafted. The paper utilizes Roland Barthes' model of textual analysis, which determine the meanings of a specific text, to dissect this interaction and interpret the ways in which it ties the characters of Betsy and Jessica together. The author states that Barthes's approach to analysis still leaves important questions unanswered. The paper concludes that no system can take into account the infinite ways in which an adroit author can manipulate his or her text, subverting it, twisting it and then simply ignoring parts of it completely.
From the Paper
"Lastly, the Cultural Code is a loose concept that acknowledges the importance of common cultural knowledge in understanding texts. As mentioned above, again the cultural code is most relevant in this sequence in relation to class and race. A knowledge of Western racial history enables viewers to understand that, as privileged members of the racial upper class, both Betsy and Jessica enjoy a similar social status that places them above Alma. To illustrate, it would be surprising to see Alma wait on Betsy if she too were black, which itself would be surprising since blacks at the time of the film were generally denied the opportunities necessary to enter the medical field in the first place."

Abstract
This paper examines rehabilitation and punishment as portrayed in the film "Dead Man Walking." It contends that although the film does not address the issue of the death penalty, it addresses the efficacy and morality of capital punishment.
From the Paper
"In their essays Karl Menninger and Richard Wasserstrom address their sue of how best society can prevent crime. Menninger argues that rehabilitative treatments for criminals best prevent future crime. Wasserstrom on the other hand argues that punishment through incarceration serves as the best deterrent for future criminals. The film Dead Man Walking does not address whether the death penalty is an effective deterrent for crime. It does however address the morality and efficacy of capital punishment. In his essay Wasserstrom argues that Menninger's solution only addresses ..."

"Dead Man Walking", 2005.
An analysis of religious theology and the death penalty, based on the movie "Dead Man Walking".

Abstract
Sr. Helen Prejean, in "Dead Man Walking", presents a complex analysis of the death penalty in the United States in terms of religion, class, race, culture and ideology. This essay critically examines Prejean's discussion of the death penalty, and Prejean's understanding of the relationship between religion and society, with respect to the above elements. The paper shows that her integration of social analysis and religious belief renders her Christian commitment "critical" in the sense of the concept of "critical theology" as popularized by Gregory Baum.

?As I Walked Out One Evening?, 2004.
An examination of the use of imagery in W. H. Auden?s poem, ?As I Walked Out One Evening?.
1,189 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 40.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
W. H. Auden?s poem, ?As I Walked Out One Evening?, is a splendid example of Auden?s use of imagery. In this poem, Auden forces us to look at the concept of time from the perspective that it is like an enemy. To put this image in place, he contrasts it with a pair of lovers who cannot grasp the true meaning of time because their perspectives are muddled with their concept of love. This paper examines Auden?s poem and how he utilizes the technique of imagery to successfully prove his point.
From the Paper
"According to Robert Bloom Auden?s poetry often carries with it a ?sense of the immense peril in which the whole human enterprise stands as the hour comes round for a decaying civilization either to renew itself or die? (Bloom). This perspective is clearly laid out in ?As I Walked Out One Evening,? as the speaker takes notice of two lovers on Bristol Street. As we will discover, time and its justice can be seen as the poem unfolds."

"Just Walk on By", 2006.
A review of the essay "Just Walk on By" by Brent Staples.

Abstract
This paper reviews and critiques "Just Walk on By", an essay about black men in America, written by Brent Staples. In the essay, Staples asserts that Americans are inherently afraid of an unknown black man. The author of this paper summarizes Staples' arguments and provides several examples from the text. The author concludes that Staples is such an effective, persuasive storyteller, that the reader becomes convinced to not only stop fearing unknown black men, but to feel sympathy for them.
From the Paper
"The dark images used in the first half of the essay to explain the fear his presence instilled on society now turn against him and become methods to produce sympathy towards him. Although others fear him, Staples is the one who, in a hunted animal-like chase, must run for his life among a maze of halls that conjure up images of a rat in a trap. Instead of walking by, around, or from him, women now take on an offensive hunch posture, something akin to the arched back stance a cat takes before attacking a small animal. The world has taken action and braced itself against his timid, innocent presence. Staples has taken himself from the overwhelming predator role he assumed in the beginning of the essay to becoming a soul shut out from the freedom of taking a simple stroll, all because citizens fear the unknown black male."
