Abstract
This article presents a reflection of the text from "Principles of Catholic Theology" (The Sources of Morality). In this paper, the writer compares the text to a voyage of life through which the traveler reaches adulthood. The writer describes that this stage of adulthood, or moral maturity, is reached by experiencing the various stages of life -- infancy, childhood, teenager hood, and the moral "twenties."
From the Paper
"To discuss morality is always complicated. By today's standards what is moral is subjective and as the text points out is often regarded as without absolutes. When considering the vast differences among people, their origins their upbringings and their chosen paths in life, it is no wonder that morality seems to be what people make of it, rather than people being made of their morality. As such, it is appropriate to consider the sources of morality as a sort of journey on which ... "

Wanted: Fossil Fuel?s Replacement, Nuclear Energy, 2005.
The pros and cons of nuclear energy.
1,378 words (approx. 5.5 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper thoroughly describes the advantages and disadvantages between using nuclear energy and fossil fuels. Overall, the paper provides a positive view of nuclear energy and concludes that its advantages outweigh its disadvantages.
From the Paper
"The green, glowing substance illustrated on "The Simpsons", capable of destroying 155,200 people and giving frogs three legs, actually proves to be beneficial. A decrease in the conventional coal burning ways is more than important for conserving and consuming energy. The efficient, clean and safe solution for conservation appears to be nuclear energy. As the safest out of any major technological industry, nuclear technology's powers are nearly limitless. Of course, with no known method for storing radioactive waste, it is in constant, high debate because of the danger spent reactors pose. Leakage and moving tectonic plates in the main storage mountain, the Yucca, continue to be arguments for the opposing of nuclear energy. Still, in everyday use, the benefits of nuclear power outweigh the negative aspects and are a prime alternative to the rapid reduction of fossil fuels."

Hitler & Propaganda - Telling the People What They Wanted to Hear, 2002.
The success of the Nazi regime in the years 1929 - 1936 depended on it?s capacity to play upon the grievances, fears and desires of the German population.

Abstract
This paper follows the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany, exploring the varying factors that led to its success. Hitler's use of propaganda to exploit the fears and desires of the German people (and ensure his own rise to power) is a major focus of this essay.
From the Paper
"The surrender of Germany and the subsequent Treaty of Versailles left the German population with a great many grievances, desires and fears. Despite this, it was not until the Great Depression of 1929 that these feelings manifested and the people of Germany looked for an answer to their mounting problems. From this depression arose two parties who rivalled the Weimar Republic - the Nazis and the Communists. It was however, the Nazis that succeeded. Their ability to play upon the needs and uncertainties of the German population, secured the success of their regime in the years 1929 to 1936. "

The Story of Noah, 2002.
A discussion of Timothy Findley?s 'Not Wanted on the Voyage', a retelling of the biblical story of 'Noah'.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The following paper examines the story of Noah ? or rather the story of the destruction of the world that exists at the beginning of time and then its recreation after a flood. This paper explores the fascinating aspects of Findley?s book that reminds us that the story of Noah is really a story about how God admits to making a mistake and having to start again with a fresh slate
From the Paper
?The story of Noah and the flood is a fascinating one, not in the least because it allows us to draw connections between Christianity and a number of other religions. While it is certainly not universally true that all creation stories include tales of great floods, such stories are so common across the breadth of the world?s cultures and the length of history that they seem to constitute more the rule than the exception.Timothy Findley?s Not Wanted on the Voyage is thus more than simply a retelling of a biblical story; it is also a retelling of an essentially and nearly pan-human story, and we should read it in this context.?

'Voyages From Tongan Villages to American Suburbs', 2006.
A review and discussion of Cathy Small's book, "Voyages From Tongan Villages to American Suburbs".
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 1 source, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Cathy Small's book about a second generation of Tongan immigrants to America. The paper looks at Small's description of these immigrants and how they did not keep their traditional ways because of moving further or dislodging their connections with Tonga. The paper explains that Small's
book provides insights of mixed race marriages and children, a family experience and approach, and the necessary arrangements of migrating.
From the Paper
" At times, "the migrants later adjust the motivations they gave originally, or give different emphases to their reasons for leaving than they did previously" (Small 92). However, the focus will be on three key reasons for their migration through culture changes, current political status, migration, history, and revenue aspects. The Tongans culture stems from song, dance, gender roles, and respect. Yet, the government felt that the tradition is not lasting, or shall I say, not worthy of current political status. In other words, traditional values have to be transformed or blended..."

From the Paper
"The motivations of Christopher Columbus and other figures in The Four Voyages of Christopher Columbus, edited by J.M. Cohen, are varied and contradictory. Certainly, those motivations were not purely the result of high religious principles, for the lure of gold, land, slaves, power and prestige also played a major role in driving these men to seek, reach and exploit the New World. The reader must keep in mind that the book is written by men who were likely presenting what they saw as a positive portrait of their activities and intentions. Nevertheless, the full range of their motives comes through. One passage from the account of Columbus's son demonstrates the jumble of motives at work in the hearts and minds of these Europeans in their relations with the natives:
On receiving such kindnesses and such samples of gold from..."

Abstract
This shows how the author depicts Tongan migration to the United States in a unique way. The author focuses on a "transnational" perspective in that she emphasizes both cultures involved. In so doing, the author reveals how Tongan immigrants are able to integrate their lives in America. The author's approach helps us get away from an Americanized view of immigration and to get a greater understanding of other cultures and values.

From the Paper
"ne of mankind's great dreams is the discovery of other planetary systems and the ability to travel to them, and a first step in fulfilling this dream is the unmanned probe represented by the Voyager Interstellar Mission. This is a difficult mission by any measure. Voyager I was launched September 5, 1977, and after it has been speeding along for more than 20 years, it is now 6.8 billion miles away from Earth traveling at nearly 51,000 miles per hour. In cosmic terms, that is only about 10 light hours away. However, the closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.3 light years, or 25 trillion miles, away. If Voyager were pointed in the right direction, it is calculated that it would take some 74,000 years to make the trip. However, effective interstellar missions must occur on a human time scale preferably within an individual's lifetime..."

Abstract
This paper explains how Margaret Atwood's "Lady Oracle" and John Barth's "The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor" are both concerned with a mythical and psychological search for identity. More specifically, the paper explains that in both books we come across characters that are searching for a sense of identity through various means-usually by adopting new roles.
From the Paper
"Since Joan knows them all, she also understands that what became of school dancers and other hot-shots. Most of them turned into tired wives and badly needed escape just the way she did. "Escape literature ... should be an escape for the writer as well as the reader" (p. 155) Escape was something Joan sought through her identity as a writer because she felt that writing could enable her to understand just who she was just the same way her audience could benefit from her work: "Escape wasn't a luxury for them, it was a necessity. They had to get it somehow. And when they were too tired to invent escapes of their own, mine were available for them at the corner drugstore, neatly packaged like the other painkillers" (p. 34). Joan also feels her writing did not only have a palliative effect but could indeed turn women like herself into what they desired to be. She felt her books had the "the power to turn ... pumpkins to pure gold." By offering "a vision of a better world, however preposterous" (p. 35), Joan was only embarking on a voyage of self-discovery."

Abstract
This paper discusses the writing of Jules Verne, with particular emphasis on his novel "The Mysterious Island". Although Verne is a science fiction and fantasy writer, he weaves a web of reality throughout his novels, lending them an authentic quality. This paper shows how he manages to remain grounded in reality and examines the themes he wanted to get across to his readers.
From the Paper
"The French author, Jules Verne, did more than simply tell stories in his works of fiction. He educated the reader, enlightening him on whatever the subject matter of the work. He incorporated into his novels mini lectures on how it was possible for the characters to perform the tasks they did. The Mysterious Island is one such novel. Aside from the themes of man conquering nature and isolation, the reader learns bits of history, scientific terms for plants and animals, the geological structure of the earth and it's contents, and about the basic components of certain technological advancements. Verne did this in a unique way, and the result is an adventure that does not leave the reader with questions or feelings of disbelief. In his own words, "The reader does not ask to be taught, but to be amused. If you want to teach him something, do so without seeming to. The teaching has to be slipped into the action or it misses its aim" (Jules-Verne 111)."

Abstract
This undergraduate paper compares and contrasts two pieces of literature, one is the "Second voyage of SINDBAD, the sailor' translated by N.J Dawood and the other is Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Nature". It is rather difficult to compare the two works because they are meant for different age groups and the writers belonged to different eras.
