Abstract
This paper discusses how Virginia Woolf can be remembered as a feminist and how she left behind a rich legacy of literature, among which were several passionate appeals regarding the rights of women. In particular, the paper examines Woolf's essay, "Professions for Women", and how it discusses the impediments facing professional women writers of her time. The paper shows that Woolf believed that these impediments were applicable to all women professionals, not just writers. Thus, the paper argues, that Woolf's essay should be seen as an early piece of feminist writing.
From the Paper
"Woolf refers to these impediments as "phantoms and obstacles." The phantom she refers to is what she calls the Angel in the House. This phantom is a personification of the social strictures that were imposed on women in Woolf's time. These strictures dictated that a woman should defer to men in every possible way. The name of the phantom probably derives from the fact that it advocates the behaviours which men would deem appropriately "pure" or "angelic" for women, and from the fact that one of the most important strictures was that women should remain within the domestic sphere - and certainly not venture into the professional sphere."

Abstract
This paper reviews and analyzes the death penalty appeals process. The paper discusses the arguments that exist both for against and the long process that characterizes court appeal of a sentence of the death penalty.
Outline:
Introduction
Critical Analysis of Death Penalty Appeals Process
Summary
From the Paper
"The appeals process as related to the appeal of being sentenced to death is a long procedure which takes many years to transverse through. The inherent problem exists in that the government is responsible for feeding, housing, clothing and providing medical care for the individual who is on death row waiting out the appeals process however, that problem is much easier overcome than other problems associated with the death penalty itself. One of these problems is illustrated in the failure of courts to focus attention upon evidence at the time it presented itself but have instead taken the lives of innocent individuals not guilty of the crimes for which they were sentenced to die and then finally put to death."

Bad Women and New Women: Traffic in Souls
She Spies, Shoots and Saves: Serial Queens of the Early Cinema
Pearl of the Army
The Perils of Pauline
The Early Cinema Femme Fatale: Les Vampires
Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of the interesting features of these films is that their narratives are often dominated by the dynamic tension between two figures: the Bad Woman and the New Woman. It should be recalled that this was a period when the traditional gender norms were under assault; most notably in the form of the Suffragette movement in the United States and Great Britain where women were protesting for the right to vote. As a result, there was a great deal of uncertainty as to what were the proper gender roles for women in this changing society. In this environment, reformers were at pains to distinguish between the New Woman - who was demanding unprecedented rights and privileges - and traditional Bad Woman who violated gender norms for different purposes. The issue of moral regulation was a central concern in this debate, as is illustrated in the words of one reformist text from 1913 .. "

?Appeal to Civil Disobedience?, 2006.
An examination of Henry David Thoreau's "Appeal to Civil Disobedience".

Abstract
Henry David Thoreau's "Appeal to Civil Disobedience" has an interesting rhetorical appeal which he uses throughout the essay to achieve a link between himself and his reader core. This paper explains that by using the logic of the times to help his efforts, and by using the three rhetorical appeals - ethos, pathos, and logos - a longing for civil disobedience systematically ruled Thoreau's thought process in a time of racial and ethical tension.
From the Paper
"In reference to his ethos, throughout the essay Thoreau establishes his credibility with his persona and tone. Referencing pathos, Thoreau substantiates his written word through interaction with the audience on an emotional level. Finally, in referencing logos, Thoreau has truly perfected the art of logical appeals, by dropping poetic reference in key passages of the essay throughout, and, of course, by using only his, and no one else's thoughts, as a reference to such highly controvercial topics as abolition and slavery."

Appealing Death Row, 2004.
An explanation of the process of appealing a death row conviction.
1,106 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the process of death row appeals. The paper explains how an inmate on death row has the ability to appeal their case in the U.S. justice system at a number of levels, finally reaching the Supreme Court. The paper includes a number of real-life examples of the appeal process, as well as quotes from lawyers and journalists about the system.
From the Paper
"There are few instances in which the conviction was altered after successive appeals but that only violates the right of the society to make criminals pay for their actions. It is true that in some cases innocent people may be put on death row but for that one appeal should be enough. There is no need to give unlimited appealing right as that would gives some real criminals to plea bargain. Many will get life imprisonment instead of execution even though they deserve to be put to death."

Appeal Case, 2007.
This paper looks at a legal case in which a defendant appeals the verdict after being found guilty.

»

Abstract
In this article, the writer presents an examination of a case in which the defendant in the case is found guilty and appeals. The writer notes that the element used for appeal rests in the fact that an undercover officer visited the convicted felon after he was arrested and incarcerated for the charge and the prosecution used conversations that occurred during those visits to help convict the defendant. The writer points out that the undercover officer never identified himself as a cop during the visits and these visits were before the trial. The writer explains that this means that the officer questioned the defendant after arrest and after being represented by an attorney but before the trial, which infringed on the defendant's right to be represented during all questioning.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Once that arrest took place however and Bob was then indicted by the court system and the grand jury Bob was represented by an attorney of record. The law is very clear on the questioning of a person who is represented by an attorney. The issue surrounding the possible appeal of this case is the fact that Art did not at anytime identify himself as a cop during the visits to the jail following the indictment. There may also be some argument and merit to the fact that Art secretly taped the conversations that he had with Bob as in many states the taping of a conversation is illegal unless both parties are aware of the taping, however, there are some states, Tennessee for example, that allow taping if only one party is aware that the taping is occurring. Because the scenario does not discuss the state that this crime took place in it is wise to only argue the merit of Art visiting Bob and in that visit gathering information to use against him at his trial when he did not have an attorney present. At that point the argument is also valid that Art did not identify himself as a police officer thereby violating Bob's right to have counsel present during the visits or to even make the educated decision as to whether or not he wanted Art to visit him."

David Walker's (abolitionist) Appeal, 2004.
An analysis of David Walker's use of the Bible in his appeal to the American public to abolish slavery.

Abstract
This paper discusses the appeal made by David Walker to the American public not only to abolish slavery, but, once a slave had been freed, to accord that person all the rights the Biblical Joseph was granted by Egypt's Pharaoh when his servitude was completed. More specifically, however, it was directed toward men of color to rise up and take their place in society. The Biblical references of Walker's appeal are examined.
From the Paper
"In pre-Civil War America, it was not unusual for abolitionists and slave-owners alike to use the Bible as justification for their beliefs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was the daughter of a clergyman; surely, the knowledge of the Bible's Old Testament she learned at her father's knee would have informed and even sparked the writing of her impassioned novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. Two decades before Stowe's 1852 book, David Walker was using the Bible not as the impetus to fiction, but as a direct appeal to the American public not only to abolish slavery, but, once a slave had been freed, to accord that person all the rights the Biblical Joseph was granted by Egypt's Pharaoh when his servitude was completed. More specifically, however, it was directed toward men of color to rise up and take their place in society."

Abstract
This paper explores the popular appeal of tragedy, focusing on Sophocles' "Oedipus Rex" and Shakespeare's "Othello." The paper discusses how audiences equate suffering with a certain heroic quality in man.
From the Paper
"Throughout history tragedies have fascinated audiences despite the persistent pain and suffering of their protagonists. Indeed the appeal of tragedy seems to spring from the very misery and self-destruction to which its characters are subjected, as audiences understand that such suffering corresponds to a certain heroic quality in man. This attitude was held in ancient Greece when Sophocles wrote "Oedipus Rex" and sustained itself through the Elizabethan period when Shakespeare produced "Othello." It is still present today as both Greek and Shakespearean tragedies remain immensely popular with audiences."

Abstract
This essay is comparing the masculinity and femininity of two female figures Lara Croft and Barbie, describing the two figurines in detail. The author provides background information how each figure was created and their proposed purposes and how their images change through the years. The differences all touch on the fact that Lara is masculine and Barbie is feminine. The author concludes with decision that present day society finds a masculine female more appealing than a feminine woman.
From the Paper
"Barbie and Lara are both beautiful and have great figures, but Lara still gains the attention. It is Lara?s attitude, the way she is portrayed as a person. Lara has those masculine characteristics that are more appealing in today?s society than a weak, panicky female. Lara Croft can take care of herself. Males are attracted to this because Lara is strong, independent, and beautiful. A woman that does not need protection from a male figure is a wonderful dream for men. Females are attracted to Lara because she can hold her own, she is strong and independent, no help needed from a male partner."

Abstract
This paper examines the climatic, geographic, cultural, and social attraction of the French Riviera to artists. The paper traces the appeal of the Riviera to artists, beginning with prehistoric times and the rock engravings of that era and concluding in the early 20th century, with a look at the film, "And God Made Women".
From the Paper
"It is not difficult to understand the physical allure, and doubtless that is part of what drew the artists, beginning in earnest with the Impressionists. The Impressionists, it must be noted, were the rebellious artists of their day, the avant-garde. They overthrew the classical expectations of realistic art to, as their collective appellation implies, paint their impressions of things. Most of them were devoted to painting in ?plein air,? or outside. That was, needless to say, more easily accomplished where the air was warm and full of sea breezes so that in winter it was at least possible to be outside in the sun, in spring and fall it was extremely pleasant, and even in midsummer it was not too oppressive."

Marketing through Sexual Appeal, 2005.
Examines the use of female images in the selling of products.
2,200 words (approx. 8.8 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 68.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues that, while advertisers cannot be dismissed for using unethical marketing strategies due to their increasing reliance on sexual appeal, given that consumers do respond to them, they still can be labeled as irresponsible to the extent that the images that they promote establish stereotypical images of the female as a sex object. The paper shows that not only does this lead to the popular male perception of women as sexual objects, but also to female views of themselves as bodies that must reach ideal standards of beauty and perfection in order to successfully fulfill their function of attracting male attention. The paper also includes a literature review, which is not included in the word count.
From the Paper
"As explained by both sociologists and psychologists, of all the methods used in advertising, sex appeal catches the attention best, because it is our second strongest drive, next to our drive for survival (Thoits). Consequently, when advertisers employ sexual appeal in their marketing and promotion of products, they can guarantee a response given that they are appealing to one of man's strongest basic instincts. It is due to the general appeal of sex that a great majority of print advertisements increasingly rely on the sexualization of products through images and text with a high degree of sexual content."
