From the Paper
"The women of Sherwood Anderson's novel Winesburg, Ohio are successfully portrayed as inferior and dependent failures through the author's use of overpowering and insensitive male characters. The narrator's tone suggests the women of Winesburg to be emotionally dependent upon the actions, or inactions, of their male counterparts. Louise Bentley's husband obscures his wife's identity through his failure to recognize that she does not fit neatly into his preconceived notion of what the responsibilities and qualities of a wife are. Alice Hindman's life is absolutely defined by the absence of her one-time lover Ned Currie - she is unable to sustain normal relationships because she remains inescapably dependent on Ned. Elizabeth Willard is denied any love at all. Her relationship with her son is formal and unfulfilling while her husband despises her and wishes that she did not exist at all. Finally, the character of Kate Swift encompasses the idea of repression of the female gender. Curtis Hartman's obsession with her places her on a pedestal - she has become an object rather than an actual person."

Abstract
This paper reviews the book, "Winesburg Ohio", a well-crafted work of art by the author, Sherwood Anderson, about the alternately complex, lonely, joyful, and strange lives of the inhabitants of the small town of Winesburg, Ohio. It analyzes the various motifs of Winesburg, Ohio under different sectional headings in order to view how characters function in the set of stories remarkably woven by the author. It covers the themes of loneliness, inhibition, lack of communication, and isolation, and also tries to show the connection of George Willard to these themes and the town.
From the Paper
"The first chapter is called ?Hands? , and involves the sad story of Wing Biddlebaum. Because Biddlebaum is accused of having molested students that he taught, his hands embody the shame that he carries. Fearing that the presence of his hands will be misinterpreted, Biddlebaum hides his expressive hands. Because a person's physical hands are used to communicate feeling, ?Hands? is a tale about one of the sources of isolation, the inability to communicate feelings. ?Paper Pills? is the second chapter of the novel and deals with another cause of isolation, the inability to communicate thought. Because Doctor Reefy is afraid of communicating directly to another person, he writes his thoughts on little pieces of paper to prevent his thoughts from being misinterpreted."

From the Paper
"This study will compare the worlds described by Sherwood Anderson in "Winesburg, Ohio" and Meridel Le Sueur in "Salute to Spring". The study will consider how these two novels help the reader to understand the similarities and differences between the two periods covered---the early 1900s of Anderson's book (his work was first published in 1919) and the 1930s of Le Sueur's book (first published in 1940).
The basic difference between the two worlds is a political one. Anderson's book has a timeless quality which aims to shine light on the human condition as it might exist in any era. Anderson intends to show how most people are incapable of or unwilling to express themselves in any emotionally, psychologically or spiritual significant way, or simply do not find the encouragement or opportunity to do so. Anderson's ... "

From the Paper
"This research will examine Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio and Edgar Lee Masters's Spoon River Anthology, with a focus on the narrative of tension between the culture of small-town America and the culture of the wide world, and the bias both Anderson and Masters appear to have toward the latter rather than the former. The research will set forth the context in which the narrative pattern of each of the works emerges and discuss the pattern of ideas of each work in general terms, together with the means by which the theme of felt tension in (and advocacy of escape from) the narrowness of small-town life is developed in each.
Spoon River Anthology and Winesburg, Ohio are roughly contemporary literary works and similar in several ways, both as publishing products and as observed records of their milieu. Each work.."

Abstract
This paper discusses Sherwood Anderson?s novel entitled ?Winesburg, Ohio", a collection of short stories depicting an individual?s life in Ohio and how this character confronts the issue that he or she encounters. It looks at how one particular story that reflects and demonstrates effectively the author?s depiction of rural life is in ?Loneliness,? the story of Enoch Robinson and how he lived in his life in total ?loneliness? from childhood until his later life. It analyzes the three sub-themes within the theme of loneliness that can be found in ?Loneliness?, the conflict between modernism and traditionalism, the thin line between reality and imagination in the thoughts and behavior of the main character and the conflict between conformity/conventionalism and non-conformity/conventionalism. It relates these conflicts into the primary theme of loneliness in the story and to incorporate these themes in accordance to the author?s depiction of the theme of ?Loneliness? in ?Winesburg, Ohio.?
From the Paper
"The first theme that is evident in ?Loneliness? is the difference and conflict between modernism and traditionalism, which happens when Enoch seeks to educate himself in the modern city of New York as he plans to be a popular and acclaimed artist. Traditionalism is shown in his life in Ohio, wherein Enoch is described as a quiet but intelligent boy who is too preoccupied with his studies that it sometimes leads him to personal trouble. Traditional life in ?Loneliness? is illustrated as follows: ?Enoch lived in the house with his mother in those days and when he was a young boy went to school at the Winesburg High School. Old citizens remembered him as a quiet, smiling youth inclined to silence. He walked in the middle of the road when he came into town and sometimes read a book.? "

Grotesques, 2003.
Uses Sherwood Anderson's theory of the grotesque and Freud's theory of repression to discuss two stories in "Winesburg, Ohio":- "Hands" and "Godliness Part III".

Abstract
Because the characters in Anderson?s "Winesberg, Ohio" have difficulty communicating or even understanding their innermost feelings, it seems safe to say that the characters are psychologically repressed, as Freud explains the term. This paper asks what we gain and what we lose from thinking about inner life in the way that Anderson and Freud suggest. Are these theories of repression and the grotesque useful theories for thinking about inner life?
From the Paper
"In Winesburg, Ohio Sherwood Anderson creates an outwardly quaint midwestern town whose inhabitants all seem to harbor some deep personal sadness. Anderson refers to these characters as ?grotesques,? a term he introduces in the book?s prologue. The old writer from the prologue, who possibly represents Anderson himself, believes that hundreds of beautiful man-made truths exist in the world, and that these truth have a way of distorting and warping people when seized with a certain single-mindedness: ?the moment one of the people took one of the truths to himself, called it his truth, and tried to live his life by it, he became a grotesque and the truth he embraced became a false-hood?(26). Each story that follows brings the reader into the inner life of one of these characters at that crucial moment. The resulting disillusionment and sadness seems to come from the character?s inability to fully grasp his or her situation. Certain thoughts and feelings are repressed, leaving Anderson?s characters isolated and emotionally disfigured. In delving into these dark inner lives, Anderson relies heavily on the ideas of Sigmund Freud, particularly Freud?s concept of repression?the ego ridding itself of unacceptable ideas and desires by ?dumping? them into the unconscious. This repression, according to Freud, has a tendency to resurface in many negative ways, resulting in various forms of neurosis. From what Anderson and Freud suggest, we learn that when a person is repressed, they become a figure of the grotesque. We can use these theories to avoid being a part of the grotesque ourselves."

Abstract
This paper examines and reviews the imagery in Sherwood Anderson's short story "Hands," which offers a glimpse of small town life in America's Midwest. The writer of this also paper discusses and details the plot of the novel and the main character Wing Biddlebaum, who's described by Anderson as a poor little man, beaten, pounded and frightened by the world.
From the Paper
"One can tell from the imagery beginning with the decaying porch, that there was not much use fixing the place up. It was home, for whatever it looked like, to this nervous little bald man. Winesburg surely had, as most small Midwestern towns did, a sort of pecking order. There were the affluent, with fertile fields, or grain and feed stores, bankers and other businessmen who foreclosed loans and sold over-priced goods to their regular customers, while winning them over with the smiles."

Abstract
This paper introduces the novels above novels and examines how all of these pieces revolve around the central theme of the importance of relationships between the characters, especially the relationships between family members. It evaluates how each author illustrates them differently, while never straying from the importance they play in our lives and in our outlook on life.
From the Paper
"Arthur Miller's play "A View From the Bridge" is a tragedy revolving around the failed relationships of the Carbone family. Central to the play is the relationship between Eddie and his niece Catherine. Eddie is in love with Catherine, and at first will not admit his feelings. "It's tough to love a doll that's not your own" (Miller 32). However, by the end of the play he confronts his feelings, and pays the ultimate price for them. His wife understands his feelings, and ridicules him. "You want somethin' else, Eddie, and you can never have her!" (Miller 83). In the end, Eddie alienates his family, and dies at the hand of one of them. Miller's play is the ultimate look at bad relationships, and how they can tear a family apart."

Ohio Soils and Subsoil Clay, 2007.
This paper takes a look at the unusual soil composition found in Ohio from an agricultural perspective.
1,104 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This work researches and examines why many Ohio soils have significantly more clay in the subsoil than in their surface horizons or the soil parent material. The author argues that these changes are due to man's agricultural pursuits in the area. The paper also explores the soil in terms of Ohio's climate and the soil's organic composition.
From the Paper
"Soil organic matter is the source of nitrogen, phosphorus and other micronutrients needed in crop production and which is formed during the oxidization and decay processes that occur in the soil. The levels of these nutrients produced by the soil processes is difficult to change. According to the work entitled: " " published in the Agronomy Bulletin: "Historically, when forages were part of the crop rotation, nutrient release and soil tilth increased due to the season-long production of roots. Currently, well fertilized, high-yielding grain crops return large volumes of residue to the soil and are a source of nutrients. On medium-textured soils low in organic matter, crop residues are usually more beneficial when left on the surface than when incorporated. During the growing season this surface residue reduces the formation of soil crusts and results in increased water infiltration and higher crop yields. Crop residue on the surface of fine-textured soils such as silty clay loam or clay loam may delay planting by delaying soil drying." (Ohio Agronomy Guide, 14th Edition; accessed online 2006-04-08)"

"Autumn Begins in Martins Ferry, Ohio", 2002.
Examines how James Wright portrays life in Middle America through his poem, "Autumn Begins in Martins Ferry, Ohio".

Abstract
James Wright comments on life in an American steel town with his poem "Autumn Begins in Martins Ferry, Ohio." Using free verse, Wright is nonetheless able to imbue the poem with flowing cadence. The paper shows how the poet offers his readers a glimpse into a small segment of Americana, while at the same time delivering universal human truths. The paper shows how "Autumn Begins" is an observation of the crowd and activity at a high school football game. In the first stanza, the narrator muses about the various minority groups in Martins Ferry. The second stanza is devoted to the state of affairs of American family life and the state of mind of the wives at home. Finally, the third stanza depicts the young athletes, who play an aggressive sport that mimics their father's hard work. The paper shows that "Autumn Begins in Martins Ferry, Ohio" combines modern poetic devices and a somber tone to convey life in Middle America.
From the Paper
"While the free verse style of the poem does not provide the reader with metric structure, it does correspond to the content of the poem. The narrator, who remains unidentified throughout the poem, speaks in a reflective tone. He or she wishes to remain an observer and does not reveal anything about him or herself. The focus of the poem is on the people and situations described by the narrator. While any judgments made about life in Martins Ferry, Ohio are subtle, the tone of the poem becomes dark and almost foreboding. Diction is the key to conveying such a tone; the poet chooses such words as ?starved,? ?dying,? ?suicidally,? and ?terribly.? Even at the beginning of the poem, images of gray-faced ?Negroes in the blast furnace,? and ?ruptured night watchmen? build an atmosphere of depression. While the narrator watches an innocent high school football match, he or she notices that the people in this town do not live lives of joy."

Abstract
This paper examines the history of the United States, focusing particularly on Ohio and the twentieth president of the United States of America, James Abram Garfield, who was born there. The paper illustrates the scenario James Abram Garfield was born into, and describes the role played by his family and religion in his life.

The paper discusses the assassination of Garfield and outlines his legacy.
From the Paper
"The United States of America is a nation that has a significantly rich and eventful history, particularly when considered in the light of such things as the assassinations of presidents like that of Kennedy and Garfield. Consider also the violence that erupted as a result of the slavery and racism that was prevailing during the era prior to the American civil war, somewhere during the early 1860s. The instability that was inherent to the country at the time was virtually unimaginable in so much as the extremity prevalent to them."

Abstract
This position statement examines the appropriate use of punishment in the Ohio Correctional System. The writer proposes that it is an accepted fact that correctional systems must use some form of punishment, but the reasons for using punishments are extremely diverse in their intents and purposes. The paper discusses how arguments can be made in favor of using punishment as a means of retribution for crimes committed, incapacitation of the prisoner when in the system, creating physical and psychological forms of deterrence, helping form an environment of restorative justice, and rehabilitation of the prisoner's existing behavior.

Abstract
The paper covers many famous court case which deal with the exclusionary rule and how they relate to the fourth and fifth amendments in the Constitution. The exclusionary rule applies to the waiver of production of evidence that may incriminate someone. If the evidence is regarding defrauding, this evidence is excluded from this rule.
From the Paper
"Injustices occur every day in the eyes of citizens that are law abiding. The due process clause of the Constitution sometimes allows people who have committed crimes to be freed based on technicalities. These technicalities can also usually be called mistakes on the part of criminal justice personnel. Someone who has dedicated his or her life to protecting truth and justice made a mistake, knowingly or unknowingly and thus society pays the price. Allowing a criminal to go free never seems to be the just thing to do. However, considering it was a provision of the Constitution it is the right thing to do purely based on the fact the Constitution was created to protect the rights of citizens, good or bad."

From the Paper
"Dirty air and dirty water prompted North American governments to consider legislation to prevent environmental pollution in the 1950s and 1960s. It was not simply that the air and water were polluted. Rather, it was because such pollution was being ever increasingly linked to serious human health problems (Pringle, 1980, p. 33). Environmental policy, in the context of this study, concerns both health and ecological aspects. Environmental health policy concerns pollution that either directly affects the health of humans or affects human health through the effects of environmental pollution on the food chain. Environmental pollution policy affects those actions that lead or have the potential to lead to ecological ..."
