From the Paper
"A new Yankee Stadium for the New York Yankees baseball club has been in consideration for many years but was not officially announced until June 15 of 2005. This baseball stadium is an open air stadium with a seating capacity of 51,000 and is scheduled for completion in April of 2009 ("Yankee" par.1). The new stadium is located adjacent to the present Yankee Stadium and is but a portion of a larger redevelopment project for that area. While the architect is HOK Sport located in Kansas City, the developer has not been selected yet. The overall cost of the project is expected to be approximately $1.02b in a mixture of public and private financing (Ozanian). One major emphasis in planning, design and construction of the new Yankee Stadium is that its exterior closely resembles that of the original."

Abstract
The paper discusses that the success of many companies' websites varies markedly, showing that products and the reputation of the bricks-and-mortar store are not sufficient to inspire success via website sales. The paper discusses the website of Yankee Candle, the industry leader in premium scented candles. The paper discusses how their website exploits all the advantages of online shopping and therefore enjoys high customer satisfaction. The paper concludes that their website successfully incorporates the advantages of bricks-and-mortar stores while still creating a pleasurable and simple online search for products.
From the Paper
"Many companies' websites sell similar, if not equivalent, products to similar demographics in close geographic regions. Despite this, the success of many companies' websites varies markedly, giving credence to the theory that products and the reputation of the bricks-and-mortar store aren't sufficient to inspire success via website sales (Totty 2001). Successful websites can expand and build on the reputation and name recognition of a bricks and mortar store; however, they can also become entities unto themselves and offer options not available in a physical store, like 24-hour ordering and customer service, faster location of a product, and side-by-side comparisons of specific features and options."

"The Last Yankee", 2002.
An examination of marriages and relationships in Arthur Miller's "The Last Yankee".

»

Abstract
This paper discusses how in his play "The Last Yankee", Arthur Miller presents two marriages under strain because of differing needs and perceptions by the husbands and wives who once thought they shared everything and who now believe they share less and less all the time. The paper discusses how new feelings have emerged to replace the feelings of love that began these marriages, and these new feelings include anger, resentment, anxiety, self-doubt, and disgust. It shows how the couples might survive if each member could learn to forgive his or her spouse, but instead, each person is too taken up with a need for self-justification and self-preservation at the expense of his or her spouse.
From the Paper
"The story is set in a state-run mental hospital, and three women are being treated there for clinical depression. Patricia is married to Leroy Hamilton, a carpenter, and she believes he is a failure because he does not have the necessary ambition to achieve anything in this competitive world. Karen is married to Mr. Frick, and he is highly successful, quite the opposite of Leroy Hamilton. Indeed, Mr. Frick is a driven man, a type-A personality who owns businesses that dominate the local economy and make him an important man in the business world of the area. Both Karen and Patricia, however, see themselves as failures, in part because of their husbands--Patricia would be a success if she were married to a success, and Karen would be a success if her husband allowed her to be one instead of centering all ambition and all desire in himself and his career. The third woman is hiding from life and is disappointed at everything she has ever tried. It is the two married couples who are central to the play, however."

?A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur?s Court?, 2002.

Abstract
This paper analyzes how in his "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur?s Court", Mark Twain seeks to satirize many of the "romantic? notions about the legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. It looks at how his depiction of 6th century England reveals a time and a country that is rife with political, economic and social problems where many people are subjugated by fear of the supernatural and forced to lead oppressed lives. It discusses how Twain?s novel seeks to tell us as much about the failings of 19th century post-Enlightenment American ideology as it does to criticize the romantic vision of King Arthur.
From the Paper
"In his zeal to develop 6th century England into a technologically-advanced republic based on democratic principles, the Yankee unleashes all of the horrors of modern warfare upon the knights that try to stop him. In this final battle, we see the ways in which Twain?s satire has increasingly come to question the values of America in the 19th century, and that this critique is just as profound and deep-seated as his earlier attacks on the romanticism of Arthurian England. The Yankee?s idea is that it is only the Church and the aristocracy that are opposed to a republic, because a democratic government would not benefit them since they already possess a higher role in the social order under the monarchy. Hank argues that if he and his supporters can just get rid of the upper echelon of British society, then they will have control of the country and can set up a new government."

"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", 2004.
A review of Mark Twain's novel "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", which presents a humorous picture of the sixth century A.D. The paper asserts that, in the story, Twain not only ridicules the customs and traditions of this ancient British civilization, but he also criticizes his present day American society, making it unclear as to which group Twain was indicting in this novel. The paper concludes that, by creating an "all American" character such as Hank who is proud and almost egotistical about the advances of his time, Twain is able to point out how much some "good old American know-how" could have improved Camelot and the lives of the people living in it while also taking subtle jabs at the American people's overt self-confidence.
From the Paper
"Throughout the novel, Twain continuously pokes fun at the gullibility of the extremely religious people, from King to commoners, which he meets during his journey. He becomes "The Boss" simply by using knowledge and skills he had from his more advanced era to come up with different ploys that will fool them into thinking of him as mighty and powerful. For example, when a water well in a community of monks is not filling with water, the monks all assume it is a punishment from God and are shocked when "The Boss" says he can magically solve their problem and refill the well with water. He recalls a time in America when an oil well had ceased to flow. Dynamite was used to blast it out and allow the flow to continue. This would also cause a sudden surge of water that would astonish those present."

"A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur?s Court", 2004.

Abstract
This paper examines the ways in which Twain used wit, repartee, and an engaging cast of characters in "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur?s Court" to make a strong statement against imperialism. It also looks at how some of his other works, like "Huckleberry Finn", also have social messages against slavery.
From the Paper
"Twain?s novel suggests that when different people come together the one with the simpler weapons will always lose: It only takes a handful of imperialists (and indeed in the novel it takes only one) to lay waste to the structure of an entire culture. The message of the novel is that meddling is bound to lead to terrible consequences. (Although a secondary reading of the novel might well be that such imperialist meddling is also inevitable.)"

From the Paper
"Mark Twain in his satirical novel A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court develops his satire with a dual thrust, one prong directed at the British and their superior attitude, and the other at Americans and what Twain sees as the myth of the entrepreneur who succeeds by superior ability and force of will. Hank Morgan is the American who finds himself far from home both in terms of place and time and who resolves that he will be able to become boss of the whole place in a short time because he is infused with the American spirit of the entrepreneur. The England he faces does not live up to the myth that has been promoted by British writers like Sir Walter Scott. Instead, the King Arthur of "reality" is unqualified as a leader, just as the people are superstitious, easily gulled, and foolish in their own ways. While this might seem to make this England fertile ground ... "

Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court may be the author's most misunderstood work. This can be traced the book's dual strands that often seem contradictory
From the Paper
"Introduction
Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court may be the author's most misunderstood work. This can be traced the book's dual strands that often seem contradictory. Twain wrote a novel that is part polemic and part farce, and while attacking institutions he often praises individuals who make up those institutions. This paper will examine Twain's work and attempt to ascertain his true intent.
A Connecticut Yankee as Polemic
Later in life, Twain wrote that Connecticut Yankee "was an attempt to imagine, and after a fashion set forth, the hard conditions of life for the laboring and defenseless poor in bygone times in England, and incidentally contrast these conditions with those under which the civil and ecclesiastical pets of privilege and high ..."

Human Morality in "Huck Finn" and "A Connecticut Yankee", 2000.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows through Mark Twain's books "Huck Finn" and "A Connecticut Yankee" that one of Twain's major convictions is that people are innately evil. With examples from both books to illustrate the point, the paper shows how Twain uses his narrators as a channel to convey the message that society and the masses are cruel, and always projects a hero as the isolated person, brave enough to transcend the rules and achieve a higher ideal.
From the Paper
"In The Damned Human Race, Twain declares that he has been "studying the traits and dispositions of the lower animals (so-called), and contrasting them with traits and dispositions of man" (Devoto 176). The results were "humiliating." His findings can be uncovered throughout the two novels. "Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it" (Devoto 179). These are Twain's own words, and they come to life in Yankee when Hank relays the images of the knights and ladies watching a dogfight and after the tournament, when the screams of the dying losers resonate throughout the stadium (Kepos 385)."

"A King and His Court: Fact and Fantasy
In A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur?s Court, Mark Twain wrote a satiric fantasy about a 19th century Yankee master mechanic who wakes up in 6th century Britain. The observations of the main character, Henry Morgan, could be similar to those of a first-time foreign visitor to the White House and Congress. Through personal narration, the reader accompanies Morgan from mild amusement and curiosity to gradual recognition of the cruelty, ignorance and superstition which prevails in Camelot.
Through the course of the story, Morgan uses guile and his technical and scientific knowledge to unseat the wizard Merlin and force King Arthur to grant him authority over the kingdom second only to his. In this version of King Arthur?s court, Merlin is depicted as a wicked old fraud. As the King?s magistrate.."

Abstract
This paper discusses the rivalry between and stiff competition between the baseball teams from Boston and New York City, the Red Sox and the Yankees. It examines the root causes of this rivalry which dates back to 1920 when Harry Frazee, the ?unlucky? owner of Red Sox, sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees for $100,000 and never won a World Series again. This is now known as the Curse of the Bambino which has badly affected the Red Sox performance and fans are keenly awaiting a strong comeback 84 years after the team won its last major championship. It evaluates the games and decisions over the years since 1920, which have served as catalysts for this enduring rivalry and how Red Sox needs to get over this curse jinx if they truly want to beat Yankees and reduce the impact of this long and fierce rivalry.
From the Paper
"Since that fateful Bambino trade, New York Yankees has maintained its domination in the field of baseball. Not only do they play skillfully, they also have the right attitude towards the game. Apart from that they have the psychological edge over Red Sox that is backed by a wonderful record. A rivalry, which was initiated by Babe Ruth, was gave a enduring touch by other great players including Bucky Dent whose home run hit in 1978 occupies a major place in the successful history of Yankees."

From the Paper
"The increasing rise in popularity of Major League Soccer as well as of the National Football league poses competitive threats to the Yankees franchise. These other professional sports leagues are effective at marketing and building a message of excitement and passion which is a message that Major League Baseball has often confused or garbled. The Yankees must create an integrated message to sell to its fan base and new potential fans that represent its history, its passion for the sport, and its roots in the New York community and ethos."
