Conclusion
From the Paper
"The literal view of hell, as espoused by John Walvoord, claims that hell is exactly what the Bible claims it is. He points out that most of society's view of hell is equivalent to a caricature of the Dark Ages. The human mind can't fathom the idea of eternal righteousness and has trouble placing so much faith in the Scriptures. He adheres to a strict orthodox version of hell wherein there is a literal everlasting punishment that is not redemptive. He uses examples such as Deuteronomy 32:22 and Isaiah 33:14-15, which imply that the wicked will be punished by fire. Walvoord also point out that every time Jesus uses the word gehenna, with the exception of James 3:6, he means to imply everlasting punishment. Jesus also speaks of degrees of punishment in hell, which, if true, would appear to contradict a conditional or purgatorial view. Revelation 14:10-11 clearly proclaim eternal punishment for the wicked. Walvoord also says that the Greek word aionios, the word for eternal punishment, is used seven times. He claims that the problem with accepting a literal view of hell is based on theology, not Biblical exegesis. He sums up his argument with the idea that is people are to accept God's doctrines of love and grace, they just have to accept His doctrine of eternal punishment as well. The doctrine of eternal punishment is based on righteousness."

Abstract
The paper discusses the book "Four Views on Hell" by William Crockett, theologian at the Alliance Theological Seminary, who invited his three colleagues, John Walvoord at Dallas Theological Seminary, Zachary Hayes at the Catholic Theological Union and Clark Pinnock at McMaster Divinity College, to give their interpretation of hell. The paper summarizes how the four theologians explain how they view God's punishment to wrongdoers from their particularly evangelical perspective.

Review of Book
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Of course, for most people reading this book, the scholar who provides the best argument is probably the one who comes closest to their own view on the subject of hell and the Bible in general. Looking at these four authors objectively, however, the winner of the debate is the one who: provides the most relevant examples from the Bible to back up his theory; stays closest to the topic and specific question on hand; and not only supports his own views but negates the others. It is up to the reader to decide which he/she felt "objectively" did this best."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Motorcycle gangs are known to have formed after WWII. Motorcycles were cheap in the 1940's, and former military personnel formed up on weekends riding and partying together. Two of the first such fraternities were the Pissed Off Bastards and the Booze Fighters, groups that established early the notoriety of the outlaw biker image. In 1947, at an American Motorcycle Association convention in the drowsy town of Hollister, Calif., the Pissed Off Bastards rode in drunk, wild and destructive, landing as if behind enemy lines with a belly full of TNT. (Jamison, 2000)."

Twelve-Step Program to Escaping Dante?s Hell, 2002.
A comparison of the hell described in Dante's "The Inferno" to the twelve-step program required by an alcoholic to pass by AA.

Abstract
Dante?s "The Inferno" paints an incredibly vivid picture of what Hell is like. The journey Dante undertakes in order to progress pass his ?lost? stage and escape Hell can be likened to the 12-Step Program a recovering alcoholic must complete in order to finally escape from the clutches of drinking to excess. This paper explores Dante?s journey through the perspective of this 12-Step Program. By going through each step, one can witness the introspective and emotional self-examination Dante goes through, with a little help from his support group, in order to get out of Hell.
From the Paper
"The first step that every recovering alcoholic must take involves the process of admitting his or her problem. Alcoholics must acknowledge that they are helpless when battling their addiction and they must admit that this addiction to drink has wreaked havoc on their lives to the point where they have lost control (Alcoholic Anonymous, 1955, 59). Dante?s predicament is no different to that of an alcoholic struggling to regain control over his or her life. At the beginning of the poem, Dante is portrayed as having gotten lost on the path of life and trying to get back on the right path. Using imagery, Dante recalls that ?in the middle of his life, he [finds] himself lost in a dark forest, having lost the right path while half asleep.? "

The Evolution of Hell, 2004.
Tracks the evolution of hell via classical literature.

Abstract
This paper plots the evolution of hell by examining the ancient literature of different eras. The paper points out how society's current perception of hell is drastically different from the perception of hell held originally by the masses.
From the Paper
"For thousands of years the perception of hell and the afterlife has evolved. Currently society thinks of it as a den of eternal torture, full of fire, sulfur, and brimstone; however, this was not always the case. Relative to the age of the afterlife, hell is a new idea. Nevertheless, hell has changed much in its short lifespan. By studying ancient literature, we are able to track this evolution. Long ago, souls were not judged and went unpunished. Long ago, hell as an inferno of torment was just blooming inside the head of men. In this time, there was no hell."

The Hells Angels, 2008.
A review of the organized crime motorcycle gang referred to as "Hells Angels".
894 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper introduces and analyzes the topic of organized crime, specifically concentrating on the Hells Angel's motorcycle crime group. The paper highlights the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) as a notorious motorcycle group that evolved into a gang engaging in criminal and organized crime activities. The paper notes that the group, formed in 1948, is notorious today for its violence, drug dealing, and extortion practices. The Hells Angels Bomber Squadron of World War II inspired their name, but none of the bomber squadron members became members of the HAMC.
From the Paper
"In addition, many other criminal investigations have turned up large amounts of money, weapons, drugs, and evidence of other illegal activities, such as extortion and coercion by club members and in clubhouses across America and the world. The club Web site maintains that "1 percent of their members are bad, and ruin the reputation of the remaining 99 percent", but the evidence continues to point to the fact that many HAMC activities are gang and crime related, and that many of its members join the organization for reasons other than a passion for motorcycles."

Abstract
All of faiths have a belief about what happens to your body and soul after death. This paper explores the seven different levels of heaven and the seven different levels of hell that Muslims believe in, as well as the heaven and hell that Catholic-Christians believe in. Similarities and differences in the different beliefs are brought out, and all facts are supported by the Bible, Qur'an, and/or primary sources from the religions.
From the Paper
"One of the most central things in any religion is what happens to somebody when they die. Some religions believe that nothing happens, others that the dead person?s soul is reincarnated, but most, including Islam, believe that dead souls are sent to Heaven or to Hell. Muslims believe in a physical Heaven which Allah created, as well as a physical Hell, also the creation of Allah. Heaven is located in the skies above the earth, and Hell is located underneath this earth. To better understand where one goes after their death, it is important to understand the Islamic teachings of Heaven and Hell and compare them to the Catholic teachings of Heaven and Hell found in the Bible."

Hell, 2002.
A comparative analysis of the concept of hell in the two works: "The Divine Comedy" and "The Aeneid".

Abstract
This paper explores the concept of hell as represented by Dante in "The Divine Comedy" and by Publius Vergilius Maro in "The Aeneid". The idea of different tiers for different sinners in hell, present in each of these works, is compared and contrasted.
From the Paper
"The journeys through Hell, as described by Dante Alighieri, in "The Devine Comedy", and Publius Vergilius Maro, in "The Aeneid", Book VI, are conceptually similar but different in details. In fact, Dante?s, The Devine Comedy was highly influenced by the writing of Vergil, and it is shown by Dante?s choice to make the trip to the underworld with the poet, Vergil.
"The first point that makes their descriptions similar is that each traveler, Aeneas, in The Aeneid, and Dante, in The Devine Comedy, start their journey of Hell in dark, black woods. After making their way through the dark, black woods, they end up at the river shores. Here there is a difference between the two poems."

The Descent Into Hell, 2004.
This paper offers an explanation of hell according to Dante's poem "The Divine Comedy."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper attempts an explanation of hell, according to Dante's epic poem "The Divine Comedy." The paper discusses the second part of the poem, The Inferno. The paper describes Dante's journey as his descent into hell. Finally, the paper compares him to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.
From the Paper
"The Descent into Hell: The second part of Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy" that which is known as the Inferno acts as a prime example of a pre-modern version of hell. In this hell are sinners of all kinds from all the centuries. The hell that Dante creates is not the same as the one we imagine today though Dante's vision has certainly shaped the one of the present. As the character Dante descends into hell he is witness to the afterlives of different kinds of sinners."

Abstract
The paper traces the early development of motorcycle gangs that led to the founding of the Hells' Angels. The paper contrasts different peoples' and groups' perceptions of, and analyzes the bases of their antipathy for, or support of, the gang. It reviews media attention the gang has garnered, including the period when author Hunter Thompson rode with the gang, and the book which he eventually wrote about that time. It also mentions other books written by member of the gang themselves, and includes some anecdotes about various notorious gang members. In conclusion, the writer expresses the feeling that if the Hells' Angels had better portrayed themselves at an earlier stage, they would not be so despised today.
From the Paper
"The Hell's Angels may be the largest motorcycle gang, but they were not the first. "The Booze Fighters" were the first of what was to become a new breed of motorcyclists, the outlaw gang. During one fourth of July celebration in 1947, they lived up (or down) to their name, and terrorized the agricultural town of Hollister, California. This not only got them into the news, but got their story eventually into the movies, with a film entitled "The Wild One." Three years later, in another small California city called Fontana, some other young motorcyclists saw the reports in newspapers and LIFE magazine, and decided to emulate the media's accounts of these outlaw bikers. This group took its name from a 1930s movie of the same name, that had nothing to do with motorcycles. Directed by Howard Hughes and starring Jean Harlow, it portrayed the exploits of a group of World War I fliers, calling themselves "The Hell's Angels."

William Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell", 2007.
This paper examines William Blake's work "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" in relationship to the Enlightenment.

Abstract
In this paper, the writer considers William Blake's novel "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" as a reaction to the Enlightenment. William Blake saw the Enlightenment as favoring the rational over the imaginative and explicitly reacts to this thought process in "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell." The paper discusses how Blake contrasts science, poetry, rationality, and imagination to show the limitations and problems that privileging the rational has had by exploring the imaginative in a diabolic way.
From the Paper
"Blake dismisses the advantage that has been placed upon good over evil by taking on a diabolical voice and condemns the Church, as it has condemned men, by explaining that "All bibles or sacred codes have been the causes of the following Errors:..."6 (Plate 4), then affirming that "the following Contraries to these are true:..."6 (Plate 4). Blake uses this rejection of the bible to point out the misleading notions that the Church has caused, then blatantly writes "Those, who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be/ restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place and governs the unwilling."6 (Plate 5) Here, Blake points out the insufficiencies that "conventional moral[ity]"6 (1377) holds while restraining those who do not wish to follow, as a prediction of the breaking away from Church or State governance."

Hell's Angels, 2006.
An analysis of the Hell's Angels as an organized crime group.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines an organized crime group, stating that one home-grown group many might not see as an example of organized crime is the motorcycle group the Hell's Angels, though this is an example of an organized crime group that has been involved in a wide variety of types of crime and that has done so while creating a corporation-like organization to bring together different chapters under one leadership.
From the Paper
"Organized crime has been a major issue for the criminal justice system for decades, though the types of gang involved have changed. Probably the best-known of the organized crime groups in America has been the Mafia or Cosa Nostra, which has also had a strong presence in Sicily and throughout Europe. That group developed among Italian immigrant groups by criminals seeking to take advantage of other immigrants. More recently, other immigrant groups have brought their particular brand of crime along with them and have formed new groups, many much more violent than the Mafia, and many structured around the drug trade."

Dante's "Inferno": The Structure of Hell, 2005.

Abstract
Dante Alighieri's "The Comedy "is one of the most recognized pieces of literature in the modern world. Dante completed the first of the three books contained in "The Comedy" in 1314; "Divine" was not added to the title until much later. The other two books, "Pergatorio" and "Paradisio", would soon follow. But it is "Inferno" that brings forth imagery so intense that it has seldom been rivaled. This paper takes a look at Dante's "Inferno", specifically his description of the different levels of hell.
From the Paper
"As the story advances we begin to see with much more clarity Dante's structure of Hell. Descending down through the lower circles of Hell, Virgil shows Dante the increasing brutality of the punishment. Until the fifth circle, Dante is still in the upper section of Hell. In this segment the penalties seem almost tolerable, considering what is witnessed later on. In the first circle, which houses the un-baptized infants and virtuous Pagans, the inhabitants merely pine away in a state of melancholy, a world of desire without hope. While this would be enough to drive anyone mad, especially such great thinkers as Plato and Socrates who are witnessed there, this is but a day in the park when compared to the constant torture of the residents of the lower levels of Hell."
