Abstract
This paper first relates that the literature review supporting the research clearly indicates that the provision of adjunct tourism services to hajj pilgrims has become a growth industry. Next, the author outlines the purposes of the study to provide tour operators with verified information about relevant sites to enhance the hajj experience and to understand the elements that are important to these pilgrims.The paper suggests a secondary research methodology using a critical review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature and a primary methodology using a custom quantitative and qualitative survey of hajj pilgrims and tour service patrons designed to identify those elements of the experience that are deemed most important. The paper includes statistical tables and figures.

From the Paper
"Since the birth of Islam, it has been a requirement that all Muslims who are able to do so must perform the Hajj, or pilgrimage, to Mecca at least once in a lifetime. Since the earliest days there are certain to have been those who have performed their pilgrimage before subsequently failing to return home for one reason or another. This suggests that the attraction to these holy sites and the region in which they are situated is sufficiently compelling to a large number of Muslims to make these areas highly attractive in terms of their potential as tourist attractions as well."

Abstract
This paper begins by comparing speeches by civil rights activists Martin Luther King, Jr ("I Have a Dream") and Malcolm X ("The Ballot or the Bullet"). It explains and compares the differences in tones, use of imagery and other techniques which made these two speeches so memorable. The paper then analyzes "Dying To Be Thin" by Jennifer Breuer to give an example of a speech which is more clinical and informative in nature. Women's rights activist, Elizabeth Cady Stanton's speech "The Declaration of Sentiments", given at the 1848 Seneca Falls Conference is then discussed as an example of a combination of learning, education, experience, eloquence and passion.

From the Paper
"With this shift in language, and thus shift in perspective, Stanton makes a radical statement about the equality of women to men in the public sphere. This was something that most Americans in the middle of the 19th century did not believe (or had not considered). To be an effective advocate for her cause, Stanton had both to reveal and to conceal the truly radical nature of her ideas. By phrasing her analysis of women's rights in terms of the Declaration of Independence, Stanton was (implicitly) arguing that what she was arguing for was not radical, was simply a natural and even necessary extension of the rights of all and any Americans that the Revolutionary War had been fought to gain. But, by phrasing her analysis of women's rights in terms of the Declaration of Independence, Stanton was also (implicitly) arguing that her demands were as radical and as morally right as those demands made by the colonists to King George."

Abstract
This paper offers examples from 'The Waste Land' and 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'. It discusses how the brilliant poetic mind of T. S. Eliot mixes inner and outer experiences to create memorable lines that reverberate in the minds of his listeners. The seeming obscurity of Eliot's imagery is discussed as well as his "magic lantern" processing of images. The critical opinions of Cleanth Brooks help to demonstrate Eliot's creative process.

From the Paper
"The poetry of T.S. Eliot is an emphatic example of how "the poet's mind is. . .a receptacle for seizing and storing up numberless feelings, phrases, images, which remain there until all the particles which can unite to form a new compound are present together" (Eliot, "Tradition and the Individual Talent" 8). These words from one of the many essays he wrote on the subject of poetic creation, show how well Eliot knew his own poetic process. Eliot is an extremely self conscious poet, delving into his process more thoroughly than other poets who are less intellectual or introspective. This paper offers examples from "The Waste Land" and "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" of how the cauldron of Eliot's poetic mind mixes inner and outer experiences to create indelible lines that reverberate in the minds of his listeners."

Abstract
This paper explains that 20th century pioneers of the constructivism movement include Jean Piaget, John Dewey, and Lev Vygotsky. The author stresses that teaching using inquiry emphasizes a hands-on, problem-centered approach, applies investigational or analytical strategies as opposed to the textbook "scientific method", and purports that developing an understanding of scientific constructs is more important than memorizing data. The paper includes a lesson plan for studying Egyptian hieroglyphics based on the Schwab Inquiry Model, a structured laboratory inquiry. Table.

From the Paper
"Dewey's approach to epistemology deals with the relationship between knowledge and action. According to Toulmin, Dewey's work contains a "radical dismantling of epistemological tradition,
displaying "farsightedness, perception and originality of a kind that could hardly be recognized [at the time it appeared]." Dewey's widely publicized article of 1896 entitled: "The Reflex Arc Concept in Psychology" denounced the contemporary notion of viewing organisms as separate from their environment. His posture melds the subjective (individual) and intersubjective (sociocultural) dimensions of knowledge attainment into a sole constructivist framework. He stated: "It is the motor response of attention which constitutes that, which finally becomes the stimulus to another act.""

Abstract
Many researchers have shown that mental imagery is extremely beneficial when it comes to memory. After examining several studies and experiments where imagery and rehearsal strategies were used to test memory, the paper concludes that imagery is a far better study technique than repetition. The paper also shows the benefits of memory studies such as helping teachers with lecture techniques, improving students study habits and providing researchers with a more clear understanding of what goes on in the human brain when dealing with memory.

From the Paper
"Pictorial memory, using the imagery technique to recall, proved to be superior over verbal memory in a study done where subjects were presented with 18 picture pairs and 18 word pairs and were told to remember them according to either the imagery or repetition technique (Yarmey & Barker, 1971). Participants were given eight seconds to study each word pair and then were presented with a stimulus and asked to recall the second word in the pair. Results showed that imagery study was more effective than repetition study. Even when conducting a delayed test, retention of picture pairs was superior to word pairs. These results support the theory that pictorial stimuli are more easily differentiated and also subject to less interference than concrete nouns (Yarmey & Barker, 1971)."

Abstract
The writer posits that visiting the James Joyce Centre on North Great George's Street in Dublin is a memorable experience, for the exhibitions dedicated to the life and work of one of Ireland's greatest writers provide many insights into Joyce's personality, beliefs, and character traits, which are infused into his novels and short stories through his protagonists. The writer asserts that one of the most interesting aspects of this infusion is that it reveals the autobiographical nature of much of Joyce's fiction, for many of his protagonists are literary personifications of Joyce himself.

Abstract
This paper compares three novels written in the post-colonial era of Latin America and the Caribbean. These works are "One Hundred Years of Solitude," "Wide Sargasso Sea", and "Breath, Eyes, Memory." According to the paper, they are similar in many ways, for all three authors present themes of loss, nostalgia, and remembrance. Through exploring the function and importance of loss, nostalgia, and remembrance, the paper shows how these three novels become voyages of discovery that reveal the deepest meaning of human existence, examine the basis of family and human relationships, and provide memorable experiences that can shed much needed light on the darkness of human existence.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in "Red Cavalry", "Envy" and "Kolyma Tales, the prisoners in the labor camp and soldiers in the war were more alike than different because, although they both had little to motivate them and less to live for, these people strove to escape to freedom. The author points out that, nevertheless, for the characters in these novels, death is the ultimate end; although few of the characters were frightened or showed they were frightened. The paper relates that hunger was one of the most compelling and memorable experiences, as illustrated by Babel's passage about the killing of a goose and the camaraderie it brought to Gorky or by Olesha's passage, which referred to a man just about to dig into a huge evening "snack". The paper includes several comparative quotations.

From the Paper
"In addition, they indicate the tenacity and sheer will of the men. Pugachov has survived a German POW camp, a military trial, and another labor camp, all for fighting for his country and doing nothing wrong. In the "Red Cavalry", the men are all fighting a war they do not think will ever end, and yet they continue to endure terrible conditions to continue with their mission. These men all have an incredible will to live, but they are not stupid, and recognize there comes a time when will is not enough. The men of the Cavalry fight because it is their duty, and they die, as well, like the Rabbi's son, who Gorky calls the "last prince". "

Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the life of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Specifically, the writer discusses his life, his presidency, and his accomplishments while he was president. The writer notes that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was one of the nation's most memorable presidents for a number of reasons. The writer points out that he was the first and only president to be elected to an unprecedented four terms in office. The writer also points out that Roosevelt reacted to the national emergency of Pearl Harbor, which entered the country into World War II, resurrected the country from the Great Depression and was the nation's only disabled president. The writer maintains that his presidency accomplished much and many of the programs he implemented while in office are still in place today.

From the Paper
"In addition to closing the banks and implementing many new federal agencies during the first hundred days, he and Congress drafted legislation regarding mortgages and loans. They created the Home Loan Act, the Farm Loan Act, and the Bankruptcy Act, which all helped safeguard property owners and workers who were out of work. There were also stricter regulations for the stock market, which had essentially created the Great Depression when it crashed in October 1929. He also created the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, which Congress allocated millions of dollars to help those in the most need around the country. However, Roosevelt did not sit back after the first one hundred days in office. The Great Depression essentially continued throughout the 30s until the advent of World War II, and because of this, Roosevelt continued to create programs and agencies that would help the country get back on its feet throughout his administrations."

Abstract
The following essay describes the memorable and culture enriched journey one experiences when entering the Pantheon in Rome.It discusses amongst other things the way in which the Pantheon still manages to communicate with us so vividly across such a vast expanse of time.

From the paper:

"As Stendhal wrote, "It requires only a few moments to be penetrated by its beauty. You stop before the portico; you take a few steps, you see the church, and the whole thing is over." Stendhal also claimed that he had never met any person who was unmoved by this sublime experience. "
