Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses "Returning to Dwell in Gardens and Fields I," written by Tao Qian. It describes his work as an elegant and rather autobiographical poem and describes the context in which Qian wrote it. The paper discusses the content of Qian's poetry and the messages that are revealed through it to the contemporary reader.

From the Paper
"As Owen expressed it, the mistake might be made, the poem seems to be saying, of mistaking Tao Qian for a farmer, for he may be seen to work at clearing scrub from the edges of his property, but he explains in the poem that he does not compare himself to the farmers, or to the officials known in the cities, so much as he speaks to humanity or understanding persons, of whatever origin, who might sense the reasons for his choice and departure from a town life that others might very much covet. (See Mirror 234) His poem has done as Tao Qian feels he must, in explaining himself. He writes as though knowing his reader will understand, perhaps a person like himself faced with similar realizations, or having made similar choices. The whole idea of true nature is debatable in that the poet argues he belongs where he was in youth whereas other readers will argue that as a self-conscious farmer, able to describe his present life in relation to something else, that Tao Qian is forever differentiated. As Owen points out, Tao Qian stresses the unity of the self and of the chosen role but even these give away his doubleness, the reader learning how to presume nothing from surfaces and wondering "how inner and outer can be brought together, again." (Mirror 79)"

Abstract
In this article, the writer presents a short summary of Tao Qian's "Returning to Dwell in Gardens and Fields I" in relation to Owen's remarks on doubleness and the hidden nature in Chinese poetry of the time. The writer discusses that the narrator explains his having lived more than one life, his choice of what remained from the past, a hidden magistrate among peasants, the location presumed to be the unifier in that it allows Peace.

Abstract
This paper discusses Thoreau, a rebellious lone farmer who relies on self-sufficiency. It includes excerpts from his book "The Bean Fields" and discusses them. Thoreau did all of the farming on his own and by doing so, he discovered that the Indians had been there before him. It includes economical observations and insights made by Thoreau.

From the Paper
"In "The Bean Fields," Thoreau talks about the economics of farming. He says that he planted beans in his field, but that Indians used the land before him and the soil doesn't have the fertilizer and manure needed to grow the crops well any more. He had helped plowing the land, but except for that, he wanted to do all the work himself. He wanted to be self-reliant. This meant that he would not be able to fertilize the land himself."

Abstract
This paper consists of three separate essays--the first reviewing five articles on Elizabeth I, the second reviewing five web sites on Elizabeth I, and the third a research paper on her and her life, leadership style, and impact on society.

From the Paper
"Writer Susan Doran examines the queen's position as a female monarch in a male-dominated world, explaining how Elizabeth met the challenges. Elizabeth was an independent leader whose male advisers were frustrated by her refusal to take their advice as well as her habit of refusing to be proactive or pinned down to a particular line of action, an apparent indecisiveness that the author attributes to flexibility that always left open the possibility that she might rethink her position..."

From the Paper
"We have all been children at one time and most of us can remember times when our parents had to leave us with someone else to go somewhere. Many of us had parents that worked so we were left somewhere every day. This story identifies the disconnect that can occur between mother and child when it is necessary to leave the child each day, emphasizing that it is not always possible to repair the damage done thereby. The mother in..."

Abstract
The paper explains how World War I released destructive energies that would plague the world for the duration of the 20th century. The paper includes the argument that some positive transformations, particularly intellectual and social, also resulted.

From the Paper
"World War I, billed "The War to End all Wars," turned out to be anything but that. Of the million estimated troops mobilized by the Central and Allied troops, half of these had been either killed or wounded. Called by diplomat and historian George Keenan, "the seminal catastrophe of the twentieth century," the Great War would in the wake of this unprecedented carnage, forever alter the socio-cultural composition of American and European society."
