Abstract
This paper examines the dance styles of Ruth St. Denis and her student, Charles Weidman, who went on to found his own school of dance. The paper examines how Denis influenced Weidman and how his style differed from hers. The paper also discusses why Denis's style was so appropriate to the 1920s, and Weidman's style suited the 1930s.

From the Paper
"Ruth St. Denis, born Ruthie Dennis, was the greatest dancer of the 1920s, and her former student Charles Weidman was one of the most important dancers of the 1930s. Their respective aims and styles are in many ways divergent, partly as a result of the eras in which each dancer reached his/her artistic peak. Of the dancers' respective troupes, Pattie Jordens writes that while "Denishawn developed modern dance in America, Humphrey-Weidman made modern dance American". Ruth St. Denis created entertaining, artistic dances popular across all portions of society. She explored the exoticism and spirituality of Eastern countries, creating gorgeous spectacles well-suited to the Roaring Twenties. Charles Weidman left St. Denis' troupe shortly before the crash of the stock market, so his technique developed in a society to which extravagance and foreign deities were not suited. Weidman's dancing represents the experience of men and women in twentieth century America."

Abstract
The paper relates that "Fusions" begins with an overview of Taylor's work and world view, describing it as an integration of the ideals of communitarianism, but open to a broader definition of a continuum between communitarianism and liberalism which is not limited to mainstream ideologies. The paper looks at how the author writes that "Taylor does not appreciate the label of communitarian, as it tends to be a larger ideology that contains many conflicting ideas" (Unknown 2). The paper asserts that the author's arguments are drawn largely from a work on Taylor's life written by Ruth Abbey, but does not consider other perceptions of his worldview, including the works of Taylor himself.

From the Paper
"This paper serves to analyze the arguments put forth in the paper, "Charles Taylor's Liberalism: A "Fusion of Horizons" (in this paper referred to heretoforth as "Fusions") and critically ascertain the validity of these arguments with respect to the literature. "Fusions" begins with an overview of Taylor's work and world view, describing it as an integration of the ideals of communitarianism, but open to a broader definition of a continuum between communitarianism and liberalism which is not limited to mainstream ideologies. The author writes that "Taylor does not appreciate the label of communitarian, as it...""

Abstract
This paper describes the life of Roman Catholic Priest, Charles Coughlin, famous in his time for his speeches, his political views, and his influence on American society. The paper looks at Coughlin's early years, his school years, and his rise to fame. His political and social views are discussed in this paper, as well as the influence Coughlin had on society, and his skill as a public speaker. Finally, the paper talks about Coughlin's demise, which was brought about because of his extreme anti-semitism that alienated many of his supporters and potential supporters.

From the Paper
"Father Charles Coughlin, a Roman Catholic priest in the early to mid 20th century, was one of the most prominent, vocal priests of his time. His influence on Catholics of all ethnic groups was astounding. Although his views were considered by some to be anti-Semitic, his overall position in the history of this country cannot be ignored. From politics to economics to industry, his infamous sermons were a driving force for many, even leading them to migrate to his area of the country."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the reigns of Charles V, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire to that of Murad III, ruler of the Ottoman empire. The author states that the men were vastly different from one another. But despite their differences, there are many similarities in the reigns of Charles V and Murad III, as both men were mediocre leaders who achieved limited success in their roles. While both men certainly faced difficult circumstances during their rules, the paper describes them as also helping to orchestrate their own failings through personal weaknesses and poor decisions. The author concludes that Charles V and Murad III had similar results: both men left their empires weaker then they found them, and both men helped initiate or expand the process by which their empires decayed.

Outline:
Military Miscues
Unwise Policy Decisions
Underappreciated Threats
Worse than They Found It
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Murad III, quite similarly, was challenged by internal and external forces, which largely went unchecked as he withdrew from affairs of state. Internally, he faced dissatisfaction publicly and within his inner circle as his harem exerted significant influence over political decisions. Further, his unwise monetary policy led to a revolt among his soldiers. Externally, the growth of the Ottoman Empire dove into stagnation during his rule, and the once-invincible military showed weakness during its conflicts with Persia and Austria."

Abstract
The next few pages will discuss the life and triumphs of Charles Dickens, one of the modern age's most beloved novelists. The paper will detail the strengths of Dickens' work, his early life, the unusual wisdom and sagacity of his writing, his dramatic rise to prominence in the 1830s when he was not much older than most university students are today, and his lengthy series of critical and (especially) commercial successes. Finally, the paper highlights how (arguably) Dickens' greatest literary masterpieces came in the late 1850s and early 1860s when his characteristic vigor was coupled with tremendous insight and a certain sadness. In the end, anyone who wants to understand nineteenth century literature in Great Britain needs to read Charles Dickens.

Abstract
This paper examines St. Augustine's criticism of his study of classical learning. The author points out st. Augustine's disdain of classical studies because they fed his vanity, pride and ambition.

From the Paper
"In Book I of the "Confessions", St. Augustine sharply criticizes his experience with what is today called classical learning. He confesses that he is not overfond of Homer but that he did enjoy Virgil. He is also fully conversant with the Roman playwrights citing ..."

Abstract
This is a write-up of a chemistry laboratory experiment looking at Charles' Law, which states that at constant pressure, temperature and volume are directly proportional to each other. The paper describes two experiments: (1) a gas is heated and its temperature and volume change noted and compared; and (2) a candle is burned in an inverted test tube set in a pan of water. The paper describes that as the oxygen in the tube is used up, water rises in the tube, and when there is no more oxygen left the flame is extinguished.

Abstract
The English and the Dutch fought three wars in the seventeenth century of which the first two were about trade and the third about King Charles II and his attempts to gain power. This essay outlines these wars and the impact they had on the trade, politics and religion of Europe at that time. It also allows us to understand better the motives and drive behind the English king engaging in various treaties, alliances and of course battle. Great detail is paid to historical fact.

From the Paper
"The Dutch naval wars have been viewed as having lesser historical importance than many other events of the same time period, such as the English civil wars and the restoration of Charles II. However, these wars had a great impact on the trade, politics and religion of seventeenth century Europe. Three wars were fought between England and the Dutch Republic, the first two about trade. The third war, on which focus has been aimed, dealt with the monarch of England, Charles II, and his attempts to gain power. The third Dutch naval war failed to enhance Charles II's power because the war went badly and caused the treaty of Dover to backfire."

Abstract
This paper discusses St. Augustine's sin of stealing the pears and what made him do so. It details the commentary on this, what was going through St. Augustine's head, and what were the consequences of his act. It describes how St. Augustine became one of the greatest doctors of the Catholic Church and details his great achievements despite this incident.

From the Paper
"St. Augustine's account of his stealing the pears is a starkly honest confrontation of his "and man's" wretchedness without God. He freely admits that stealing is against God's law, which is inherently etched in the heart of man, a law which not even sin can erase. Nonetheless, man steals -- and Augustine stole those pears, not out of want for something to eat or any other need for them, nor for the desire to own the fruits because of their exceptional quality, such as color or taste. Augustine writes that he stole simply because he "lusted to thieve" (p 4 par 4). He revealed that the act came out of being habituated to sin, "a pamperedness of iniquity." (p 4 par 4), which inclined him to no other pattern of acts but the wrong ones. He said it exactly and clearly but in repentance, that it was out of a joy for the evil that he sinned by stealing: "It was foul, and I loved it." (p 5 par 1). It was doing something wrong for the preference and enjoyment of evil."
