From the Paper
"This research will examine Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio and Edgar Lee Masters's Spoon River Anthology, with a focus on the narrative of tension between the culture of small-town America and the culture of the wide world, and the bias both Anderson and Masters appear to have toward the latter rather than the former. The research will set forth the context in which the narrative pattern of each of the works emerges and discuss the pattern of ideas of each work in general terms, together with the means by which the theme of felt tension in (and advocacy of escape from) the narrowness of small-town life is developed in each.
Spoon River Anthology and Winesburg, Ohio are roughly contemporary literary works and similar in several ways, both as publishing products and as observed records of their milieu. Each work.."

Abstract
This paper explains that the most important part of Poe's poem, "Annabel Lee", is the speaker's love for Annabel Lee and how his love is unaffected by her death. The author points out that the word choice in this poem, which uses words that give the feeling of a medieval fairy tale story, is one of the greatest aspects of the entire work. The paper relates that the speaker describes many series of opposites throughout the entire poem, such as the idea from the beginning through the end that the speaker says they are in a "kingdom by the sea". The author concludes that "Annabel Lee" was not a religious prayer or any type of sermon; but rather, Poe wrote this poem with the knowledge that love will stay forever.
From the Paper
"Many times throughout the poem the speaker tells about how heavenly beings and winged seraphs look down and how they wish they had the same love that the speaker and Annabel Lee share together. There is a possibility that these angels could have caused the death of Annabel Lee, or at least the speaker thinks this is a possibility. Many things such as jealousy could be explanations to why the angels, or devils, would have killed what was a great young relationship between two lovers. In the fifth stanza the speaker directly talks about these beings."

Abstract
This paper introduces the novels above novels and examines how all of these pieces revolve around the central theme of the importance of relationships between the characters, especially the relationships between family members. It evaluates how each author illustrates them differently, while never straying from the importance they play in our lives and in our outlook on life.
From the Paper
"Arthur Miller's play "A View From the Bridge" is a tragedy revolving around the failed relationships of the Carbone family. Central to the play is the relationship between Eddie and his niece Catherine. Eddie is in love with Catherine, and at first will not admit his feelings. "It's tough to love a doll that's not your own" (Miller 32). However, by the end of the play he confronts his feelings, and pays the ultimate price for them. His wife understands his feelings, and ridicules him. "You want somethin' else, Eddie, and you can never have her!" (Miller 83). In the end, Eddie alienates his family, and dies at the hand of one of them. Miller's play is the ultimate look at bad relationships, and how they can tear a family apart."

Abstract
This paper examines how the differences in perceptions under the institution of slavery can be startling, to say the least. The way in which the same event is understood alternately by slaves and by their masters is dramatic. It examines three potential events in an imaginative fashion, suggesting different understandings for both slaves and masters. The events examined include marriage, the death of a master and a slave sale.
From the Paper
"The differences in perceptions under the institution of slavery can be startling, to say the least. The way in which the same event is understood alternately by slaves and by their masters is dramatic. Of course, it would be reductive to imagine that perceptions about events through slavery are monolithic. Individual slaves and individual slave-owners might well have had differing perspectives on the events around them. However, for the sake of this study we can assume that, on average across the whole of the institution in the United States, there were commonly held perceptions that affected the way in which people on both sides of this institution were viewed. This paper will examine three potential events in an imaginative fashion, suggesting different understandings for both slaves and masters. The events examined will include marriage, the death of a master, and a slave sale."

The writer discusses his recent move from Taiwan to the United States, and all the cultural difficulties that come with that decision.

From the Paper
"Taiwan was at that respective period in life my entire universe. I had never left the country, I had been surrounded by family and friends and had grown in a tradition that encouraged and encourages a close bond with the family. Work was also very special. I had a privileged chance of entering the TDK Company in Taiwan at an early age and stay there up to coming to America. The Eastern cultures, Taiwan included, propose a different structure at the workplace, with the colleagues forming a second family and the managers cultivating such close bonds with the company you work at."

From the Paper
"This study will analyze George Fitzhugh's "Cannibals All! or Slaves Without Masters". The study will consider the ways the author supports his arguments in favor of slavery, the evidence he uses and how he uses it, and to what extent the evidence is unconvincing.
As the book's editor points out, Fitzhugh himself admits that he is not trying to convince the reader of the truth of his thesis by using objective arguments based on well-documented and clearly presented evidence. To the contrary, Fitzhugh argues that the enemy---those who would outlaw slavery---are split into many camps and therefore "we are compelled to vary our mode of attack from regular cannonade to bushfighting, to suit the occasion"
In other words, the issue of slavery is so essential to the ... "

"Masters' and Johnson's Human Sexual Response is a report on the authors' long-term study of the anatomy and physiology of human sexual response conducted during the years 1954-66. The authors' preface briefly addresses the climate of fear and suspicion that had surrounded all previous attempts at such investigation and deplores the lack of a supportive response from the biological or psychological science communities for projects of this type. Their study, limited in this volume to the clinical examination of the nature of sexual response, is presented as "a first step toward an open-door policy" and future research based in "investigative objectivity" (vii). It follows from the initial investigations of sexual behavior conducted by Kinsey from 1938 to 1952 which, as the authors note, did include questions of physiology and anatomy. In order to achieve ..."

Abstract
"Masters' and Johnson's Human Sexual Inadequacy is a cumulative descriptive account of the operation of the clinic for the treatment of human sexual dysfunction at the Washington University School of Medicine since 1959 and its continuation at the Reproductive Biology Research Foundation after 1964
From the Paper
"Masters' and Johnson's Human Sexual Inadequacy is a cumulative descriptive account of the operation of the clinic for the treatment of human sexual dysfunction at the Washington University School of Medicine since 1959 and its continuation at the Reproductive Biology Research Foundation after 1964. The authors report in detail on the development of their therapeutic format and then discuss the evolution of therapeutic approaches to a dozen of the major types of sexual dysfunction presented by patients. Both parts of the book are written in a direct, clinical--but forcefully clear--manner that is free of therapeutic jargon. This makes the volume as much an invaluable handbook as an introductory text. It is also, however, an important historical document since it is a record of the emergence of the original, and the most influential, model for ..."

From the Paper
"This study will examine how the freed slaves in the antebellum (pre-Civil War) South lived, worked, and interacted with the white supremacist society around them. The source for this study will be Ira Berlin's Slaves Without Masters: The Free Negro in the Antebellum South.
The reality of life and work for the free Negro in the South before the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation was a mixed one: "Freedom allowed blacks to reap the rewards of their own labor, to develop a far richer social life, and to enjoy the many intangible benefits of liberty . . . Some free Negroes . . . acquired wealth and social standing. A few masterless slaves themselves became slave masters . . . Yet neither were they free. Instead, Southern free Negroes balanced precariously between abject slavery, which they rejected, and full freedom, which was..."
