Abstract
This paper reviews Nick Hornsby's novel "High Fidelity." It discusses the general plot of the novel and describes, in detail, the role of the character Rob Fleming in the plot. The paper compares the character of Rob to the traditional Bildungsroman character and suggests that he does not fit with this typical role. It describes scenes and narratives of Rob's to explain this view-point.
From the Paper
"Eventually, by the end of the novel, Rob begins to acknowledge Laura's humanity as well as his own. This separates him from his friends: "'we're not as bad as you think, Rob.' 'You couldn't be. Look, Barry. There's going to be people from Laura's work there, people who own dogs and babies and Tina Turner albums. How are you going to cope with them?'" (303) Rob has, like the Bildungsroman hero, become integrated into a larger society and become a man and learned to judge persons on more meaningful criteria than their love of counter-cultural music on LPs. But rather than suggest that this is a loss of youth, ingenuity, and vitality, Rob's maturity comes to Laura, to the reader, and ultimately to himself as a relief, as this maturity has been long overdue."

Fidelity in "Romeo and Juliet", 2005.
Examines the theme of fidelity within "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare.

Abstract
In this paper, Romeo provides a set of moral and ethical problems in relation to his love for both Rosaline and Juliet. By being indecisive as to his physical attractiveness to Rosaline, Romeo betrays his easily seduced mentality in regards to physical love. The paper shows that in this regard, Romeo behaves more as an immature man filled with sexual desire for women, rather than a man that would later kill himself in honor of Juliet. Through these means, Romeo loses credibility in his love for Juliet, as related through his prior and simultaneous relationship with Rosaline in the play.
From the Paper
"This drama study reflects the issues of fidelity within the characters Romeo and Rosaline in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. By examining the critical aspects of the play, one cane realize Romeo's lack of romantic loyalty in relation to Juliet. Throughout the various issues that arise between Romeo's love for Rosaline, the problem of his fidelity demeans and lowers his credibility as a lover in relation to the greater tragedy of loving Juliet. Romeo is infatuated with Rosaline, and there can be no doubt as to how he presents a two-sided question as to his fidelity to Juliet. Act One of Shakespeare's play reflects Romeo's romantic heart, as it swoons for Rosaline before he has the chance to get truly involved with Juliet."

Fidelity from the Homeric Perspective, 2002.
A study of the concept of faithfulness in Homer's "The Odyssey".

Abstract
Uses concise examples from Homer's text to illustrate what fidelity meant to the characters of Odysseus and Penelope in "The Odyssey" and parallels that to modern society.
From the Paper
"In contemplating the question of fidelity between Odysseus and Penelope in Homer's The Odyssey, one relentlessly sails into the questions of definition and perspective. The concept of fidelity in twentieth century society may carry very different connotations than it did in ancient Greek literature, but then again parallels can be seen. Twentieth century connotations aside, the word fidelity means different things in different languages, and judgments of fidelity must be adjusted accordingly. Fidelity, the word, carries overtones not just of faith, but of trust and belief. A tribute to the similarities between the two characters, Odysseus and Penelope both fail to meet these standards. Neither character has a great deal of trust or faith in anything. The ultimate destination is knowledge of the two characters amidst a great span of time and language, and all understanding is tempered by perspective. One must explore all channels of possibility to arrive, exhaustingly, at a compromise of ideas."

From the Paper
"Amos and Hosea both react to corruption in 8th century Israel. Each condemns injustice and the maltreatment of the poor. Amos?s tone, however, is decidedly harsher than Hosea?s. Amos warns Israel to return to covenantal fidelity or risk facing terrifying divine justice, whereas Hosea highlights the need for true knowledge of God in order to reap the benefits of God?s compassion for his son, Israel. Because Hosea?s message better synthesizes with the Israelite tradition of blessing, his message would likely have been more effective than Amos?s in actually effecting reform in Israel."

The four P's of marketing strategy are product, price, place, and promotion. Service products differ from product goods in several respects. Services are intangible and ephemeral and are experienced rather than owned.
From the Paper
"The four P's of marketing strategy are product, price, place, and promotion. Service products differ from product goods in several respects. Services are intangible and ephemeral and are experienced rather than owned. Customers may in addition be required to visit the service site, in which case they may be asked to participate actively in the process of service creation, delivery, and consumption (Lovelock 312). Place for service products has been much affected by technology so that there is now a variety of means for customers to access some services and participate actively in the process without actually visiting the service site. The placement theme of import today is to offer the customer more choice so that some people can opt for face-to-face contact, choose the telephone, or make use of more impersonal contacts such as the computer or some other mechanism (Love ..."

From the Paper
"802.11g is the current standard technology for wireless networking. 802.11g is nominally capable of 54 Mb/s connections, just over half the speed of typical wired Ethernet. In reality, speeds are usually much lower. A typical fast Internet connection is less than 6 Mb/s, so 802.11g is more than adequate for Internet access. 802.11g is limiting in situations involving transfer of large files between computers on the same network and use of high-bandwidth applications. 802.11g can also be problematic in an area with a high concentration of wireless networks. The range of frequencies that 802.11g is able to use is very narrow. An apartment complex in a technologically sophisticated area may have a number of overlapping networks, resulting in interference. 802.11n will have a larger frequency range in which to operate, as well as larger channels and faster hardware technologies such as MIMO, or multiple in, multiple out. MIMO technology involves using multiple antennas to maintain several parallel connections between a wireless access point and a computer's wireless network card. MIMO increases the overall bandwidth available to the network."

This paper looks at the biography about Fidel Castro written by reporter Tad Szulc who spent many years following his life. The writer shows that the book presents a very balanced view of Castro as well as showing new sides of him not previously reported.

Szulc has interviewed Castro on many occasions and also interviewed his friends, past friends and his enemies. He was given unprecedented access by both the Cuban government, and by Castro himself, to conduct his research for the book.

Cuba After Fidel Castro, 2007.
This paper explores the scenario of a Cuba without Fidel Castro as leader.

Abstract
The paper discusses Fidel Castro's recent surrender of power to his brother, Raul, while undergoing stomach surgery. The paper reveals that this action has fueled much speculation as to Cuba's future. The paper explains that while most experts predict that under Raul's reign there will be increased tensions between Communist hard-liners and moderates, it is unlikely that there will be an immediate and total collapse of Communism. The paper predicts that Cuba will become more pro-Western with closer ties to a free market environment, similar to what seems to be evolving in China. The paper emphasizes that after Fidel's death, communications with the West will most certainly improve, but it is unlikely that there will be any dramatic changes.
From the Paper
"Many experts, such as Terry McCoy, a Latin American studies professor at the University of Florida, believes that a change in leadership may not necessarily mean an immediate end to the Communist nation's current regime (Rigney 2006). McCoy says the question is whether Raul, who is less charismatic and lacks the leadership qualities of Fidel, can hold onto power, but believes the government will survive in the short term (Rigney 2006). According to McCoy, the succession plan "first involves Raul Castro and then a circle of much younger successors, who would run the country through some type of collective leadership.""

Abstract
This paper examines Cuba's 1959 revolution and what Cuba holds for its people today in an effort to determine what Cuba's economic and political future will be without the leadership of Fidel Castro. The paper considers several factors relevant to Cuba's future including its culture, its relationship with the Soviet Union and its economy.
Introduction
Old Cuba and Monoculture
The Cuban Revolution
Cuba's Relationship with the Soviet Union
Leadership Transition
Cuba's New Economy
Cultural Change
From the Paper
"In 1959, Fidel Castro and his movement "enjoyed overwhelming popular support" (Perez-Stable 7). The Cuban people had never idolized someone like him or held anyone so beloved before. They truly believed in his extraordinary leadership and vision. In many ways, he was the perfect everyman and had an ability to relate to all Cubans on many levels. He pleased the people by delivering old promises of social change and was able to placate Old Cuba's military unlike leaders before him. However, many new ideals brought to fruition during this time did not agree with the United States or its foreign policies toward the market. The United States wanted to keep Cuba dependent on the relationship. The Cuban Revolution and leadership "focused on three crucial elements in consolidating its rule: developing the economy, seeking new international allies, and constituting a new political authority" (Perez-Stable 10). Out of this grew a new conciencia or consciousness based greatly on the well being of the collective people as being crucial to economic success and strengthening Anti-American sentiment."

Fidel Castro and Gamal Abdel Nasser
On January 8, 1959, Fidel Castro rolled into Havana, Cuba on a U.S.-made Sherman tank to the triumphant welcoming shouts of at least 1 million Cubans, thus beginning a Communist dictatorial regime that has lasted for over 40 years. Castro was born into a large, prosperous farming family on August 13, 1926 or 1927 (CNN.com, 2000). He attended Jesuit schools and studied law. While a student, Castro was also a political activist. And after he received his degree in 1950, he established a private law practice and joined the reformist Cuban People's Party (CNN.com, 2000).
In 1952, Castro's plan to run for a parliamentary seat was foiled when General Batista overthrew the government and canceled the election. After unsuccessfully challenging the regime in court, Castro .."
