An examination of these figurines which have become symbolic representation of art form of the Paleolithic period. The paper shows that these figurines are also the portrayal of mother goddesses and a symbol of sexuality.

"When the ice age figurines were first discovered, archaeologists speculated its existence something that represent the transition period between the Neanderthals of the Middle Paleolithic and the Homo sapiens of the Upper Paleolithic period.

Abstract
This paper examines the ice cream business in Russia in the form of the Ice-Fili company, a mid-sized producer of ice cream in Russia and the top ice cream producer in that country. The paper shows that the Russians have a particular love of ice cream, which makes the market attractive in terms of having a large number of eager consumers ready for an ice cream product (though this is a market that has declined in recent years).
From the Paper
"Ice-Fili is a mid-sized producer of ice cream in Russia and the top ice cream producer in that country. The industry is embedded in the larger Russian economy and serves the Russian ice cream market. Russians have a particular love of ice cream, which makes the market attractive in terms of having a large number of eager consumers ready for an ice cream product (though this is a market that has declined in recent years {"Russians Refuse to Eat Ice Cream Despite Their Great Fondness for the Product" para. 1]). Ice-Fili has had trouble surviving in the New Russia since the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Ice-Fili must also compete with major international producers of ice cream such as Ben & Jerry's, though that company left the market in 2001."

Abstract
This paper discusses the poem ?The Emperor of Ice-Cream? by Wallace Stevens which describes a funeral scene. It shows how although the poem is based on the story of an old woman?s wake, Stevens delves into the deeper meanings of life, death and reality in the poem. It examines how the title also symbolizes the primacy of physical, sensual pleasures, which is one of the themes of the poem. Although a funeral is about to take place, the narrator and the funeral attendants are more concerned with mundane details such as ice cream. It looks at how the poet ends each stanza with the line, ?The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream,? which emphasizes that sensual pleasures are more important than thoughts of religion or the hereafter.
From the Paper
"However, Stevens isn?t just trying to startle his readers. The poet presents a complex attitude toward death with ?The Emperor of Ice-Cream.? Death is treated by the funeral-goers as an unimportant, inconsequential, even distracting part of life. The funeral-goers, who cannot properly be called mourners because they show no signs of mourning, are not as concerned about the dead woman as they are with mundane things. Ice cream is the main symbol of these mundane considerations. Other minute details that distract the attendants, including the narrator, from the matter at hand are the ?three glass knobs? missing from the deal dresser and the embroidery on the woman?s cloth."

Abstract
This paper explores the symbolic meaning of ice and the concepts of Hell and Satan in Dante's "Inferno". The qualities of ice are examined against many examples from the text.
From the Paper
"Dante?s Inferno describes an icy hell; the closer the Poets travel towards Satan?s lair, the icier Hell becomes, literally and metaphorically.
Ice forms physically in the absence of the warm comfort of the sun; it is a symbol of winter. When Dante descends with Virgil into the levels of Hell, they travel through Circles that spiral farther and farther from the source of physical and spiritual warmth, the sun. In the Second Circle of Hell, Dante already refers to ?the cold season,? (Canto V, 41). Winter sees days short, sunlight scarce and valuable. When nighttime rules, so do cold and ice. Qualities of ice such as coldness, hardness, and discomfort are apparent in the Third Circle: ?In the third circle am I of the rain/Eternal, maledict, and cold, and heavy; Its law and quality are never new,? (Canto VI, 7-9)"

Michael Adams, president of the Canadian polling research company Environics, argues in his book, "Fire and Ice" that, contrary to the views of many prominent media and political commentators in Canada, "Canadians and Americans are markedly different, and are becoming more so". This review critically examines Adams' text and, with reference to a number of other sources on this topic, argues the thesis that Adams is not only accurate in this assessment but all signs point to an increasing dissimilarity between Canadian and American societies and cultures.

"First Ice" and "Yesterday Girl", 2003.

Abstract
This paper discusses the issues of love and heartbreak as expressed in these two poems. It focuses on the points of observation of each poem and discusses the way love effects us all. It concludes that the two poems display many similarities including layout and poetic techniques.
From the Paper
"First Ice was written from observing a girl from the present. The poet used present tense to create the effect of immediacy and nearness. The poem is concerning a young girl who has just undergone an agonizing heartbreak. As the girl hears the intensifying news about the break-up, she instantly freezes and feels poignant. Evidence of this is when the poet wrote ?Her face is smeared in tears and lips and lipstick?. The poet is informing us that break ups can be incredibly heartbreaking. It was written in a cold, depressing mood. The word ?alone? is stressed to inform that the girl was extremely lonely. Additionally, the poet had put accent on the sound ?f? (e.g. freezes, fingers, face, first, phrases) and recapped it many times. This noticeably puts more meaning to the mood as it makes the poem appear in a bitterer atmosphere."

Abstract
The simple poem, "Fire and Ice" by Robert Frost, has a variety of interpretations ranging from the astronomical and eschatological, to the personal, to the biblical and apocalyptic, to the philosophical. This paper examines some of the interpretations that have been given to this famous poem.
From the Paper
"While perspicacious allusions to bangs and whimpers in this poem would require profound psychic powers since Eliott had yet to produce The Hollow Men, or even The Wasteland, for that matter, with its own treatments of Fire and Ice, one need not be able to read the future to be able to predict the type of poetry that Mr. Eliott and Mr.Pound and those of their school would create in the future. Both the length and the tenor of Fire and Ice are antithetical to the elaborate styles of either adversary while the content is obviously as deep and intellectual as anything that flowed from their pens."

Abstract
Set in the suburban affluence of 1970s New Canaan, Connecticut, "The Ice Storm" details the detached lives of two families and the dysfunctions experienced by both. This paper examines the movie directed by Ang Lee and shows why it is considered a masterpiece of intellectual art.
From the Paper
"Though The Ice Storm clearly exemplifies the banality of evil, it nevertheless fails in furthering the quest for evil. The lives are the characters exist in the realm of the boring, absent of all the passions, desires, and excitements that make life interesting. Sexual taboos are commonplace; the highest values are devalued, leaving nothingness. Adultery embodies the idea of an everyday evil and how when this evil becomes fully integrated into our routine lives, it eventually destroys us spiritually."
