Abstract
This paper is a review of ?The Cherry Orchard? by Chekhov. It is a play about family relationships. The cherry orchard belongs to Madame Ranevsky and is used a symbol for all that is beautiful about this character and her family, as well as all that is useless and futile. The writer looks at each characters perception of the orchard, which offers an insight into the weaknesses of these characters. The author argues that the fate of the cherry orchard reveals a death impulse as well as a life sustaining one in the play.
From the Paper
"Madame Ranevsky is a cultured woman of beauty and charm. However, she has recently come back from a trip to Europe with her daughter Anya. She is representative of the Russian aristocracy?s love of all that is profligate, cultured, European, and non-Slavic. She does not work, and she contributes little to society. Her beauty is fading, but she still has a great deal of charm and personal attractiveness. However, she is losing her estate because of her spendthrift ways, losing the beauty of her way of life and the orchard because there is nothing to substantiate and economically sustain the orchard?s beauty".

Abstract
This paper explains that a "lemon" in an economic market refers to a product of lower than expected quality that is sold at the same price as the normal, higher quality products, and that a "lemon market", which is when a certain market is known to contain lemons, can cause enough damage to the market to cause it to cease to exist. The paper further explains how the information about the product that the buyer and the seller possess can affect the success of the product and whether the lemon principle will come into play.
From the Paper
"From an economic perspective, if the quality of a product cannot be observed first -hand, the buyer uses market statistics to determine the quality of products that are available. This however also can cause a "lemon market", since returns for quality go to the entire group of marketers, instead of just one. Here however the problem is also that an excess of "lemons" causes the average quality of goods to deteriorate, and thus the market size also deteriorates until, as mentioned above, it ceases to exist at all.
Asymmetric Information. Asymmetric information refers to an imbalance in the knowledge possessed by buyers and sellers. Buyers know the quality of their products, i.e. whether they are "lemons" or not, and sellers do not. Because of low buyer confidence as well as a lack of seller integrity, this phenomenon can also lower the quality of products. This is then a disadvantage for all consumers who make use of the relevant market."

"The Cherry Orchard", 2002.
An examination of mythical concepts in Anton Chekhov?s masterpiece "The Cherry Orchard".

Abstract
This paper discusses how "The Cherry Orchard" is not a mythical play in the standard gothic sense. Instead, the mythic within this play is something that can be understood and observed though the viewing of said work. The Cherry Orchard is haunted. The writer discusses how the play is haunted by ghosts of the past. These ghosts which live within the mansion and indeed within the orchard itself manifest themselves in the characters who are both fighting to hold onto the past and those who are battling to move forward into the future.
From the Paper
"All of the characters within the work are motivated by the ghosts of the past, but there are two characters which stand out as being moved by them. The first is Ranevsky and the second is Lopahin. Ranevsky is haunted by the need to hold onto the orchard. She lost her son in a drowning at the orchard and this is one of the ghosts which haunts the place. She believes that she must hold onto it because of the value to her family. The place has history for her. But it also haunts her. In her heart she wishes that she were not so bound by the place."

Abstract
This paper presents an exploration of the lemon law and discusses the applicable uniform commercial code (UCC) regarding its effectiveness. The paper begins by defining, in detail, the lemon law and the UCC. The writer then uses a court case from New Jersey to further outline what the UCC is and how it governs the sale of goods in general. The paper discusses the specific application of the law with regard to the case it presents.
Table of Contents:
UCC
The Case
From the Paper
"In this particular case the fact that the buyer had only driven the vehicle for 7/10 of a mile provided strength for the argument of Lemon Law violation."
"Society believes and understands that during the course of a test drive while vehicle shopping there is stress and excitement that may prevent the buyer from being able to detect any flaws of the car. However, the first few miles that the buyer owns the vehicle are accepted by society and the UCC as "exciting" and telling as he or she begins to settle into vehicle ownership. The law understands this and consequently provides a reasonable time period for defects to be discovered and the contract broken."

Abstract
This paper discusses the pursuit of happiness in Anton Chekhov's play "The Cherry Orchard." The paper analyzes the characters within the play and looks at the actions they take in order to attempt to achieve happiness. It then discusses which of the characters did, in fact, manage to achieve the happiness they were pursuing. The paper suggests that real happiness comes from personal satisfaction and a willingness to take action and improve one's life.
From the Paper
"For many of the characters in the play, happiness is more like the absence of misery. This is seen by the way that the characters spend their time escaping into the past to hide from their problems. Lyobov Andreyevna is the main example of this. This is specific to her memories of the death of her son. This is the reason that she leaves her home and travels overseas. She then spends her time on frivolous things that do not really achieve true happiness. One good example of this is seen where she hires an orchestra for a party, despite not having any money to pay them. This shows that she views happiness as being based on short-term pleasure. In effect, her life is about escaping from misery by constantly seeking pleasure. This does not allow her to achieve any true happiness."

?The Cherry Orchard?, 2002.
An analysis of Anton Chekhov's ?The Cherry Orchard?.

Abstract
This paper focuses on the unique writing style of Chekhov, showing how although the themes he addresses echo the concerns of his period, his characters are unlike others seen in literature and his light comedic style serves as a template for other dramas. Chekhov?s plays ?about nothing? are unique, though, in that they strike us with their use of sound and with the idle talk of both protagonists and secondary characters that seem to dance around themes rather than approach them in a linear fashion.
From the Paper
"Much of the idle talk that is apparent in ?The Cherry Orchard? is designed to portray those that come from an upper-class background as being flighty and concerned with trivialities. When Varya comments ?you have a broach like a bee,? we are reminded of Nora in Ibsen?s ?Doll House? and her macaroons. We see that even though these women of patrician sensibilities are capable of recognizing threats to their prosperity that they ultimately spend much of their time focusing on matters of the senses: in at least several instances, people will comment extensively on the weather, comparing it to the weather in Paris or the weather several months ago. A contrast to this daydream-like approach to life is provided by Lopakhin, who is a businessman versed in matters of finance and real estate development."

Social Roles in "The Cherry Orchard", 2002.

Abstract
In this paper, the writer accentuates the fine lines between rich and poor, landowner and slave, success and failure, that emerge in the play. The politics and economy of Russia were somewhat muddied at the time, and the capitalists, who used to be serfs, were now taking over the aristocracy, whose members did not have money-managing skills. The paper shows how Lyubov Andreyevna and her brother cling to the aristocratic past, Lopakhin is the capitalist (embodiment of the present economy) and Trofimov is a sort of prophet, predicting the rise of communism (though even Chekhov would not live to see that era). Differences in culture, speech, action, demeanor and viewpoints between Firs and Lopakhin; and all the characters (even the servants) are described.
From the Paper
"After feudalism was abolished in Russia in 1861, Russia was undergoing some gradual yet drastic economic changes. The growth of entrepreneurial activity was centered around Moscow while St. Petersburg was crumbling with the tsar as he lost authority to the rising merchant class. For centuries, wealth and income had been based solely on the ownership of land. Technically, the serfs were not slaves, but their economic situations forced them into complete submission; their masters could trade them for horses or even dogs. The serfs were freed in 1861, but with no money or property, so for decades, many were still dependent on their masters. It wasn?t until just before the turn of the century that these men began to find their wealth in the form of industrial capitalism (textile production being the most prominent business). Soon these old aristocratic and new capitalist worlds began to battle with each other. This is the Russian economic background of Anton Chekhov?s ?The Cherry Orchard.? (Worrall 13) Lyubov Andreyevna Ranevskaya is a middle-aged aristocratic woman who returns from France to find her estate in danger of being subjugated by the rising merchant class, specifically Yermolay Alexyevich Lopakhin. Chekhov does not favor either the aristocrat or the merchant, but stresses the strengths and weaknesses of both groups? ideals. No one person or governmental system is perfect, and everyone?s ?absurd, unhappy lives? (Lopakhin ? 45) fall victim to the continual change of any society."

Analysis of Chekov's Play "The Cherry Orchard", 2000.
A discussion of the manner in which inanimate objects take on their own symbolic life, and its contribution to the thematics of the play as a whole.

Abstract
This paper presents a brief analysis of how Chekov uses the inanimate objects in his play as almost living things, reflecting on the emotions and attitudes of the characters.
From the Paper
"We don't see things as they are. We see them as we are." This quote by Anais Nin expresses an essential point of view for this discussion about the symbolic meaning of inanimate objects, since it is our personality and our memories, which determine our character and meaning. Our feelings towards certain objects are individual, as everyone associates different things in a different manner. Insofar, "we see them as we are", since they can mirror our past, pains, hopes and our ideals. Thus they become more than just an object, but a symbol for a certain part of someone's feelings and life This is also the case in "The Cherry Orchard": objects as the nursery room, the bookcase and the cherry orchard take on their own symbolic life.

Southern Women, 2002.
A comparative analysis of the books "Lemon Swamp and Other Places" by Karen Fields and "The Making of a Southerner" by Katharine Du Pre Lumpkin.

Abstract
This paper discusses how both Lemon "Lemon Swamp and Other Places" by Karen Fields and "The Making of a Southerner" by Katharine Du Pre Lumpkin are personal histories of Southern women. It examines how both books encapsulate lived, autobiographical accounts of Southern life. It evaluates how both books look on a world from the outside in, in Lumpkin?s case a white Southerner gazing at African-American life, in Karen Field?s case, that of a contemporary African-American looking at African-American life of her grandmother?s past.
From the Paper
"Lemon Swamp also gives an alternative vision of the South as often depicted in popular fiction. However, Lemon Swamp is not a tale of the white South at all. Lumpkin?s story is a tale of the South of African-Americans in some respects, but from a white perspective. In contrast, Lemon Swamp tells the story from the point of view of an African-American woman born in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1888. Lemon Swamp is not in an explicit ideological conversation with a romantic ideology. It is more intent upon simply shedding light on both the everyday aspects of Field?s life and the ways in which her community worked together to counteract segregation and poverty. However, in its own way, the book can be seen as a challenge to Lumpkin?s perspective."

In "A Doll's House" Nora's machinations to help her husband result in revelations that for her expose the lack of love she has for her husband and he for her. In "The Cherry Orchard" Madame Ranevsky's selfish behavior involving her lover and the mounting of enormous debt causes the loss of the family estate."

Abstract
This paper considers the theme of pride in two literary works, the play "The Cherry Orchard" by Anton Chekhov and the novel "The Stone Angel" by Margaret Laurence. Noting that theme of pride is common in literature, with pride being one of the seven deadly sins in the Christian conception and an example of a fatal flaw in the Greek view in classical literature. This paper then reviews how that theme of pride is seen in these two works in terms of the past, and the actions of individual characters.
From the Paper
"The theme of pride is common in literature, with pride being one of the seven deadly sins in the Christian conception and an example of a fatal flaw in the Greek view in classical literature. This theme is treated differently by different authors and even in different types of literature. The theme is embodied in the play 'The Cherry Orchard' by Anton Chekhov in the way the characters are portrayed and in the attitudes they take toward their status in society, and it is treated by novelist Margaret Laurence in 'The Stone Angel' through her characters and the way they show pride to be both constructive and destructive..."

Tragic Comedy Characters, 2002.
A comparison of the dramatic technique of Bernard Shaw and Anton Chekhov in "The Cherry Orchard" and "Heartbreak House".

Abstract
The paper reviews the two plays "The Cherry Orchard" by Bernard Shaw and "Heartbreak House" by Anton Chekhov and examines how the two works are intertwined with each other in theme and structure, the latter inspired by the former. It discusses how both plays are tragi-comedies and how both seem to portray what is right and wrong even though there are no real villains or heroes and how both are seemingly plotless, yet intricately designed to be full of plot detail. It also shows how the similarity between these two plays lies in the techniques employed by the playwrights to achieve this by inserting the tragedy of the everyday into comedy.
From the Paper
"The dramatic techniques apparent in the two plays being discussed branch out from the root definition of the plays as comedies, or perhaps more specifically as tragicomedies. Tragicomedy is essentially comedy that revolves around tragedy, with a key factor being that the action is revolving around real people. Only real people, in the sense of a naturalistic portrayal of people in real life, are capable of moving from one concept to the other in the space of a breath. The archetypal hero disobeys the archetype if he or she moves from sadness to happiness in an irregular, unforeseeable pattern, a feat required in tragicomedy."
