Abstract
This paper will discuss the book by Susan Gubar and Sandra Gilbert called "The Madwoman" in the Attic, and seek to understand, through their exposition on nineteenth century female writers, how George Eliot in "The Lifted Veil" reveals patriarchal premise, but is merely showing the dark aside of this obvious bigotry to opposite sex relations. By analyzing the text of "The Lifted Veil", we can see how she usurps the context of a new femininity in her time, by her allusions to male dominance in the book.

Abstract
Through several scholarly articles and Joseph Stiglitz's seminal text, "Globalization and its Discontents," this paper offers an examination of the subject of globalization and weighs arguments, both pro and con, in order to more fully understand why resistance has arisen so quickly.
From the Paper
"When examining something as complex and far-reaching as the economic concept of globalization, it is important to examine numerical and sociological data to reinforce the generally held principles. Chief among these general principles is the notion that globalization is the chief engine behind the downward trend in world poverty and inequality. Globalization, without a doubt, has been a focus of both United States foreign and domestic policy since the beginning of the Cold War through the fall of the Soviet Union and into today's struggles against radical religious fundamentalism. There are arguments, though, that posit the involvement of the American-dominated International Monetary Fund and World Bank have in fact hurt the smaller nations whose economic situations these two organizations, the IMF in particular, have involved themselves in. Tactics like the forced restructuring of failing financial systems, lending funds with usurious interest, and the lowering of protective tariffs have all caused governments and activists alike to despise the IMF."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Examples of case law have shown us that the courts are not willing to allow individuals to use the corporate form to "evade a contractual or legal obligation". This has been clearly demonstrated with the preceding case law, in particular in the case of Adams v. Cape Industries where this principle has been brought to the forefront of British Company Law and practice . However, in Adams v. Cape Industries, the courts were only contending with a speculative tortious liability, here we are concerned with the principles of the company or individuals, prior to incorporation, committing a fraud and denying another of their legal rights. The question that the courts need to address in their decision making process is the timing of the fraud being committed."

Bertha Mason: Madwoman or Just Mad?, 2006.
An analysis of the character of Bertha Mason from "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, taking a deeper look at the expectations of women in the 19th century.

Abstract
The essay examines the character of Bertha Mason, Rochester's first wife, in the book "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte. The paper argues that Bertha was not insane, but an oppressed, possibly abused, woman who refused to submit to the societal norms of 19th century patriarchal society. The writer looks into the 19th century expectations of the "ideal woman", characteristics that were lacking in Bertha Mason, and concludes that Bertha was not crazy (mad), but rather angry (mad) at her ill-treatment.
From the Paper
"Welter (1966) points out that women who engaged in sexual activity beyond duty to their husbands, especially premarital or extramarital, always ended in "madness" in Victorian literature. Did Bertha not subscribe to the "cult of true womanhood" in which a real woman was believed to be without any sexual feelings, to be responsible for the man's sexual behavior, to be religious, obedient to her husband, and to provide a serene haven for him?"

Women's Strength, 2005.
An analysis of the failed female power of Elizabeth Gaskell's "The Grey Woman", Edith Wharton's "Kerfol", George Eliot's "The Lifted Veil" and Zora Neale Hurston's "Spunk".

Abstract
The paper discusses the role of women in four short stories: Elizabeth Gaskell's "The Grey Woman", Edith Wharton's "Kerfol", George Eliot's "The Lifted Veil" and Zora Neale Hurston's "Spunk". The paper investigates the failed female ambition to gain power in these short stories. It also contrasts the characters of the women that try to gain power with the successful, submissive woman, Melanie Daniels from Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds".
From the Paper
"A woman's strength may come from her sense of perseverance, integrity, devotion, or survival. Unfortunately for the women that grace the pages of Elizabeth Gaskell's, Edith Wharton's, George Eliot's, and Zora Neale Hurston's short stories, strength is not enough to save them. In each work, readers encounter strong women who find that being strong will never be enough to contest with the dominant male society. Through one male perspective, Alfred Hitchcock, an audience is able to see this domination and the suggestion that perhaps a woman's submission is the best course of action. It is within this subjugation of each woman's strength that a horror more terrifying than a classic monster can be found."

"The Minister's Black Veil", 2000.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the use of the veil by the minister to hide his own dark secrets and remind his parishoners of their own sins. The writer examines the various reactions of his congregation members as they attempt to make sense of the veil, the same reactions that humans generally have to all that they do not understand in life. It concludes that the veil represents death, mystery and evil that are present in all of our lives.
From the Paper
"?The Minister?s Black Veil? by Nathaniel Hawthorne is written as a parable which is a short story intended to teach a lesson. The lesson of this story seems to be that everyone has dark secrets that may be so shameful that we don?t want to admit them to ourselves or to others. The black veil in this story was Mr. Hooper?s way of not dealing with his secret and also of teaching this lesson to his parishioners. It gave his congregation an eery feeling to view the veil upon his face and made them think of their own sins more carefully."

Abstract
This is a review of Christopher Rose's book: "One Dead in the Attic" - written after Hurricane Katrina, in which people tell their story in their own words and in their own way. This reviewer feels that the way in which the victims of Katrina are allowed to share their experience is what makes "One Dead in the Attic" a unique and historical account of actual events.
From the Paper
"Christopher Rose is a newspaper reporter and through his own definition of his professional life he was inconsequential in his reporting of the goings on of glamorous people. Hurricane Katrina altered not only the course of his professional life it changed his character--the fibers of his being that made him who he was before August 29th, 2005. And me how did it change me--it made me grateful. Like all people I live in a bubble that encapsulates my family, friends and work. I watch the news from afar--it doesn't really penetrate my being unless it affects me personally. I am not from Southern Louisiana and I have never had to come together with my community to save my life. I feel I am a good representative of the people of the world that watched and made a conscious choice whether or not to help. Christopher Rose acted without thinking--he reacted to the crisis of Southern Louisiana and became one of the regions voices. Time has not quieted him--he has not walked away of forgotten the people of Southern Louisiana--he is still the people's voice. His book is filled with the voices, laughter, screams and cries of the people of Southern Louisiana."

"The Minister's Black Veil", 2001.

Abstract
This paper analyzes Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story about a minister's life. This minister preaches his regular sermon in church usually in an uninspiring way until one Sunday, he shows up with a black veil on his face. This paper discusses the effects this had on his congregation and its symbolism. It details how Hawthorne?s story, and the veil itself, is a metaphor for all of our sins and transgressions.
From the Paper
"Hawthorne?s short story is deceptively simple. He tells the tale of a minister, Parson Hooper, who comes to church one Sunday wearing a black veil over his face. Nothing else about him has changed, but this veil frightens the worshippers, and sets off all kinds of rumors, including that Parson Hooper has gone mad. ?Such was the effect of this simple piece of crepe, that more than one woman of delicate nerves was forced to leave the meetinghouse. Yet perhaps the pale-faced congregation was almost as fearful a sight to the minister, as his black veil to them.? As he preaches his sermon, the congregation seems to find this sermon special, and somehow it touches each one. Hawthorne says that Hooper was normally a rather ?uninspired? preacher, and today was no exception, but the people perceive his words differently. They frighten many of them. ?Each member of the congregation, the most innocent girl, and the man of hardened breast, felt as if the preacher had crept upon them, behind his awful veil, and discovered their hoarded iniquity of deed or thought.? Perhaps Hooper?s words are hitting a little close to home, and people are seeing some of the things they cover up in their own lives, as Hooper covers his face with the veil."

Confederates in the Attic, 2004.
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the book, "Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War", by Tony Horwitz.
1,425 words (approx. 5.7 pages), 2 sources, MLA, £ 32.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains how "Confederates in the Attic" is not just a history book, it is an intriguing look into the hearts and minds of modern Southerners and their continuing absorption in the Civil War, reenacting its battles in great detail. It explains how Horwitz attempts to discover just why the Civil War is so compelling to so many people, and in the process, learns more about the sociology and culture of the South. His book, therefore, is more than a history text, or even a modern look back with sentimentality and nostalgia; it is a look into the hearts and minds of people who live vicariously through the history of their ancestors and what that really says about all of us in America today.
From the Paper
"Tony Horwitz clearly had several reasons for writing his compelling book, "Confederates in the Attic," but the most important reason seems to be his own fascination and interest in the Civil War. Specifically, he is searching for the reason why reenacting the Civil War, particularly in the southern United States, has become such a common and undeniable lure for so many people. However, there is more to his book than just searching for reasons. His book is sometimes funny, sometimes depressing, and sometimes almost unbelievable. The people he meets on his journey through the South are people just like you and me, and yet, they have some glaring differences, and these differences are what Horwitz uses to create a lasting impression of people who simply cannot let go of their legacy and get along with their lives. It is easy for those who do not live there to say, "the war is over," but for many in the South, the war will never be over, and this permeates the book with a deep feeling of sadness and wasted lives."

"The Minister's Black Veil", 2008.
An analysis of the failings of the minister in Nathaniel Hawthorne's short parable, "The Minister's Black Veil."

Abstract
This paper reviews Nathaniel Hawthorne's short parable entitled, "The Minister's Black Veil." It argues that the minister in the story is miserably failing his church congregation and that he is making his own monomaniacal obsession with some inner self-affliction take precedence over what should be concerns about the spiritual welfare of his followers. The paper analyzes the plot and text of the story to support its assertions.
From the Paper
"To close, this paper has argued that Father Hooper has not in any way satisfied his obligations or duties to his parishioners. For one thing, he has engendered mistrust, uncertainty and fear, and made his own monomaniacal obsession with whatever ails him supersede any concerns he should have for those who look to him for spiritual guidance and support. He has failed his flock, as it were, and the end result of all this is for the image of the church, the faith of the community, and the intimate bond between minister and church assembly to all be compromised."

Reflections on the Hijab (Veil), 2005.
This paper is a personal essay explaining why a young African-American Muslim woman enjoys wearing the hijab (veil).
1,280 words (approx. 5.1 pages), 0 sources, £ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the author has worn the hijab, or veil, over her head and across her shoulders since she was two years old, mimicing her mother, even though it isn't mandatory for girls to wear the hijab until they reach puberty. The author feels that it is to a woman's advantage to protect herself from men who will ordinarily take advantage of her, often without even realizing it. The paper stresses that the main reason the author wears the hijab is the most persuasive, for her: God wishes the best for all His servants, and so He sets down rules to govern their behavior.
From the Paper
"Amazingly, Man recognizes and respects my rules, even without any verbal cues. He is careful and deferential, and I do not put him at ease. I want to keep him at a distance so that our public social relationship, whatever it be-student-teacher, supervisor-employee, or colleague-colleague-remains undamaged by the inevitably personal scale that a male-female relationship becomes if we are attuned to each other on more than one level. Revealing clothes immediately describe the less important part of Woman, and the same is true Man. And so I don the simple fabric of hijab before I go out in public with the same sense of protection that plated armor would give me."

"Flowers in the Attic", 2008.
This paper analyzes the book "Flowers in the Attic" by V. C. Andrews.

Abstract
The paper discusses the maltreatment of the children including beatings, intentional incarceration, neglect, incest and death in "Flowers in the Attic". The paper discusses the lessons a social worker can learn from this novel and apply to his or her practice. The paper posits that this book offers an important lesson on the dark side of human nature and how that nature can affect innocent children.
From the Paper
"The author knows at least some of what she writes about in this novel. One author notes, "Her books, like Flowers in the Attic, as well as its sequels and prequels, concern hidden incest. Clearly, what is taken to be unnatural here is unnatural and repulsive from a moral standpoint" (Carroll, 1990, p. 40). When she was in high school, she fell down a flight of stairs and injured her back so severely that she will spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. She has felt isolation and unhappiness in her own life, and clearly brings those feelings to her novels. She may have even felt repulsive and unnatural, prompting her to write this book about her own experiences and isolation after her accident. This book was her first novel, and because of the violence, rape, and incest it contains, it has come under controversy ever since it was written in 1979 (Editors, 2005)."
