Abstract
The paper discusses how writers attempt to evoke the mental forms and processes of their characters to portray the character's inner states and manifest them to the reader. The paper shows how two works from the same era address this issue; John Lyly's "Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit" and Thomas Nashe's "The Unfortunate Traveller." The paper demonstrates how the inner life of the main characters is addressed in a different way in these works. The paper explains that these approaches would be models for later works in terms of how to depict characters, whether observed from outside or represented in their own words.
From the Paper
"John Lyly's Euphues actually has two parts, the first of which is The Anatomy of Wit. The man character is Euphues, and this character like the main character in the Nashe work is a traveler, in this case an Englishman arriving in Naples after a largely misspent youth. He falls in love with the governor's daughter, Lucilla, which creates a triangle with his friend Philautus. Lucilla finds another lover so that the two friends make up. Euphues then travels to Athens to be a student, and he writes a series of treatises on different subjects. The latter portion of the book is epistolary, meaning it unfolds in a series of letters between Euphues and his friends."

Anais Nin and John Nash; the Social Nature of Acceptance and Success, 2002.

Abstract
The artistic community in Anais Nin?s professional life and the mathematical community in John Nash?s professional life are similar in that they are both very exclusive. The paper shows that they are also markedly different in the type of achievements that might be considered successful yet, both Nin and Nash are asked to prove their own value based on success. The paper examines Sylvia Nasar's book about John Nash entitled "A Beautiful Mind: The Life of Mathematical Genius and Nobe Laureate John Nash" in which Nasar shows that, in Nash?s culture, the proof is a successful publication and therefore placement into a good academic post-doctoral position. For Nin, as seen in her autobiography, "The Diary of Anais Nin", success is proven by her ability to create and defend a work that is socially challenging enough to be among the works of her contemporaries, a socially challenging lot. The paper shows that , although professional development may seem to be the ultimate goal of each of these players, the acceptance they glean from the almost fraternal social groups they wish to be members of is integral to their eventual success.
From the Paper
"Another proving ground for Nash was the MIT mathematics common room. ?The social atmosphere of the MIT common room resembled some of the more raucous scenes from the cult movie IF, about a British public school that is taken over by its ?boys.? (Nasar 1998 142) In this environment Nash finds acceptance as he often does among men alone. The eccentricities of the different characters do not always mesh as they constantly compete for rank in many realms and express it sometimes cruel debating and personal character bashing. Yet, here there is a place for Nash?s strange social behavior. Though, Nash is eventually very successful in his professional career, his personality and mental-state challenges him eternally."

The World of the Poet Ogden Nash, 2001.
A look at the poetry of American poet Ogden Nash and how he portrays emotions of hate in his work.

Abstract
This paper explores the world of Ogden Nash, one of America?s favorite poets. The paper focuses in particular on how Nash?s poetry exemplified how he hated the world, and everything in it. The author discusses Nash?s poetry, by giving examples and then showing how they illustrated his utter hatred of humanity.
From the Paper
"In an interview, Mr. Frediric Ogden Nash, a now deceased American light verse poet, once said, ?What I do is pick up poetry and bash its brains against the sidewalk.? (quoted. in Nichols 269) While many people might grin or giggle at Nash?s comment, what Ogden Nash said held a cryptic meaning, a meaning that altogether makes the quotation not nearly as funny as it first appears. Mr. Nash was known to be a comedic poet who dabbled in incorrect grammar and funny excursions into human nature, but was Nash actually trying to be funny, or was he venting his secret hatred for the world? A close look at his poetry reveals that Mr. Nash may not be exactly what he was perceived to be. Ogden Nash hated the world and everything in it, and this is displayed within his poetry."

Abstract
This paper looks at the life of John Nash, born June 13, 1928 who went on to win the Nobel prize for economics. It discusses his childhood, education and career and some of his theories such as the Nash Equilibrium and game theory.
From the Paper
"Many economists may not realize that John Nash was one of the first people to become involved in laboratory experiments. One of these experiments, conducted more than fifty years ago, was inspired by his second great accomplishment: "the definition and existence proof for Nash equilibrium." This experiment was conducted at the RAND Corporation in Santa Monica, California, on the same day that the two mathematicians who designed it heard about the surprising theorem that had been proved by a young graduate student on the other coast. Because Nash later ran his own experiments, Charles Holt once asked him what he thought of this methodology. Nash replied, "Experimental economics is the ultimate truth. Anyone can write down a theory and just say it is true."

Poems of Ogden Nash, 1997.
Examines social & human insights in three works on sleep by American humorist Ogden Nash.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine selected poems from three collections by Ogden Nash. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which each poetry collection emerged, and then to discuss, by means of comparison and contrast, how the poems reflect both Nash's humor and his strategy of social commentary.
In three collections of poetry, I'm a Stranger Here Myself, Versus, and You Can't Get There From Here, Nash uses light verse to accomplish the work of insight into certain realities of contemporary human experience. Although Nash's reputation is as an "indefatigable American rhymester" (Atwood 81), it would be misleading to confine his range of concern to diverting humor. For as a matter of fact, the evidence of the poems is that they are meant to oblige the reader to focus on realities that are not always.."

"The purpose of this research is to review Poverty and
Wealth: The Christian Debate Over Capitalism, by Ronald H. Nash.
In Poverty and Wealth: The Christian Debate Over Capitalism, Ronald Nash revives the arguments set forth by George Gilder in the similarly titled Wealth and Poverty, that the leftist policies and programs advocated by many Christians are in fact detrimental to achieving social and economic justice. This book is a kind of "corrective" aimed at a Christian audience and intended to reverse what Nash regards as muddled thinking about economic issues.
Central to Nash's thesis is the argument that Christians are misled into supporting liberal economic policies by two factors: (1) their good intentions, based on compassion for the poor and a desire to do God's work on earth, and (2) their woeful (...)"

"The Rape of Lucrece" and "The Unfortunate Traveller" Compared, 2006.
A look at the similarities and differences in William Shakespeare's "The Rape of Lucrece" and Thomas Nashe's "The Unfortunate Traveller".

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts William Shakespeare's "The Rape of Lucrece" with Thomas Nashe's "The Unfortunate Traveller", pointing out that, although Nashe's work was published after Shakespeare's, both contain a very brutal rape scene. The paper then attempts to identify what is both similar and different about each rape scene by comparing and contrasting the works in terms of motivation, plot, character and outcome.
From the Paper
"In The Rape of Lucrece the motivation of Tarquin is more subtle. There is no evidence that he has done such a thing before, although he is guilty of an inflated case of pride. However, it is clear that he is an honorable soldier and friend, at least initially. His motivation comes from lust born of hearing about Lucrece's beauty. One could therefore say that this is not a case of habit or of greed, but of lust alone."

"Race and Revolution", 2008.
A review of Gary Nash's work "Race and Revolution".
2,091 words (approx. 8.4 pages), 1 source, APA, £ 45.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Gary Nash, in his work "Race and Revolution", demonstrates that early colonial patriots recognized that the ideals that Americans had fought for required the complete abolition of slavery. The paper describes how Nash explodes such long-standing myths such as the idea that abolishing slavery was just not pragmatic. The paper looks at Nash's contention that the failed struggle of the Founding Fathers to create true justice means now Americans still struggle with the issue of race because the fathers passed off the responsibility to later generations. The paper explains how Nash introduces many ideas regarding this period of history that may be surprising to a layperson, and perhaps even to a historical expert.
From the Paper
"Gary Nash's book, Race and Revolution questions the common assumption that the Founding Fathers, however great, were 'men of their age' and did not understand how the ideology of slavery clashed with their conception of universal freedom and justice for all. The debate over race, and the question of whether America would become nation that would be governed for the people and by all the people, regardless of race, did not begin with the Civil War or even the time right before the 'War Between the States.' Rather, the conflict over race was codified within the text of the U.S. Constitution."

"Red, White and Black", 2005.
A review and defense of Gary Nash's thesis in "Red, White and Black".
1,503 words (approx. 6.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, £ 34.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In his book "Red, White and Black", Gary Nash proposes the thesis that rather than viewing the three nations which make up the history of the American people as distinct and parallel, or merely in conflict, the three racial groups engaged in complex cultural interactions and negotiations, and were thus all equally important. This paper examines Nash's thesis, as well as construction of his text, his methodology of analysis, some of the facts he presents to defend his pluralistic thesis, and finally comes to an overall assessment of Nash's thesis and the importance of his book as a whole.
From the Paper
"Nash's approach as an historian is chronological in its structure, rather than ideological. In other words, he traces the beginnings of the history of America, from before 1500, to the early European and native encounters, up to the end of the revolutionary period, cumulating in 1800, with a final chapter on what happened afterwards in the lands he discusses. This relatively straightforward approach allows for one of the most interesting aspects of Nash's book, namely his introduction of little-known, even now, material, regarding the interactions of Europeans, Native Americans, and Black Africans before the term 'America' was even coined. Using chronology, and interweaving the different stories create a multifaceted texture of history created, again stressing the equal importance of all three groups."

Abstract
The paper looks at the movie "A Beautiful Mind" by Russell Crowe that portrays John Nash, a brilliant but eccentric graduate student of mathematics at Princeton University. The paper describes how in spite of Nash's eccentricities, he manages to fall in love, marry, have a child and become a tenured professor. In spite of these accomplishments, the paper shows how paranoid schizophrenia gradually takes hold of him and dominates his life. The paper examines his diagnosis and treatment and explores the condition of schizophrenia in general.
Outline:
The Subject: John Nash
Diagnosis
Treatment
From the Paper
"In spite of Nash's obvious social awkwardness, he possesses a fair amount of charm. He tells his imaginary roommate that he is "quite well balanced" -- he has an equally heavy chip on both shoulders. However, he already believes himself to be special, too gifted to waste his time attending lectures and reading textbooks. In the opening scene, a professor tells the class that it was mathematicians who broke the Japanese code during World War II, and mathematicians who designed the atomic bomb, linking fine mathematical minds to national security. In the movie, his meeting with the Army when they hire him as a secret code-breaker is quite elaborate."

"A Beautiful Mind", 2005.
This paper discusses the story of Nobel Prize winner John Nash and his struggle with paranoid schizophrenia as told in Ron Howard's film "A Beautiful Mind".

Abstract
This paper explains that, in the film "A Beautiful Mind", despite suffering from severe paranoid schizophrenia, John Nash manages eventually to control effectively the symptoms of his schizophrenia without the use of medication. The author points out that he used his own a high level of communication competence to control this condition with the techniques of perception-checking and self-talk and was able to live a relatively normal life. The paper stresses that Nash never actually cures his schizophrenia; his symptoms continued and he still had delusions, but he learned to ignore the symptoms and identified his delusions as not being real via a perception-checking approach.
From the Paper
"The same strong communication competence is seen in Nash's external communications. In one way, it can seem that Nash has low communication competence. For example, he does not have good relationships with his classmates, his workmates, or his students. However, there are various signs that this is related more to a lack of social skills than an inability to communicate. This is seen towards the end of the film where Nash is seen tutoring and teaching students. In these interactions, it is seen that Nash is an effective communicator. At the same time, Nash can seem impatient and also seems to behave in unexpected ways. Again though, this is related to Nash's inability to understand social expectations and act based on these expectations."

Artists at War, 2003.
An analysis of the various effects of World War I on British art and artists, specifically Windham-Lewis, Nash and Nevinson.

Abstract
This paper discusses the effect of World War I on British art and follows the transformation and disintegration of Futurism and Vorticism from 1914 - c. 1920. In particular, it examines Percy Wyndham Lewis, Christopher Nevinson and Paul Nash and includes a visual analysis of the major works of these artists during and shortly after the War. It also looks at the British Pictoral Propaganda Department and Muirhead Bone and various government comissions from 'war artists'. It argues that the war effectively dissolved England's only true modern movement and that the war had dramatically different effects on Wyndham Lewis, Nevinson, and Nash.
From the Paper
"Nevinson was the first of the artists to go into war, as well as the first to exhibit work inspired by his experiences on the Front. His one-man show at the Goupil Gallery in 1916 exhibited works from 1915-16 done in a Futurist/Cubist idiom. Works from this period include Bursting Shell, Explosion, French Troops Resting, La Mitrailleuse, Returning to the Trenches, Column on the March, and La Patrie. These are among his best wartime efforts, particularly the last two. La Patrie (1916) is a skillful composition, successful both in its form and expression. Nevinson portrays the palpable suffering of wounded victims in the dark interior of a Red Cross shelter, where the small amount of light that enters the barren space serves only to make visible the anguished faces and blood-soaked bandages in the foreground and large number of people in the background, and to spotlight the newly-arriving patient being carried in on a stretcher."
