Abstract
The United States of America is a melting pot of various communities who have been residing in the country for generations. They feel assimilated into the American culture where many of them have been born and brought up in the U.S. and hence have remote connections with the country of their ancestors. However, there are times when these communities are in doubt over their assimilation. This paper studies the case of Wen Ho Lee - an employer of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Dr. Lee, a Taiwanese-born American was accused of tampering, altering and concealing classified information, as well as with removing secret weapons files from the Los Alamos computers. The paper describes the Asian-American community's anger against Dr. Lee's 9-month solitary confinement before he was freed in 1999 and their claims that his arrest was made on the grounds of racial prejudice.
From the Paper
"Congressman Mike Honda D-San Jose also contributed by taking the petition to President George Bush. The campaign has been founded and led by Cecilia Chang of Fremont who believes that the fight is not for Wen Ho Lee alone but the entire nation that it represents which includes every American of Asian descent. She added that such organized response would guard and protect the Asian Americans against what may happen in the future. The campaign for getting as many signatures in support of Wen Ho Lee as possible extended itself to the internet where the supporters signed up online at www.wenholee.org. The petition campaign was co-sponsored by the Sacramento Chinese American Political Action Committee, East Bay Asian Voters Consortium, Association of North California Chinese Schools, South Alameda County Peace and Justice Coalition, and Joint Chinese University Alumni Association of Southern California. Endorsers included Citizens for a Better Community (Fremont), Honolulu Japanese American Citizens League and United Muslims of America (Sunnyvale) ."

Abstract
This paper explains that, although General Robert E. Lee is most often remembered as the man who opposed the end of slavery, he also played an important role in the Mexican-American War and the Reconstruction period and served as the superintendent of West Point and the president of Washington College (now known as Washington and Lee College). The author points out that Lee was the son of Light Horse Harry Lee, a famous military leader of the Revolutionary War. The paper relates that Robert E. Lee was arrested after the Civil War and indicted for treason; however, he was never tried. The paper states that, although Lee applied for a federal pardon in 1865, five years before his death, his application for restoration of citizenship was granted only in the 1970s.
Outline:
Childhood and the Need to Follow in the Footsteps of His Father
Lee's Time at West Point
His Military Training
His Marriage
The Time before the Civil War
The Choice to Defend Virginia
The War and Its Conclusion
Lee after the War
Lee's Death
From the Paper
"Lee began his service to the Confederate States by doing vital staff work to plan the army's attacks. His plans for the battle of Manassas were totally successful; this represented the first major victory of the war for the Confederate States. This was a shock for the North. The North had planned on a victory bringing a quick end to the war. But, the victory went to the South. Although Lee was unable to attend the Battle of Manassas (also known as the Battle of Bull Run), his battle plans led to the Southern victory. The South won this battle in great part to Lee's great military experience and battle strategies."

Abstract
This paper explains that Harper Lee?s "To Kill a Mockingbird" is well-crafted, using language that suits the mind of child. The author points out that, in contrast to Lee?s style in "To Kill a Mocking Bird", Shelley has a more complex style of writing as demonstrated in her language use, sentence structure, and higher-level vocabulary. The paper shows that both Shelley and Lee make use of quotations; however, Lee?s descriptions of scenes and the metaphors she uses indicate a skill that she exhibits to a greater extent in her book.
From the Paper
"Harper Lee?s descriptions in ?To Kill a Mockingbird? are quite plain as compared to those of Shelley?s. In her following words this fact is exemplified when she describes Maycomb as ?an old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square?. The words that she has used here are direct and straightforward. They are easy to comprehend, even for school-aged children."

Abstract
This paper examines how, in 1946, the French entered a war against the Viet Minh who desired Viet Nam?s independence and were led by communist Ho Chi Minh. It looks at how American long-term fear of Communism and the unity of Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh encouraged the U.S. to maintain its involvement with this Asian country and how it was not until 1973 and a multitude of losses that America finally pulled out. It analyzes whether Ho Chi Minh was a major threat to Western democracy, basing its facts on the book, "Ho Chi Minh", by world-renowned authority on Vietnam, William Duiker, who concludes that Ho Chi Minh was a Vietnamese patriot and a leader with whom the U.S. could and should have been able to work.
From the Paper
"In fact, Ho Chi Minh was not always treated well by his fellow Communist leaders (ibid). When Ho visited Moscow in 1950, Stalin's attitude to his guest was, according to Nikita Khrushchev, "offensive" and "infuriating." The situation with Mao Tse-Tung in China was not much better. Having convinced himself that war with America was a necessary evil and might break out anywhere on the Chinese borders, Mao looked on Vietnam as a useful buffer state, or another Korea. Ho regarded the Chinese with great uneasiness; one of the constant themes of Vietnam's history has been resistance to Chinese domination."

From the Paper
" "Rosa Lee" written by Leon Dash, investigative reporter for The Washington Post, chronicles four years in the life of Rosa Lee Cunningham's poverty stricken family in Washington, D.C. It is, in essence, a list of events that occurred between the years of 1991 and 1994 to Rose Lee, the 52-year-old link between a rural generation of sharecroppers and the growing urban under-underclass who survive through their "street smarts." Rosa Lee exemplifies the fact that in America the cycle of abject poverty and violence is an endless and continual spiral downward.
Dash describes his chronicle as a "close-up look at the interrelationships among racism, poverty, illiteracy, drug use, and crime, and why these problems sometimes persist from generation to generation (Dash, 1997, p. 7)."
The book is a stark, frightening example of crime and drugs as a.."

Abstract
A brief biography of Robert E. Lee, born in Stratford, Virginia, on January 19, 1807. The writer explores Lee's family background as well as his early entrance into military and political life. Lee was a staunch advocate of state?s rights and as such, resigned his commission from the United States Army and offered himself to the newly forming Confederate government and Jefferson Davis as a military advisor. The writer believes that Robert E. Lee was a great general who paid a high price for sticking to the principles he held most dear.
From the Paper
"Lee worked in various assignments in the U.S. Army following his graduation from the Academy as an Army engineer. In 1845, the United States went to war with Mexico, and Lee, then a captain, was assigned to General Winfield Scott?s staff. Lee?s job was to map the terrain the U.S. Army would be marching into. Eventually he moved into military leadership roles, including leading soldiers into battle (Brasington, 2003). In addition to valuable combat skill, Lee served with other officers he would fight against during the War Between the States, including George Pickett and Ulysses S. Grant."

Abstract
This paper presents a brief biographical account of Robert E. Lee's life and then takes a look at his military accomplishments and acumen. The paper considers how the Civil War would have been affected had Lee fought on the side of the North, discusses Lee's leadership of the Confederate Army, and examines how Lee's military career and life have had lasting impact on American history.
From the Paper
"Robert E. Lee was a significant figure in history and his actions impacted history in many ways. Lee is considered to be among other things, a great solider. He was also an ideal strategist and his decisions did lead to implications that can be seen today. Perhaps the most significant of his actions was choosing to support the Confederates. For example, had he decided to side with the North, the Civil War might have lasted less than a year. In addition, Lee?s actions had a ripple effect on the Emancipation Proclamation as well as the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments. His life is a constant reminder of how individuals can shape history. "

Emperor Wen-ti, First of the Sui Dynasty, 2006.
This paper outlines Emperor Wen-ti's (581-604 C.E.) rise to power at the onset of the Sui dynasty in China beginning in 581 C.E. until its fall one emperor later in 617 C.E..

Abstract
This paper explains that, after the period of dis-unification, Yan Chien proclaimed himself Emperor Wen-ti initiating the Sui dynasty, which was modeled after the earlier Han dynasty. The author points out that the Sui dynasty centralized Chinese power and returned an air of legitimacy to the imperial house; the principles of governance perfected during the Sui Dynasty remained ingrained in imperial China until its dissolution nearly 1,300 years later. The paper relates that Wen-ti chose to demolish the former capitol Ch'ang-an and rebuild it with the help of distinguished architect and engineer Yu-wen K'ai; Ch'ang-an would become not only the center of Chinese political thought but also the center of the Universe, presided over by the "Son of Heaven".
From the Paper
"A man of great piety, Wen-ti actively nurtured the construction of Buddhist and Taoist temples and the recovering and re-copying of both religious and secular literature. To further the goals of unification Wen-ti issued decrees on the, "purification of Chinese literary style" (Wright 10). The Emperor offered charters to those willing to build Buddhist temples and both Wen-ti and his empress were to construct several, including one dedicated to her honor after her death in 603 CE. It is said that this temple was to house a tooth of the Buddha brought back by the pilgrim Fa-hsien from India in the fifth century (Wright 89). However pious, Wen-ti and his advisors also saw organized Buddhism as a force that needed constant monitoring in order to retain the Emperor's divine right of pronouncement on all matters of morality and public policy."

Abstract
This paper explains that John B. Lee's poem, "Hockey Heart" reflects the Canadian spirit towards hockey, not simply as a sport for the nation, but as a way of life. The paper goes on to discuss the significance of the opening line of the poem, how Lee is able to capture the very personal relationship to hockey that each Canadian has even though it is an activity held dear by all Canadians, and the effective use of images in the poem. The paper concludes that Lee's poem "Hockey Heart" is like a national anthem, in that it is identifiable to those who had played and loved hockey.
From the Paper
"Lee's hockey player however is the most committed boy of the bunch: he is "always the last to leave" a game. In each Canadian child hockey player's mind, they are the most passionate about the sport, and usually the most adept, committed player. However, Lee's hockey player is revealed here to be not only a committed player but the most romantic and dedicated one. The fact that he is the last to leave shows that he is the one who lags around after the game, reflecting on the game, his performance and his love of the sport."

Edgar Allan Poe's Poem: "Annabel Lee", 2007.
This paper analyzes the poem "Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe and notes that the poem shows great symbolism with images and feelings of love and death.

Abstract
This paper explains that the most important part of Poe's poem, "Annabel Lee", is the speaker's love for Annabel Lee and how his love is unaffected by her death. The author points out that the word choice in this poem, which uses words that give the feeling of a medieval fairy tale story, is one of the greatest aspects of the entire work. The paper relates that the speaker describes many series of opposites throughout the entire poem, such as the idea from the beginning through the end that the speaker says they are in a "kingdom by the sea". The author concludes that "Annabel Lee" was not a religious prayer or any type of sermon; but rather, Poe wrote this poem with the knowledge that love will stay forever.
From the Paper
"Many times throughout the poem the speaker tells about how heavenly beings and winged seraphs look down and how they wish they had the same love that the speaker and Annabel Lee share together. There is a possibility that these angels could have caused the death of Annabel Lee, or at least the speaker thinks this is a possibility. Many things such as jealousy could be explanations to why the angels, or devils, would have killed what was a great young relationship between two lovers. In the fifth stanza the speaker directly talks about these beings."

General Robert E. Lee, 2002.
This paper discusses the history and reputation of General Robert E. Lee (1807-70).

Abstract
This paper states that more than any man in American history, General Robert E. Lee earned a simultaneous reputation as a hero and a traitor. The paper explains that Lee was a general who did not believe war was a solution to political problems, a hero of the secessionists and a born aristocrat who believed that the Union, despite its Jeffersonian ideals of democracy, should be kept intact. The author believes that, against his better practical instincts, Lee was forced to accept his state's (Virginia) decision to withdraw from the Union and the Confederacy's decision to pin its highest hopes on his skills as a military leader.
From the Paper
"Lee was in Virginia and was not under active orders at the moment when Virginia finally decided to leave the Union. This also was the precise moment when Lincoln, via Francis P. Blair and Lee's military mentor General Winfield Scott, offered him command of the army that was being formed in response to the President's call to arms. It was agonizing for Lee to decide to leave the army he had served for thirty-two years, the tradition established by his father and other heroes of the Revolution, and follow his state on what he believed was an unwise course. Yet "he believed he had no other option". He resigned his commission with the army, and within a few days accepted command of the newly created "military and naval forces of Virginia".

Spike Lee, 2005.
A look at how Spike Lee uses New York as a theme in his movies.

Abstract
This paper examines how director Spike Lee uses the city of New York as a theme in his movies as well as
a foundation for the visual structure of his movies. The paper examines Lees' films, "25th Hour" and "Do the Right Thing", and suggest that the New York serves as a "background character."
From the Paper
"In his films, "25th Hour" and "Do the Right Thing", Spike Lee uses New York both as a theme and a foundation for the visual structure of the film. In both cases, Lee relies on the cosmopolitan mosaic of New York to dramatize a series of inter-connected characters much the way he seems to view New York as a place of interconnected characters. In the film, "25th Hour", Spike Lee uses New York as both background and character. Perhaps one could argue the city serves..."
