Hemingway And The Search For Meaning In Life, David M. Strain
Hemingway And The Search For Meaning In Life, David M. Strain
Honors Theses
It is difficult to define the precise nature of this study. Strictly speaking, it is not a literary study, for the questions which it asks and the topics which it addresses go beyond the traditional boundaries of literary criticism. Likewise, it is not a philosophical study, for it transcends that discipline as well. Neither is it an eclectic combination of the two. This paper is a part of a deeply personal self-examination which I have undergone over the last three years. As I have tried to determine the ways in which Hemingway characters find meaning in life, I have also …
The Prisoners In German Concentration Camps, Debbie Jo Smith
The Prisoners In German Concentration Camps, Debbie Jo Smith
Honors Theses
The term Holocaust comes from the Hebrew word olah, meaning burnt sacrifice. In the Greek translation of the Old Testament, this word became holokauston. Today, the word Holocaust is used to denote the Nazi persecution of the Jews, resulting in the extermination of some six million men, women, and children in concentration and extermination camps. The term should bring to mind horrible images of torture, death, and destruction. Yet, in most cases, this does not happen. Although many people are familiar with The Diary of Anne Frank, The Hiding Place, and The Holocaust, even in today's highly educated society, …
Is The West Responsible For Lenin's Rise To Power?, Stephen D. Ramsey
Is The West Responsible For Lenin's Rise To Power?, Stephen D. Ramsey
Honors Theses
The year 1917 is probably the most significant year in modern Russian history, Many people view this as the year of the Bolsheviks. Indeed, Lenin and his cohorts seized the reigns of government in November (all date will be given in New Style) of that year and propelled Russia down an untrodden path of history. The effects of this revolution now permeate the globe. Some view that fateful day as the beginning of man's salvation from the exploitation of capitalism. Others view it as the birth of a pernicious disease which must be eliminated in a final apocalyptic battle to …
A. D. Bache And The Coast Survey, Robert Arnold Lefkowitz
A. D. Bache And The Coast Survey, Robert Arnold Lefkowitz
Honors Theses
The Coast Survey is one of the oldest scientific agencies
created by the Federal Government. Under the direction of
Alexander Dallas Bache, the Survey has been called "antebellum
America's great·est·I, attempt at applied science."1
This paper will examine the impact A. D. Bache's superintendency
had upon the growth of the Survey (1843-1867). In order to
achieve this objective this paper will examine the congressional
legislative growth of the Coast Survey and other
background information concerning the Survey. Next this
paper will investigate the life and times of A. D. Bache.
After a discussion of these two topics this article …
Contemporary Soviet Life, Phyllis Theresa Faulkner
Contemporary Soviet Life, Phyllis Theresa Faulkner
Honors Theses
In October of 1917, the Bolshevik Party, under the leadership of V.I. Lenin, led a revolution and took over the Provisional Government. Unlike others, who had failed before them, the Bolsheviks were successful in that they involved the peasants in the revolutionary effort. Theirs was a revolution for the people, for the workers. It was not directed as had been the others, toward the upper and middle classes. To get the support which they so desperately needed from the peasants they promised nationalization of the land. No longer would the peasants be exploited by their landlords. They were promised the …
Dramatic Criticism: Theory And Practice, Kenneth M. Locke
Dramatic Criticism: Theory And Practice, Kenneth M. Locke
Honors Theses
This paper is the result of four hours of senior level study, and as such completes the requirements of the honors program for graduating with honor. A brief explanation of it is certainly in order.
I envisioned this paper as a series of essays, much along the same format as one of the "Twain Series," or "Twentieth Century Critical Reviews." As befits the title of this paper, they deal with both the theory and practice of Dramatic Criticism.
In several places I have opted to use the vocabulary of the original author in order to avoid Pen Warren's "heresy of …
A Voice From The Shadows: The Novels Of Toni Morrison, Ardith A. Muse
A Voice From The Shadows: The Novels Of Toni Morrison, Ardith A. Muse
Honors Theses
The three novels of Toni Morrison to date deal with elements of both the feminine and the African consciousness. The dominant characters developed in her novels act within a socially isolated black community, and often in a largely or wholly female household. The values embodied in her novels, as well as the imagery and language, are derived in large part from African culture and archetypes of the feminine unconscious.
Iran; Nicaragua; Cuba; An Analysis Of Revolutions, Neil Moynihan
Iran; Nicaragua; Cuba; An Analysis Of Revolutions, Neil Moynihan
Honors Theses
Can these revolutions be explained by the withdrawal of the United States? It seems not. Can all three revolutions fit under any one theory of revolution? The answer here will probably also be: no; each theory, however, gives valuable hints about what aspects of each revolution one should analyze.
The Evolution Of The Statute Of Uses And Its Effects On English Law, Timothy L. Martin
The Evolution Of The Statute Of Uses And Its Effects On English Law, Timothy L. Martin
Honors Theses
The separation of the lay and ecclesiastical courts complicated the law of succession as they drew a distinction between real and personal property. Laws pertaining to land were molded by royal courts of common law and equity, whereas laws relevant to succession of chattels were based on Roman and canonical law as interpreted by the ecclesiastical courts.
