Abstract
This paper discusses the ideas of community acceptance of homosexuality. The author examines society's attitude to homosexuality by referring to four personal interviews which are personal accounts of criticisms of homosexuality.
From the Paper
"In our community there is common debate about homosexuality and whether it is right or wrong. There are many people who believe that homosexuality is wrong, but where we find a common problem is in the fact that these people have no business worrying about homosexuality, since it doesn?t affect their life directly in any way. Accepting homosexuality in our community would help our culture expand, and promote harmony in our community."

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."

Abstract
Stephen Sondheim?s ?Sweeney Todd? is a musical thriller that explores the issues of justice, crime detection and law enforcement through its amoral characters and its macabre plot. This paper endeavors to investigate the merits of this crime melodrama through the aforementioned issues and the message the play conveys in relation to these issues.
From the Paper
'In ?Sweeney Todd? vengeance is seen as a legal equalizer. Vengeance is seen as a method of meting out justice. Sweeney Todd returns to 19th century London after serving 15 years on false charges. He hopes to reunite with his wife and daughter but discovers that after he was taken by the authorities, his wife was raped (and later committed suicide because of the shame). His daughter was adopted by the very man who assaulted his wife and sent him to Australia for 15 years, Judge Turpin. (Kenney, 1998, 1) Todd vows to avenge his wife as well as the good life that could have been. ??Fifteen years sweating in a living hole on a trumped up charge. Fifteen years dreaming that perhaps, I might come home to a loving wife and child. Let them quake in their boots ? Judge Turpin and the Beadle ? for their hour has come.? (http://www.geocities.com/Broadway/Wing/9617/PoorThing.html, 3) If the innocent cannot be protected, than the guilty will surely be punished for their crimes.'

A formalistic criticism of the poem "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop.

Abstract
The paper is a criticism of the poem "One Art" by Elizabeth Bishop, using the formalist approach (which advocates that meaning is derived by anaylsis of the text only). In the poem, Bishop ponders whether one can become a master at losing things and provides an answer. The paper analyzes the poem?s use of value progression and the meaning of words and phrases both connotatively and denotatively. It shows how the thesis is made into a paradox by the last stanza, which in the end provides the ultimate meaning of the poem.
From the Paper
By comparing the phrase ?the art of losing isn?t hard to master? with the frequently used word ?disaster,? the meaning begins to take shape. This phrase is used four times in this nineteen-line poem (lines 1, 6, 12, 18). Considered closely with the word ?disaster,? also used four times, one sees the speaker is making a point of rhyming the words master and disaster to emphasize the denotative point that many losses are not disasters?they can be accepted without grief or regret (3, 9, 15, 19)."

Abstract
This paper is an admissions essay written by an aspiring Certified Public Accountant (CPA) for acceptance to the University of Southern California. The paper portrays the applicant's dreams and desires for his future. The paper discusses Ayn Rand's novel, "The Fountainhead," highlighting the hero's philosophy of life that rests solidly on a realist foundation of individualist power and self-reliance. The applicant compares his own personal philosophy of life to that of the book's hero.
From the Paper
"Howard Roark, the hero of Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead, won't stop short of genius or success. As an architect, he helps erect the solid yet symbolic structures of his personal ambition. His creative prowess is not appreciated by his contemporaries; he is ridiculed and professionally hindered. In spite of his inability to maintain a secure business because of these external obstacles, Roark emerges as an unequivocal success and role model for an individualist philosophy. It is his brand of self-determination and unabashed individualism that guides my personal parameters of success. I don't feel success can be defined by broad and blanket terms, and I don't feel that success depends on an ascription to cultural or social norms."

Abstract
This paper explains that systems and applications are being developed to facilitate the traditional manual process; code testing is a critical element to this procedure to ensure that systems function well and that they meet user-requirements. The author points out that manual code testing involves evaluation and assessment of program codes through manual process and whether the functionalities match those listed in the detailed design. The paper relates that unit testing, the process of checking the units (i.e. modules, subprograms) of a software product, involves individual checks and tests of every software component.

At Whose Site?
From the Paper
"User acceptance test may be performed either in the development site or in the implementation site (users? site). Normally, the pilot test is done in the development site which facilitates the need for modification should it be required. Upon the success of the pilot test, another user acceptance test may be performed in the implementation site to ensure that the system or software also functions well in the users? site."

From the Paper
"Accepting a position as an elementary school principle is a huge task. Not only is the principle responsible for the well-being, safety and education of the children, but also must also effectively and efficiently manage the staff. Learning is the primary objective, and all initiatives taken should keep this goal in mind. As principle, I anticipate the many problems and issues that may arise during my tenure, which it is my sole responsibility to alleviate."
