Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts social theory with classical theory, noting that a comparison of the two brings together a modern view that man is his surrounding with the classical view that man makes his own surroundings. The paper outlines the differences between the two theories but also points out that both theories are connected in their basic need for understanding man's relationship with himself and within society and that both theories observe the interactions of man.
From the Paper
"American social theory varies from European social theory in that Americans are self reliant in the observations of their surroundings. We do not look far beyond the obvious. We study our surrounding and base our perceptions on the immediate rather than the past. European social theory takes into account the ramifications of our past colliding with our present. This collision develops into the social theories that govern our actions. In European social theory, there is still a certain about of classical rhetoric that is used to permeate the observances of the present."

Abstract
This paper discusses the lives of Archimedes and Carl Friedrich Gauss, two of the greatest mathematicians of all time. The paper provides a point by point comparison of their childhood and education, outlines each of their mathematical contributions and examines the influence their work continues to have on the science of mathematics.
From the Paper
"Far more details survive about the life of Archimedes than about any other ancient scientist, but scholars disagree on which details are fact and which are anecdotal. The most famous Archimedes story centers on how he determined the proportion of gold and silver in a crown made for Hieron through measuring water displacement. Since he supposedly made the discovery while in the bathtub, the excited Archimedes ran naked through the streets of Syracuse shouting ?Eureka!? (Muir 20)."

Abstract
This essay takes a look at two characters from two classic American novels, Edith Wharton?s "The Age of Innocence" and F. Scott Fitzgerald?s "The Great Gatsby". This paper has basically four parts: Introduction, analysis of Newland Archer, analysis of Gatsby, conclusion. The two middle sections include passages from the texts to enunciate points made in the paper. The conclusion focuses more on these characters comparisons rather than their contrasting traits.
From the Paper
"Newland Archer and Gatsby are similar because they are both American males from New York. There are different types of New Yorkers, which is constrained by the time period in which they respectively live. This chronological boundary does effect what type of men they are, in the way that they relate to women, but doesn?t alter the American essence that these two men possess. Gatsby and Newland Archer are comparable Americans, but contrasting New Yorkers."

Abstract
This paper discusses the themes of contrasts, of honor and deceit, spinsterhood or bachelorhood and marriage and honor and betrayal that are found in William Shakespeare's plays "The Taming of the Shrew" and "Much Ado About Nothing." The paper focuses on the main contrast of character type in both texts which is achieved by pairing two contrasting sets of lovers against one another. It discusses the articulate love of the couples of Petruchio and Kate in "The Taming of the Shrew" and Beatrice and Benedict in "Much Ado About Nothing."
From the Paper
"Shakespeare suggests that all relationships are to some extent dependant upon mendacity. However, the question is how harmless these lies might be. The greater lie is in fact Claudio's perception of Hero as perfect, not the fact that Beatrice has not been dying of love for Benedict. In fact, as the audience is well aware if not the lovers themselves, Beatrice and Benedict are ideally suited for one another. They alone speak the same language of all the characters in the play, a dialogue of witty repartee. When engaged in dialogue with other characters, quite often the other characters are overcome by their wit, like Don Pedro when he attempts to woo Beatrice, and Claudio when Benedict expresses his dim view of love at the beginning of the play. In "The Taming of the Shrew," until she meets Petruchio, Kate is utterly dominant over her father and her sister. Only by finding a man who can match her barb for barb is she re-integrated into the society, just as Benedict is not reintegrated into peacetime society after war, until he finds a match in Beatrice."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts two short stories of prominent African-American writer, Richard Wright, "Big Black Good Man" and "Bright and Morning Start." It analyzes how the author uses setting, point of view, and symbolism to illustrate racial tensions and to convey to his audience the damage that can be caused by stereotyping and prejudicial behavior.
From the Paper
""Bright and Morning Star" is set in the Deep South of the 1920's or 1930's. While racially motivated violence took place all over the country at that time, it has become more closely associated to the Southern region of the United States. As Wright was raised in the South, he was well-acquainted with the highly segregated society and the oppression of blacks that he depicts in this story. The action takes place over one night, beginning in the home of Aunt Sue, who watches outside as the rain "bogs things down lika watah-soaked coffin" (1891), the water pooling on the ground, as the clay is unable to soak up the torrential downpour. This, coupled with a "cold rush of damp wind" (1894) creates an atmosphere of danger and gloom that contrasts sharply with the warmth and comfort of Sue's home (1894, 1898)."
