James Webb/Field of Fire
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page book review that focuses on the character of Snake from James Webb's Fields of Fire (1978). The writer argues that Snake is a man who is totally devoid of this quality in the conventional sense of the word. His internal compass of conscience operates primarily according what he perceives as the course of action most likely to favor himself. However, the novel shows that this virtually psychopathic mentality is altered by military experience to include consideration for his comrades in arms. No additional sources cited.

Jan Brunvand’s Works on Urban Legends, “The Vanishing Hitchhiker” and “The Baby Train”: Development of Changes in Format and Presentation
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the differences found in Brunvand’s “The Vanishing Hitchhiker” and “The Baby Train”. Jan Brunvand’s text “The Vanishing Hitchhiker: American Urban Legends and Their Meanings” (1981) introduced a generation to contemporary American urban legends, their origins, their development, and contained detailed accounts as to the depth of research in understanding the legends. Twelve years later, Brunvand released his fifth volume of urban legends entitled “The Baby Train and Other Lusty Urban Legends” (1993). The format of his presentation in this volume changed somewhat to include shorter narratives and less accompanying explanatory statements about each legend. Instead, Brunvand focused much more on the typing and cross-referencing of the legends contained and on the international contexts many have reached. The reason for this change in format was mostly due to the fact that the field and the interest in urban legends had grown a great deal since his original text and because of this Brunvand was able to contain less explanatory text in regards to the research involved and thus avoid repeating himself and offering instead his readers a chance to see the extent of the field and the extent to which the knowledge of urban legends has reached on an international basis as well as an American one. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Jane Smiley's 'A Thousand Acres' / The Role Of Women
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The overt implications of fear and control represent the role women play in Jane Smiley's 'A Thousand Acres.' It can be argued that the author identified women as being akin to material possessions, equating them with things that are to be used, like land and other tangible entities. While it is clear that women have intrinsic value of their own, this aspect of the female gender is not readily acknowledged through characterization in Smiley's literary account. The writer discusses issues of fear and control in relation to 'A Thousand Acres.' Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Jay & Nick in Fitzgerald's Gatsby
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that contrasts and compares the characters of Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway from F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece The Great Gatsby. The writer argues that it is through Nick's perspective that Fitzgerald is able to dramatize this basic decency in Gatsby and show that this is a common feature of both men. Furthermore, Fitzgerald accomplishes the additional purpose, through the juxtaposition of these two characters, of contributing to the building his basic theme, which refers to the decline in cultural mores that Fitzgerald felt was occurring in the America of the 1920s. No additional sources cited.
