Black Elk Speaks
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper which discusses the book "Black Elk Speaks: Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux," translated and published by John Neihardt, and argues that it is a tale of how the his tribe, and perhaps all Native American Tribes, lost much of what was precious to them. We examine the fact that the death of their power and way of life could have been caused by the arrival of the White man, but that it could also have been for reasons unknown as of yet, which is, in many ways, what Black Elk seems to be saying. The White man, therefor, was only a tool that helped destroy the way of life and the power of the Native peoples. No additional sources cited.

Blaise Pascal
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Blaise Pascal - the only son and one of four children born to Étienne, a local judge, and a mother who would die when Blaise was only three years old – is noted as being one of history's most naturally talented individuals when it came to mathematical concepts. While many believe his "reputation rests more on what he might have done than on what he actually effected" (Ball, 1960, p. PG) because of a fixation upon religious studies, Pascal has nonetheless earned a weighty position in the annals of mathematical application. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Book Review of “Gandhi: A Life” by Yogesh Chadha
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page book review of “Gandhi: A Life” by Yogesh Chadha (1997). Gandhi’s peaceful process was integral in the negotiations of the independence of India and while his methods may have seemed against many of the traditions of the Hindus, his acceptance of other religions and Western ways paved the way for a new and independent India. While Chadha used historical methods to relate the biography of Gandhi and tries to strip away several myths about the saint, he at the same time shows how Gandhi in his open, accepting and non-violent resistance was able to unite the Indian people toward a new independence even at the cost of his own life.

Booker T. Washington/Up From Slavery
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that discusses and analyzes Booker T. Washington's autobiography. The writer argues that Washington brought rational discourse and reasoned compromise to a volatile era in race relations. He fully realized that a black man could not get a white man to consider his position unless he managed to get around the overt bigotry, antagonism and defensiveness. As his autobiography demonstrates, Washington excelled at this. The purpose of this text is to get white America to think, to consider the black perspective and to see that rights for African Americans benefited everyone. No additional sources cited.

Carl Jung/Autobiography
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page analysis of chapter 4 from Jung's autobiography Memories, Dreams Reflections (1965). Carl Jung refers to this account of his life as "personal myth." He states that he considers it irrelevant as to whether or not the stories he relates are "true," but that he is concerned only with whether or not those stories relate "my fable, my truth" (p. 3). In the fourth chapter of this account, Jung offers a detailed look at his "Psychiatric Activities." However, considering the manner in which Jung introduces his account of his life, one has to question his intent in his summation of case studies, as his stated purpose is to relate details about himself. Therefore, this examination of chapter IV of Jung's book looks at the symbolic nature of these cases and what they inform the reader about Carl Jung. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
