156 Understanding Cassandra. This is a book report on Believing Cassandra: An Optimist Looks at a Pessimist's World is a book about the environment, its blunderings, and the sustainability of our world. This is a book for people trying to understand our intricate world and how it is failing and succeeding. I found the approach this book takes to the environment to be entertaining and worthwhile, for not just the information it provides, but the fresh perspective it offers on environmental issues. The author restores the reader's optimism in the world and explains how we can do even better for our future. The people who have predicted the end of the world, AtKisson says, "have been proven wrong, and have served to relegate all environmentally concerned comments to the fate of Cassandra's mutterings: They are ignored. And so they should be." (p. 12) He says, the earth is not a lost cause. And that's why he's written the book.

165 A Reflection on Thoreau's Essay on Civil Disobedience. This essay contains many themes, but most importantly it encourages the celebration of individuality. According to author Per Herngren in his book Path of Resistance: The Practice of Civil Disobedience, "Thoreau urges individual thought and the questioning of authority." (Herngren, 1993) A point that rises above even the largest of points made in Thoreau's essay. Thoreau goes on to criticize those who give their bodies and minds to the government, never questioning the government or having to make moral judgments. He also emphasizes non-conformity, another essential part of Transcendentalism. The essay talks of the rights of the minority, and how they should deal with a law they consider unjust or an action by their government they take to be wrong. He writes of the two ways that a concerned citizen to deal with an unjust law or action; to attempt to convince the majority of their opinion, or to protest with civil disobedience.

179 Araby an Analysis. This paper is an abstract analysis of Araby by James Joyce. There are many ways that this paper may be interpreted depending on the era in which you were raised, the religion which you were taught, also the morals and values that were passed on to you from your parents. I feel that most children at some time have an infatuation with another person of the opposite sex. For most, this is an almost inevitable happening. Is this wrong? Largely, I think it is part of growing up, a part of the learning process. There are also other issues that may be brought to the surface after a more detailed look into the piece. One of the issues that come into question is the respectability of the priest.

197 The English Patient: An Analysis. This is a book report on The English Patient and its author, Michael Ondaatje. The English Patient plays out largely in the mind of one man, a burn-scarred amnesiac being administered in a World War II-ravaged Italian villa by a Canadian nurse. Count Laszlo de Almasy remembers his days before the war, when he charted the African desert and began a torrid affair with the wife of a colleague. These thoughts are what fills his days and form his memories as he lies bedridden and sick. The inner conflict begins there. He has done wrong and there's nothing he can do about it.
