This 3-page undergraduate paper answers study questions about The Decameron, including questions such as ?How might the story of Cerpperello(the first story) be interpreted as a reply to Dante? What does it suggest about the nature of sin, divine mercy, and redemption? Keeping in mind the ?fictional? confession that Cerpperello offers the friar, what does it imply about the nature of fiction? In what ways might the stories of Guilaume De Rousillon (ninth story of the fourth day) and Nastagio Degli Onesti (eight story of the fifth day ) be seen as echoing scenes in Dante? What do these tales suggest about the values associated with the institution of courtly love? What meaning or moral, if any, do you see in the story of the Pinuccio, Adriano, and Niccolosa (the sixth story of the ninth day) be seen as echoing scenes in Dante? What do these tales suggest about the values associated with the institution of courtly love? What does the story of Federigo and Monna Giovanna (the ninth tale of the fifth day) suggest about the nature of the courtly lover? Why must the child die in this story? What would be wrong if he lived? How are we meant to view Griselda and Gualtieri in the final tale of the Decameron (tenth story of the tenth day)? Do you see her as a passive victim, a saint, or simply as an idiot? Is he a tyrannical monster-or an agent of god sent to reveal Griselda?s inner virtue?"

1906.20471 ?The Tyger? and William Blake
This three-page paper discusses the meaning of William Blake's poem, The Tyger. The Tyger asks questions that most people ask today. Why does God allow bad to happen. Why do events such as September 11th tragedy, cancer, violence, terrorism, and etc. happen? If God is good, then why does evil happen. A tiger waits to jump on its prey as often evil will jump on its prey. Life is not always all black and white, there are gray areas in life too.

1909.20520 The Importance of the Modern Self in Raymond Carver?s ?Are These Actual Miles??
This 3-page undergraduate essay considers Raymond Carver?s short story, ?Are These Actual Miles??. Briefly, this essay answers the question ?Aside from not having enough money to pay his bills, what do you think is Leo's greatest problem is?? Further, this essay briefly considers the significance and meaning of the title. In short, this essay argues that Carver?s story can best be understood as a narrative about a man fighting to understand the self in modern society. Although Leo?s problems are seemingly financial, it is soon obvious that his real hardship lies in his poor sense of self. Partly as a result of his own beliefs, and partly as a result of society, Leo comes to feel worthless, a fact that affects his relationship with his wife and his interaction with the salesman. His poor sense of self leads Leo to act suspiciously towards his wife, it leads him to accept his wife?s insults, and it makes him unable to answer the salesman?s direct questions.
