A 15 page research paper/essay that examines the theme of violence in Frederick Douglass' Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs' Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl and W.E.B. Du Bois' The Souls of Black Folk. The writer argues that the violence regularly perpetrated against people of African descent is a common thread connecting these works. While, naturally, these authors address other issues and complications of the institution of slavery, violence provides a background theme that serves to underscore all else. It is the coercive and pervasive element that white mainstream culture uses to keep blacks "in their place" during the antebellum era, and long after African Americans theoretically were free. In regards to the slave narratives of Douglass and Jacobs, the writer focuses on the differences between male and female slave experience. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

A 15 page research paper that offers musical analysis of Oliver Messiaen's most famous work, Quatuor pour la fin du Temps (Quartet for the End of Time). This report particularly focuses on the sixth movement of this eight-movement quartet, which is quite distinctive rhythmically and exemplifies Messiaen's treatment of rhythm. The writer argues that the first two measures of this movement offer a rhythmic motive that provides the basis for the rest of the movement. Through repetition, added rhythmic values, augmentation and subtraction, virtually every rhythmic idea in the remainder of the movement evolves from these two measures. Before addressing the sixth movement directly, however, in order to explore how Messiaen accomplishes this remarkable development, the writer discusses the movement in relation to the rest of the work and briefly looks at his background.
