Barry Powell's "Classical Myth": Mythological Goddesses And Dominance
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Whether intentional or by happenstance, mythology places goddesses at the bottom of the totem pole with regard to their status as living beings. As a means by which to control the fairer sex, mythological gods have historically created a hostile environment in which goddesses are forced to exist. Hesiod's Pandora is but one instance when a woman's beauty is employed as a ruse for death, disease and treachery. Clearly, one of the most prominent literary motifs of mythology is that of power. When determining who truly exercises power in archaic society, one first must study the ancient societies and what was important in their existence. Indeed, it can readily be argued that patriarchy ruled ancient Greece, inasmuch as the ancestral ties associated with the male gender were as strong as steel. However, not all gods were deemed acceptable to adopt a position of power, a concept that is readily apparent within the literary boundaries of Hesiod's other mythological tales.

Chupacabras: Clearly Fictional Creatures
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Fantastic creatures have existed throughout time as the direct result of man's overactive imagination. From the Loch Ness Monster to Bigfoot, history has never had a shortage of wholly unaccountable, bizarre living things and the people who have sighted them. The fervor and hype surrounding one particularly intriguing creature named Chupacabras was especially noted during the last decade of the twentieth century, with its telltale legacy of leaving behind blood-sucked animal carcasses a recurring find in Puerto Rico. Indeed, arguments are strong from both sides -- with believers surmising the short, red-eyed reptilian-like attacker to be an alien, mutant or, worse yet, a secret government experiment gone awry -- but the lack of any more convincing evidence beyond visual sightings does not establish much credibility to its existence, leaving only one possible theory: Chupacabras is wholly fictional.

Early Christianity/A Mix of Myth

A 4 page research paper that which addresses traditional Christian dogma that asserts that the Bible is literally true and that the story of Jesus' life, death and resurrection are unique.
