SUBMITTED TO PROFESSOR HEATHER ANTECOL AND DEAN GREGORY HESS BY CHRISTOPHER BLEES FOR SENIOR THESIS SPRING 2011 APRIL 25, 2011 Acknowledgements I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the completion of this thesis in any way, shape, or form. First, I would like to thank my entire family, especially my father Jonathan, for helping me with my writing for so many years. I would like to thank my mother Carri, for providing constant support and reassurance through this entire process. I would also like to thank Tejas Gala for his tremendous help and friendship not just with this paper, but with all aspects of CMC. Finally, I would like to thank my reader Professor Heather Antecol. Without her support and her willingness to help me with the project, this thesis would not have been possible.
