“All literature shows us power of emotion, it is emotion, not reason that motivates characters in literature.”This powerful quote was once said by Duff Brenna. Yes this quote is true. This quote means that author’s put life into the characters they create in literature. Characters that act on emotion, gets the reader gets emotionally attached to them and they just want to keep reading that book without putting it down. The Glass Menagerie written by Tennessee Williams and Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare help to prove this is true.…

Is it socially acceptable behaviour for people to dedicate their lives to an object? Sure, one might say. People have passions and hobbies; these “objects” are worked hard for and should be enjoyed. Although most would say that this type of behaviour is not how normal people should live and that life’s fruition lies in the hands of social interaction; we can only truly enjoy life in the company of other humans, not objects. Where is the line drawn? Is it possible to cling on to a possession so much that it starts to detrimentally affect the person involved? W.D. Valgardson’s short story The Novice demonstrates that this is certainly a possibility. The protagonist undergoes a similar situation; he gets caught up in idealism (glamorizing his boat – his prized possession (named Sally Anne) – to nearly abnormal proportions) which skews his perception of “truth”. The reason he acts this way is due to his lonely, one dimensional, and peculiar lifestyle. Readers of Valgardson’s short story should learn that people are prone to romanticizing their material possessions, and that such behavior is caused by isolation and the refusal to live in accordance to societal norms, which is likely to result consequences such as irrational thoughts and the inability to face the truth.…

The author Judy Murphy states that the health care system should revolve around the patient, rather than the patient rotating around the hospital. The author talks about how a hospital centric view has evolved over the years to a more continuum of care view; a wellness/ health maintenance model where emphasis of care is outside the hospital in other venues such as outpatient, ambulatory/ clinic, and home care (Murphy, 2011). In this critical analysis we will demonstrate why we think she is right and analyze the four practices she thinks should contribute to a better patient centered care, and point out where the author comes up short.…

Ray Bradbury’s “The Sound of Thunder” and Gloria Skurzynski’s “Nethergrave” are both good science fiction stories. These stories are both about scientific technology changing the life of a certain person, although there are a few different themes in these stories. In, “The Sound of Thunder,” Eckells has a rude awakening when he realizes that he will be facing harsh consequences due to the fact that he didn’t obey the few rules that were given at the beginning of his journey. In “Nethergrave,” Jeremy chooses to revolve his life around the virtual world, rather than the real world where he is constantly bullied and usually feeling embarrassed, abandoned and sometimes hurt. However, both of these characters are rather similar, as they are both being selfish in an unselfish way without realizing that they are in fact being selfish. Both of these stories revolve around the effect certain choices have on others’ future and even your own future.…

After reading my first critical reflection paper the one thought that keeps scrolling in my brain is, “how naive I have been concerning IVP/domestic violence”. I remember not wanting to “label” myself as a “victim” because “I am and was not ever a VICTIM!” I was strong and able to leave that relationship so how does that make me a victim? How naive for me to think in that manner. I like to rename this “Critical Reflection Paper II, to “Enlightenment Paper”. I also have been taught a new word to replace “victim”, I am a survivor! My experience may not have been as sever as others but just the same, I am a survivor if IVP. I recall in our text, chapter 2 pg. 29, “Women’s perceptions and reactions to abuse, as well as the help available to them, are influenced by the lens through which they see the world and the intersectionality of the different cultural influences on their lives” (Lockhart, L., and Danis, F. 2010). Our experiences are defined by how we see the world, not…

Young teenagers try too hard to become adults. Sometimes many actions teenagers think are mature, but always end up backfiring on them. Richard Wright’s “The Man Who Was Almost a Man” demonstrates how a young teenager seeks a level of maturity and independence that he’s not yet ready for. For example, Dave thinks he is ready to show everyone that he is a man, but in the end his actions backfire leaving him with in a position with less respect than he had before.…
