    First, Do No Harm

    Patrick Dismuke was a young African American boy, at the age of fifteen when the story starts, and a regular patient at Hermann Hospital. Patrick was born with a severe case of Hirschsprung’s disease, a disorder of the digestive tract, and was unable to digest his food. Throughout Patrick’s life, he spent more days in the hospital than out and came to be quite comfortable with the environment and staff at Hermann. Due to his disease his only way of nutrition was through a feeding tube, unfortunately these tubes often got infected. Since Patrick’s immune system was also weak, the infections were almost as bad as the disease itself. The doctors were forced to put the boy through surgery multiple times to replace infected tubes, each time making him weaker and bringing him closer to death. Once the he became too weak for the surgeries, the doctors were faced with a dilemma- to do surgery or not? The surgery to place a new tube directly into his heart would be risky and potentially kill him, but if the surgery did not occur, the infection would slowly destroy his body and block the tube causing him to starve to death. Before any decisions could be made, the doctors needed to consult the patients mother, Oria Dismuke, was a single mother who worked extensive hours at whatever jobs she could find sometimes working as many as three at a time. Oria was a quiet and didn’t have much to say about her opinion, it’s not that she didn’t care; she was just exhausted and wanted her son to be both happy and comfortable. Along with the mother, the doctors also had to meet with a hospital ethics committee before taking action. The committee met many times throughout the book and made many contradictory decisions depending on his progress at the time of the meeting. First, the committee decides to make Patrick DNR but he began to get better, so after consulting him, they ended up doing another risky surgery. The committee seemed…

    Character Analysis: Chris Mccandless

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation. I feel that McCandless was rather prepared, yet again he never could have been fully prepared for the unexpected. My opinion is that McCandless was vaguely aware of the struggles that he would encounter in the Alaskan wilderness such as his epiphany that "happiness is only real when shared" was realized when his body was dying of starvation. I believed that he found what he was…

    Randle Mcmurphy Character Analysis

    As analysis is conducted into the characters of both Chief Bromden and Randle McMurphy, it is easy to conclude that both have characteristics and preform actions that can be considered heroic. Physically both Bromden and McMurphy are huge. But, unlike McMurphy, Bromden does not have the self-confidence to match his gigantic exterior. This contrast in personality is due to the idea that Bromden has constantly been maltreated for the entirety of his life. McMurphy, on the other hand, refuses to be brought down because of his indomitable spirit.…

    A Prayer For Owen Meany Character Analysis

    The character study essay I wrote for A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving clearly demonstrates my knowledge of John Wheelwright and the text as a whole. I was able to dissect his personality, his relationships, and how he reacted to different conflicts. John Wheelright is not the main character, or protagonist, in A Prayer for Owen Meany, he is the narrator, which made it much more of a challenge to determine his personality. I had to understand the conflicts of the story and how John responded to them in order to determine his personality traits. For example, I determined he was curious because he seemed to feel almost as much resentment as sadness when his mom died. He felt this resentment because he had always been curious as to who…

    Ethan Frome Character Analysis

    Archetypal tragic heroes are often portrayed in ancient settings with unrealistic situations. In the novella Ethan Frome, Edith Wharton, counters this opinion by crafting a tragic hero that both connects with the archetype and defies the classic setting. The novella takes place in wintery Starkfield Massachusetts, in modern times. Nevertheless, Ethan Frome fits the characteristics of an archetypal tragic hero, as he has a tragic flaw and increased awareness of his situation. Thus, many arguments claiming that Ethan is not a tragic hero can easily be countered with close analysis of Ethan Frome. Thus, Wharton proved that Frome was a tragic hero, despite being placed in a modern, American setting.…
