I wasn’t sure how I felt about his tattoo being exposed either. That sort of bothered me more. But after a quick wipe, he always let his plain, white t-shirt fall back into place. I preferred to believe that he liked keeping his tattoo a secret too, like it was something just between us. And it should be. Even though it was on his body, it was incredibly personal for each of us. It had kept him connected to me while we’d been apart. It had helped seal us when we’d gotten back together. Once their allotted time had diminished, the band members each gave small bows and Kellan thanked the crowd for listening. He was happier than I’d ever seen him as he backed away from the stand. His eyes flicked down to mine in the crowd. No, I was wrong before. The look he was giving me now was the happiest look I’d ever seen on him. The crowd around us started shifting, some staying to watch the next show, some leaving to check out another venue. Bumbershoot had dozens of artists playing at any given time, from the big names, to the locals, like the D-Bags. Having been here just last year with them, when Kellan and I had just been friends, well, as much of friends as we had ever been, it was a little surreal to see their name on the lineup posters. I’d snagged about three dozen of those posters as mementoes. Giggling, Jenny locked her arm with mine and pulled us towards the side of the stage. The guys were alternating between acknowledging the fans and unplugging their stuff. Kellan grabbed his prized guitar, and with a smile and a nod at me, ducked behind the stage. Jenny and I approached a metal railing fencing off the backstage area from the rest of the populace. And just in case the fence wasn’t enough of a warning, a couple of yellow-shirted security guards were shooing people away. Waiting in the spot where I knew Kellan would eventually appear, I, for a moment, wished I was forward enough to sneak behind

    Mr. Gawande starts his literature on washing hands. He introduces two friends a microbiologist and an infectious disease specialist. Both work hard and diligently against the spread of diseases just like Semmelweis who is mentioned in the chapter. Something I learned, that not many realize, is that each year two million people acquire an infection while they are in the hospital. Mainly because the clinicians only wash their hands one-third to one-half as many times as they should. Semmelweis, mentioned earlier, concluded in 1847 that doctors themselves were to blame for childbed fever, which was the leading cause of maternal death in childbirth. The best solutions are apparently the sanitizing gels that have only recently caught on in the U.S. Then there was an initiative to make the sanitizing easier for all. The engineer Perreiah came up with solutions that gave the staff more time which was revolutionary in itself but the format worked only under his supervision. After he left it all went down the drain, so, Lloyd a surgeon who had helped Perreiah decided to do more research and was excited when he encountered the positive deviance idea, the idea of building on people’s capabilities instead of trying to change them. The idea worked and even got funding for ten more hospitals across the country. At the end of the chapter Dr.Gawande ponders upon the idea of how many he has infected because of his lack of cleansing.…

The effects that challenging experiences can have on an individual will vary depending on how one interprets and takes action. The experiences are never neglected entirely and will linger until psychologically or physically dealt with.. People will either choose to filter the extraneous experience or grant the experience an allowance for a change in character. It is evident in particular short stories that significant experiences can have an impact on characters, initiating a change in character and or personality.…

The internal logic of poor and rich, non-violence and violence, black and white, freedom and integration, and moral and political. Poor and rich is the basis of social hierarchies. Social hierarchies is merely the power or privilege that attaches to you by your social position or status. It is applicable to all of society which characterizes the culture of the United States. Poverty is poorness which is defined by what it does not include, having money, rather than what it does include. Stokely Carmichael begins in his speech with poor instead of rich and then defines it by what it is not, “A man is poor for one reason and one reason only- he does not have money. If you want to get rid of poverty, you give people money.” It’s a clear way to rid of poverty, exactly how he stated “you give people money,” (Carmichael).…
