    Whenever a novel undergoes an adaptation into a film, the film writers (and possibly the novelist) make suitable changes to better adapt the film, which possibly includes changes in characterization, events and themes. With A Lesson Before Dying, both the film and the book portray a conflict between Grant Wiggins, the protagonist, and Reverend Ambroise about religion, the community and Jefferson, however, the book provides a more in-depth layer to the conflict. In the novel, not only does Ambroise besiege Grant about his atheism, but also asserts his dominance and his power as a reverend; Ambroise flaunts his authority, because he believes that Grant threatens his power when Grant actually does not care about Ambroise’s power. For the movie, however, Ambroise instead focuses more on Grant’s atheism and his devotion towards saving Jefferson’s soul.…

    The claim of Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by author Susannah Cahalan is that even ruthless illnesses can be overcome. This is shown when a nurse asks her mother “Has she always been so slow?”(Ch 24 pg 120); when her therapist questions how she’s feeling, “‘I'll ask you again. How do you feel out of 100?’… ‘100,’… My mom finally agreed with my own assessment.”…

    In Europe, the 1700’s was a different time than present day America in which Marie Le Prince de Beaumont’s and Disney’s version of the text of Beauty and the Beast was written and made. To begin with, Europe in the 1700’s was very religion based, meaning that God always came first no matter the situation and has been a dominant thought in shaping the future for Europe. The order of priorities in that time in Europe was God, the Monarchy or royal family, and then comes the rest of a person’s priorities. A monarchy always has a royal family in which there is a king or queen, princes and princesses and they do little to no work while the poor did all the work. In preset day in America, there are no monarchies in a democracy and the harder a person works in life then the better off that person will be in succeeding.…

    Rose has her first breakdown when she is 15 years old and proceeds to run off into the woods by herself. Rose’s mother hears about the incident and states to her husband, “What’s there to say? David, she’s going crazy. She doesn’t need a heart-to-heart talk with Mom, she needs a hospital” (1). Rose’s mother is already labeling her daughter as crazy and says that she doesn’t need the love of a mother but to be put in a hospital, and this is the automatic incorrect response to mental illness. Most people believe that putting the affected person in a hospital and letting someone else deal with them is the answer but this seems to be the issue, as shown in this short story.…

    Medically dealing with deviance justifies certain intrusive procedures to be performed on individuals not only in the name of "treatment" but also in the interests of the common good. When health professionals attempt to eradicate a disease or a bothersome social behaviour, we all supposedly benefit. Mental illness is ‘a state of mind which affects the persons thinking, perceiving, emotion or judgement to the extent that she or he requires care or medical treatment in her or his interest or in the interest of other persons’.

    The woman in the short story justifiably believed her treatment was not right when she stated, “Personally, I disagree with their ideas. Personally, I believe that congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me good…. I sometimes fancy that in my condition if I had less opposition and more society and stimulus…” (76). The woman was right in doubting her treatment, because, according to Tillman, Taylor stated – during this time period – that mentally ill patients went through “poorly kept facilities with minimally trained attendants” (134). Therefore, her physician himself was most likely incapable of diagnosing her correctly, nonetheless, treating her correctly either. One thing Taylor also describes is the failure in the system of psychiatric hospitals, explaining that, “Dependency is thought to be the enemy of recovery in this system, which devalues human relationships, social connections, and the fact that treatment takes time” (Tillman 136). As it was illustrated in the short story – in the evidence above – when the woman complained about needing more society and stimulus, it had been revealed that she was not receiving this type of treatment that she needed. By the way the woman had described her day to day activities, she was completely being…

He is assigned the job of the Receiver of Memory and goes through great amounts of pain and happiness during his training. Pleasantville is about David and his sister Jennifer who goes into their TV to a show called Pleasantville. This town is supposedly peaceful and pleasant. Although The Giver and Pleasantville are both about perfect societies, their characters, setting and the symbolism establishing their greater involvement.…

    One of the most famous plays ever to hit Broadway, “The Phantom of the Opera” written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, is a classic that no one can deny to be amazing. Its brilliant plot of a distorted musical genius that haunts an opera house in Paris and unconsciously helps a beautiful woman with her singing career and falls in love with her can seize anyone who watches it. Also, the dazzling music and setting launch the audience back into the time in which this incredible play takes place. But now a new version of this wonderful play has been created in the form of a movie that gives it a bit more spunk and pulls the audience, even more, into a grueling love triangle between a beautiful young actress and two men who would fight to the death for her affection.…

    Before delving further into this subject, it is important to understand the definition of mental illness. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Poland, 265) each of the Mental Disorders is conceptualized as a clinically significant behavioural or psychological syndrome (or pattern) that occurs in an individual and that is associated with present distress (e.g. a painful symptom) or disability (i.e. impairment in one or more important areas of functioning) or with a significantly increased risk of suffering death, pain, disability, or an important loss of freedom. In addition, this syndrome (or pattern) must not be merely an expectable and culturally sanctioned response to a particular event (for example, the death of a loved one). Whatever the original causes of…
