Surely, this was not her ideal job, although, she noticed how this occupation provided the same self-reward as Adam’s Camp. At Arbors or Bedford, she assisted residents with daily living such as bathing, getting dressed, and other activities. More importantly, what she found fascinating was the resident’s stories about their childhood or memories.

    Tim O’Brien’s novel In the Lake of the Woods perpetually references the preceding atrocities that blemish American history. Within the chapters titled ‘Evidence’, scattered amongst the evidence accumulated for the fictional investigation into Kathy Wade’s disappearance, quotations from characters both authentic and fake exhibit the catalogue of concealed violence embedded in American history. Quotations reference the brutality in the battles of Lexington and Concord where the colonists were “as deplorable as the Indians for scalping and cutting the dead men’s auditory perceivers and nasal perceivers off” (262). Further references contained in the Evidence chapters regarding the Native Americans reiterate the words “exterminate” (260) and verbalize…

The book begins by creating a scenario in which a young boy, brought up in a regular South American society in the early 1800's and goes on to have him fight his way through a complex, internal, moral struggle caused by his love and friendship for a runaway slave. He had to figure out at a weather “right” was defined by what is correct in the eyes of society, or by what he felt was “right” in his heart, and then make a major decision. Huck Finn's inner struggles included; differentiating between religious, governmental, and societal rules which taught to him what is acceptable and what is not from the day of birth,and his own moral instincts. When it came time for huckleberry to make up his mind he took all that he was taught by society and his own ideology in to account and then he declared “Alright then, I’ll go to hell”. This indicated that Huck believed that following his own moral compass was more important than following the moral compass of others, or even G-d for that matter.…

    According to the peer reviewed article “The Cultural Logic of Euthanasia: "Sad Fancying’s" in Herman Melville's "Bartleby"” by Rosemarie Garland Thomson who is a professor at Emory University that focuses on disability studies, she compared Roosevelt Dawson a 20 years old student and Christopher Reeve who is the lead actor for Superman. Both men’s lives and bodies were substantially transformed instantaneously and require them to be assisted by others in daily life task. Rosemarie Garland Thomson states in her article that “Although their impairments rendered their embodied existence substantially the same, Reeve’s story inspires hope, whereas Dawson’s inspires despair. Where Dawson’s disability justified his death, Reeve’s disability galvanizes his life and stirs ours. Dawson’s preference to die and Reeve’s preference to live both seem warranted”. This clearly shows that a lot of different factor contributes to euthanasia in general. Reeve are an actor that has all…

    As a curious child, my love for reading stories led to a lot of my spare time in the school library. At age 12, I read many of the stories in the childrens' Encyclopedia Britannica. Amongst other stories, I read about Florence Nightingale, a lady from high class family who decided to join nursing – a much lower class job in her time. Her story introduced me to a new definition of career and service. I chose nursing as a profession to serve God and in service of fellow human beings in need. I was captivated by Florence Nightingale's vision and insight into the expanding role of nurses to provide holistic care in the health care system.…

    Herman Melville wrote the novel “Billy Budd” during the 19th century. Melville had several experiences at sea taking part in whaling voyages and also joined a crew while trying to get back home. On this voyage home, he and the rest of the ship’s crew were accused of mutiny and thrown in jail for several months. Some of Melville’s personal experiences as a sailor described in the background makes his story more interesting to the reader. In the novel “Billy Budd”, Melville’s usage of foreshadowing keeps the reader intrigued by the words he uses to portray Billy Budd, multiple details surrounding mutiny, and the reference to a serpent.…
