    Dr. Bath entered New York’s Hunter College, where she studied chemistry and physics. In 1964, she earned her B.A from Hunter. After that, Bath attended Howard University, where she started medical school. In 1968, she received her M.D then returned to New York.

Now studied and practiced worldwide, Bath developed a new discipline known as Community Ophthalmology because of her documenting the blindness among the two different races.…

    Platonic Love Ap Language

    From birth to death, we are constantly striving to find the golden rule of a successful rapport with everybody, the people we come across in this world. To put it simply, it is the relationships, the way in which two or more people or things are connected, or the state of being connected. It can be a state of being connected by blood or marriage – the emotional closeness of familial love; the way in which two or more people or groups regard and behave towards each other – the platonic love that defines friendship, the profound oneness or devotion of religious love; or, an emotional and sexual association between two people – the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love or the sexual love of Eros. Somehow, these relationships involve…

    Oliver Sacks

    In the case study of John Hull, Sacks talks about how this author goes completely blind by age forty eight yet is still able to train his mind and brain to both run each other even without their vision by learning to compensate. Sacks believes that Hull is a great example of how an individual deprived of one form of perception could totally reshape himself to a new identity. In Hull’s case his brain signals were fine but it wasn’t registering in his mind so in the end he lost complete remembrance of sight even though he retained sight for his first thirty eight years. This intensity of being from this world means the “blindness now becomes for him ‘a dark, paradoxical gift’ ” and Sacks even calls it a “a new focus, a new freedom” (304). Here both Hull’s mind and brain are running each other and hence are able to compensate for his lack of vision. The paradoxical gift refers to Hull gaining the ability to shift his attention to his other senses. His new freedom is the direct result of him losing sight. He is able to use his mind to write deeper and overall becomes…

    Runaway Love

    Coming from unstable homes, violent environments, and regularly abused, kids along with teenagers think the best solution to solving their problems is running away. They would do almost anything to out, often harming themselves in the process. “Runaway Love” written in 2007 by Ludacris featuring Mary J Blige represents the theme of struggle and displays the effects of apathy on kids (girls). It is about little girls, ranging from nine to eleven year olds, who are “stuck up in the world all alone”. They are forced to take care of themselves because their own family member does not care for them. The purpose of this song is that Ludacris is trying to get his auditors to understand that children go through struggles just like adults. Girls that young of an age should be relishing their childhood, but they are forced to take on the roles of an adult and manage on their own.…

    In Hemmingway's novella, The Old Man and The Sea, love is displayed in an unusual way through the protagonist, Santiago.

    The Gift of Reading: the Louis Braille Story

    On a cold, snowy January day in 1809, in the little French town of Coupvray, a child was born. In a little stone house, the local harness maker, Simon René Braille, his wife Monique, and their growing family welcomed their fourth son, Louis ("Duxbury Systems -- Louis Braille and the Braille system". (n.d.). para. 2). Louis loved visiting his father in his harness making shop and often played there while his father set about his daily chores. As Simon was the only harness maker in town, he was a busy man. It was difficult to keep track of the bright, inquisitive little Louis and often the child was left to his own devices. Ultimately, this inquisitiveness would lead to changing the young boy 's life. Intrigued by the day to day business in his father’s harness shop, Louis often stood by to watch his father work leather into harnesses in his blacksmith’s shop. At the age of three, Louis decided to try his own hand at his father’s craft. Such tools were not appropriate for a child of three. During his amateur attempt, Louis stabbed himself in the eye with a sharp tool, rendering him blind. His family sought out medical help, but in 1812, medical resources were rather primitive. Despite the best medicine available, the child developed an infection in his wound. Soon thereafter, the infection…
