She was always around and was my teacher because I was homeschooled,” Kate said.

The only person she had to hang around during her home school hours was her mother, since all her other siblings were all going to school outside their home.

    Whenever someone asks me where I work, I say “The Stranahan Arboretum.” Almost always, they respond with something along the lines of “Wow how did you score that job” or “That must be a very peaceful job.” These assumptions could not be further from the truth. The Stranahan Arboretum is beautiful park owned and ran by the University of Toledo. It is roughly forty seven acres and home to many deer and various bird species. Also, it has a small pond, wooded areas, a river, and a gorgeous assortment of various trees. The arboretum is quiet and surely a peaceful place to go for a walk or have a picnic, but certainly not to work.…

    To begin with, Kate Morrison is plagued by the guilt of her bother, Matt’s broken dreams. As a consequence, the guilt causes many emotional problems in her life. For instance, the constant mental pressures of guilt causes Kate’s “crisis” during one of her zoology lectures. “Because if things had turned out differently, it would have been Matt standing in front of them” (Lawson, pg. 200). During a lecture, Kate has a flashback about a childhood visit to the ponds with Matt. It is clear that Kate feels guilty for leaving Matt, who was her idol as well as her brother, behind. He taught her not only to see nature but to observe and understand it; and Kate feels that it is injustice that she should be teaching others when Matt taught her “everything” she knows. Furthermore, Katie is always in an emotional battle with her own mind due to the guilt she felt for Matt’s situation. “I had betrayed him, that was how I felt” (Lawson, pg. 201). Even though she knows Matt had caused his own demise, deep inside her mind, she feels that it was her own fault. This feeling causes her to fight with herself. Her situation shows that Kate could never come to terms with what had happened to her family and what had become of the Morrison dream. Finally, Kate’s guilt causes her to lose communication with Matt, which hurts their relationship. “What are you actually researching Kate? I don’t think you’ve ever said” (Lawson, pg. 274). It is plainly obvious that Matt is interested in…

One who does not know much about personality and the person-situation controversy may wonder why Tonya’s personality traits are different.

    When you were younger, has anyone asked you what you wanted to be when you got older? Whether it was a teacher, doctor, lawyer, police officer, engineer or even a firefighter, we all have a dream or desire to be and to do great when we get older. Edward E.

    Formal Profiling Essay

    • 638 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Formal profiling is said to be started in 1956 when the New York City police asked help from psychiatrist James Brussel to study crime scene photos and notes of the “mad bomber” George Metesky, who was able to elude the police for 16 years (Winerman, 2004). According to the same article, some of the psychiatrist's judgments were based on psychological ideas and since then, the police has started to confer with the experts in the field to construct profiles of difficult- to- catch lawbreakers. Much of the criminal profiling field developed within the law enforcement community--particularly the FBI (Winerman, 2004). The writing in the American Psychological Association states that the purpose is to help investigators inspect data and records to create a culprit description, what can consist of psychological variables such as personality traits, psychopathologies, and behavior patterns, as well as demographic variables such as age, race or geographic location (2004). Investigators might use profiling to narrow down a field of suspects or figure out how to interrogate a suspect already in custody (Winerman, 2004). Therefore, it has been used as a tool to contribute in catching lawbreakers.…

    His name was "Evan". I didn't know him all that well. We were both eleven years old and riding the school bus home at the end of the day. Suddenly he began to stare, his eyes glazing over and saliva curled at the edge of his mouth. I was witnessing someone have a seizure right in front of my eyes. It was the first time I had ever experienced something this serious in nature; someone's life was at risk. At that moment I noticed that everyone started to back away as if disgusted by the drool coming out of his mouth. I heard kids yelling for the bus driver's help, but she wouldn't do anything, or couldn't do anything for that matter. She just kept driving and said she couldn't help him at the moment.…
