    Joann Curley Case Study

    Joann Curley was a middle aged woman who appeared to have fallen in love instantly when she met her future husband, Robert Curley. After they married in the summer of 1990, the couple, including her young daughter Angela, moved into her home in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. By all outward appearances they seemed to be the picture perfect family. Robert received a promotion at his job as a foreman for the chemistry laboratory he worked for. As a family it appeared they had a bright future ahead. Everyone was happy and in love, or were they? Soon after, Robert fell ill for the first time in August 1991 and in less than two months he rapidly deteriorated until his death on September 27, 1991. Robert’s sudden death was a shock to everyone including medical staff. At first doctors could not figure out what had caused Robert to become so severely ill. Was this an accidental work related illness, something genetic, or the deliberate acts of something more sinister?…

    Belonging: Protagonist and Consecutive Long Shots

    Both texts highlight the centrality of the main character to interact with other characters. The immediacy of the character of “Ratchet” from “One Flew Over the Cuckoos’s Nest” expostulates the barrier preventing the patients from belonging to each other. The repetition of “The Big Nurse” is a direct reference to Ratched and her interaction with the character of Bromden as she controls the lives of everyone in the ward. “Wouldn’t that be a frightening experience for anyone”. Like “Ratchet”, the illness George is experiencing also symbolises an obstacle that inhibits his ability to form a meaningful relationship with his son. The continuing persistent of George to form a strong bond with his son becomes somewhat tenuous when he discovers his fathers’ terminal illness “So you knew you were dying from the start?”.…

    English 102 Fitction Essay

    In Kate Chopin’s short tale, “The Story of an Hour”, the protagonist Mrs. Mallard seems to ride a rollercoaster of emotions and feelings about her husband, Mr. Mallard’s, death. The story begins by informing us of Mrs. Mallard’s heart condition which leads us to believe that the heart condition will affect the story. Many times in the story we see that Mrs. Mallard does not handle situations in the way most woman did in that time. She doesn’t seem to know how to really feel about the tragic situation of her husbands death. Mrs. Mallard goes through so many changes in such a short period of time that some readers would believe it is the amount of drastic changes that caused her to pass of a heart disease…

    Year Of Wonders Analysis

    It is possible that the plague is merely exacerbating tensions already present with in the village but it does so to an unprecedented degree. Thus, certain individuals of a somewhat antisocial and self-serving bent find their actions and inclinations magnified by the advent of the Plague. Josiah Bont, who is Anna’s abusive father, becomes a gravedigger, willing to pursue homicide as a stimulus to his profits; his wife, Aphra, shamelessly exploits the anxieties of her fellow villagers for monetary gain by pretending to be the ghost of the deceased Anys Gowdie. In what is, perhaps, a less culpable fashion, David Burton seizes the opportunity to advance his own interest at the expense of Merry Wickord, whose family mine has been left open to claim by the death of her parents. Instances such as these suggest that Michael Mompellion’s assertion that “the Plague will make heroes of us all”, however optimistic, is not well founded. Even more strikingly, the readiness of the villagers to turn against Mem and Anys Gowdie, whose service as healers have been much in demand, indicates that the plague deepens the rifts already exists in the community. As Jon Millstone comments, there is a grave danger that the time “will make monsters of us all”. Therefore it is the villagers own nature which acts as the catalyst for further tragic…

    In comparison to the boy’s misconception of Alzheimer’s, his family understands the natural process that is happening to his grandfather.
