    A Grief Observed

    In his book, A Grief Observed, C.S. Lewis addresses many physical, psychological, and behavioral dimensions of grief. He describes grief as a sort of fear sensation, with the same breathless unease and unrest in the stomach. It can be easy to see why grief would feel like fear. Both are strong physical as well as psychological emotions that cause great anxiety and tension in the body and mind. C.S. Lewis describes the tearfulness –the un-masculine and often revealing side, one that he says doesn’t always do the memory of a person justice, as well as the tearless side –the one where everyone questions why you aren’t engrossed in sadness. He implies a lack of behavior; a great change in what one wants to do. Simple tasks become very difficult to complete. A grown man more recluse and weary, unable to tackle what once was accomplished in the beginning of a day.…

    Franco Harris: The Best African-American Football Player

    While there are several NJ Hall of Fame members I can identify with, the person that I have the most in common with in terms of personal experience and lifestyle is Franco Harris. Franco Harris was an elite level African-American football player who played running back for the Steelers and Seahawks who was the first African-American to win the Super Bowl MVP award in 1975. Aside from playing football, the reason why I chose Harris because we are both pioneers in a sense. He was one first of the great African American postseason running backs and the first black Super Bowl MVP. I am the first person in my family to play D1 collegiate athletics, which is already a small company as about 2% of high school football players play D1 football.…

    Poem Analysis: Robinson Richard Cory

    Richard Cory is described as a happy guy who ‘had everything,' but he didn't. It speaks to me because people say "pay attention to the signs." But some people are good at masking them, others being oblivious and just not knowing how to pick up on the signs. Saying "It'll get better," or "I understand what you're going through" is one of the worst things that can be said to someone who is struggling with depression or anything else for that matter, because that isn't what someone who is feeling down wants to hear. Because there is no way that we can completely relate or know exactly what they are going through.…

    Russell Williams

    With regards to psychology there are many different theories and perspectives of the human mind however, I will be focusing on Sigmund Freud’s theory of human behavior. Freud believed that “human behaviour is driven by desires and the suppression of the same desires”. Concerning the case of Col. Russell Williams, he was a paraphilic; he stole lingerie and then took photographs of the women he sexually assaulted. According to Freud’s theory of human behavior, Williams did not possess the ability to control his desires. He started off as a “voyeur”, but somehow transformed into a perverted sex offender with a dark fixation for violence. Sigmund Freud compared the mind to an iceberg. Everything we are aware of is just the tip, while our unconscious mind is the majority of the iceberg which remains under the surface. According to Freud the unconscious mind keeps all impulses and “primitive wishes” under control. Colonel Russell Williams started by spying on females, he then began breaking into their homes, stealing pieces of underwear and masturbating on their beds. It is clear to see that Williams’ inner desires were not even remotely normal. “It 's very unusual for a guy who 's got his act together like that ... to all of a sudden start committing crimes at a late age,” said Professor Quinsey of Psychology at Queens University.…
