My Smothered Life 2015 has passed, and it seems to have passed in a jiffy. Fresh out of an engineering college in 2014, I thought and probably many like me thought too, that life is going to be fun. After all, we had a B.Tech degree, a job and our confidence and hopes as an added advantage; far better than many others. Well, yeah, isn’t it. ? But hold on, life wasn’t that easy. If you are reading this,” a new blogger’s post”, probably you are an avid reader, or have absolutely nothing to do, or maybe you are someone like me; fresh out from your dream world to reality. Life was copying assignments, bunking lectures, sleeping on the last bench (not to forget the talent to sleep on the first bench with eyes open), crazy dance nights at hostel with friends, love at first sight, friendships, relationships, break-ups, patch-ups, surprise birthday celebrations, birthday treats, one night studies, movies (especially horror movies watched at night in groups on laptops), discussions about novels, music and of course so many series, …show more content…

Weekends are no more about having fun, but doing the laundry, buying the groceries are a bigger concern. Of course, we still go to movies, or trips but that doesn’t hold the same importance now. Life has become more robotic, more programmed; if not for you, it has for me at least (and this place is about me,

In the Freedom Writers Diary, the authors focus on the topic of the reality of what they have to deal with in their everyday world. Their teacher Mrs. Gruwell inspired them throughout their high school years by teaching them that it is possible for each and every one of them to change. They write with an uplifting and hopeful outlook on the world even if it not realistic in their present circumstances. In their writing, they establish an effective use of pathos by writing about their own lives and how they connect to others and us by using the selection of detail, metaphors, and allusions. Through these devices, we come to the idea that even though teenager’s in today’s world are faced with many hardships, they do not have to succumb to them.

Throughout the studies mentioned above, it seems indicated that childhood trauma or abuse causes DID. However, there are a few numbers of researchers who criticized the conventional link between the two; they questioned the studies’ objectivity. The majority of experiments do not seem to support the relationship between the disorder in adulthood and child abuse. Also, during experiments, the researchers do not show control for overlapped conditions of other disorders, not only those of DID, which does not highlight any correlation between child abuse and dissociative disorders.

The author of the novel, Everyday, Mr. David Levithan, gives the readers a genderless, faceless, and virtually nameless protagonist who still manages to be endearing and emotionally resonant.
