Symbolism In Nirvana

Dickinson’s use of repetition and onomatopoeia helps show just how mad the narrator really is. It is stated,” Kept beating-beating- till I thought my mind was going numb”. The narrator is hearing noises that aren’t really there like the “beating” of a drum which supports the idea she is crazy. The first person point of view helps show that apparent funeral that is taking place inside of her mind. She states,” I felt a funeral, in my Brain…

As the camera zoomed in onto a sad little girl after the loss of her sister, I realized that the documentary, Burzynski: Cancer is Serious Business would be a difficult film to watch. Movies that depict dying children are often full of drama and heartache and this was no different. I was appalled at the treatment of these poor innocent patients and their families, and the movie had just begun. As I continued to watch the movie; however, my opinion changed from outrage that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would be so corrupt and unjust, to realizing that maybe the movie was playing with my emotions. Although effective in using good rhetorical strategies, the viewer must separate emotion and drama from lack of evidence and

Mortality is the orphaned offspring of human existence. Haunting one’s daily actions, it lurks in the shadows, the close calls, and in one other unexpected place- one’s body. In her memoir, Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness, reporter Susannah Cahalan recounts her body’s betrayal and its aftermath, painting a devastating and hopeful portrait of her condition. Enthralling and terrifying, Susannah’s report of her survival is a must-read. Quite novel in its subject matter, Brain on Fire:

The imagery of the ‘sour air’ encompassing her represents a miasma of rejection from society, who pressure her to conform to a single way of life. Whilst some say that looking through a Bell Jar gives her a distorted perception of society and the pressure she receives is a fiction of her own imagination, one must look only at her relationship with her mother to realize she is victimized by her harsh society. In specific it reminds us of the toxic environment set up by her mother who tells her "I knew you'd decide to be all right again". It’s shocking to the reader who is able to sympathize with Esther’s clear internal struggles, yet her own mother sees it only as a nuisance. The extended metaphor within this novel and the fragmentary structure we so often see in Plath’s work presents the depth of mental disorder but more importantly brings a harsh light to the society that never understood or even tried

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is evident through the characters of Bride, Sheila and Redgum as a physical manifestation of the trials and tribulations that they experienced within war. Through the use of the David Jones Food Hall and the “Channel Seven Chopper:” we can see that all of the individuals are haunted by their past with Bridie expressing “ … but my heart began to pound with terror. Just hearing the language was enough to do it.” However, Bridie is about to find closure with this situation because she is able to talk about what happened and is able to receive sympathy from Sheila; thus tightening their strained relationship, and “And why the Channel Seven chopper chills me to my

I wake up in the recovery room with blurred white lights that blind me like the sun. Nurses run everywhere but I close my eyes because the pain is intense. It is in my eyes, it is in my ears, it is deep inside my head. It burns like a raging fire and the flames spread through my head. “It hurts so bad mom” I cry.

Beneficence the action that protects and prevents harm of others and improves their situation (Pantilat, 2008). By changing the code status of this resident with treatment that is futile can improve the resident’s situation. The health care providers can concentrate on pain control and comfort management verses forcing treatment on the resident that will not improve their situation or relieve their suffering. Giving CPR and breaking her ribs to an actively dying resident could be considered doing physical harm which does not not result in improving the resident’s condition. Fidelity is loyalty, fairness, truthfulness, advocacy, and dedication to our patients.

Nurse’s options may include not to report the event, notify the supervisor, or call child care services. If the nurse chooses not to do anything and keep the matter confidential she faces the potential of being legally responsible for her action. In the case that she chooses to tell her supervisor, she may get support from him/her and realize that reporting the incident is the right thing to do. In case that her supervisor tells her not to report the case the nurse still has the legal obligation to report it. Calling the child care services without a delay may help Lora find the safest place for the time being and avoid returning home to her abusive father.

O’Connor’s depiction of the wooden leg in the story is a mild comparison to the amputation of her very soul threatened by imminent death relating to Lupus. To O’Connor her life became ugly and she voiced this matter of fact to Langkjaer in her comments about a self portrait that she had painted that was not flattering or attractive. Just as Hulga was highly educated, Flannery did know that she had high intelligence though she couldn’t spell and wasn’t good at Math. When her once last chance at love before her death was gone, it sparked emotions that had to quickly be dealt with and so O'Connor penned her masterpiece about her pain, her broken heart, her broken spirit and broken soul. Through this experience of loss of love and her imminent decline fo her life to Lupus, the author wrote a story to cleanse her healthy mind of pain and sorrow.

Miss Chanwalee Srisukho, the representative for The Medical Council of Thailand warned the Thai graduates. She mentioned that the patients, ranging from judges, prosecutors, lawyers, or even relatives of singers who give birth at hospitals, should be treated with care. Through her message, it was implied that doctors are being sued more than ever. Furthermore, her message is especially aimed toward obstetricians and gynaecologists whom medical malpractice lawsuits are frequent. Chanwalee then ended her speech, claiming that the current situation is ruining the medical industry as almost all of the doctors are frightened to be sued.
