The motive of IMR is to distinguish CBI/CBR individuality from CB conceptuality. CM analogising generalities may serve to subvert the subject image of thought within CB narratives causing CBIs to revaluate CBR disposition. CMI affect establishes an affinity through humour to circumscribe, diffuse, and transcend subjectifying motifs. IMR deconstructs objective premises and transvaluates subjective modes of representation. The efforts to displace CBI aggression with CMI affinitized humour simulates a ’decolonial’ reductionism. IMR disrupts the crystallising process of CB narrative constructs whereby allowing CBR subjective senses to form anew; the CBI’s refractive image apertures the chrysalis (4.1). The method disenfranchises the power of power …show more content…
The IMR technique works to declassify, decolonise, and de-subjectify CBI and CBR self-conception. IMR inverses the objective of narrative thereby reconfiguring subjectivity to metamorphose a new beginning for the individual story. IMR is a diametric operation between the ’would be’ author and ’to be’ authored. In practice, CBRs discover a greater sense of CBIs and self-relation. CBI witness a new form in themselves and CBR conception. The result is a CBR and CBI ’un-becoming’from the metaphoric into the metamorphic. The image of reality becomes the thought of unreality. CBRs, in turn, de-subjectify CBI psyche of colonising thoughts perverting self-relation within self-resentment. CBRs debilitate subjective impositions wherein CBIs recognise the logical confines of CB narrative underpinnings. That is, IMR dismantles constricting images and liberates youth from power’s colonising thrall over of the will. As IMR promotes empathy, the method enables the subjective chrysalis to metamorphose from crystallising narrative conditions—humour serves to make the prison of logic into the crib of …show more content…
CBR using IMR may disarm CBI narrative discipline and disqualify subjective punishment. CMI in response to CBI, allows for an affective dimension to address CB within and beyond educational settings. IMR transforms CB scenarios into a didactic setting to extract CBI self-awareness from CB narratives. CBR self-reliant IMR can be an effective method to sterilise CB cultures—CBRs are the first point of contact to enrich CBI self-awareness and reconfigure self-deprivation. The aim is to enhance CBR self-awareness by recognising CBI as symptomatic of mental health agitants. CBRs will embody vanguards when associating CBI with mental health. Such individuals whom ameliorate the agitants of CB psyches before it may further infect via viral transmission. In effect, IMR is innately empathetic by attempting to mitigate CBI dysphoric emotions. IMR generates CB remediation by evoking self-awareness in the CBI’s cognizance to register the ’other’ in memage. IMR gives form to what was formless. The only thing greater than ignorance of others is being naive to one’s self. CBIs are a transposed actor who is being authored when s/he writes to author. Unless one frees
In this example Lennon plays with our sympathy, telling stories of how Roberto was one of two hundred prisoners that were trying to get accepted into the college program that only seats twenty three. He ends with a quote from his mother “How you think is how you act”(Lennon 3). This saying by his mother, is comparing the inmates attitudes going into jail and how if educated how they can change when coming out. In this argument by John J. Lennon he uses a variety of pathos, logos and ethos writing methods in order to try and persuade the readers to agree with adding more college courses for inmates. Although the argument is very well written Lennon’s use of egos, pathos and logos are lacking. Which in turn allows the readers to not be persuaded towards his goal of increasing the amount of classes offered in
...echniques employed are persuasive and subtle, and this allows Carr to take advantage of all emotional arguments at his disposal. In conjunction with sources pertinent to the topic, Carr’s emotional appeals seem to get his audience thinking, and from the article it is easy to agree with the points he has made. Carr’s use of logos and pathos does bring into question his ethos, however. Fortunately, Carr’s ethos should not be questioned, as he has written several books and articles on the topic. This does not excuse his bias, but it does permit him to speak on the topic at hand. Carr definitely presents himself as a strong literary figure, and his views on the internet are reasonable as well as relatable. This combination of ethos, pathos, and logos successfully allows Carr to write as an expert in this field, and his article and thoughts are not to be taken lightly.

...ror of Pecola’s first sexual experience: her father rapes her), and a difficult marriage situation (caused by his own drunkenness). The “bads” certainly outweigh the “goods” in his situation. Thus, the reader ought not to feel sympathy for Cholly. But, Morrison presents information about Cholly in such a way that mandates sympathy from her reader. This depiction of Cholly as a man of freedom and the victim of awful happenings is wrong because it evokes sympathy for a man who does not deserve it. He deserves the reader’s hate, but Morrison prevents Cholly covered with a blanket of undeserved, inescapable sympathy. Morrison creates undeserved sympathy from the reader using language and her depiction of Cholly acting within the bounds of his character. This ultimately generates a reader who becomes soft on crime and led by emotions manipulated by the authority of text.
Milan Kundera contends, “A novel that does not discover a hitherto unknown segment of existence is immoral” (3). In this it is seen that the primary utility of the novel lies in its ability to explore an array of possible existences. For these possible existences to tell us something of our actual existence, they need to be populated by living beings that are both as whole, and as flawed, as those in the real world. To achieve this the author must become the object he writes of. J.M. Coetzee states, “there is no limit to the extent to which we can think ourselves into the being of another. There are no bounds to the sympathetic imagination” (35). Through this sympathetic faculty, a writer is able to give flesh, authenticity and a genuine perspective to the imagined. It is only in this manner that the goal of creating living beings may be realized. Anything short of this becomes an exercise in image and in Kundera’s words, produces an immoral novel (3).

CBT offers the client an opportunity to look at the presenting problem from a rational approach and use rational techniques. A therapist conducting CBT will adopt a multi-purpose role of being an active, educator, and encouraging clients to actively participate in the therapeutic process. As mentioned previously, CBT will tend to focus on the clients current functional problem. The processes will intel exploration of the interrelationship between thoughts, feelings, beliefs, attitudes, goals and behaviors. The main premises of CBT are is assumption, that an individual’s emotional reaction is produced by his or her thoughts and beliefs about a particular situation.
Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving is one of the many novels that can be analysed through a Jungian archetypal lens to show how the unconscious projection of archetypal images affects how a person views others people's actions and their behaviours. In this novel the narrator John Wheelwright projects different archetypes onto different people dependant on their role in his life. This shows us how the novel A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving is not objective because as a reader, you see all events and characters though John’s eyes. Everything that you read is tainted by the archetypal images John’s unconscious self which are being projected onto different characters and situations. This leads the reader to the question of how does one know that the story of Owen Meany is true, and that all the characters are portrayed truthfully.
In John Connolly’s novel, The Book of Lost Things, he writes, “for in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be”. Does one’s childhood truly have an effect on the person one someday becomes? In Jeannette Walls’ memoir The Glass Castle and Khaled Hosseini’s novel The Kite Runner, this question is tackled through the recounting of Jeannette and Amir’s childhoods from the perspectives of their older, more developed selves. In the novels, an emphasis is placed on the dynamics of the relationships Jeannette and Amir have with their fathers while growing up, and the effects that these relations have on the people they each become. The environment to which they are both exposed as children is also described, and proves to have an influence on the characteristics of Jeannette and Amir’s adult personalities. Finally, through the journeys of other people in Jeannette and Amir’s lives, it is demonstrated that the sustainment of traumatic experiences as a child also has a large influence on the development of one’s character while become an adult. Therefore, through the analysis of the effects of these factors on various characters’ development, it is proven that the experiences and realities that one endures as a child ultimately shape one’s identity in the future.

In consequence, humanists and existentialists argue that people who mostly receive judgment and criticism for their behaviors are more vulnerable to developing a psychological disorder because they fail to recognize their worth (Comer, 2016, pg. 110). Overall, the humanistic-existential treatment model objective is to change clients’ harsh self-standards as they gain self-awareness and self-acceptance by valuing and giving meaning to their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors (Comer, 2016, pg. 110). The main types of therapy for this model are client-centered therapy, gestalt therapy, and existential therapy. In these type of treatments, practitioners avoid giving personal remarks and their opinions, because they allow the client to control the session by creating a supportive and warm atmosphere in which clients are able to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths while critiquing themselves honestly in an attempt to find their own solutions (Comer, 2016,
..., the use of literary techniques including irony, characterization and theme convey the author’s purpose and enhance Into The Wild. The author accomplished his purpose of telling the true story of Chris McCandless. He was an eccentric, unpredictable man that led a very interesting life. His life deserved a tribute as truthful and respectful as Jon Krakauer’s. Through his use of literary techniques, the author creates an intense, and emotional piece of literature that captures the hearts of most of its readers. Irony, characterization, and theme all play a vital role in the creation of such a renowned work of art. “Sensational…[Krakauer] is such a good reporter that we come as close as we probably ever can to another person’s heart and soul” (Men’s Journal).
Meaning making is an important part of the human experience. We have to be able to explain to ourselves the value of an experience or event and how it fits into our life schema so those experiences that are positive or negative, each require a meaningful explanation to accept as part of ourself. When those explanations which we can call narratives provide for us a foundation and or a path for future growth and development we hold on to it and find ways of using it repetitively in the service of growth. When the narrative does not provide that path or foundation for development, or it takes away the opportunity for growth and development, holding on to it renders the person functionally trapped.
The case would be approached with the notion that a persons' way of thinking affects their feelings and actions regarding any particular situation. Approaching the case from this perspective forms the basis for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The CBT approach allows the individual to develop a positive response to life challenges even though the situation may tend to remain similar. CBT focuses on learning, unlike other psychotherapeutic approaches which rely in abundance on analyzing and exploring individual's relationship with their immediate environment. The therapist’s role in CBT is to guide the patient through a learning process on how to develop and implement new methods of thinking and behaving throughout
