Eleven seasons, two hundred and forty-one episodes and that wasn’t enough to keep the neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd on Grey’s Anatomy. The slaughter occurred on episode twenty-one of the eleventh season back in April 2015. The episode was called “How to save a life”. To kill him off, Derek got t-boned by a speeding car. After that, he was brought into the hospital and they wouldn’t let the resident doctor do the important test that could’ve saved his life. They then realized he had severe bleeding in his brain and it was too late once the neurosurgeon decided to show up. They shouldn’t have killed off the best character on Grey’s Anatomy also known as Derek Shepherd. They shouldn’t have killed him off because the death was clearly last minute, the ratings have gone downhill and Derek was one of the most important characters. With hope one day Shonda Rhimes will read this and …show more content…

If you're someone who has watched Grey's Anatomy from episode one, you have probably grown to know and love Derek Shepherd. You may also know him as McDreamy and they called him that for a reason. With part of the population of people who watch Grey's Anatomy, Derek was dreamy and the perfect husband. Why would you kill their dreams of having a husband just like Derek? Shonda is saying that perfect husbands don’t last forever they just die thanks to awful surgeons and car accidents. Derek also has a loving wife (Meredith, the main character) and they had the best love story on the show but it is far too long to get into. He has three kids, but Shonda killed him off before he got to meet his third child he so desperately wanted. He has also been through so much on the show. He got shot, his ex-wife came back, he did a clinical trial for Alzheimer's and he survived an airplane crash. Derek could survive all that, but he couldn’t survive a simple car crash. Shonda, he was so important to the show, why would you kill him

  • Holden’s Transition into Adulthood

    843 Words  | 2 Pages

    Childhood is an unusually hard thing to rid yourself of when it is time for you to pass into the intensified life of adults. Personally, I have yet to overcome that challenge. The Catcher in the Rye is a well developed story about a high school boy, Holden Caulfield, who is stuck between the stages of adolescence and adulthood, and is trying to discover his identity. All his life, Holden Caulfield has refused to grow up, and as the book progresses, he is on the fine line of leaving innocence and adolescence behind and passing into adulthood, but what gives him the needed shove into the realm of adulthood was getting over his brother, Allie’s death. To Holden, Allie is the main definition of innocence. Eventually Holden comes to the decision to be the catcher in the rye. After this decision he tries to follow through with his plan and ultimately decides that he can’t keep anyone from growing up. This seems to be his breaking point in the book where he finally overcomes all his negative emotions towards Allie’s death and accepts it for what it is, knowing that he has to move on.

  • Analysis Of Adaptations From Short Story To Big Screen By Stephanie Harrison

    What they do not realize that it can affect them in so many ways but the one that will forever impact them the most is causing family problems. Which in many cases this leads them to lose the most important people in their lives. Not only that but they will regret everything at some point or think everything is fine but in reality it isn’t. For example in “Jerry and Molly and Sam” by Raymond Carver he mentions how Al (main character from his short story) was having an “affair” but “did not want it to go on, and he did not want to break it” (16). In addition Al was already having family problems plus he disliked the fact that the dog was part of their family but wants to get rid of the pet as soon as possible. Among that when he finally gets rid of the dog he regrets everything because he sees how upset his children are and his wife. He later informs to his wife that “Everything’s going to be alright…” (23). This proved that he regretted everything that came in-between his family and didn’t want to lose them. Speaking of not losing his family, in the short story “The Swimmer” by John Cheever is about a man name Neddy Merrill, who takes a last swim all the way to his home (which was about eight blocks from where he started) but to only find out that no one lives there anymore. Not only that but his family left him. In fact Cheever wrote in the

    Othello claims that his guilt impelled him to commit suicide, but before he pleads only to be commemorated with nobility. “Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate, / Nor set down aught in malice: then must you speak / Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought / Perplex’d in the extreme” (v.ii.342-346). Othello solicited to be known as a man so bewildered that he became unaware of his own actions when he accused Desdemona of disloyalty and dispatched of her without mercy. He doesn’t kill himself because of guilt, he kills himself so his legacy will be noble Othello, not as the man who killed his wife for simply hearing a rumor. This shows the audience that he is not sad that he killed his wife.

    Derek would not let such a detail derail him, so he gutted the man to fish out the SIM card, pop it back into the phone and then hit redial, hoping that Penelope and the team would be watching for the signal, which they were. From there, and as Hank helped Derek realize that Savannah was readying to tell him she is pregnant, it was a race against time to see who would find Derek first, his BAU team or the “cleanup” crew member that had been called in. Bad news, it was the bad guys. Derek did his best to fend off the men with a knife, but fell short. Luckily, Reid and the others showed up in time to gun down the soon to be killer and save Derek. Or maybe not, Derek starts to flatline in the ambulance, and things begin looking down, but Hank urges his son to fight on and be the father he needs to and will be. And three days later, Derek comes to in the hospital, where he pours his heart out to, mother-to-be, Savannah and asks her to marry him which she instantly says

  • The Manipulation Of Jealousy In Shakespeare's Othello

    She never truly changes, even after all of the hardships that she faces throughout. Her final words illustrate how powerful and loyal she was. She says to Emilia, “Nobody; I myself. Farewell. Commend me to my kind lord. O farewell” (V, ii, 125-6). Before saying this, Othello strangled and tried to kill Desdemona. He thought that she was dead, but just as Emilia came in, Desdemona said her last few words. Emilia asked her what happened and who had done this to her. And in response, Desdemona said that quote above. Although Othello was the one who killed her, she did not want to expose her husband. She remained loyal to him even after all of the terrible things that he did to her. Desdemona never said anything negative about Othello throughout the play, and did not use animal imagery once. Although not every character was evil, the ones who used animal imagery were truly separated from those who never used
