Recommended: Grief case study

Once again my family and I were back in the cold gloomy hospital. My grandfather just had a severe heart attack. When the doctors finally let us go back to see him I was as happy as a puppy with a new ball. I wanted to give him a hug and tell him I loved him. After a couple of hours my mom took my sister and I outside to talk to us. She told us our grandfather needed surgery to live longer, but then she said something that I did not want to hear. She said he had talked to her about not wanting to have the surgery, that he was tired of hurting. She told us we needed to spend the rest of the time we had with him doing the things we loved like playing softball and watching movies together. I was not happy about this and I was not going to let him go, so when we got back in the room with him I walked up to his bed and told him I could not let him go, he needed to stay here, and watch my sister and I grow up, and watch us become better softball players. I then gave him the biggest hug I could and told him I loved him. Like in the book The Monster Calls the little boy did not want to let...

  • Monter Inc. Movie

    678 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout the length of the movie, I was taken back to my childhood when there were monsters in my own closet. Over the years, the monsters have all died and been replaced by just as scary skeletons, so my closet is still full. However, to a young child monsters are still lurking in the shadows, and they still make the floor creak. The approach taken by the writers of this film is one of uniqueness and of originality. By successfully juxtaposing the situation between monster and child, the writers were able to confront a touchy subject head on. This was reached through a combination of differences represented by the monsters in the movie and between the child’s impression of monsters in real life. We all know that in real life, to a child, monsters can be very real, intimidating, and extremely terrifying. The monsters in the movie are shown to be emotional creatures, with feelings and concerns. Appropriately enough, the largest monster named Sullivan is best friends with one of the smallest monsters named Mike. Sullivan the bear, being the largest and scariest of monsters, turns out to be the one with the largest heart and concern for the well being of a small human girl he names Boo. The movie also shows us that the monsters are actually at work, earning money. Not only are they at work, but they also have a society, relationships, and an apparent chain of leadership and authority. To top it off, the monsters are more s...

    Respect the Project We were given the choice to either read Never Let Me Go or to start a class project that dealt with a pressing issue in society.

As a result, a plan with an organized proposal that would help accomplish this objective was developed. We planned to broadcast two informative videos on the bystander effect and the methods to overcome it, which includes preventing the diffusion of responsibility to act.

    Kazuo Ishiguro uses the setting of Never Let Me Go to reinforce the major ideas within the novel. To reinforce the sense of freedom Ishiguro uses driving to show that although the students of Hailsham and the cottages are now free that’s not how life has always been. Driving is shown as a time for Kathy to physically and mentally roam free, to think about the ups and downs of her life, the things that she has regretted and in a heartbeat, would do-over again. The students of Hailsham are free to wander the grounds but not leave, this is where the setting and sense of freedom within Hailsham come in to play, the perception that if they did leave and entered the forest it was practically suicide, “Once, not so long before we all got to Hailsham,

    William Shakespeare is a famous writer who wrote many plays. Most people would concur he is the greatest writer of all time. His plays fall under the categories of histories, comedies, and tragedies. Troilus and Cressida is a tragedy, but many would say it is not because Troilus does not die.

  • On the Death of My Mother

    1012 Words  | 3 Pages

    It was June 6, 2011. I remember taking my mother to the County Hospital’s emergency room. She seemed extremely exhausted; her eyes were half-closed and yellow, and she placed her elbow on the armchair, resting her head on her palm. I remember it was crowded and the wait was long, so she wanted to leave. I was the only one there with her, but I did not allow her to convince me to take her home. I told her in Spanish, “Mom, let’s wait so that we can get this over with and know what’s going on with you. You’ll see everything is okay, and we’ll go home later on.” I wish then and now that would have been the case. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with colon cancer that had spread to many parts of her body including her lungs and kidneys. The doctor said to me not considering that I was a minor and my mother’s daughter, “Her disease is very advanced and we don’t think she will live longer than a year.” With this devastating news, I did not know what to do. I thought to myself that perhaps I should cry, or try to forget and take care of her as best I could and make her laugh to ease her pain.

    February twenty-third 2010 was just a regular ordinary day. I was on my way to class on this cold February afternoon, when my phone rung. It was my cousin on the other end telling me to call my mom. I could not figure out what was wrong, so I quickly said okay and I hung up and called my mom. When my mom answered the phone I told her the message but I said I do not know what is wrong. My mom was at work and could not call right away, so I took the effort to call my cousin back to see what was going on. She told me that our uncle was in the hospital and that it did not look good. Starting to tear up I pull over in a fast food restaurant parking lot to listen to more to what my cousin had to say. She then tells me to tell my mom to get to the hospital as quickly as possible as if it may be the last time to see her older brother.
