When individuals face obstacles in life, there is often two ways to respond to those hardships: some people choose to escape from the reality and live in an illusive world. Others choose to fight against the adversities and find a solution to solve the problems. These two ways may lead the individuals to a whole new perception. Those people who decide to escape may find themselves trapped into a worse or even disastrous situation and eventually lose all of their perceptions and hops to the world, and those who choose to fight against the obstacles may find themselves a good solution to the tragic world and turn their hopelessness into hopes. Margaret Laurence in her short story Horses of the Night discusses the idea of how individual’s responses

There are two kinds of people in the world, lambs and tigers. The lambs are the young and inexperienced, they have no greater knowledge of the harmful world around them, nor do they obtain any knowledge of true evil. Just like the animal itself, cute, calm, peaceful and non-violent. The tigers on the other hand have witness and experienced the horrors of the world around them; they have lived through horrors and hardships that have caused them to evolve from lambs to tigers. The times are tough in the time period of William Blake. In these two groups, the people are classified by either a lamb or a tiger. William Blake wrote two poems in his life; one called “The Lamb” the other call, “The Tyger.” These two poems were classified into two groups, one call the Songs of Innocence, the other call the Songs of Experience. The poem, “The Lamb” fits into Songs of Innocence due it is simplistic views and easy language, while the poem, “The Tyger” fits into Songs of Experience due to is tone and fear.
Chamomile is one of the most ancient medicinal herbs used today. It is a member of the Asteraceae/Compositae family and comes in two different forms- German Chamomile and Roman Chamomile. Historically, the origin of the name Chamomile can from the Greeks who first noted that the smell resembled that of apples and therefore named it “ground apples.” What gives Chamomile its medicinal properties are its dried flowers, which contain terpenoids and flavonoids (lipids and pigment of the plant). In addition, oils of Chamomile are also used in cosmetics and aromatherapy with a distinct smell. Some traditional uses of Chamomile include: anti-spasmodic and sedative use for gastric disturbances and rheumatoid arthritis, treating parasitic worm infections, a skin wash for ulcers or any skin conditions, and lastly having anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties to treat certain health conditions such as colic, cystitis, fever, flatulence and vomiting.

Native to what is now modern day Europe, the earliest discovery of Humulus Lupulus recorded goes back as far as 75 to 80 AD. Although discovery was around this time frame, the use of hops for anything important was put off many decades. Up until this point the hop plant was just observed at it grew in the wild.

When a wound is determined as non-healable, as described by Sibbald et al (1), it should not be treated with a moist treatment and should be kept dry in order to reduce the risk of infection that would compromise the limb. It is also important to consider the patient 's preferences and try to control his pain, his discomfort in activities of daily living and the odour that their wound may produce. In this case, special attention must be given to infection prevention and control. Some charcoal dressing would be interesting in the care of our non-healable wounds at St. Mary 's Hospital.
“The Lamb” starts with an innocent directness and a natural world with no visible signs of adults.
