  • Three Symbols In O. Henry's Poem

    O. Henry once said, “The true adventurer goes forth aimless and uncalculating to meet and greet unknown fate.” The poem goes a lot a deeper than the words on the page, the items and decisions within it really make you see things differently. Three symbols really stuck out to me; adolescence, sadness, and timelessness.

  • A Journey Towards Becoming a Registered Nurse

    1844 Words  | 4 Pages

    I recall being little and played pretend being a nurse with my sisters and I can remember the huge satisfaction I got by it. Pretending to be a nurse today is something I no longer wish to do and hopefully in a few years I will have the opportunity to call myself a registered nurse. In today’s era, it is obvious that nursing has come a very long way and it is all thanks to the nursing community and advanced technology. Nursing is not an ordinary job that consist of an eight-hour shift, drinking coffee and surfing the web. Nursing is a full-time commitment to the community, the patients, and last but not least to oneself. Nursing is more than taking care of an ill patient. It involves taking care of patients

    According to the article, "Juvenile Literature And The Portrayal Of Developmental Disabilities,” (2009) co-written by Tina Taylor Dyches, Mary Anne Prater, and Melissa Leininger: “Books with characters with disabilities often endorse demeaning attitudes toward individuals with disabilities, equate low intelligence with poor moral character, present positive attitudes but in a preachy way, or compensate for the character’s disability by giving them more of something else” (qtd. in Dryches, Prater & Leininger). These books were for the typical children, not for those with a disability. While the representation of disabilities in children’s books has improved over the years, studies have taken note of the slow moving progress of representation of children’s books. The characters that do have disabilities become one-dimensional figures, diminishing the quality of the literature that is being presented to children. In Santiago Solis’ article, “The Disabilitymaking Factory: Manufacturing ‘Differences’ through Children’s Books” (2015), he explains that many books promote ideas of what is good and what is bad, and in that depiction, things like “good looks, high intelligence” and “physical wholeness” are quantified as normal and good, whereas disabilities are regaled to be “demeaned, stigmatized, ridiculed, feared and degraded”

  • Personal Nursing Education: My Personal Philosophy Of Nursing

    886 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I reflect on my nursing education, I relieved that I have unexpectedly created a set of values and beliefs for myself, otherwise known as my personal nursing philosophy. I believe that the core of nursing is advocacy, knowledge, integrity and caring. The focus of nursing is on patient need and patient health. According to the (American Nurses Association [ANA], 2017), “nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, facilitation of healing, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, groups, communities, and populations.” I believe that nursing is an art allowing the nurse to be competent,

  • A Critical Analysis of Judith Wright's 'the Killer'

    913 Words  | 2 Pages

    The consistent pattern of metrical stresses in this stanza, along with the orderly rhyme scheme, and standard verse structure, reflect the mood of serenity, of humankind in harmony with Nature. It is a fine, hot day, `clear as fire', when the speaker comes to drink at the creek. Birdsong punctuates the still air, like the tinkling of broken glass. However, the term `frail' also suggests vulnerability in the presence of danger, and there are other intimations in this stanza of the drama that is about to unfold. Slithery sibilants, as in the words `glass', `grass' and `moss', hint at the existence of a Serpent in the Garden of Eden. As in a Greek tragedy, the intensity of expression in the poem invokes a proleptic tenseness, as yet unexplained.
