In our world today, being different is a good thing. Everyone tells people to be unique from others around us. Even though this might be the case today, the book Delirium, thinks different. The government of their society wants everyone to be cured from the so called disease, love. Lena, the main character, can’t wait to be cured in ninety-nine days but between those days the unexpected happens. She falls in love. The book, Delirium, by Lauren Oliver shows that, sometimes people can make people make decisions you would never choose. Certainly it could be said that the decisions people make for you may not always be bad, that's not always true.

“It Alex doesn’t come I’ll need to generate a plan of my own”(Oliver 422). This shows the theme because she would have never wanted to fall in love with a guy even after she was cured but she did anyways because she loved him. This is important because, if she had never fallen in love with Alex, none of this would have happened and she would have gotten cured without worrying about what Alex is doing and whether he will come to her when she’s being cured. When being connected with other people, they can sometimes make decisions for you that you wouldn’t approve. In the book, Lena and Alex meet each other at their interviews and quickly fall in love. The problem with this is that their society claims love as a disease. He forces her to do many things because they love each other. Especially when they get into a huge argument but Alex wants them to forgive each other. Only because he loves her. The next time you find yourself choosing people's decisions, remind yourself that your decisions could change what they want and end them not knowing what they are going to
Love is powerful and could change a person’s personality. In “The Book of Unknown Americans”, the author Christina Hernriquez tells us the definition of love.

He wants to be a strong man who can protect Maribel. He used to be someone who couldn’t defend himself and he changed because of Maribel.
Jean Thompson’s short story, All Shall Love Me and Despair shows that proves that the feeling of love makes people compromise even if it can be harmful to themselves. When one finds them self constantly questioning every action they do when around a specific person, they may want to reconsider their relationship with that person. I believe this because one should be able to be comfortable, and them self, especially around those that they love. Annie and Scout are a couple who loves each other, but Annie second guesses most of her actions around Scout.

I read a book that I was given a while back. It has been something that I’ve wanted to read but have not found the time. This assignment seemed like the perfect time to open up the book titled “Being Sober” by Doctor Harry Haroutunian. The book is written by a doctor who works in recovery and also is in recovery. I did not know what to expect when I started reading this book. This is the first time I have read a book about recovery that is outside of the AA book or 12 steps book. I have read and know a little bit about addiction but I’ve never taken the time to read a book about getting sober, getting through and living in recovery.

Terminal delirium is a potentially reversible confusional state that occurs in clients nearing death with advanced illnesses. Delirium frequently has a physiologic cause which leads to cognitive impairment (Potter & Perry, 2014). There are many different risk factors related to terminal delirium; ranging from dehydration to metabolic imbalances. If a terminal patient develops the condition, they will start to have behaviours such as restlessness and agitation.

Recently there have been more attempts to educate health care professionals on the symptoms of delirium and more treatments are becoming available.
The things that make one different are the things that cause the world to change and lead to conformity. Uniqueness is a characteristic that is in everyone; no one person is the same. In this way, Equality 7-2521 from Anthem, a novel written by Ayn Rand, conforms to society on his outward actions to keep him safe, but on this inside, his drive for individuality and not being “normal” allows him to discover a tunnel in which he discovers multiple things like electricity. In a similar aspect, I seek to with my mind, as if a moving vehicle, swerve sharply to the opposite direction to avoid indifference and achieve my maximum potential.
Theme is developed throughout the text, by going through all of the things that caused her struggles, and introducing her as a person who seems strong enough to persist and make the most of her situations.

“Community. Identity. Stability.” These three words constitute the planetary motto of the characters of Aldous Huxley’s dystopian fiction Brave New World. (7) Theirs is a carefully structured post-modern society which managed to overcome political and social unrest through genetic engineering, strict social conventions, exhaustive conditioning, hypnosis and dependency on a drug called soma. In order for the stability of this world to be achieved, inhabitants are stripped of independent thoughts and emotions.

“I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul and to me, this has always been enough.” That is a quote from The Notebook, a famous book written by Nicholas Sparks in 1996. This quotation inspires people to have faith that love is the only thing in the world that they need. They need not have prosperity or fame. They simply need an individual to love with all their hearts for all eternity. The world is a place where love seems to somehow find its way through in the most difficult of times. Nicholas Sparks is a dedicated author, father, husband, and donor who sees that clearly and demonstrates that in his novels. To understand the genuine significance of Nicholas Sparks and his novels, one must know his background, the truth about what the critics think about his novels and his influence on today’s society.
