My Scar
I have a physical scar. If someone wants to know how I got that scar, I will tell my story about it. Two years ago in 2013, I was pregnant with my second child in January. I had really bad pregnancy sickness. During my pregnancy I went to the emergency room two times because of dehydration. At my eighteenth week ultra sound, the Doctor told me that I have a baby girl. My oldest child is a girl, too. I was so happy about the good news because I love girls. My husband also preferred having a baby girl. My due date was October ninth, 2013, and my abdomen was growing bigger.
The accident happened so suddenly. On June twenty-fourth, on my twenty-fourth week and five days gestation, I had a heavy bleeding in that morning without any pain.
Scars are normally defined as an embedded mark left upon someone’s skin. On the other hand, they can also be invisible because they are internal. These impairments can be both unintentionally and intentionally created. They impact the lives of people and significantly change their perceptions, characteristics, and way of life because they are permanent. Even though they may fade with time, the mark remains forever. Throughout The Kite Runner, Hoessini explores the scars left upon Amir through characters
Satrapi torture is one of the major themes in the book. Both physical torture and psychological torture is expressed throughout the book. The purpose of torture is to try to get information from someone or just to feel that you have power over an individual.Torture can be used in many approaches such as in interrogations to try to pressure someone to confess.

resort to prostitution out of desperation. The unfortunate popularity of teen prostitution has led to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, physical and emotional scars and health problems in the lives of these teens. The dark side to the world of prostitution holds a no-win situation for most teens. Years filled with the scars left by suicide attempts, physical and mental abuse and the longing to get out of the spiraling web of this dark and lonely world. For most there are few answers, but for
naturally where scar formation was common. However, times have changed and people are more concerned with their physical looks than they were two decades ago. The rise in plastic surgery operations is a clear indication of this increase in physical awareness. This change has led to medical research aimed at discovering ways in which wounds after treatment can be made to heal without forming scars. Medically, there are two main types of scars; keloid scars and hypertrophic scars (Avocet, 2011). Keloid
In the 1890’s till the early 60’s, people of color were segregated. They were treated as if they did not have a value and were not worth much, for this reason they and due to the Jim Crow laws they believed they did not have a voice. Therefore, in order to express these emotions they had to find alternative and nonviolent ways; such as poetry. For instance, in “Sympathy”, written by Paul Laurence Dunbar as well as “Caged Bird” by Maya Angelou's, both birds represent colored people trying to stop
1910, I was not raised by my aboriginal mother and for this I have suffered. Right throughout my life I have been victim to abuse. When I discuss in detail these abuses to my non-aboriginal colleagues, to friends and to counselors, many of them are taken aback. Comenting on their inability to understand the depth, the extent of the trauma I have suffered from. Unfortunatley, my story is not unique. So many aboriginal people suffer the exact same. To the world I am a regular human being, but, I oftern
but it was not threat to their parents or my parents because at that time nothing like homosexuality existed or nothing like a third gender existed. Furthermore, since I have a vagina, I kind of assumed that I had to end up with a man because that was what everyone in my culture did, they ended up with the opposite sex, despite if they dressed like guys or not. It never occurred to me how many of my friends were intersex in Nigeria because it was never spoken of in Nigeria. This made me realize that
This was my dad’s idea. I was pretty against the whole thing, but I decided to give it a try; it wouldn’t hurt to try, would it? Ever since I was young I have had scars on my face from a severe case of chicken pox. The doctors worried that my face would be scarred much worse than it is. They gave my parents two options—sand my skin down to create smooth skin which could potentially cause worse scars and redness in cold temperatures, or do nothing and hope that the scars would disappear over time
The post war impacts of the “war of brothers” was vastly different in the North and South. The North had very little physical damage to repair, as most of the battles were fought below the Mason Dixon line. Even the impact of men not returning to their northern families was significantly less when compared to the loss of family members in the south. But whether fathers and sons were killed fighting for the north or the south, families needed rebuilding. Family homes were often caught in the middle
longest Easter speeches to be heard that day… I can tell they admire my dress, but it is my spirit, bordering on sassiness (womanishness), they secretly applaud” (Walker 43). Walker enjoyed showing off her ability to say her speech naturally and she even said, “It was great fun being cute” (43). Alice Walker’s abilities gave her confidence and made her feel “beautiful.”
limited to physical suffering. The Infliction of Pain is something that most people don’t think of unless it has happened to them personally. People don’t think about the kinds of Pain or the different ways pain can be administered. There are two different ways that pain can be dealt there is Physical pain and Emotional or Mental pain. There are many sub categories to these main subjects of pain. What people don’t understand is that there is a major difference between Emotional and Physical pain because
bruises of the heart linger forever; these bruises cannot heal as the bruise on the skin does. Emotional abuse does more harm to the heart that physical abuse does (Stosny, 2008). Mentally it will kill one inside, with fear from the heart all the way to the brain, you are affected in so many ways.Yes, physical abuse leaves bruises on the surface and scars in the heart, yet once they heal it seems to get easier to handle and deal with. Once words are spoken, they cannot be taken back, they will cut

Within the debate of whether graffiti and tagging contributes to the art of the scape of a city, or if it merely adds to the pollution, both perspectives have merit. Ultimately, there will be a prevalent set of groups that believe strongly that graffiti or tagging constitutes vandalism, even though graffiti can be regulated such that it actually becomes its own art form that contributes to a city’s identity. However, this debate as a whole, as Alain Milon asserts, is the result of media’s dilution
