Grey’s Anatomy, a popular television drama shown on ABC, allows viewers to become invested in the lives of the major surgeons at Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital. This show teaches the importance of supportive friends and how to put other people’s lives before one’s own.

Each of the three shows illustrate a sense of friendship and excitement as young adults and high school students figure out who they are in this world while experiencing drama such as parental issues, job issues, and the explosion of hurt feelings between friends. Grey’s Anatomy is a show that is more action packed and emotionally tugging to make the viewers feel as if they are standing in the midst of a hospital environment because of its great acting, setting, and emotionally-investing story line.

Tatiana de Rosnay used different literary tools to assist her writing in order to deepen the story, including figurative language, dramatic irony, and foreshadowing. The use of figurative language helps to clarify a description in order to place an image in the mind of the reader. Similes are the main type of figurative language used throughout Sarah’s Key, allowing the reader to see what is happening. Many images conjured up make comparisons as a child would make them, as much of the story concerns the innocence of a child, such as “[t]he oversized radiators were black with dirt, as scaly as a reptile” (Rosnay 10) and “[t]he bathtub has claws” (Rosnay 11). Other descriptions compare Sarah, and Zoe, to a puppy, a symbol of innocence, as children are known to be
Running for more than 11 seasons, Grey’s Anatomy is never boring. A dramatic, blood pumping (literally) show that will get you saying, “I learned that medical term from Grey’s Anatomy!” Grey’s Anatomy follows a group of doctors in Seattle. We follow the protagonist, Meredith Grey (played by Ellen Pompeo) struggle with her relationship with her colleagues children, and recently (*spoiler alert*) her deceased husband.
Poetry conveys emotions and ideas through words and lines. Long Way Down gives the story about a boy named Will, who wants to avenge his brother. He believes that a guy named Riggs killed his brother. He takes his brother’s gun and leaves his family’s apartment on the eighth floor. On the way down the elevator, he is stopped at each floor and a ghost from his past gets on.
A significant predictor for why audiences choose to watch romance-based reality television is based on the idea that it is entertaining, stimulating, enjoyable, exciting and amusing to the viewer. Based on our assumptions of mood management, we can assume that people are increasingly drawn to positive and pleasurable stimuli. Therefore, having a desire to watch for positive outcomes within the reality show significantly predicts romance-based reality television consumption. As people like to be at a moderately high level of arousal, it is likely that they will find pleasure in contestants falling in love and finding happiness. As a result, we can assume that viewers will care deeply about what happens to these television characters in the future.
Over the past few years the world has became full of atrocious and bloodthirsty people. With social media, it gives the world an anonymous passageway to tear people down and tell them they're not good enough. With all the hate crimes and prejudice concepts, people lose focus on what's truly important. Naomi Shihab Nye portrayed this message through her poem “Shoulders,” which explains that people can't not live in a world without lending a helping hand. People need to help one another and not push people down when they just got up. Without assistance from others, would there really be a human race? This poem expresses the need to help others, through imagery, figurative language, and alliteration.
Meredith Grey, a main character in the television show, Grey’s Anatomy once said, "Surgeons are control freaks. With a scalpel in your hand, you feel unstoppable. There's no fear, there's no pain. You're 10 feet tall and bulletproof.” Dr. Grey said this in the third episode, first season of the hit medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. The ABC series, created by Shonda Rhimes, first aired in 2005, and is in its tenth season, with new episodes on Thursday nights at 9/8 central. The series averaged 16.4 million viewers throughout its first 10 seasons, peaking at 25.41million viewers in the third season. (U.S.) The series concerns several surgical interns and their journey to becoming full-blown surgeons. In the average show, the viewer sees several complicated, unordinary medical cases in which the doctors attempt to save the patients life. The cases are always very dramatic which makes for a great television show. Often times the medical cases will have something to do with the doctors’ personal lives, which are just as dramatic. These connections make the situations seem so real, and make viewer believe that their doctor is just like the one that he or she sees on TV. This blur between what the viewer sees on TV, and his or her real life experiences, is backed up by the Cultivation Theory. (Quick) In the healthcare world, a distortion of reality caused by the viewing of Grey’s Anatomy, has an overall positive impact of real-life patient satisfaction with their real world doctors.

Poetry in the modern world is found most commonly among song lyrics. These song lyrics have different poetic values due to a certain quantity of specific items. This poetic value is called poetic merit; this is the measure of how poetic a poem is. I believe that the song “Rebel Son” by Survivor has a moderate amount of poetic merit because it has a variety of figurative language, detailed imagery, and a clear thematic statement. Figurative language is a key part of any poem.
I have always enjoyed watching science fiction. I started watching Star Wars before I started kindergarten and have been adding more movies and shows to my list of favorites since. Movies, like The Matrix, Star Trek, and Prometheus, that are about traveling across space, learning about new and different places, and saving the world, have always attracted my attention and usually earn my respect as a work of art. So when I first learned about the television show, Doctor Who, I was immediately interested. It has kept my attention and love for three years now, because of what the story offers to me. It is easy to lose yourself in it and be taken away by the possibilities the fictional universe offers. It inspires me to want to travel and see things before I lose the ability, it reminds me what is important in the world and what my priorities, as a human being, should be.
The show makes the viewer be placed at the feet of the character as if they were making the choices.

The tragedy of drug addiction affecting one of the agents has also been played out.
In the show, Meredith shows courage when she performs surgeries on patients that can be risky. If calls have to be made on a surgery, Meredith has to be brave and believe in herself that she is making the right decision. When she is not at the hospital, there are moments where accidents occur and she goes out of her way to help save people. For example, in season 8, Meredith gets in a plane crash with her best friend Christina Yang, her husband Derek Shepherd, her friend Mark Sloan, and her sister Lexie Grey. As a result, of the crash, Lexie, Mark, and Derek get severely injured. Once Meredith found out, she was devastated, but continued to stay strong for her
