The 10 pm Question displays very strong connections to real life issues. It addresses certain things that might not be seen straight away, for example, anxiety. Anxiety is one of the most common mental illnesses, it is a condition that stops people from living a normal healthy life. It can affect the mind and make it almost impossible to do a small, simple task like going on transport, going out in a busy area or even leaving your house for some people. Kate De Goldi describes how anxiety affects Frankie and all his worries that come along with it. Sydney guides Frankie on how to survive whilst going through sadness and move on. Friendship is such a valuable thing to have and the author demonstrates the importance of her writing. These characters …show more content…
Sydney wanted a sad ending for a plot twist as she felt it would be an interesting ending for the book and she has no problem with a sad ending because her own life is filled with sadness from having to leave a lot and readjust. Frankie does not agree with having a sad ending as he feels it would disappoint the readers and he is against sad endings because he’s scared of the thought of a sad ending in his own life. Sydney is used to handling sad endings and says to Frankie, “face facts… it’s easier” (page 211) Frankie admires Sydney’s confident, unworried attitude. He believes she might have “the answer” (page 191). Sydney helps Frankie to learn to face his fears, to accept the possibility of sad endings rather than trying to control everything and being worried all the time. The decision of how to end the book could be a connection to how Frankie and Sydney relate to real life problems and how they are expressing their past experiences and hopes into the book. Frankie might believe that if he can plan the ending for the book happily maybe he will finally get a happy ending. In my opinion, the author is trying to connect nonfiction and fiction by using a disagreement between Frankie and Sydney.
The 10 pm Question shows the importance of friendship and how you can learn from
Friendship is a necessity throughout life whether it is during elementary school or during adulthood. Some friendships may last a while and some may last for a year; it depends on the strength of the bond and trust between the two people. In the novel A Separate Peace by John Knowles, the main characters, Gene and Finny, did not have a pure friendship because it was driven by envy and jealousy, they did not feel the same way towards each other and they did not accurately understand each other.
“One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood” Being a good friend is the best quality a person could have. Friends help you through thick and thin and will always be there for you. Everyone has friends. Whether your friends with a million people or just one person, Friends have made an impact in your life today. In the short story The Wrong Lunch Line by Nicholasa Mohr best friends Yvette and Mildred are faced with difficult challenges based on their religions. Mildred is Jewish and Yvette is not Jewish. As a result, They are separated at lunch because of their different religions. By the end of the story, the girls do not care about what other people think and they decide to stand up for what
friendship that it is so valuable? And, more specifically, how does this truth fit with
According to Sharp (2012), “anxiety disorders are the most widespread causes of distress among individuals seeking treatment from mental health services in the United States” (p359).
Friendship is a bond that brings society together as a whole. The article, “Friendship in an Age of Economics” by Todd May describes six friendships that pertain to life. In the Of Mice and Men excerpt, the reader meets two characters, George and Lennie, and their friendship is shown. Of the six friendships, in “Friendship in an Age of Economics,” the true friendship, developed by Aristotle, is used in Of Mice and Men through George and Lennie’s relationship because of how they act towards each other, and how they take care of one another in many different ways. First, the article introduces the audience to friendships described by Aristotle, and Todd May.
Anxiety is a feeling of tension associated with a sense of threat of danger when the source of the danger is not known. In comparison, fear is a feeling of tension that is associated with a known source of danger. I believe it is normal for us to have some mild anxiety present in our daily lives. Everyday that I can think of I have some kind of anxiety though out that day. Anxiety warns us and enables us to get ready for the ‘fight or flight’ response. However, heightened anxiety is emotionally painful. It disrupts a person's daily functioning.

Friendship is not something that has adapted over time. The desire to seek out and surround ourselves with other human beings, our friends, is in our nature. Philosophers such as Aristotle infer that friendship is a kind of virtue, or implies virtue, and is necessary for living. Nobody would ever choose to live without friends, even if we had all the other good things. The relationship between two very different young boys, Bruno and Shmuel’s in the film The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is an example of the everlasting bond of a perfect friendship based upon the goodness of each other.
Theme: Situations and surroundings can shatter the innocence of friendship, but more the identity of the individuals.
...rspectives and opportunities. It is friendship that has the power to keep a person close to home. And it is friendship that gives a person the support to leave their home.
Muscle aches, trouble concentrating, and being tired all the time, these are some effects that anxiety disorders can have on a person. Jake has been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Just like there are many different causes and different types of disorders, there are also many ways to treat the disorders. Three different types will be explained within this essay. Number one, the humanistic approach, or being able to fulfill a personal potential. Number two, the behavioral view of the change in behaviors, and then the third, the cognitive side, or mental processes. By looking at these specific views, we will define them and see where they believe the causes are formed and the care they can give to help in combating the anxieties of life.
If you have ever been tense before an exam, a date, or a job interview, you have some idea of what anxiety feels like. Increased heart rate, sweating, rapid breathing, a dry mouth, and a sense of dread are common components of anxiety. But episodes of modern anxiety are a normal part of the life for most people. But what anxiety is so intense and long lasting that it impairs a person’s daily functioning is called an anxiety disorder. It is a general term for several disorders that cause apprehension, nervousness, fear, and worrying. These disorders affect how we feel and behave, and they can manifest real physical symptoms. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling, while severe anxiety can be extremely debilitating, having a serious impact on daily life.
Anxiety is defined as a diffuse, internal, loose floating tension that doesn’t have a real danger or an external object. There is also a significant difference from the notion of fear. Fear usually has an outer object (a real fear of a snake, height or an unreal fear, when the danger is just imagined). Anxiety does not have an external object or external danger, but have an internal danger. Internal danger can be some intrapsychic conflict, impulse unacceptable to the ego, suppressed thoughts, etc.
Anxiety: “Now I am wearing this smile I do not believe in! Inside, I feel like screaming!”
There is a fine line between anxiety and depression. A line that is often times blurred. Although there are differences between the two, they also share many similarities, which can lead to false diagnoses for patients. It only gets more complicated when both illnesses are present. For example, The National Institute of Mental Health (2009) did a study of anxiety disorders and found that 53.7% of people reported they also experienced major depression as a secondary condition. These researchers also stated that people who are severely depressed do become anxious. In order to have a better understanding of anxiety and depression one must first clearly define the two conditions, understand the causes, look at the symptoms involved, and review the different treatment options available.
