The concept of sleep paralysis is not necessarily a “concept,” it is a reality. I have had this occur to me numerous times for the better part of the past twenty years. What makes this a “concept” is why and how it occurs. I do not believe it is not spoken of enough, and I sincerely believe that more people would be interested in knowing what exactly this condition is. The conditon known as sleep paralysis is defined as the momentary inability to move one's limbs, trunk and head despite being
Sleep Paralysis You are lying in bed taking a much-needed nap. You have had a long day and this little refresher is just what you need. You are slowly becoming awake and aware of what is going around you.

The Theme of Paralysis in The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock " 'I grow old ... I grow old ... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.' What does that mean, Mr. Marlowe?" "Not a bloody thing.

Topic: Sleep Paralysis Opening/Attention: Picture this, you just came back home from a long day of work/school. You are exhausted, you walk upstairs, you wash up, you hit your bedroom, you switch off the lights, you call into bed, you start to fall into slumber when suddenly you become distinctly aware that you can’t move a muscle.

James Joyce viewed Dublin as the capital of paralysis. Joyce was surrounded by the mundane and unromantic reality that was Dublin society in the early 1900’s. On the contrary, the term paralysis can be viewed a s a paradox as it prevents characters from engaging with
ideas of the meaning of "The Dead." Joyce himself said that the idea of paralysis was the intended theme of all the stories in The Dubliners of which "The Dead" is the final story. Of all critical approaches, reader response works best for me. This approach examines the images, symbols, point-of-view, characterization and setting of "The Dead" in such a way as to reveal the theme of paralysis that Joyce intended.

Imagine a fatal disease that you could not see, touch, cure, or hear. This deadliest disease is known as the polio virus. The polio virus causes paralysis of the arms, legs, and chest muscles.

Others could not breathe without the help of machines. This disease caused terror all over the world. People couldn’t figure out how it came about, who

Reflection on My Portfolio Literature has fascinated me from an early age. I was always an extremely active child, yet all I needed to settle down was a good book. The worlds created from the page within my mind were wondrous and amazing. However, I never imagined that I would become an English Literature major in college. Like many others before me, I wasn’t sure what you could do with an English major but teach or write, neither of which I planned on doing. A business or management major
