What can I give to save me? ~A Single Moment Of Sincerity Album: Stand Up And Scream Asking Alexandria, a band that started in Dubai actually by lead guitarist Ben Bruce and his friends. They weren’t called Asking Alexandria at first, but they later changed their name to AA and then disbanded. Ben moved back to the U.K and was looking for bandmates where he saw Danny Worsnop’s cover of a song from the band Alesana. Ben contacted Danny and they started the band Asking Alexandria. They recruited other members such as Cameron Liddell (guitarist) and James Cassells (drummer) and finally Sam Bettley (bassist). The gang flew out to the U.S and started looking for a studio and record label – which they found shortly after their arrival. They recorded their first album Stand Up And Scream with producer Joey Sturgis and under the record label Sumerian Records.

...For many ppoems in light of this statement.eople home is defined by the people who live there. Compare and contrast the ways in which home is represented in at least two poems. Many people associate home with the people living in it. So for them home could be anywhere in the world as long as their loved ones are with them. But when that person dies one loses their sense of security and also tends to feel abandoned. In Aunt Julia the poet speaks about her and his loneliness and anger after she passed away and also his childhood memories. He says she used to speak Gaelic but he could never understand her. In the 2nd stanza he says she used to wear men’s boot and her strong feet were stained with peat. By this we can tell that his aunt was a very strong and independent woman .In the 3rd stanza he says that he was the most comfortable in her house and even the sound of crickets at night used to comfort him. In the next stanza her strength is personified through the word “flouncing”. He says “she was buckets and water flouncing into them.” This suggests that she was very lively and energetic. In the 5th stanza we come to know that his aunt has died. He uses words such as “silenced”, “black” and “grave”. He says that he can still hear her voice welcoming her and it sounds like a seagull’s voice. Seagulls have a very homely sound and this tells us her presence made him feel at home. But as he says he still hears her voice even after she’s dead suggests...

...Autobiography of a face-smdep I identity with some aspects of Grealy's memoir. One specific time was when I was in the 3rd grade, I was diagnosed with scoliosis. I had to get this hard plastic brace and was "suppose " to wear it all the time except for when I slept and went to gym class. It was very painful and uncomfortable to be in and it made my clothes look all chunky. In addition, I was afraid to touch people in school. By that I mean I was afraid for people to hug me or accidentally bump into me. I didn't want anyone to know I was a freak. One day this kid Diego decided to punch me....though I do not remember why; he used to make fun of me all the time for various things. But after he punched my stomach, he yelled out in pain because he almost broke his knuckle. Then he looked at me like I was an alien. It was this painful look of disgust. He demanded to know what was under my shirt and when I didn't tell him he tried to raise it. I felt so humiliated and embarrassed. I had that brace for years all the way up till 8th grade, I believe. This is just one incident out of many. There has been many times when I felt i didn't belong; everyone feels that way but each person experiences this differently has has their own story. I also share the narrator's envy of others. I remember growing up sometimes there was no heat...majority of the time actually and once or twice there was no electricity but I still had to go to school with people who complained about their newest phones...

...Analysis of “The Story of an Hour” written by Kate Chopin The story under analysis is written by Kate Chopin. Kate Chopin was an American author of short stories and novels. She wrote for both children and adults. She is considered as a forerunner of feminist author. Unlike many of the feminist writers of her time who were mainly interested in improving the social conditions of women, she looked for an understanding of personal freedom. She put much concentration on women’s lives and their continual struggles to create an identity of their own personality. Her stories were not accepted by the public of that period. Through her stories Kate wrote her own autobiography and documented her surroundings. She is the author of such works as “The Awakening”, “A Night in Arcadie”, “Désirée’s Baby”, “At Fault” and “The story of an Hour”. The action of the “The story of an Hour” takes place in the house of Mr. and Mrs. Mallard, in the middle of 19 century. In a bourgeois family. I’d like to remark that at that time the situation was different from the current state of things in modern world. Women were supposed to obey their husbands, devoting themselves fully to raising a baby and taking care of their house. No time for their personal needs, hobbies, interests and work. Women lived all their lives in the shadow of their husbands. “The story of an Hour” begins with sad news. Mrs. Mallard’s sister Josephine and her husband’s friend Richards try to inform her husband’s death. During the...

...Evaluate the claim that Person-Centred Therapy offers the Therapist all that he/she will need to treat clients. Contents Introduction Carl Rogers. Background and Influences Theoretical Constructs Strengths and Weaknesses Conclusion Notes References Introduction In this essay I will be discussing the viability of Person-Centred Therapy as an exclusive method of treatment for clients. Without an appreciation of this approach it would be difficult to judge the merits of the claim as laid out in the main essay title. Therefore I will begin with an introduction to Carl Rogers, his background and influences. In this essay I will explore the main theoretical constructs. Following on from this I will look at the advantages of this approach and consider its success in treating psychological disorders. Although Carl Rogers inspired many, he was not without his Critics. Therefore I will include the difficulties and doubts expressed by other Practitioners in order to get an opposing viewpoint. I will end with my evaluation of the claim itself and the reasons why I have arrived at my conclusions. Carl Rogers Background and Influences Carl Rogers was born in Illinois, Chicago, in 1902. His parents were middle-class, respectable and hard-working. His Father was a Civil Engineer and his Mother a stay-at-home housewife. Carl was the fourth child in a family of six children. Rogers’...

...Are You S.A.D.? The Truth behind Seasonal Affective Disorder Are you S.A.D.? The truth behind Seasonal Affective Disorder Seasonal affective disorder, also known as Seasonal Depression, winter or summer depression, winter or summer blues, or seasonal mood disorder, is a type of depression that occurs at the same time every year (Lee, S.A.D.). Although the exact cause for the depression has yet to be found, there are many theories that point to the exact same thing. Most of them, have much to do with the factor of the sun. The symptoms of seasonal affective disorder vary from mild depression to suicidal thoughts, with almost everything imaginable in between (Stein, page 2). Although it hasn’t been established what the exact cause of seasonal affective disorder, there is a wide range of theories that exist. Although Seasonal Affective Disorder has roots going all the way back to 1845, it was not officially classified until the psychiatrist Norman E. Rosenthal noticed that a lot of his cases for depression had occurred only during the months of winter(Waltz, page 1). When he published his articles in The Washington Post, he received thousands of letters from people all over the country who had the exact same symptoms that he found with his own patients in his private study. He went on to release the book Winter Blues: Seasonal Affective Disorder: What it is and How to Overcome...

...“A reality check for America” Mary C. Terrell was a powerful pioneer in civil rights and a powerful leader who faced many struggles of prejudices because she was a colored woman. Because she had lived a difficult life in the capital of the US, she decided it was time the world knew of her the many trajectories she continued to face along with many other African Americans. On October 10, 1906, Terrell gave a speech titled, “ What it Mean to be Colored in the Capitol of the U.S.,” to the members of the United Woman’s club in Washington, D.C. This speech was very influential and significant speech that served as a voice for other African Americans who had no voice. This speech also was a time for Terrell to explain the unnecessary hassles she and other blacks had to take on when trying to live as a citizen in the capital. Through this speech we can see an abundance of prejudice that taint the lives of African Americans in the U.S.. In the following paragraphs, I will establish the notability of this speech, analyze the historical context that sparked the discourse into existence and explore other rhetorical features that will establish my analysis’s significance. Mary Church Terrell embodies feminine style rhetoric in her argument to address the social, economic and political struggles placed against African Americans with the undertone of constitutive rhetoric, topical structure, pathos and logos to validate her point.

It is late already” Hebe asked as she was walking out of the shower and saw her husband putting on his jacket. “I need to go finish some things at work,” Arron answered “Can’t you. do it tomorrow?” asked Hebe and then she added, “I will go with you and help you since it will be a Saturday.”She smiled but her smile faded as fast as it had come. “No Hebe, I need to go and do it tonight, don’t wait for me, I will be back pretty late,” said Arron. Then he walked over and pecked Hebe on the cheeks. *Hebe thoughts*[What is wrong with him tonight? He never pecks me on the cheeks, he always kiss me on my forehead that would give me a sense of security and kind of saying he will always be here. I am going lose my husband soon, aren’t I?

...“The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The story is set in the late nineteenth century in America. It is a first person point of view of what disconnection and insanity can lead to. Many people believe this is a semi-autobiography of Gilman’s mental illness and treatment approach. In the story, Gilman takes the readers into the psyche of a young wife and mother, Jane, whom is powerless in her insecurities which no one truly understands or makes the attempt to try and understand. Her husband, John, has moved her to the country to recover from her illness. John is a physician who is trying to treat Jane for being “nervous”. Although his intentions are good, he goes about it in the wrong way. Dismissing any wishes she may have and not allowing her to express her feelings and or opinions. For example, Jane wants to be in a different room. The narrator states, “I don’t like our room a bit. I wanted the one downstairs that opened onto the piazza and had roses all over the window, and such pretty old-fashioned chintz hanging! But John would not hear of it.” (pg. 346) Making an assumption from what Jane reveals, she is not able to care for her newborn child and has now fallen in to an extremely emotionally unstable state. "It is fortunate Mary is so good with the baby. Such a dear baby! And yet I cannot be with him, it makes me so nervous." (pg. 346-47. Gilman) Her husband, John, and the other people in her life, don't think she should do anything...

...Environmental or Physical Geographic Factors Geography and the Development/Diffusion of Human Society THE TIBER RIVER This river is the 3rd longest river in Italy and flows through the city of Rome and is 252 miles through Umbria and Lazio, where it is joined by Aniene river and Tyrrhenian Sea. Rome was founded on the banks of Tiber, 16 miles from the sea at Ostia (Tiber River, 2015). In Rome, the Tiber river was very important to its trade and commerce, where their ships were able to reach as far as 60 miles upriver. This was also used to send grain, stone, timber, and foodstuff to Rome. THE TIBER RIVER During the Punic Wars, the harbor at Ostia became a naval base and eventually became its most important port where they ship wheat, wine, and oil around the Mediterranean. Romans also built wharves along the riverside which lines the riverbanks around the Campus Martius. They also connected the Tiber river with a sewer system and tunnels to send water to the mid-city (Tiber River, 2015). The river’s heavy sedimentation made it tough to maintain at that time, so the emperors had to create a new port on the Fiumicino. They built a new road to connect Rome with Fiumicino. THE TIBER RIVER The navigation on the Tiber river was improved with extensive dredging which boosted the trade for a while, however, eventually it resulted to silting in the river and was only navigable as far as Rome (Tiber River, 2015). The river was also popular...

The film is about the true life story of John Forbes Nash Jr. of West Virginia. The movie has succeeded in showing that the very brilliantly minded John Nash can suffer from a debilitating mental disorder such as Paranoid Schizophrenia and still achieve greatness. The reason that I picked this movie was because I had never seen it and a while back a few years ago I heard of this movie which was supposed to be great.

...Mormons – The Latter-day Saints Many new groups have arisen within Christianity, while some claim to be Christian they are not recognized as such by other traditions. These groups often take a Christian idea or teaching and develop their own ways that differ greatly from traditional Christianity such as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is known as the Mormons. The founder of the Mormons was Joseph Smith. Mormonism began with one family, that family was the family of Joseph Smith, Sr. and Lucy Mack Smith of Vermont and New York. Joseph Smith, Jr. was the fourth child among eight other siblings. Joseph Smith, Jr. known as Joseph Smith became the Prophet and First Elder of the Church of Christ during its organization of April 6, 1830. Joseph Smith had a series of visions where he received spiritual instruction from God the Father; Jesus Christ; John the Baptist; the Apostles Peter, James, and John; and from an angel known to the church members as Moroni. He also had a revelation in which he was told that all existing Christian traditions were corrupt and he was to responsible for keeping the true word of God alive and bring people to salvation, therefore, he established a new Church of last day saints (Latter-day Saints). It was Moroni that revealed to Joseph Smith the where about of a set of gold tablets and bestowed upon him the ability to interpret their...
