Reading Anna Harrington's article, "Where there's a will, there's a way," was an eye-opener for me. I was always aware that there are certain people in our society that seem to cope with situations better than others. Harrington's article shed some light as to why some people can overcome bumps in the road better than others.
When reading this article, it was as if a light bulb turned on for me. I have always been a very resilient person, and have had a hard time understanding those who are not. There have been countless times that I have thought to myself "why can't s/he just "suck it up" and move on/get over it/ perform better?" Harrington's article broke down the many aspects of resilience, including emotional, spiritual, social, family, and physical. She explained that when one of these aspects are missing or damaged, a person's …show more content…

I liked the way you brought up being selfish. It is important, as human beings, that we not only take care of ourselves, but we do our best to take care of those around us. It goes back to Harrington's point that we need others to survive. We are a team, utilizing other's strengths to help us work through our weaknesses. If we do not help others when they are in need, how can we expect them to help us when we are at a point of weakness in our lives?

Amber, I, too, picked up on the APA formatting in the article. It was a great example of how to use both direct quotes and summarization when writing. For me, reading this work that included citing made APA formatting seem a little easier and a little more "real." It gave me the confidence that I was citing correctly, as well as assurance that other people outside of those of us who are in school utilize the APA format. Knowing that APA formatting is a skill that I will utilize outside of school made it so much more important to me that I take the time to master

Comparing and Contrasting Anna Karenina and Madam Bovary

...Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary are two novels written in two different languages, around the same time period (late 1800s). Though they belong to two separate countries and are separated in history by a margin of about twenty five years, their socio political setting, and situational complexities are quite similar. ‘Madam Bovary’ takes us on a journey through the life of the extremely complex character of Emma Bovary, who has adulterous affairs and lives beyond her means in order to escape the banalities and emptiness of provincial life. Raised in a convent, a lover of sensuality, desirous of an expensive urban lifestyle yet not very smart about money, it is this dichotomy of traits that keeps Emma careening from one radically different situation to the next: first falling hard for her father's roving rural doctor Charles Bovary, thinking that their marriage will finally bring her the sophisticated Paris life full of passion and grandeur she's always dreamed of; but instead getting stuck in a provincial town where nothing ever happens and trying and failing at a domestic life. This leads to a hot-and-cold emotional affair with a young law student named Leon, followed by a much more serious affair with a major womanizer named Rodolphe. An unceremonial dumping by Rodolphe after she offers to leave her husband for him and bring her daughter along leads to a short period again in her life as a pious born-again Christian. A reacquaintance with Leon, the now successful young urban...

Anna Karenina

...Anna Karenina Anna Karenina is a novel by the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. It was born in the society where capitalism was developing and shifted from the old society to the new one in the late-19th-century feudal Russia, but the society wasn’t out of the shackles of feudalistic ideas. It describes the tragic story that the noble married woman called Anna fell in love with a young man, who is also an aristocrat in the aristocracy, and finally they break up and Anna kills herself. Tolstoy's style in Anna Karenina is considered by many critics to be transitional, forming a bridge between the realist and modernist novel. Anna married socialite and but she has affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. The story opens when she arrives in the midst of a family broken up by her brother's unbridled womanizing—something that prefigures her own later situation, though she would experience less tolerance by others. Vronsky is eager to marry her if she will agree to leave her husband Karenin, a senior government official, but she is vulnerable to the pressures of Russian social norms, the moral laws of the Russian Orthodox Church, her own insecurities, and Karenin's indecision. Although Vronsky and Anna go to Italy, where they can be together, they have trouble making friends. Back in Russia, she is shunned, becoming further isolated and anxious, while Vronsky pursues his social life. Despite Vronsky's reassurances, she grows increasingly possessive and paranoid about his imagined infidelity...

Realistic Love

...brought by reality does not impact any of it. In “The Lady with The Little Dog” by Anton Chekhov, the extramarital love between Gurov and Anna is exhibited by the transformation of Gurov in terms of his perspective about women and about life. In the very beginning, Anna is described as “nobody knew who she was, and they called her simply ‘the lady with the little dog’”(361). This is, when Gurov is still a chauvinistic man who has been trapped in a loveless marriage for years. It may disgust the reader when it is indicated that he is an experienced seducer. His affairs always end badly, but he cannot resist starting new ones. His doomed adulteries have made him cynical and bitter. Gurov is unfavorablely characterized with manipulation, misogyny, and immorality, and yet Chekhov refuses to simplify his protagonist as a stock villain. Gurov is a creature of contradiction. For example, his way of belittling women, indicated by “almost always spoke ill of women”, “an inferior race”(362), accompanies an inexorable preference for their company. Gurov can never foresee that his encounter with Anna will change his life, neither can the reader. As shown in the later section, Gurov does not regard Anna as the “the lady with the little dog” anymore. His intense feelings toward her do not allow him to. Even after Gurov’s first brief encounter with Anna he seems to realize that there is more to her than meets the eye, “something pathetic about her,...

In fields such as writing, publishing, and editing, one must be willing to start from the bottom in order to claw their way to the top. One must take any job available to them that will potentially create powerful connections to help pursue their goals. Andrea Sachs is no exception. Fresh out of college, she acquires a job in New York City that every person trying to break in to the fashion industry would die to have: junior personal assistant to the editor in chief of Runway magazine, Miranda Priestly. Ironically enough, Miranda is anything but “priest”-ly. She takes advantage of Andrea, forcing her to complete humiliating, impossible tasks for her. To make matters worse, Andrea does not exactly fit the image of someone working at Runway magazine in terms of her mentality and her physical appearance. Awkward, a size six (practically obese in her line of work), and at the bottom of the corporate food chain, she is less than thrilled to be put into this position.

Although some of these impressions are positive ones; however, others may be negative. A person’s childhood will often have a great influence on a person’s personality and character. An individual’s identity will be a reflection of their religious beliefs, ethnic background, gender, as well as their birth order. All of these will aid in the development of their own uniqueness. In a sense, we become a product of our childhood, or our up-bringing. The first theorist is Alfred Alder, he was the younger of two siblings and this made him become competitive. Whereas, his is older brother, Sigmund was very healthy, robust, and full of energy; Alfred suffered from poor health and required extra attention during his childhood. Alfred developed a combative side, and he would often challenge authority. He also strived for superiority over Sigmund.

Anna Karenina Quotes

...] [he] repented only that he had not managed to conceal things better from her. [...] Perhaps he would have managed to hide his sins better from his wife had he anticipated that the news would have such an effect on her. [...] It even seemed to him that she, a worn-out, aged, no longer beautiful woman, not remarkable for anything, simple, merely a kind mother of a family, ought in all fairness to be indulgent” (3). Overall, Stiva is only sorry he got caught, since he’s still handsome and claims that he lost interest in his wife, who aged upon the bearing of multiple children. Furthermore, Stiva feels that he has the right to an affair and is surprised that Dolly’s upset about it. Example: Vronsky is being teased by Princess Betsy about Anna. When Vronsky talks to Princess Betsy at the Opera House about being afraid of becoming ridiculous, “He knew very well that in the eyes of Betsy and all society people he ran no risk of being ridiculous. He knew very well that for those people the role of the unhappy lover of a young girl, or of a free woman generally, might be ridiculous; but the role of a man who attached himself to a married woman and devoted his life to involving her in adultery at all cost, had something beautiful and grand about it and could never be ridiculous” (128).

Suicide: a Russian Phenomenon

...The 19th century was a time of great political and social upheaval in Russia. Beginning with the abolition of serfdom in 1861, Russia experienced the age of the Great Reforms, leading to a complete overhaul of the country’s social and political climate. This age of restless transformation led to the realization of a new cultural phenomenon: suicide. Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina supports the notion that a national suicide “epidemic”, as the journalists of the time interpreted the statistics, was a by-product of the decomposing societal and moral order produced by the inception of material progress. Furthermore, Anna Karenina mirrors the “cultural institution” of suicide that erupted in the 1860’s and offers a realistic, albeit fictional, representation of the suicide phenomenon regarding both peasants and nobles. Leo Tolstoy, through use of railroads as a symbol in Anna Karenina, shared views similar with his contemporaries on the negative impact of material progress on the mental health of Russian society. Approximately 30 years before the reforms of the 1860’s, an Englishman who traveled to St. Petersburg, Thomas Raikes, Esq., commented that Russians had not yet experienced the progress of civilization that accounted for the misery leading to suicide. At the time, Russians were not yet privy to the amount of responsibility over their social and political conditions as they would be when the reforms took place, therefore they still lived free of the passion and anguish which...

In the film, Cutler gains access to her home and viewers can see her climbing chauffeur driven luxury cars. As the film opens, Wintour explains that fashion can make people nervous at time. In the film, Wintour lives to her reputation of being cold and detached. Wintour’s character is further highlighted by her relationship with Grace Coddington, Vogue’s creative director. According to The Independent (2014), Coddington’s character is opposite that of Wintour because she is approachable and cheerful. Wintour’s attitude towards her subordinates is further shown by the way she treats Coddington. She sometimes embarrassingly rejects her concepts and remains devoted to her lead feature: Sienna Miller. One of her signature looks is cutting her hair into the bob hairstyle, which she has retained since the 1960s. The September Issue follows Wintour during her shows and it highlights her demanding nature when she got the Milan Fashion Week moved another date to suit her schedule.
