...Marie Rivier was born December 19, 1768 in Montpezat, France. When she was two, Marie suffered an accident that left her severely handicapped and unable to walk. Every day Marie’s mother, a woman of great faith, would carry her to the statue of the Pieta in a nearby chapel. Soon little Marie began saying “The Blessed Virgin will cure me!” For four years Marie prayed at Mary’s feet. At the beginning of September in 1774 Marie’s father passed away. On September 8, 1774, the feast of the Birth of Mary, Marie began to walk. Later in the chapel Marie’s mother discovered a hat that she had made for Marie hanging on the statue’s head. Marie had placed the hat there as a votive offering. Marie always had a strong faith. Marie grew up to be the foundress of the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary, and throughout her life, she devoted herself to the care and education of needy children. I chose Blessed Marie Rivier as my saint’s name for a couple of reasons. One reason was because I read her story and I was inspired by her strength and determination. Even though she was handicapped her faith taught her and she still believed that the Blessed Virgin would cure her. A second reason I chose Blessed Marie is because I have always loved the name Marie. When I was very young I would always tell people my name was “Sarah Lynn Marie”. My family wondered why I was doing it and found it funny but my aunt still calls me that to this day. Blessed Marie’s feast day is February 3. http://www...

...Anna Freud Tarnisha S. Hagens PSY/310 April 14, 2013 UOPX/Axia College Anna Freud Anna Freud was the youngest of six siblings. Her father was Sigmund Freud. Anna was born the month of December 3, 1895, and died on October 9, 1982. Anna was born in Vienna, Austria, but she died in London, England. Anna was very close with her father, Sigmund Freud but not as close with her mother, and had strained relationships with her siblings, which was the five of them. Anna also attended school, which was an isolated school, but she decided to drop out because she felt as though she was not learning so her father and his associates taught her. Although her education came from them he and his associates taught her the majority of her learning experience. After advancing in high school, Freud taught as one of the elementary schoolteacher, which she began interpreting a little of her father’s work into German while enhancing her curiosity in psychoanalysis and child psychology. On the other hand, Anna was very motivated she was inspired by her father’s work because she was destined into transpiring to be just like him.

...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 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...

...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,...

...Melissa Learish Mrs. Rutt-Houser AP Senior English: Period 2 14 April 2015 The Devil [and I] Wears Prada It is every girl’s dream to graduate college, move to the big city, and risk everything in order to fulfill their dream. 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. However, she keeps her goal in mind, and this encourages her to put on a happy face as she absorbs the torment she receives from her colleagues. Outside of the office, Andrea lives with her boyfriend. The stress of Andrea (Andy)’s job takes its toll on their relationship...

...Anna Wintour ”To be in ’Vogue’ has to mean something. It’s an endorsement. It’s a validation” These words were spoken by the one and only Anna Wintour, and she truly spoke the truth. The English Anna Wintour have since 1983 taken over the American Vogue, and surely has with her bob hair and sun glasses made an impression in the fashion industry. Ever since she was a child, it seemed as if she was destined to become a part of the magazine industry. Her family, her career building, and everything else surrounding her life, such as connections pointed out her future in fashion very clearly. Her work in Vogue became highly famous after her first issue as an editor in chief, her motto at that, and to this day is “A fashion magazine is about change”, and surely she proved her point, by using models that weren’t skinny, but were healthy. She made the cover wear a pair of $50 jeans, instead of an expensive designer gown, and it was a success. However living your dream isn’t always a treat. Anna Wintour had to deal with a lot of criticism; most of the criticism was pointed towards her personality. Many had described Wintour as ruthless and rude. Many workers at Vogue and former assistants in particular had spoken about Wintour being superior to all, and that even the slightest contact with her, was a mistake. But not only was it her personality that bothered many, but also her choice of wardrobe. The animal’s rights organizations such as PETA had been having a lot of issues...

...Teresa Durstine PSYC 250 – DOL 1 Professor Stone October 28, 2013 Beyond Biography A person’s character and personality will leave a great impression on others. 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. Because his older brother was domineering, competent, and intelligence, Alfred always felt inferior to him. This would cause Alfred to feel like he was the underdog, who was constantly competing against a very powerful foe. All this aided in Alfred developing a fierce rivalry against his brother Sigmund. When Alfred was just five years old, he almost died from pneumonia. Young Alfred went skating with an older boy who abandoned him on the freezing, ice cold skating...

...] [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). Society acknowledges Example: Oblonsky visits Levin and they have dinner after doing some shooting. By the end of dinner, it is evident that Oblonsky has been participating in sexual activities with...

The story of Teresa Gullace, who was an Italian woman killed by the Germans in front of the barracks on viale Giulio Cesare, who was the inspiration of a famous scene of the death of Pina. Gullace was killed while running after her fiance, who was being abducted. In 1945, the time period of the film, the war was still going on in the rest of Italy. The film is divided up into two seperate parts the first half more focused on the lives of daily resistance fighters living in Rome, Italy.

...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...
