...Early carousels of 19th century America were advertised as highly recommended by physicians as an aid in circulating the blood. This made the ride fun and beneficial for all ages. Carousels became extremely popular around this time, and although there were many around America, one of the most well known machines was in Holden Caulfield's, the protagonist in Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger, hometown, New York. During the carousel scene, Holden ventures away from childhood to adulthood, and comes to many realizations about himself and others, especially acknowledging that becoming an adult is not a bad thing, but a new experience.

...Draper uses the rhetorical device of pathos, involving an emotional appeal to the product he is trying to sell: The Carousel. His entire speech reminisces over how technology can be used as a type of metaphorical “time machine”. He elaborates by showing pictures of his wife when she was pregnant and another of his children around what seems like the ages of four and seven. He continues by saying, “it allows you to go backward [and] forward”. Restating his last statement of the “time machine.” Pathos is not only shown by the topic he is talking about, it is also shown by the tone of his voice. As he speaks, his voice gets slower and deeper with more pauses as if he is in every single moment captured by his product making the scene even more...

...Many museums around the world display beautiful pieces of art. The Mingei International Museum of art in San Diego’s Balboa Park carries many types of art with a vast category of sculpture. One of the best pieces there is Carousel Horse by the Gustav A. Dentzel Carousel Company (1867-1928). Gustav Dentzel was a cabinetmaker, but decided to make carousel animals. His animals are the most anatomically correct than the work of other carvers. This horse in particular is a fine work because of the attention to detail, vivid colors, and realistic proportions. Detail is a great part of this sculpture, but the media that the piece was made shows the skill of the carver. It comes to life from the expression of the face. The opened mouth, wide eyes, and perked up ears really give the notion that the horse is alert, which makes it more life-like. Seeing this and realizing that it is carved from wood makes one admire it more. Wood is not a forgiving medial, so great skill is required and this piece reflects articulate craftsmanship. Additionally, the size of the horse makes it more intimidating and more realistic. If this was made from marble or anything other that wood it would not feel as real as it does....

...In the novel Something Wicked This Way Comes, Ray Bradbury uses symbolism throughout the story. Symbolism is shown through the carousel and the illustrations. The Carousel represents the further or closer you are to death. In the story Mr. Dark along with his partner Mr.Cooger use the carnivals carousel to make Mr.Cooger younger shown through “while Mr.Cooger, as simple as shadows, as simple as light, as simple as time got younger. And younger. And younger”(Bradbury,78). They need to make him younger so he can pose as Miss Foley’s nephew and persuade her to join the carnival. They want him to get Miss Foley to join the carnival so there army of freaks is stronger. Him using the carousel backwards takes him away from death. The carousel runs on people wanting to redo a part in their life shown through “but the carnival doesn’t care if it stinks by moonlight instead of sun, so long as it gorges on fear and pain.”(202) When people are grieving or upset about something the carnival bribes them with the carousel showing them that the carousel can make them younger or older to fulfill their...

...Within Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, evidenced by Holden’s happiness, Holden begins his path to maturity when he accepts the Phoebe is “reaching for maturity” on the carousel, realizing that he needs to mentally heal and mature. Not being able to see everything good happening around us is common in our everyday life. We get used to the privileges, and we tunnel-vision in on the negatives of the world and yearn for escape. Holden, depressed and fantastical, grasps at the hopes for escape in the first three quarters of The Catcher in the Rye. The lack of the carousel symbol within the book before Holden’s change represent how he shied away from his journey to maturity. There are some major reasons as to why he shies away from maturity:...

...more they can lose sight of themselves. In The Cather in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, Holden Caulfield struggles with accepting his loss of innocence which leads towards his downfall. Holden is a struggling 16 year-old boy, trying to find his place in this world, clinging onto his innocence in urgent desperation. Over the span of three days, the novel follows Holden where he eventually accepts his loss of innocence, but not without going through many struggles along the way first. Through Salinger’s use of symbols, the reader is able to clearly identify Holden’s reluctance toward becoming an adult and surrendering his innocence. Throughout The Catcher in the Rye, the author uses the Museum of Natural History, the erasing of profanity and the carousel to reveal that a person cannot avoid his or her loss of innocence. Holden visits his childhood spot, Museum of Natural History, symbolizing a world in which nothing has to change. While reflecting on his memories from the museum he realizes that the reason he loved it so much was because he could count on everything staying the same, “the best thing though, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Nobody’d move…the only thing that would be different is you” (Salinger 121). Just like the thought of preserving innocence, Holden revels in the thought of everything staying exactly the same, forever. However, Holden knows he has become different, as he acknowledges in this quote. He realizes that he possesses...

...Medication Dispensing Errors and Potential Adverse Drug Events before and after Implementing Bar Code Technology in the Pharmacy Eric G. Poon, MD, MPH; Jennifer L. Cina, PharmD; William Churchill, MS; Nirali Patel, PharmD; Erica Featherstone, BS; Jeffrey M. Rothschild, MD, MPH; Carol A. Keohane, BSN, RN; Anthony D. Whittemore, MD; David W. Bates, MD, MSc; and Tejal K. Gandhi, MD, MPH Background: Many dispensing errors made in hospital pharmacies can harm patients. Some hospitals are investing in bar code technology to reduce these errors, but data about its efficacy are limited. Objective: To evaluate whether implementation of bar code technology reduced dispensing errors and potential adverse drug events (ADEs). Design: Before-and-after study using direct observations. Setting: Hospital pharmacy at a 735-bed tertiary care academic medical center. Intervention: A bar code–assisted dispensing system was implemented in 3 configurations. In 2 configurations, all doses were scanned once during the dispensing process. In the third configuration, only 1 dose was scanned if several doses of the same medication were being dispensed. Measurements: Target dispensing errors, defined as dispensing errors that bar code technology was designed to address, and target potential ADEs, defined as target dispensing errors that can harm patients. Results: In the pre– and post–bar code implementation periods, the authors observed 115 164 and 253 984 dispensed medication doses, respectively...

...novel, Holden emphasizes how tall he is and how he has gray hair, yet he admits that he still acts young for his age. “It’s really ironical, because I’m six foot two and half and have gray hair...The one side of my head...is full of millions of gray hairs...And yet I still act sometimes like I was only twelve.” (Salinger, 9) Salinger uses this hyperbole to really highlight to his readers that even though Holden might look like he is getting older on the outside, on the inside he still acts young and immature like a child. A second example of hyperbole that Salinger uses focuses more heavily on not liking change. In chapter 25 there is an instance in the novel where Holden is approaching a carousel which he used to often ride as a kid. He reflects on how he loves how the carousel keeps playing the same song forever and never changes. “...We kept getting closer and...
