...Almotari 1 Hussein Almotari Mr.Borrelli ENG2D1-07 March 4, 2013 The Sane Sanity is the basis of the mind. Without sanity, people become mindless. In Charlie Fish’s short story-Death by Scrabble, the protagonist displays very strong mental instability. He is playing Scrabble with his wife and he secretly wants to kill her the entire time. His sanity then becomes questionable as the story progresses. The theme of sanity is reinforced in “Death by Scrabble” by the literary devices foreshadowing and irony. The story begins and right away we know that the husband hates his wife. The very first words are, “It’s a hot day and I hate my wife.”(1) The first statement makes you realize that the story can only go downhill from here. You cannot tell what the outcome of the story will be from these words, but it foreshadows that there is going to be a consequence for his words. He begins to complain about his life, how he has not done the things he has wanted to do and he does not have the things that he has always wanted. He truly believes that all of it is his wife’s fault. He looks at her in disgust and everything she does aggravates him. He over- exaggerates the things that he could have been doing. He makes the life that he would have had sound amazing compared to the one that he has now. This is the first sign that he is unstable...

...Memoirs Of A Geisha Arthur Golden Chapter one Suppose that you and I were sitting in a quiet room overlooking a gar -1 den, chatting and sipping at our cups of green tea while we talked J about something that had happened a long while ago, and I said to you, "That afternoon when I met so-and-so . . . was the very best afternoon of my life, and also the very worst afternoon." I expect you might put down your teacup and say, "Well, now, which was it? Was it the best or the worst? Because it can't possibly have been both!" Ordinarily I'd have to laugh at myself and agree with you. But the truth is that the afternoon when I met Mr. Tanaka Ichiro really was the best and the worst of my life. He seemed so fascinating to me, even the fish smell on his hands was a kind of perfume. If I had never known him, I'm sure I would not have become a geisha. I wasn't born and raised to be a Kyoto geisha. I wasn't even born in Kyoto. I'm a fisherman's daughter from a little town called Yoroido on the Sea of Japan. In all my life I've never told more than a handful of people anything at all about Yoroido, or about the house in which I grew up, or about my mother and father, or my older sister -and certainly not about how I became a geisha, or what it was like to be one. Most people would much rather carry on with their fantasies that my mother and grandmother were geisha, and that I began my training in dance when I was weaned from the breast, and so on. As a matter of fact, one day many years...

...Foreword 11 How Keen Is Your Observation? 13 Does what you see register in your mind? Which light is on top of the traffic light? Is the number six on your watch dial, the Arabic #6 or is it the Roman #VI? Other observation questions. The importance of observation in memory. Habit Is Memory 20 There is no such thing as a poor memory, only a trained or untrained one. There is no limit to the capacity of the memory. Lucius Scipio was able to remember the names of all the people of Rome; Seneca could memorize and repeat two thousand words after hearing them once. Test Your Memory 24 If you can remember any one thing by association, you can do it with anything else. A series of tests for you to take now to indicate how limited your untrained memory is. Interest in Memory 32 The first step is to be interested in remembering names, faces, dates, figures, facts—anything, and that you have confidence in your ability to retrain them. Link Method of Memory 39 What the Link Method is. Use this method of associating ridiculous mental images with items you want to remember. Start to remember as you've never remembered before. Peg System of Memory 48 The Peg System helps you associate and remember numbers. You can learn to remember 52 items by number, in and out of order. Uses of the Peg and Link Systems 60 Start with remembering a Shopping List and Daily Errands. From this you will go on to more difficult feats. How to Train Your Observation 66 ...
