...Morgan James Biology 1020 March 3, 2015 Video Title: “Nova: Dying to Be Thin” Plot Summary The video I viewed was “Nova: Dying to Be Thin”. The video tells the story of some young girls who face anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders that are on the rise. I chose to view this video because I use to always want to be thin and at one point in my life I found myself struggling with bulimia. Not many people would believe that I struggled with bulimia because of how I appear to look, but you would be surprised what a person has gone through. That is why you should never judge a book by its cover. The main focus of this video is telling different stories, views, and situations dealing with eating disorders. According to the narrator a ballerina...

...‘BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP FOR DEATH’ – Emily Dickinson Summary Death, in the form of a gentleman suitor, stops to pick up the speaker and take her on a ride in his horse-drawn carriage. They move along at a pretty relaxed pace and the speaker seems completely at ease with the gentleman. As they pass through the town, she sees children at play, fields of grain, and the setting sun. Pretty peaceful, right? As dusk sets in our speaker gets a little chilly, as she is completely under-dressed – only wearing a thin silk shawl for a coat. She was unprepared for her impromptu date with Death when she got dressed that morning. They stop at what will be her burial ground, marked with a small headstone. In the final stanza, we find out the speaker's ride with Death took place centuries ago (so she's been dead for a long time). But it seems like just yesterday when she first got the feeling that horse heads (like those of the horses that drew the "death carriage") pointed toward "Eternity"; or, in other words, signaled the passage from life to death to an afterlife. Analysis Death OK, so death is not a new concept to us but Dickinson does a good job making it fresh and strange by having death take the form of a man. You might be tempted to think of the grim reaper, with his black cloak and dangerous-looking scythe (the curved sharp thing he's always carrying around), but, no, Dickinson's Death is a real smooth operator. He's the kind of guy who would hold the door open for his...

...Medically Assisted Suicide Physician-assisted suicide also known as PAS, is a controversial topic everywhere; some believe if a patient is terminally ill then it should be permissible while others believe it is against their beliefs and religion to commit any type of suicide. Physician-assisted suicide is when a patient requests the help of digesting a lethal drug to quicken their death (United States Physician Assisted Suicide Law Summary and Law Digest par. 1). The most common patients to request assisted suicide are patients with cancer and AIDs. Active euthanasia is sometimes also considered physician-assisted suicide because it results in death from someone purposely doing something to the patient causing them to die; such as being injected with poison. Passive euthanasia is the withholding of a medical treatment for a patient, which is legal, but many come to be disagreed upon. Withholding food and water, turning off machines, and failing to resuscitate are prime examples of passive euthanasia (United States Physician Assisted Suicide Law Summary and Law Digest par. 1). There are currently three states that permit physician-assisted suicide, Washington and Oregon. On October 27, 1997, the Death with Dignity Act was passed in Oregon. The Death with Dignity Act states that an Oregonian that is terminally-ill has the right to voluntarily, self-administrate lethal medications with a prescription from their physician. On March 5, 2009, Washington passed the Death with Dignity...

...“A Valediction: forbidding Mourning” Summary The speaker explains that he is forced to spend time apart from his lover, but before he leaves, he tells her that their farewell should not be the occasion for mourning and sorrow. In the same way that virtuous men die mildly and without complaint, he says, so they should leave without “tear-floods” and “sigh-tempests,” for to publicly announce their feelings in such a way would profane their love. The speaker says that when the earth moves, it brings “harms and fears,” but when the spheres experience “trepidation,” though the impact is greater, it is also innocent. The love of “dull sublunary lovers” cannot survive separation, but it removes that which constitutes the love itself; but the love he shares with his beloved is so refined and “Inter-assured of the mind” that they need not worry about missing “eyes, lips, and hands.” Though he must go, their souls are still one, and, therefore, they are not enduring a breach, they are experiencing an “expansion”; in the same way that gold can be stretched by beating it “to aery thinness,” the soul they share will simply stretch to take in all the space between them. If their souls are separate, he says, they are like the feet of a compass: His lover’s soul is the fixed foot in the center, and his is the foot that moves around it. The firmness of the center foot makes the circle that the outer foot draws perfect: “Thy firmness makes my circle just, / And makes me end, where I begun...

...attacked where the Allies least expected them in the element of surprise. One of the main reasons why the Germans forces managed to penetrate deep into allied lines so the allies were completely unprepared for the attack, which hurt them. Without the roadl network of Bastogne, German supply lines became very thin. Germans had a choice or the option to go west and fight the allied forces or they could attack to the east and fight the soviets. But they figured since the soviets had so many soldiers that they were not the correct people to attack and decided to fight the battle in the west. One of Hitler's greatest down fall was him underestimating the power of the air force. He wanted to create chaos in the United States, he figured if he could start chaos in the United States that they would have to...

Basch is a new intern in internal medicine at a hospital called the House of God. He begins his internship under the tutelage of the Fat Man, a second year resident who has some crazy ideas as to how to take care of patients. According to the Fat Man, there are two types of patients: the dying young and gomers. Gomers are elderly, demented patients from outside nursing homes who barely qualify as being human and who, the Fat Man says, never die. Only the young are sick enough to die at the House of God. Roy starts his internship fairly scared. He meets his fellow interns, Potts, Hyper Hooper, Chuck, Eat My Dust Eddy and the Runt—all scared and new to internship and patient care. Roy gets assigned duty with Chuck and Potts under the Fat Man on an internal medicine ward. Each takes turns...

...He goes to Scylla (the 6 headed monster) so only 6 of the heads could get the men, 6 heads and 6 men could be taken. He also puts his own life on the line because he sacrifices many things of his own just for his men. Sometimes they do not listen to him and do wrong things, but they look up to him as their leader and he is great for that. Being a leader is a very strong quality and can lead me very far in life. A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be”-Rosalynn Carter. This powerful quote summaries a very important part of this essay and will be very valuable to me. Being a leader is super important, making good choices and being smart and passionate, all while being respectful. Odysseus did the same, leading his men to war and giving them opportunities and great plans and confidence to give his men hope during the rough and difficult times together. Odysseus is caught captive on Calypso Island for 7 years and he is very confident and he pushes through the hard times no matter what, this relates to Covid 19 and the dangerous pandemic that...

Climate change has increased the temperature leading to lethal temperatures when combined with dehydration.

...musicians, British royalty, models, and television personalities. Every year the magazine crowns the year’s “most beautiful” and features them on the cover. Of the 22 most beautiful 19 have been women and out of the 19 women 16 have been White. This signals to People’s readers that beautiful means White and everything else does not equate beauty. However, this is not unique to People or even magazines like it, but instead represents a larger trend that is present in all forms of Western popular culture. In the various mediums of popular culture, ideologies about female beauty are exceedingly prevalent and constantly managed and reproduced. These ideologies carry with them the notion that in order to obtain ideal female beauty one must be very thin, young, have long hair, and wear expensive or revealing clothing (Stern, 2004). In addition to this there is also a raced definition of beauty, which predominates Western popular culture and dictates that White women with light hair and eye color can only attain true beauty. By looking closely at fashion magazines, television shows, movies and advertisements it is easy to see how Asian, Black and Latina women are underrepresented and misrepresented; and more importantly beauty is not typically associated with these and other nonwhite races. The power and importance of popular culture in today’s society has further supported beauty ideologies that are racialized. Feminist and cultural scholars have often...

...family's sulfur mine was destroyed. Antoinetta suffered a mental breakdown and was institutionalized after battling mental illness for years. He then immersed himself in his writing to free from his troubles. Later on, he invented "grotesco", a form of theatrical expressionism that sacrifices realism in order to portray psychological experience. In his lifetime, many of Pirandello's works were considered controversial. His work is known for its atmosphere of mystery and tension, along with the questions he raises about the "fictions we create for ourselves". In 1934, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Luigi Pirandello's works are still strongly influencing playwrights and writers who explore life's ironies and paradoxes. Summary: "War" by Luigi Pirandello is a short story about a couple whose son has been sent to war. They board a train to leave Rome, the departure spot for their sons and young men going off to war. The wife felt she was the only mother who grieved about her son leaving. All the passengers on this train have one or more loved ones on the front in the war.

...Part 1 What do I think what the world would be without photography, close your eyes what do you see? All of us would see nothing, that nothing would affect everyone, only the true magnitude without photography in our lives today we would all be lost. Photography helped us capture and transmit that special moment and if we lost the ability to take photographs the world itself would be different. I could not go back and look at my old embarrassing childhood photos just a memory that I could not share. All my Naval Achievements and Awards that I have accomplish were all photographed and framed. The photos of all my children would all disappear and all would just be a memory in my brain. Just imagine no TV, we would still be watching live performances on the stage of reenactments of whatever was happening then and now. Everyone would have to gather at the local town hall or theater to watch the local news. Newspapers and Magazines would literally be boring no photographs to look at, just have to rely on someone to sketch it out. No more Facebook, Instagram, selfies, and no more people trying to photo bomb you, our society today would go crazy. We would move on, discover something new, but if photos didn’t exist people would have continued to use illustrations as a means of preserving history. The world without photographs would be a challenge, but then we would have more free time to communicate with one another, learn something new, and appreciate what the world has given us....
