...The article “Sensory Stimulation in Dementia” discusses an alternative to handling behavioral problems in senior citizen who suffer from dementia. More often than not, older individuals with dementia will experience symptoms often attributed to psychiatric patients. These include anxiety, hostility, wandering, depression, delusions, disrupted sleep, and hallucinations. The most common form of treatment for such symptoms is either institutional care or behavioral treatment. In addition to either of these approaches, however, patients often receive drugs such as antipsychotics or other sedatives in order to alleviate the effects of the dementia. The problem here is that these neuroleptics and similar drugs almost always come with their own respective side effects, including a general decrease in quality of life. One main concern here is that patients who are receiving such drugs to control their symptoms are often the patients who are already experiencing low qualities of life as is because their dementia symptoms are generally so severe. Other recent attempts at treatment include snoezelen, which is another name for controlled multisensory stimulation, where patients are exposed to a soothing and stimulating environment. In this environment, they will receive varied sensory stimulation in the forms of fiber optic lighting effects, color, sounds, music, or smells. The light treatment and aromatherapy have emerged as the two most promising approaches among these in the treatment...

Emphasis on their voices increases readers’ identification with the text. The protagonists’ distinctive voice expresses their particular purpose. Day constructed the protagonist in the LCHL, Claudia Valentine’s voice as tough talking; this is shown by her stating “No one gets in my room… Let alone my bed.” And cynical “Well heeled, well coiffed.” Her dialogue is mainly noir, and classic private eye detective style.

Badham moulds the protagonist in The Hard Way, John Moss, to have dialogue of a typical 90’s hard boiled New York City cop. When John Moss states “At least they didn’t steal your rubber gun.” This informs the viewers of his sarcastic nature and some what wittiness...
