...against her body and psychological wellness.[1] Also exploiting Freud’s theory, Tania Modleski deciphers female suffering in Vertigo as a punishment for her inherently close relationship with the mother with which the men envy.[2] In drawing on the phallocentric models of Freud and Lacan, these criticisms bear a blind spot in that they assume certain essentialist sexual development characteristics to formulate the backbone of their analysis, such as Mulvey’s reading of object-of-desire or Modleski’s draw on bisexuality. In order to fairly assess if the nature of violence in Vertigo is misogynistic, I seek a language that is not inherently phallocentric. And while Lacan offers a comparatively more structuralist framework, I find his psychological development theory inadequate to address fully the transition between development stages and the mechanism for regression, for which I perceive as very complex...

...writing. Today, I selected the Kevin Brooks’s story “Fairy Tales” to talk about what the Sharmila Pixy Ferris has discussed, the effects of computers based on the “Fairy Tales.” This story is really a good example to tell us that computer writing in changing our life, this technology brings us benefits but also something bad. When I clicked the mouse to open the website, a colorful page appeared. I read the text and moved the mouse to try to find where I can click. Then I clicked the “We Tell Stories,” and it opened a new webpage which is not related to my project, so I closed it. I read the instructions, and made up a name for the peasant’s daughter. I typed Nancy, a name easy to remember, and I clicked submit. I read the first part of the story, and made a King’s name, Louis and clicked submit. I had to choose an animal which will be most helpful to me against the King and what they are like. I chose the worm because it is an animal I hate and am afraid of. Then, I clicked “ugly” by mistake, but I cannot go back. I continued to read the story that I participated in, and after I picked the Mysterious Goblin. I had to choose one of the qualities to make Nancy enter the gate, so I chose wisdom. Wisdom is one of the most important qualities that human-beings must have. Finally, this story is coming to an end, so I preferred an almost happy end of a story. The end that the author made surprised me but it is reasonable after thinking about it for a minute. Overall, I am...

...Outline The Primary Skills Used In Counselling Relationships When planning this essay I assumed that I would just produce a narrative of the primary skills and how they can enhance any counselling relationship but after some thought I felt that for the sake of congruence, ‘a core condition’, along side that narrative I would relate it to my own learning experience. I came to the CPPD thinking that if I wanted to be a therapist, then trying to find a solution to my client’s problems was my only goal. I gave little thought of how I would achieve this and even less thought or credence to the relationship I would have with the client and what power that relationship holds. I have since discovered that we should try and treat the relationship that develops as a living breathing entity, which has the ability itself to shine a light on the client’s blockages. Rogers, in ‘On Becoming A Person’ says that: “ If I can create a relationship characterized on my part: by a genuineness and transparency, in which I am my real feelings; by a warm acceptance of and prizing of the other person as a separate individual; by a sensitive ability to see his world and himself as he sees them; Then the other individual in the relationship: Will experience and understand aspects of himself which previously he has repressed; Will find himself becoming better integrated, more able to function effectively; Will become more similar to the person he would like to be; Will be more self- directing...

...separate her human side to make these decisions? The fact that the case was a first person narrative, it helped me place myself in the shoes of ‘Susan’, the manager and look at it with a personal perspective. In our case, we have two very different characters, Terry and Phil. We can see, that Terry is a nuisance, and has come to his position through “guanxi” or relationships, rather than the traditional Human Resources methods. Therefore, my first insight was to jump into the conclusion that Terry does not belong to his department or even the company. But as I looked deeper into the case, I realize that what Terry did was doing a job that noone else could. His work methods were somewhat ‘sleazy’ and ‘unethical’, but he almost seemed like a necessary evil. Secondly, agreeing with Susan, Phil is definitely not as bad as Terry. But Phil definitely requires motivation. His state seems much more situational than Terry’s, and after reading the secoknd part of the case, I realized that infact he was seriously ill. But how should a manager leave his or her human, empathetic style and be a completely rational being and make her judgement according to facts and data. This is a dilemma, I believe every manager faces throught life. Reflecting on a personal experience, and amalgamating the fore-mentioned dilemma, I recall an event in my life, where I had a very difficult decision to make. As I was a very...

...Personal Narrative Your NAme Here PSY 230 August 26, 2010 Axia College of the University of Phoenix The past five years of my life is easiest explained by the humanistic theory of psychology, in particular that of Abraham Maslow’s “psychology of being” (McAdams, 2006, pp. 268, ¶ 3). Prior to five years ago I was striving towards self actualization, having all my basic requirements of physiological, safety, belongingness, and love needs as described in Maslow’s needs hierarchy in place, my self-esteem was high. I have proven myself as successful in achieving my goals and was regularly rewarded with recognition that afforded me with a certain prestige and status at work as well as among my social group. The reason I have chosen Maslow’s needs hierarchy to describe the past five years of my life is simply because I believe his explanation is fluid, mimicking life’s ups, and downs. I systematically lost many of my esteem needs through divorce (belongingness and love needs), illness, injury (safety needs) and the loss of my job (achievement) as described in Maslow’s need hierarchy (McAdams, 2006). The last five years have been used to regain what I lost, and I now have a new direction to pursue. I have returned to school to receive the education I need to achieve my goals in my redirected meaning of my purpose and meaning in life, which are to again achieve the confidence, status, prestige, and self-esteem I had lost. Peak experiences of my past such as marrying, taking care...

...The Role and Life of a Mental Health Counselor COUN 6100-13 Intro to Mental Health Counseling Component I: Narrative Summation of Interview Mrs. Washington-Williams was able to explain to me the difference from a mental health counselor and a social worker. Mental health counselors focus on interventions and preventions for their clients. Although social worker and mental health counselors have some similar things in common there are also some that are different when it comes to working with our clients. A normal day according to Mrs. Washington-Williams goes as her checking in on her clients throughout the day, having one-on-one counseling session, group counseling, and looking over the client goals to determine if the client has worked towards their goals and made progress. All counselors do struggle with ethical and legal issues; but they do keep in mind on can help and hurt them. Because of that she has to keep in mind that the client she is working has a great imagination. Some of the clients like to come up with stories and see if anything will be done. She did state that an investigation is and reviewed to see if the stories are true or false. Not all counselors go by theories and apply them in their practice but they still acknowledge them. When asked about theories she stated that due to every client is different and the treatment various; she do not use theories as often but when they are need she does the research and apply what...

The beach releases me from all my responsibilities, so I try to visit the beach every summer at least once. I feel that all work and no play can be socially unhealthy. There should always be time for letup. Everyone needs to get out of work mode once in a while. My cousins enjoy the beach as much as I do, and my cousins always invite me to tag along with them. When I visit the beach, I can personally say that I always create new memories. This past summer, I only got the chance to go to the beach one time, but I still had an amazing time at the beach. The day I went to the beach was perfect. The sun was high in the sky, and the clouds provided just enough shade. The weather for the whole day was beautiful. The sand on the beach was warm to the skin. It felt as if I was walking on a bunch of pillows. As soon as I sat on the beach I completely buried my feet in the sand. The waves where flowing in because of the boat traffic in the distance. The sound of the waves were almost putting me to sleep as I laid on the shore. Many people play recordings of wave sounds to put themselves asleep at night, but the real sound of waves in person is extremely move effective. The water, the sand, and the sky was just exceptional. I could not dream up a better day. The setting of the beach was just right. The...

It is from The Adventures of Pinocchio, written by Carlo Collodi. “When she lost her job, she acted like a Scrooge, and refused to buy anything that wasn’t necessary.” Scrooge was an extremely stingy character from Charles Dickens’, A Christmas Carol. “I thought the software would be useful, but it was a Trojan Horse.” This refers to the horse that the Greeks built that contained all the soldiers. It was given as a gift to the enemy during the Trojan War and, once inside the enemy's walls, the soldiers broke out. By using trickery, the Greeks won the war. “He was a real Romeo with the ladies.” Romeo was a character in Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, and was very romantic in expressing his love for Juliet. “Chocolate was her Achilles’ heel.” This means that her weakness was her love of chocolate...

...The Narrative Art of The Great Gatsby Introduction The Great Gatsby was written in 1925. The author, Francis Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) is one of the most outstanding writers in America. As a member of the “lost generation”, Fitzgerald made the short life of Gatsby epitome of the rise, boom and decline of the “American Dream” in “Jazz Age”. This novel shows us unusually rich literary and aesthetic connotation is has by its unique narrative perspective, the ups and downs of plot, superb accurate language, various rhetorical devices and vivid character images. To some extent, the reason why The Great Gatsby can become a famous classic work is that the author uses extraordinary narrative techniques in it. All the techniques are employed skillfully by Fitzgerald. The study of narrative art in this work has been highlighted in the research area in these years. Zhang Jinfeng(2001) analyzes the role of Nick in the novel from the its structure, themes and other aspects. Cheng Xilin(2009) uses the spatial narrative theory to discussed the space narrative art in The Great Gatsby from three aspects: the geography space, social space and the text space. Xiao Dongbo(2009) starts with the analysis on author and characters and expound the connotation of "American dream" and profoundly reveals the historical process of the formation, development and burst of the "American dream".

...A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wing. Alone it must seek the ether. -Kahalil Gibran Preface December 16th, 2025 This is a book about Babu Bangladesh. This is about a man popularly known to many of us, as simply Babu. Chances are that many of you across the world encountered his name in media reports about a decade ago. International spotlights turned toward him sometime around 2005, resting on him awhile before his disappearance in 2017. Babu gained repute as a dashing environmentalist, and as an advocate of sustainable development practices in poverty stricken economies. While he is now overlooked by mainstream and gulfstream eyes, collegiate programs, left-leaning organizations, and ecological societies scattered over every continent note his initiatives. Vigilant followers might catch a glimpse of Babu’s likeness flash across the massive LED screens at U2 concerts. Thich Nhat Hanh, Arundhati Roy, and Cornel West have publicly quoted him. It is even believed that when Hillary Clinton visited Bangladesh in late 2017, she voiced strong concerns over the troubling details of Babu’s vanishing act. Female rock-star, Gwen Stefani is said to sport a tattoo on her left buttock that closely resembles Babu, but due to the artist’s weight gain between 2019 and 2022, it is difficult to confirm the likeness. In Bangladesh, Babu is remembered as a writer, politician, and as somewhat of a mystic. Depending on the nature of their interactions...

...Comics as Archives: MetaMetaMaus Hillary Chute | University of Chicago Abstract: In the view of some critics, the form of comics is a locus of the archival, a place where we can identify an archival turn. Art Spiegelman’s Maus first and perhaps most forcefully established the connection between archives and comics. His groundbreaking work documenting his father’s experience in WWII Poland, where he survived internment in Auschwitz, is a visual narrative based on oral testimony that consistently heightens our awareness of visual, written, and oral archives, and where they interact, overlap, or get transposed one into the other. Hillary Chute recounts and interprets her collaboration with Spiegelman in the process of assembling MetaMaus, a book compiling interviews and archival materials on the making of Maus. MetaMaus, argues Chute, reflects the tension between different kinds of extant archives—oral, written, photographic—and the cross-discursive work of (re)building new archives that motivates Maus. Its defining feature is that it shows the materiality of Spiegelman’s archive; it is about the embodiment of archives. The subject of Maus is the retrieval of memory and ultimately, the creation of memory…. It’s about choices being made, of finding what one can tell, and what one can reveal, and what one can reveal beyond what one knows one is revealing. Those are the things that give real tensile strength to the work—putting the dead into little boxes. – Art Spiegelman (MetaMaus...
