(SIP-A) When Mildred overdoses, she almost dies, but when Montag talks to her about it, she brushes if off and doesn’t think about it, she just moves forward. (STEWE-1) When Montag comes home from his work, he finds his wife on the ground next to a empty pill bottle. Mildred is dying, because she was moving too fast to realize what she had done. This happens so frequently, because the men who save her are not medics, instead they are plumbers. When Montag mentions this to them, the plumber simple says “‘Hell!’ The operator’s cigarette moved on his lip. ‘We got these cases nine or ten a night. Got so many, starting a few years ago, we had special machines built. With the optical lens, of course, that was new; the rest is ancient. You don’t need an .M.D., case like this; all you need is two handymen, clean up the problem in half an hour’” (Bradbury 13). This happens so frequently in the society that even plumbers are able to revive people like this, an overdose state. (STEWE-2) The next morning, Mildred wakes up, the seashells already in her ear, and moving from one thing to another. ‘Yes,’ he said. ‘I wanted to talk to you.’ He paused. ‘You took all the pills in your bottle last night.’ ‘Oh, I wouldn't do that,’ she said, surprised. ‘The bottle was empty.’ ‘I wouldn't do a thing like that. Why would I do a thing like that?’ she asked. ‘Maybe you took two pills and forgot and took two more, and forgot again and took two more, and were so dopy you kept right on until you had thirty or forty of them in you.’ ‘Heck,’ she said, ‘what would I want to go and do a silly thing like that for?’ ‘I don't know,’ he said. She was quite obviously waiting for him to go. ‘I didn't do that,’ she said. ‘Never in a billion years.’ ‘Alright if you say so,’ he said. ‘That's what the lady said.’ She turned back to her script. ‘What's on this afternoon?’ he asked tiredly. She didn't look up from her

    Don Anselmo and Mrs.Higgins are similar because they both stand up for what they want. They have in common that they are both being strong in the beginning. Don Anselmo and Mrs. Higgins are different because Don Anselmo stays strong throughout the entire story but at the end Mrs.Higgins does not. I would not say they are more different than similar because they both want something better for the kids in their life.…

    When you compare The Hunt of the Unicorn and Tar Beach you will see many similarities that are visible to the eye without doing any research. The first of which is the dark backgrounds. They both have lighter colors in them that make the picture stand out, but a majority of the colors are dark. They are calm and flow well there is not a lot happening in each piece of art. In each there is one piece that is a little active. In the Hunt of the Unicorn, the unicorn is in motion, and in Tar Beach the girl is flying across the bridge.…

    Young men who are sent to a war learn the reality in a very harsh and brutal way. Both the stories, ‘The Red Convertible’ and ‘The Things They Carried’ portray the life of a young soldier and how he psychologically gets affected from all the things he had seen in the war. Tim O’Brien’s ‘The Things They Carried,’ is more specific on the experiences of a soldier during a war where as Karen Louise Erdrich focuses more on describing the post war traumatic stress in her short story ‘The Red Convertible’. One thing similar in both the narrations is the Vietnam War and its consequences on the soldiers. From the background of both the authors it’s easy to conclude that Tim O’Brien being a war veteran emphasizes more on the war scenes where as Louise Erdrich focuses mainly on the life inside the reservations, which makes sense as she has a Native American ancestry.…

    In Fahrenheit 451, people like Mildred take sleeping pills to help themselves sleep or to commit suicide. In today’s society, people do the exact actions that are written in the book, with the exception of their medical protocols. For example, when someone overdoses in pills in the real world, the humane thing to do would be to call 911 and have the paramedics show up with their medical gear to help recover the patient at hand. However, since suicide is such a normal thing that happens in Montag’s community, all that shows up is two guys with a stomach pump and presto, the overdosed human is back to being a dull lived, uniformed slave to everyday life. Also, the cause of the suicide rate going up is due to the lack of creativity and the up rise in technology which can potentially happen to the real world. People in both worlds, develop these different feelings but are only allowed to express certain ones in selective situations, so they end up having bottled up emotions that never escape their minds. This type of mentality results in the depressive and suicide rates in the two worlds to infinitely increase.…

    All interesting authors expose their readers to experience the essence of the story. In this case, Toni Cade Bambara uses the illustration of her short story “The Lesson”, in order to convey the reality of a 1960’s ghetto, African American community through the eyes of a young girl named Sylvia. Sylvia is a young, fearless girl who has an audacious and outspoken nature despite her constant use of profanity and insulting judgments of Miss Moore. Moreover, Toni Bambara’s technique of literacy in this piece is written in a way that transport the readers to another cultural setting that is condemned by a helpless cycle of economic poverty, which Miss Moore attempts to prevent for the future generation. In addition, Toni Cade Bambara uses her colorful style of tone to express the realism and individualistic characteristic of the urban black community of the 1960s through the use of AAVE, which stands for “African American Vernacular English.” Through this unique style of writing, Toni Bambara’s goal is to challenge or even question society of its unfair economy.…

    The most interesting short stories that caught my undivided attention were: “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and “Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot” by Robert Olen Butler. These stories were both fascinating and intriguing in the sense that they made me feel like if I was the actual character. You could feel the pain and anguish the characters felt, even the desperation. It got to a point that I felt pity for the protagonist whom in both stories where narrating. Here we can see how someone can feel so desperate that they think the only way out is by taking their lives. Both Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Robert Olen Butler created an incredible form of fiction that makes you question if the scenes in the stories can truly happen in reality.…

    Everyday, stereotype is used in the society. Sometimes, when people use stereotype on other people, they don’t even recognize it because it’s so common and is ignored by the society. It’s a way to judge people through their common believes based on ethnicity, gender, skin color, appearance and language of the people who are being judged. For example, when people see a Vietnamese woman in her 20’s, 30’s and 40’s just migrated to America, they would assume that she will be working in a nail salon and flirt with some rich guys to get married with. Being stereotype is difficult deal with, and it’s really offended and hurtful. “The Myth of the Latin woman: I Just Met a Girl Named Maria” by Judith Ortiz Cofer and “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan share some common and different stereotypes that they had to go through. In the story “The Myth of the Latin Woman: I just met a Girl Named Maria”, Judith Cofer wrote about her experiences being stereotyped as a Latin woman. In “Mother Tongue,” Amy shared her personal experiences being stereotyped with her language’s barrier. Even though the two female authors shared the similarity for being stereotyped by the society, they faced different situations on the way they were stereotyped.…

    There is a rising trend in media reports of improper drug administration. For this reason, there is a demonstrated need for patient safety. As long as nurses are the health care professionals that administer medications to patients, they may face persecution from the public when medications are given in error. The Canadian Institute for Health Information, reports 1 in 10 people experience a medication error during hospital admissions (2007, p.18). This is a shocking trend if you factor in the rising number of people requiring hospital admissions. An article on CBC news has pointed out this rising problem. This article brought forth an incident in which a patient was given potassium chloride, which is the drug used in lethal injections, intravenously instead of the ordered sodium chloride, which lead to…
