In this attention grabbing, brillaintly plotted, and elegantly written book, D. T. Max shows us what happens when the insomnia doesn’t end, no matter how aggressive the medical intervention or sedative prescription is. He tells the story of an Italian family that for at least 200 years has been plagued by an extremely rare hereditary disorder that destroys the brain’s capacity to fall asleep. Ultimately, if you stop sleeping altogether, you will probably end up suffering; effects include losing all bodily control and finally a horrible death. Although science may not yet understand the purpose of slumber, fatal familial insomnia, the author suggests, it could be “the worst disease in the world.”…
First of all, Lang had used more credible and primary sources then Epstein in their arguments. “Marvin Green, 19, suffers from sleep apnea, a condition characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep. He was not diagnosed until he was 17 years old” (Lang 52-53). Also, “Mikaela Espinoza, 17, always used to sleep with her phone at her bedside, just in case a friend called or text-messaged her in the middle of the night. Sometimes, she said, she would receive calls or messages as late as 3 a.m.--and she would wake right up to call or text right back” (Lang 19-22). These primary sources from Lang conveys to us that she supports her argument more successfully by using actual people suffering from lack of sleep. It shows that Lang can be more credible and trustworthy than Epstein.…

It was interesting to hear, and see, what kind of challenges that deaf people faced. One of the people I found interesting was. A hearing French professor had brought the language from France and that was how it signing had started. I thought that was interesting, because not only was it a long time to create a form of communication for the deaf community; they were also mistreated for their inability to communicate with the rest of the world. Another person that I found interesting, was Alexander Gram Bell, had a wife and mother, who were deaf. On top of that, it was startling at first, to hear that the deaf community treated him as a sort of “boogeyman.” I found it fascinating that he is well known in a hearing class for inventing the telephone, but in the deaf class, he is known for starting the Oralism form of communication in the deaf community. Along with that, Bell fought against having sign language being taught, because he felt that it was a “borrowed language.” Instead he wanted the people community to learn to speak and read lips. It was interesting to hear, because I assumed that most people who were deaf just learned sign language for their communication.…
The Bluest Eye is a complex novel written by Toni Morrison, an African American literary theorist. Morrison evokes a society still plagued by the premise of slavery and the exposes this mode of white inferiority through The Bluest Eye. “Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love of a free man is never safe”, Morrison endows these last couple of sentences with a lyrical quality that makes the readers truly understand the depth of Cholly’s character and the “freeness” he experiences. Morrison initially introduces Cholly Breedlove as the antagonist, a drunk and very abusive father; any man who would beat his wife, set his house on fire and rape his daughter couldn’t…

Both the wife and husband has work at seven, and so they go to sleep, soon after they eat dinner. The husband sometimes, due to overweight issues, has sleep apnea.

Due to this, the wife sometimes, does not get enough rest, and at times stays alerted. But nobody in the family takes sleeping…
College students like myself often put off sleep for other activities like studying, doing homework or even just staying up all night with a friend. Our body follows the twenty-four hour cycle of each day and night through a biological clock called the Circadian rhythm. On the weekdays, staying up all night and skipping meals makes it difficult to focus in class. After lunchtime, I become sleepy and have difficulty focusing on my other classes. In the afternoon, this affects my body because it does not give me energy, but instead it makes me crash earlier in the day.…
