He also saw faces when there weren’t any, like in fire hydrants and knobs on furniture. He didn’t think anything was wrong, until he developed diabetes, so he went to see a doctor. When he first talked to a neurologist, the neurologist noticed that he fixated on certain features of his face and faced him with his ears instead of his eyes. Through examination Dr. P mistook his wife for a hat, couldn’t identify people and couldn’t see pictures as a whole. He could only complete activities while singing to keep his mind on track.…

    In comparison to the boy’s misconception of Alzheimer’s, his family understands the natural process that is happening to his grandfather. The boy’s father attempts to console him by saying, “it’s not his fault he doesn’t know your face,” it is the fault of the disease. The father is teaching the boy that you have to look past the disease to see the man that his grandfather was, is, and will continue to be in passing. Though the disease has temporarily altered his grandfather’s state of mind, he remains the same man that sang to his wife, “Our hearts will beat as…

    “Plot is the series of events that connect the beginning to the ending” (King, 2011) Plot consists of five elements: the introduction, the rising action, the climax, the falling action and the resolution. The introduction is essentially when the audience is introduced to the diegesis and the time-frame in which the entire plot occurs. The rising action is the identification of the problem that prevents the main character’s success. The climax occurs when the problem seems insurmountable, or appears to be out of the main character’s powers.…

    Oliver Sacks wrote a collection of narratives titled, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, we see the suffering of those with neurological diseases, their attempts to cope with these diseases and the conclusions that Sacks makes on their conditions. Sacks is the physician in these narrative stories that tell about his studies of the person behind neurological deficits. Sacks’ interests are not only in the disease itself but also in the person. He writes these stories to teach the reader about the identity of the victims of neurological diseases. He describes the experience of the victim as he or she struggles to survive their disease. Oliver Sacks presents numerous stories where neurological disorders have completely impaired a person’s physical ability; the ability to remember, the ability to comprehend, the ability to speak and hear. These patients, despite their losses, never lost their spiritual ability. The ability to rejoice, to appear spiritually fulfilled, was never lost, just hidden. An example of this was seen in “The Lost Mariner”. Jimmie had suffered from amnesia and could not remember anything for more than two minutes, except things that were 30 years old. Jimmie had no continuity, no reality. He lived in the eighties, but his mind was in the thirties. Jimmie would erupt in panic attacks of confusion and disbelief, only to forget them a few minutes later. After frequent visits with Dr. Sacks, however, Jimmie began to find some continuity, some reality, in what Dr. Sacks referred to as “absoluteness of spiritual attention and act” , Jimmie’s spirit, regardless of the brain disorders, was never completely lost. The narrative “The Lost Mariner” proved to me that there really is a person beneath these neurological diseases. I had always believed that the disease almost became whom the person was and took over their life. In some cases that is true but this narrative made me realize that Jimmie…

    And we scrounged. Next to survival, scrounge was probably the most important word in our new vocabulary. We found a store that was throwing out water-damaged mattresses. Getting them home was a problem, since we had to make two trips, leaving Brad and Katie, armed with sticks to guard over the remained. I truly expected them to be challenged by some gang boss, but they said that the only person who came by was a scrawny little rat of a girl living alone. We let her have one of the mattresses.…
