Parallelism In Steven Tyler's Song Love Lives
The element of parallelism is manipulated in Steven Tyler’s song “Love Lives” to relay Tyler’s unrelenting ache to again be face to face with Alice in his very own Wonderland.
Because of his band’s legendary collapse, he was forced into an addiction recovery program of which he completed over twenty years ago. Although he is still one hundred percent drug-free to date, he still experiences the withdrawals that occur while actively recovering. He reveals the intense separation forced between himself and his tainted past through the contrasting ideas present in parallelism. When he uses these elements, he creates a sense of deep yearning to return to his euphoric state of drug

    The book “Hooked” by Dr Lonny Shavelson is a fascinating read regarding the rehabilitation of 5 individuals (Mike, Darlene, Crystal, Darrell, and Glenda) dealing with heroin, meth, crack, and alcohol abuse. In the memoir, Dr Shavelson follows these 5 participants through their everyday dealings with the network of recovery facilities in San Francisco during the “open-door” policy implemented in the 1990’s, allowing addicts to seek treatment if they wanted. From what I gather, he noticed the chaotic nature of these participants replicated and correlated the with chaotic nature of the rehabilitation system in San Francisco during that time. In the following paragraphs, I will attempt to explain the issues related to alcohol and substance abuse…

    After Colin’s death, Mark goes into a state of denial and his build-up of guilt causes him to have a mental breakdown along with signs of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Deep into the novel, Mark retells the story of the ’Boy from Beirut’ to Joaquin and he explains how it was his fault that the boy is dead. This affected Mark in many ways as it left in an emotional trauma and self-isolation state that made it hard for Mark to open up to others again. As Joaquin and Mark explore the depths of this memory, Joaquin said “You never pass over them [our pains]. You carry them with you forever. That is what it means to live”(p.124). The ideology behind this is everyone must learn to live with the pain through their lives. This helps Mark to unlock the guilt that he is hiding away and that there is only one person that can only truly forgive him...himself. After this moment, Mark’s heart and mind are opened and he learns how to forgive himself for his actions that took place during that…

    The decision to go to drug rehabilitation for most people is either forced upon them by the law, family, or ultimatums. It can be assumed that those addicts will be the least successful in their journey through recovery. However, another smaller percentage of addicts want to recover from their addiction because it is their choice to change their life style and better themselves. It can be assumed that their desire to recover will lead them to become the most successful patients. In A Million Little Pieces by James Frey, James faced the same dilemma: Does he really want to get better or does he want to drown himself in drugs? Throughout the memoir, James struggles to come to a conclusion while facing demons from his past that were waiting for him when he became sober. Not only did he have to deal with his past but he also had to deal with other addicts who frankly did not want to be in rehab. Another part of rehabilitation that was difficult for James was following the structure of the 12 Steps program which was adopted by the rehabilitation center. As James saw it, by adopting the 12 Step program he was simply replacing one addiction for another. There were also aspects of the 12 Steps that James disagreed with and refused to follow. He saw himself as being the exception to the rule and intended to get through rehabilitation on his own terms. Once he was released from rehab, James tested himself. This test consisted of him going to a bar, having the bar keep pour him a large glass of whiskey, and tempting himself.…
