A suspenseful and horrific piece of literature, “The Monkey Paw” is written by W.W Jacobs. A quaint family of three receives an unusual monkey paw that is capable of making any three wishes come true. Despite the caveat of a curse attached to the paw, the family chooses to make a wish, evoking from the story a suspenseful attitude as the reader becomes wrapped up in finding out the Smiths’ fated ends. With the combination of W.W Jacobs’ settings, characters, and foreshadowing, the theme of the story, “that fate cannot be decided upon by man” is delivered pointedly and with style.…
In life we don’t get to select our path. What happens to us is completely out of our hands. We can’t even choose what makes us feel whole again. While happiness isn’t exactly a choice, learning to cope with adversity is a start. In the novel The Things They Carried, some men like Rat Kiley could not deal the emotions war inflicts and drove themselves insane. Likewise, the young girl knew how to handle her emotions and was able to survive the loss of her loved ones. Life isn’t always about your given circumstances, but the way you react to them. Coping is one of the few things we can still…

As human beings we feel the need to find a point to everything. It is hard to believe that something just happens. Good things happen for a reason, just as bad things do. Suffering is no different, in our minds there must be a point to experiencing bad things. Thus, suffering makes us stronger by strengthening our personality, motivating us to be better, and teaching us to accept what cannot be changed.…

“You reach a point where you’re at the bottom of hell, yet you have your arms crossed and a smile on your face, and you feel you’re the luckiest person on earth. Why? Because at your feet you have a tiny dead fish” (Martel 217). Of course it is normal to feel as if it is better to just give up on life; everyone has been in a position where it is just too painful to keep going. However, the majority of the times these feelings stay as just a feeling, and people never take that extra step to actually give up. People who persevere through their pain understand that life should not be taken for granted. One must prove that he can withstand the difficulties that he might face throughout his life, then he shall be granted to continue his life, “Was there any reward greater that life?” (Martel…

When the clients arrive, we will begin by having each child sit on a blanket we will have laid on the ground in the front of the occupational therapy classroom. We will have them do this because in the back on the room, we will have an obstacle course set up for the group members to complete during the activity. We will start by welcoming our members to our group activity called Paw Patrol Ready for Rescue. We will then ask each child to please stay on their blanket we assigned them to. Then, we will begin by introducing ourselves and ask the group members to introduce themselves as well. Along with telling us their names, we will ask them their favorite Paw Patrol character. For our warm up, we will have 3 small, halloween cups with a cotton…
Suffering was not our natural state. Happy was the way we were meant to be.…
The Bible says “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God” also, God reveals that suffering carries with it a noble purpose: It should help us to grow in brotherly love, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians6:2) I think that when we support each other through suffering we form closer relationships. I believe that suffering is a part of life that needs to be embraced and that for me, I find comfort in knowing God allows suffering to serve a divine purpose. When we return to God it will bring an end to sadness and suffering. I suffer every day with anxiety. It makes me a better person because I know what it’s like to suffer, and because I suffer, I am a more compassionate person to others. I go out of my way to try to lift others in spirit because I know what it feels like to be down. I try to be a wonderful friend because I know how shortcoming in friends can be a letdown, and how having a good friend has kept me safe on bad days. I think sometimes when people don’t suffer they become self-centered and think they are above others. I think it is often when we suffer that we are drawn closer to our families and given a reality check. Suffering helps us to fulfill our potential as children of God (1John…
It’s extraordinary to think about how we take so much for granted - another belief we take for granted is that every night the stars will shine. When you wake up in the morning and make plans for the day, you never really contemplate those plans changing entirely in the blink of an eye. I had never thought much about it, personally, until I was faced with Death himself. I don't think anyone really contemplates tragedy until it knocks on their front door. In fact, it doesn’t even knock – it forces itself in and threatens to leave you with nothing but heartache and suffering for the remainder of your miserable life. Traumatic events can occur in numerous ways, at any time in one’s life. Some are lucky enough to get away with them. Unfortunately, I was not one of the lucky.…
The death of a pet can also become an upsetting and sad time, even though the pet is not human it will have become a big part of the family.

It can be very hard for adults who live alone as well as they see their pet as there only companion the death of the pet could bring back memories of losses they may have suffered in the past they may feel angry that when they love someone or something they seem to die leaving them alone again.…
There is a quote by Bernard Malamud, that states “life is a tragedy full of joy’. It shows life is never perfect and something tragic is almost always happening, but you have to surround yourself with the joy life offers and surround yourself with the ones who you love. Asking for help is necessary in times of tragedy .…
There is a river called MuLing nearby the village which my grandparents lived in. Every spring festival(the most important festival in China) my parents took me to my grandparents’ house, so did my cousins’ families.The river was frozen in winter ,so my cousin sister and I played one game we called “pa li” like sled.I sat on a wooden car with two steel plates on the bottom ,then my cousin sister held the rope and pulled the wooden car. She ran on the ice river very fast, my car did it also. Sometimes we fell down the ice ground, we stood up and continued to play. I didn’t fell any pain. Now, I think the happiness may cover pain sometimes.…
