Summary Of Eleven By Sandra Cisneros
In the text Eleven by Sandra Cisneros, it is noticeable that Rachel feels unsure of herself because of her age. She is 11 but she doesn’t feel 11 because of all of the emotions that burst during the whole writing. There are times where she feels 3 because she is sad and cries. And other moments when she actually feels 11 and that’s when she is happy and with her family. It is evident throughout the whole time she was happy with herself she feels confident and safe. She doesn’t think of past events but of her current life. However there are moments where she wished she was 108 because that way people will respect her for being older and wiser. But it is also clear that her teacher wasn't as mature even though she is older because she didn't

    In the summer of 1940, World War II had been in progress for nearly a year. Adolf Hitler was victorious and planning an invasion of England to seal Europe’s fate. Everyone in the United States of America knew it. The Germans were too powerful. Hitler's Luftwaffe had too many planes, too many pilots and too many bombs and since Hitler was Europe's problem, the United States claimed to be a neutral country (Neutrality Act of 1939). Seven Americans, however, did not remain neutral and that’s what this book is about. They joined Britain's Royal Air Force to help save Britain in its darkest hour to fight off the skilled pilots of Germany's Luftwaffe in the blue skies over England, the English Channel, and North Europe. By October 1940, they had helped England succeed in one of the greatest air battles in the history of aviation, the Battle of Britain. This book helps to show the impact of the few Americans who joined the Battle of Britain to fight off an evil that the United States didn’t acknowledge at the time. The name of Kershaw’s book was inspired from the quote, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to sow few,” which was said by British Officer and Prime Minister Winston Churchill.…

I picked five of these terms that I believe are the most important. Case management, Credentialing, informed consent, health record and performance improvement. Case-management is one of the most vital parts of any clinical faciality as it is through these individuals that the goals and livelihood of the patient are heard and responded to with corrective measures. The book describes this as an “ongoing review of clinical care conducted” safeguarding the patient against any treatment that is not in their best care (Fahrenholz, page 78 chapter 3).…
