Teresa From The Kayak
If I could describe the protagonist Teresa from the “Kayak” in two words I would say she is calm and helpful. The reason why I believe Teresa is helpful is because she went to such far lengths to help a stranger (Jamie). Teresa made sure that she could do everything in her power to save Jamie even if that put her own life in danger: “One, two, three, heave I grunt, as I break the air pocket and lift the sail a couple of inches. It is enough to let Jamie out” (1 ). Jamie is very lucky that Teresa was there to save him, without he would be seriously injured or even dead. I also believe that Teresa is extremely calm because of all the scary situations she has been in. Specifically, when her kayak flipped over into the water: “My kayak flips. I’m

    Del Kathryn Barton was born in 1972 in Sydney, NSW. She started drawing as a little child, much to her father’s discouragement. Barton suffered from sensory disorders when young, and found that drawing freed her mind of any issues or stress. She would have extreme episodes of anxiety that only withheld when she was drawing. Del Kathryn Barton felt connected to art, feeling as though she was drawing from a place of freedom. But, it was only in her first pregnancy that Barton took up painting.…

    Bridget Bishop

    “The blackest chapter in the history of Witchcraft lies not in the malevolence of Witches but in the deliberate, gloating cruelty of their prosecutors.” When Theda Kenyon made this observation she was thinking about the atrocious behavior and actions that took place in Salem in 1692. During this tragic event neighbors were turned against one another and no bond was sacred. The men and women of Salem faced accusations from all directions and often the accusers were their close friends, business partners, and even their spouses. Panic filled Salem village and suddenly the slightest discrepancy in behavior became a reason to name someone as a witch. One of the greatest examples of how the hysteria brought upon lethal allegations for some of Salem’s citizen is the case of Bridget Bishop, the first person to be tried and executed for witchcraft in Salem.…

    Ann Carson

    Who is Ann Carson? Why do I have to read this anyway? I really didn’t see the point in it. For one thing, the writer lost me after the introduction. I was then asked to find the meaning in what Ann Carson was trying to say, to me. It was very hard reading Short Talks. Confusion twists and turns. It was like going through the “fun house at a carnival.” Just imagine. Before you go any further there’s a “big turning barrel” (her introduction) that already had me “slipping and sliding” and falling. I eventually crawled out of it. Then I climbed up the “rickety stairs made out of chains” (the next Short Talk). There 's the big goofy mirror” that’s all distorted and everything. Reading Short Talks again and again and again, seemed like an exercise in futility. Or, was it… really? One thing was certain. I seriously had a headache from the first readings.…

    Tracy Turnblad From Hairspray

    Tracy Turnblad from Hairspray is a beloved character who is not afraid to stand up for what she believes. She is the main character in the story Hairspray, which is about an oversized girl wanting to be on her favorite dance show. While trying to earn her spot, she has to face entitled, traditionally pretty girls who constantly make fun of her size and she has to help beat the oppression of racism because she believes that everyone is equal. This character is different than me because I have never been an “overweight” person before. I do not think that I will ever be very big, so I do not understand what trials she would have to go through in her life.…

    Since I was a little girl, I always dreamed of working in a place where I could make a difference in a person’s life. I feel that working in a small office environment will help me accomplish that dream. In a small office, staff always seems to be more personal and understanding of a patient needs or wants; as in a hospital or clinic staff have so many patients to deal with. I am more of a name with a face type of person rather than a face with a chart.…

    Christine Stansell

    The article “Women, Children, and the Uses of the Streets: Class and Gender Conflict in New York City, 1850-1860,” Christine Stansell argues that during the nineteenth century the streets of New York were grounds of different outlooks toward children. The kids who wandered the city streets such as playing, huckstering, and committing theft or homeless, were an indication of the typical middle class moral failure due to their parents. Moralists often saw the home as a sanctified area that protected children from the harm of society. Parents whom worked, often their children worked too and did not receive the family support that social reformers claimed were essential to their spiritual and moral improvement. In New York City, the success of these reformers in safeguarding public areas indicated both the control of the middle class and the idea of women being encouraging role models in the home.…

    Karen Daley

    Karen Daley, resident of Boston, Massachusetts holds a diploma in nursing from Catherine Laboure School of Nursing, a bachelor’s of science in nursing from Curry College, a master’s in public health from Boston University School of Public Health, a master’s in science and PhD in nursing from Boston College (American Nurses Association). In 2010, Daley was elected as President of the American Nursing Association, which is an organization representing the interests of the nation’s 3.1 million registered nurses (American Nurses Association). Despite working as a practicing nurse and nurse advocate, she is also a nurse researcher and writer. Daley has written numerous articles and currently is a reviewer for a couple of nursing journals. She is known for the legislation mandating the use of safer needle devices. Her testimony to the chairman explains why she had great concerns for safer needle devices. In July of 1998, while working in a hospital emergency department where Karen Daley had been a nurse for more than 20 years, she sustained a needle stick. After a routine occupational health follow-up five months later - two days before Christmas – she received the horrifying news that she might be HIV and Hepatitis C positive. Just before New Year’s of 1999 she was told both infections had been confirmed. She described that It was impossible for her to describe for us how that one moment - the moment when she reached her gloved hand into a needle box to dispose of the needle with which she had drawn blood - has drastically changed her life (Daley, 2000). This incident with her leads her to travel around the world to raise awareness among nurses and health care administrators about the importance of “needlestick prevention.” Her hard work and determination to pass a law paid off on November 6, 2000, when President Bill Clinton signed the “Needlestick Safety Prevention Act”, and Karen Daley was at the White House, who watched him sign the Act.…

    The Chrysalides

    During the course of the novel The Chrysalids we learned and traveled into the minds of some of the characters. All of the characters had their strengths (as well as weaknesses) but one character in particular seemed to keep her cool and lead her group of friends with a power known as ESP (extra sensory perception) away from a place known as Waknuk where they would be hunted and killed weren't it for the fact that they all looked like regular human beings. The name of the girl I speak of is Rosalind. She plays a very big part in the story even though most people don't pay much attention to the things she does, she in essence keeps the group together and keeps them alive because she is a determined, resourceful and self-reliant young woman.…
