Why Is Grey's Anatomy Important To Me
Everyone has that one favorite show they absolutely love to watch. They always make sure nothing is schedule in the way of when their show is going to be on during that weekdays. That is even how some get through their week, knowing that on a certain day they get to relax and watch a good television show. For me, that television show would have to be Grey’s Anatomy. Every Thursday night I make sure I have nothing planned from seven to eight in the evening. I watch it so much I believe I could perform an appy, also known as appendectomy, if someone needed me too. But in the end, Meredith Grey has been through so much in the past eleven seasons hat I have learned many life lessons from watching Grey’s Anatomy. If you have watched Grey’s Anatomy …show more content…

It’s like a saying some say, dress well test well. Some just have superstitions that they have to stick too. For instance, in my life during post season of softball, we always wear the exact same uniform. We wore black even though it was ninety degrees outside in June. The example in Grey’s Anatomy is when every time someone dies in surgery Addison Montgomery Shepard gave the surgeons who were involved a cup of hot chocolate and that was her juju, you had to drink it. If you did not accept it like Meredith Grey did once, then your next patient was going to die as well until you drank it all. Meredith Grey had a surgery with Addison and their patient sadly did not make it. Addison always heard two other surgeons were not having such good days and their patients died. Addison went around and got everyone hot chocolate who was involved in those surgeries, meaning she gave one to Meredith Grey. Grey did not accept it because Addison was with Derek and she thought she was maybe trying to poison her or something, she threw it away. Merediths very next patient died because she dissed the juju. So everyone relies on weird and different superstitions because we do not always have an answer for every little thing in life. Life works in mysterious ways some times, so it makes us think that we can not diss on the

    Meredith and Elizabeth’s headstrong personalities have made them powerful characters in Grey’s Anatomy and Pride and Prejudice. This is shown when Meredith held a live bomb inside of a patient so they could safely excise it. Her job was significant because she had to make sure it would not detonate and kill everyone. She was only concerned about the wellbeing of her room mates and making sure they could continue to live in the house in the event of her death. In the stress of the situation she expressed, “ George and Izzy shouldn’t have to move out of the house… make sure they get to stay in the house.” This is similar to Elizabeth Bennet due to the fact she was willing to walk alone for 3-5 miles in order to care for her sister. “Elizabeth,…

    Grey's Anatomy has taught me personally so many medical terms I would have never learned without watching the show like hematoma which is the swelling of clotted blood within the tissues of the brain. The series shows real life scenarios with patients and doctors. You get to see first hand what happens in a trauma, a surgery, organ transplant and everything that takes place in a hospital. The show also teaches different medical jobs like an anesthesiologist, physicians, nurses, pharmacy, chief of surgery,…

    Customs help people distinguish the relation between actions and their consequences (Hume 29). One example Hume provides is that children learn that a flame will burn based on conditioning of customs, and not from reasoning. Perhaps he could have imagined that the flame would feel squishy and cold, which would be categorized as fiction according Hume. However, once the child experienced the searing pain of the flame first-hand, he’s conditioning of customs would begin to form. Therefore, when the child goes to touch a flame again, he can recall the specific instance when he was burned, turning this thought into a belief. Therefore, customs are the crucial link between what allows people to separate reality from…

    Have you ever watched a television show and wondered exactly how realistic it is? An award winning drama called Grey’s Anatomy aired in 2004. It is a medically-based show that follows the lives of a multitude of doctors, nurses, surgeons, and other medical professionals at Seattle Grace Hospital. The main character’s name is Meredith Grey. The storyline is based upon her rise from intern to surgeon along with the lives of the people who surround her at the hospital. Grey’s Anatomy can be compared to reality. We can compare them to one another through scandals which are happening within the hospital, the medical cases which are brought into the emergency room, and the doctor patient relationships that occur.…

    Even though humans are indisputably flawed, writers have historically portrayed women as perfect beings. Throughout centuries of literature, women have been frequently idealized and stereotyped as seen in Robert Browning’s “Porphyria’s Lover” in which the woman is described as “perfectly pure and good” (26). This depiction of women in art has created an image that women in the real world cannot live up to: perfect, too gorgeous, always calm and gentle. Though, as times have changed, so has the portrayal of women. In contemporary times, with gender equality progression, the portrayal of women in art medias has become more realistic.…

    Personally, I do not believe in superstitions because I don’t want my quality of life to be determined by sayings that others truly believe in. In Julius Caesar, they believed that bad weather meant that the gods were angry with them and that if scavenger birds loomed around your head then your death was encroaching. Weather, in general, is something that I very much enjoy learning about, so I refuse to disregard everything that I’ve learned about clouds to say, “Oh it’s just the gods, they are angry with me”. Furthermore, I do not believe in superstitions because they shape the way you think for a long time. For example, if you break a mirror and believe that you have bad luck for seven years, then you will refuse to accept anything good happens…

    According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, superstition can be defined as a belief or practice resulting from ignorance, fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation. This idea is dealt with several times throughout The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. At the beginning of chapter ten, Twain brings up the idea of superstition. He writes, “Jim was laid up for four days and nights. Then the swelling was all gone and he was around again. I made up my mind I wouldn’t ever take a-holt of a snake-skin again with my hands, now that I see what had come of it. Jim said he reckoned I would believe him next time” (Twain 71). This quote is important for two different reasons- it brings up the recurring idea of superstition among the characters and how it is such a crucial part of who they are, and it shows how superstition allowed the characters to ultimately come…

    Why did I choose to talk about British traditions and superstitions? Because I believe that they are a good way of discovering people and they help you understand their beliefs, behaviour and habits. With their help you can enter the British world and become a part of it even though figuratively speaking. Every nation has its own traditions and superstitions. So, the British couldn’t have been an exception. The British are one of the people whose superstitions and traditions are known worldwide and have become quite famous. Who hasn’t heard about the tradition of drinking tea, about all the traditions regarding the royal family, about Robin Hood or the Loch Ness monster, about King Arthur and his knights, about Christmas customs, about Halloween or about St. Valentine’s Day? The British are traditional people. They actually have customs for almost each day of the year and put a lot of soul into their organization and treat each of them with respect and seriousness. But, the British people are at the same time people who…
