  • Andrea Yates Case
    927 words
    Charged with five horrific murders, Andrea Yates faced the death penalty. Believed Satan controlled her, Mrs. Yates was convinced her children were not developing correctly and they needed to die to be saved. Andrea Yates admitted to drowning her children one by one after two years of contemplating this psychotic act. People cannot imagine the horror of what Yates did to her children, drowning them in the bathtub, one by one. Even chasing down the oldest one in order to do it. I believe that the...
  • Karen And Helmut's Relationship
    1,188 words
    In the novel Dangerous Spring, by Margot Benary-Isbert, conflict is a reoccurring theme between many characters and events that provides the driving force for actions in the story. The story takes place during the final days of World War II. Although this point in time provides the basis for the conflict, there are many other situations where conflict is shown. The main character, Karen Lorenz, experiences the most of this trouble. Conflict is the theme that is shown best in this story, because ...
  • Twyla's Feelings Toward Her Mother
    531 words
    "Recitatif", by Toni Morrison, is a profound narrative that I believe is meant to invite readers to search for a buried connotation of the experiences that the main characters, Twyla and Roberta, face as children and as they are reunited as adults. Some of the story's values and meanings involving race, friendship and abandonment begin to emerge as the plot thickens; however, more messages become hidden and remain unrecognized, even until the very last sentence. From the very first paragraph of ...
  • Plantain Medicine
    334 words
    Plantain - Medicine that Treats Everything Throughout years, I was taught to believe that the best medicine is not a pill, but a folk medicine. The most common folk medicine in my culture was plantain. This herb meant to help in a variety of sicknesses. For instance, when I got food poison followed by high fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, my mother prepared a tincture based on plantain, vinegar and salt. I had to drink 15 drops of this mixture every hour and after 5 hours the reaction of poisoning...
  • Play Oedipus Rex
    313 words
    OEDIPUS REX In the tragedy Oedipus Rex, Oedipus commits several immoral acts. Typically, society views these as evil and unjust. However, although Oedipus commits several licentious deeds, Sophocles makes the reader sympathize because Oedipus is oblivious to the incriminating facts. Throughout the play Oedipus Rex commits numerous crimes the society see as immorally wrong. Oedipus believes that if he leaves Corinth he will be able to avoid his fate. The oracle says the Oedipus will kill his fath...
  • Monkey Island And Missing May
    373 words
    Monkey Island and Missing May were both very well written fictional books. I did not think Missing May was believable though. I don't expect a child will relate to a young orphan girl whose uncle is trying to contact the spiritual realm in search of his wife, May. Monkey Island on the other hand was quite believable. It sounds like the thoughts of an 11-year-old boy whose parents deserted him. I feel he should have been angrier with his mother for acting like a child herself but then again he's ...
  • Main Character Mersaults Mother
    846 words
    Existentialism is the individual freedom of choice; in other words man is a conscious subject, rather than a thing. Of the many existentialistic themes, Camus strongly believed in absurdity. Camus opinion is that absurdity lies in the basic discord in the relationship between the human being and the universe. Thus, the human being discovers the absurdity of existence when he correctly perceives the universe. The absurdity of the human being is in its insecurity, rejections, agony, and also its d...
  • Cultural Traditions From My Mother
    657 words
    Personality is the characteristic of an individual involving attitudes, beliefs, values and behaviors. Personality traits determine how we adjust to our environment and how we react in certain situations. All this has to do with the debate against Nature versus Nurture. The debate is mainly if (nature) heredity, or inherited genetic characteristics affect our socialization or if it's (nurture) environment and social learning. Those who believe in the nature viewpoint believe that human behavior ...
  • Roger A Twenty Five Year

    Case Study: Roger Larkin My Case Study is on Roger a twenty five-year-old male who is behaving in a strange and violent way. He has gotten progressively worse since his father's death ten years ago.
