In James Hurst’s short story entitled “The Scarlet Ibis,” Doodle’s brother, the protagonist, changed his attitude from proud to ashamed to illustrate the message that people who experience pride toward another often experience a change in perspective due to that pride. Hurst highlights this when, at the end of the story, the protagonist pushed Doodle to do many activities that Doodle could not do because of his weak heart. Doodle’s brother wanted Doodle to be like everyone else because the protagonist did not want to be embarrassed by his younger brother’s condition. When the narrator was walking with Doodle to the river, he mentioned that “Time was short, and Doodle still had a long way to go if he was going to keep up with the other boys…
Another character trait that I would use to describe Salva is that he is a very worryful person who seems to worry about a lot of things that others may not be concerned about. This is evident because in the book, Slava was worried about his family: if they were injured or killed or if they were taken to help fight the war and he was worried if he’d ever see them again. He was also worried about being eaten by a lion which was very unlikely because his uncle and others learned from that. He also worried that he won’t make it to the camp when he chipped his nail and needed the reassurance of his uncle, that he was alone when his old group left him although he found a old woman to live with and he was worried that they wouldn’t make it when his…
To illustrate, the Holocaust began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany. However, it came to an end when the Nazis were defeated by the Allied powers in 1945. This was a very tough and critical time especially for Jewish people. Approximately two-thirds of the Jews living in Europe were killed by the Nazis and about 11 million people were killed in all, six million of these were Jews. These poor people were put in all kinds of different camps, including concentration, extermination, labor, prisoner-of-war, and transit camps.…
The Athenians had fled to Salamis after the Battle of Thermopylae in August, 480 BC, while the Persians occupied and burned their city. The Greek fleet joined them there in August after the indecisive Battle of Artemisium. The Spartans wanted to return to the Peloponnese, seal off the Isthmus of Corinth with a wall, and prevent the Persians from defeating them on land, but the Athenian commander Themistocles persuaded them to remain at Salamis, arguing that a wall across the Isthmus was pointless as long as the Persian army could be transported and supplied by the Persian navy. His argument depended on a particular interpretation of the oracle at Delphi, which, in typical Delphic ambiguity, prophesized that Salamis would "bring death to women's…

behaviours and feelings when working with patients that abuse alcohol. Ragaisis (2004) outlines that working with patients in this group will typically activate a response in the nurse and advises nurses to ask themselves a series of reflective questions such as have I ever experienced a significant event associated with stroke? Or what thoughts or feelings do I have towards my patient’s condition? The Code (2015) includes treating people with kindness, respect and compassion, Ragaisis’s personal reflection request will help nurses to meet this element of their nursing practice and deliver high quality, professional care (NMC 2015). Oral health assessment tool (OHC) is a tool designed to help all health care professionals working with stroke…
The story happens on the most sultry day of the late spring and rotates around Sal's Famous Pizzeria, clearly the main white-claimed business in the Brooklyn neighborhood in which the film is set. Sal and his two children, Nino and Vito, are not without their bigot inclinations (particularly Nino), but rather they all things considered figure out how to exist together with their dark customers. In the initial seventy five percent of the film Lee wonderfully builds up the tone and composition of the area by acquainting us with a progression of intriguing characters whose lives discontinuously meet. Among the most essential are Mookie, who fills in as a pizza conveyance man for Sal's; Da Mayor and Mother Sister, the area's senior statespeople; Radio Raheem, whose continually blasting box is a wellspring of consistent bothering for Sal; and Buggin' Out, who in his outrage regarding Sal's mass of notoriety including solely Italian Americans will inevitably ask his kindred African The characters always regret the warmth as they at the same time move gradually so as not to apply any more exertion than…

When Sedaris finally finds himself taking his Mother’s advice to check himself, the one thing that distracts him from this self-reflection is the television. For example, when he says “here is a boy sitting on a bed, his mouth smeared with chocolate. He's a human being, but also he's a pig, surrounded by trash and gorging himself so that others may be denied. Were this the only image in the world, you'd be forced to give it your full attention, but fortunately there were others. This stagecoach, for instance, coming round the bend with a cargo of gold.…
