    Tangerine Literary Analysis In the book Tangerine, Paul’s mother made many choices that changed the story in several ways. There were many occasions where she lied to Paul, and when he found out the truth, it caused a bigger problem. If she told Paul the truth from the beginning, there wouldn’t be such a big problem, but she waited until Paul found out. I believe that Mrs. Fisher wants to do good with Paul, but a lot of her choices lead to bad impacts.…

    1. What, if anything, did you feel the book was missing? Was there more you wish you could have learned about this “character”?

    While reading short stories, narrators provide insight and point of view to the reader. Specifically, I think Sammy the narrator from “A&P” and the 12-year-old boy narrator in “The Secret Lion” have good amount about each other to compare to one another. In “A&P” the narrator is Sammy who is a 19-year-old boy who is a cashier at a local supermarket. While the 12-year-old boy who is the narrator in “The Secret Lion” is just a middle schooler who is getting caught up in all the big changes that occur at that age. While the characters differ in age, you can still relate by how they act towards their current situations.…

    September 11, 2001 was a day that shook America to its core, but to me, it had little meaning. Though, it probably should have. My dad is a pilot for United Airlines and he was piloting a flight on this dreadful day. As if it wasn’t bad enough that he was in the air, he was in the same airspace as the hijackers that took over the first plane to hit the towers.…

    I chose the book Crazy: A Father’s Search through America’s Mental Health Madness by Pete Earley. Earley had been an award-winning journalist for thirty years and written about America’s criminal justice system but always from the “outside looking in” (p. 1). That all changed, however, when his son Mike was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The central theme of Crazy is chronicling Earley’s year-long investigation into the de-institutionalization and ensuing criminalization of the mentally ill in America along with his son’s and others’ stories weaved throughout. Starting with Mike’s first psychotic breakdown, it is his story that becomes the genesis and nexus for this book.…

    Researchers assume we like to watch these types of movies for different reasons, which comprise getting a charge out of the adrenaline surge, occupied from everyday life, vicariously showing contempt for social standards, and appreciating a voyeuristic look at the horror from a safe distance. The sense of that would consider itself as common, due to the fact that Michaels aggressiveness and sick in the head actions. Michael not running demonstrates the gathering of people that none of his prey will surpass him – one of the chilling parts to Michael 's persona.

    “The Blind Side” is a film depiction of the life of NFL left tackle, Michael Oher and his miraculous transition from being a homeless teen to becoming an NFL first round draft. The film follows the development of Michael as he is taken off the street by the Tuohy’s and with their support became involved with football. I chose this film because it portrays the social and behavioural development of a teen without a stable upbringing and how it affects his relationship and encounters with others. The movie does not only show the development aspect of one stage of adolescence but follows Michael’s character from childhood to his adult years. As well, the movie forms basis of comparison between Michael and the Tuohy children.…

    Model of Family Therapy The Experiential Family Therapy model is a theory that was developed by the practitioners of Carl, Whitaker, Walter Kempler and Virginia Satir. With the Experiential Family Therapy Model, the goal of the therapist is to catalyze the natural drive of the family to reach growth and the full potential of the individual members of the family. Still, the individual practitioners allowed their personality to be instrumental in the success of their unique forms of Experimental Family Therapy, although their focus and goals were similar (Goldberg, 2013). Because of the importance of the individual personality in the success of a model, Whitaker’s Symbolic-Experiential Family Therapy (S-EFT) was selected and will be argued for…
