    Antonio, like an oscillating pendulum, was moving constantly between fixed points, and Ultima grabbed hold of him and put him to rest, in the middle of the two points. This idea is represented by this image, with the scorching sun of the wild llano juxtaposed with the soft grass cascaded by the luminescence of the moon; the Luna and the Marez. But now in between these two opposites does not stand Ultima. It is Antonio between the Luna and the Marez; he holds his eyes closed with a peaceful stature, displaying his utmost care for each side in the middle ground between. Behind him, in the distant sea, are eyes, undoubtedly the eyes of Ultima’s owl which watch him closely.…

    After reading about Dr. Gerald Napoles’s impressive background, rise to the presidency in a short amount of time and his ability to utilize a servant leadership framework, gives hope to new leaders in the community college arena.

    Beli’s efforts to forget the violence of her early life reflect a greater effort of the Dominican people trying to separate themselves from the Trujillo legacy through forgetting and selective memory. Beli, “Embraced the amnesia that was so common throughout the Islands, five parts denial, five parts negative hallucination” (Diaz 259). As Monica Hanna states, “Forgetting is a seductive prospect when memory seems only to recall pain, but this consistently proves to be a very dangerous choice” (506). Rather than dealing with the pain of a violent past, people choose to forget it and unacknowledged it. Rather than resist, the characters fall victim to the power of fukú.…

Mr. Balestrero experiencing a little quiver of uneasiness, asked what they wanted.” Hitchcock cannot transfer these elements directly into his film because they are not talking about what is happening but as stated, how it is happening through details.…

    In the world of film and cinema today, image and sound are consistently shown to have an intertwined relationship. Often times, the images shown off screen are seemingly meaningless without the sounds surrounding them, and vice versa. In a perfect world, these two aspects of film are combined to complement the story that is being presented, as each brings a side to the story that the other cannot provide. The way that sound is used can often evoke a different meaning to the image on the screen. When sound is used correctly in a film, it is meant to bring out emotion from the viewer about the images shown on-screen.…

    Lazareth and Folkman have developed a “model of stress” which describes that stress is caused by an imbalance between the demands placed upon us and our coping resources to meet these demands. *Reference. For older people it can often be the case that resources are harder to obtain in order to reduce stress in their lives and the additional challenges of ageing can impact this greatly. I have a good relationship with my 84 year old peruvian neighbour who I observe to cope less and less well with life stressors. In the time that I have been her neighbour and friend her health has deteriorated due to the general ageing process and consequently her coping resources have become harder to access.…
