Summary Of William Carlos Williams The Use Of Force

Show More
In “The Use of Force” of William Carlos Williams, narrator forces Mathilda to open her mouth by physical power, but I agree with his actions for many reasons. Firstly, there’s no other way to make
Mathilda open the mouth. According to the story, the doctor has tried his best with the appropriated ways to make the girl open her mouth, but she hasn’t opened her mouth. Thus, I think it’s suitable for the doctor for using his physical strength to make the child open the mouth. Another reason is that the girl deserves the way to open her mouth because she is disobedient to her parents and the doctor. I think she needs the lesson to make she be obedient to her parents. Thus, the way that the doctor does may remind her that she should agree

    'An Analysis Of Carly's Voice'

    In the book, she talks about how the doctors don’t know what it is like to have autism and therefore is lacking in knowledge only one with the disorder could have. Carly says, “Why go to a duck to find out what’s wrong with a horse when you can go straight to the horse’s mouth?” I love this line and think there is so much truth in it. Doctors can guess and think that they know, but only those with the disorder really know best what they are experiencing.…

    Slow Code Case Study

    Healthcare Rationing Based on Futility Why Not a Slow Code? Slow Code is the use of minimal medical intervention in cases that are considered futile: some resuscitative measures are used, so long as they are non-aggressive. Minimal or slow-to-respond staff is also considered slow code. This means that medical personnel would respond slowly to an individual in need of CPR, administering shallow chest compressions and omitting the use of a defibrillator. There is a hustle and bustle surrounding the patient; buttons are pushed and medical personnel go through the motions of saving the patient.…

    Beethoven, Bach, and Mozart are all composers that are universally known whether you like that specific genre of music or prefer listening to modern day artists. These particular composers have transcended the test of time because their music is taught in music classes currently and many composers have crafted their art by gaining inspiration from their music.

    William Appleman Williams The Tragedy Of American Diplomacy

    William Appleman Williams’ essay The Tragedy of American Diplomacy centers around America expansion, and the idealistic and economic motivators which inspired it. Williams frames his narrative with his critique of the idea that expansion was one of the main ways in which America could extend its virtues throughout the world, and create a new era of peace. He decides the true tragedy of American diplomacy is that actions undertaken in the name of humanitarianism, self determination, and peace actually work in opposition to those ideals and instead turn the United States into an oppressive force abroad. While the United States may have desired to help others, they believed the only way they could do so was if they maintained authority over the nations they helped. The reason this occurred, Williams argues, is because expansionism has a large role in American mythos but both policy makers and citizens refuse to reconcile expansion with the idea of becoming an empire.…

    The author tries to meet her mother’s expectations at first. She decides not to respond to her attempt of finding her prodigy after seeing her mother being disappointed with her poor performance at her piano recital (Tan, 391). There is a moment where she has a shouting match between her and her mother when she cries out “Why don’t you like me the way I am?

    Girl By Jamaica Kincaid Essay

    A Woman’s Worth "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid reveals the overwhelming pressure on young women to look and act in certain ways in order to please men and society.
