1987 in literature

During the 1980’s, Stephen King wrote The Eyes of the Dragon for his little girl because she wasn’t exactly a fan of the books he normally wrote. A majority of his fans rejected the book because it wasn 't up to par with the present horror in his previous writing. In the book, Misery, Paul Sheldon feels the same way. Trapped in the stigma of Misery Chastain and feels as if he can 't escape it. But, when Paul Sheldon does attempt to write something different like Fast Cars, Annie Wilkes, his #1 fan of the Misery series, retaliated by burning the only copy. Misery is a psychological thriller because it relies on the characters’ fears and abnormal psyche to frighten the readers. This is shown through Paul Sheldon 's constant fear of Annie Wilkes and her whirlpool of emotions along with his fear of her power and control. This novel was written around the time of the feminist movement and the post-reaction to feminism was a fear of women and the power they could possess. This had never happened before for women, it was scary for the men and for the women. The novel, Misery, is about how psychological issues such as Schizotypal, if untreated, can lead to the harm of the individual and others around them and the importance of diagnosing it early on in our society. There are multiple types of mental disorders ranging from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) to Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), but, the most present mental disorder in Stephen King’s Misery is…

Hello Ms. Finkelman, I would like to express my sincere thanks that you have taken time out of your schedule to work with me on my Vocational Rehabilitation Case. I’m aware that you made an exception to your busy schedule to even see me on Monday, 26 October, at 10:30 am. That is why I wanted to ensure that I express my thoughts to you in a written correspondence that you might reference in my absence. Requesting vocational rehabilitation services to attain a doctoral degree is not the normal;…

the NBA would be the only possible thing I would be able to do in life. It did not happen and I was kind of lost for a point in my life with not knowing what to do with myself. After I graduated high school I decided eventually to go play basketball at the local junior college and it just didn’t feel the same for me and I lost a lot of confidence in myself in about everything. For the first time in my life I quit a team which was a huge mistake and something I should have stuck out and did…

While this past month has not been easy for me to keep up with my personal niyamas, it has definitely allowed me to gain a deeper insight into myself and learn some new things along the way. My first niyama I chose to focus on was purity. While everyone can always strive to eat better of exercise more, I wanted to do something personal and something I have been effected by for a long time. I have been biting my nails for longer than I can remember, and I know my nails are too short. I am…

Being involved in the community will change ones life. It was my senior year in high school until I realized what happens when one gets involved in their community. Being involved in the Miracle League not only helped the kids, it helped me as a person. I still remember the first time I went to the Miracle League. It was a tradition of my baseball team to go to the Miracle League once a year. I was nervous, and did not know what to expect. It was a steaming hot…

I’m honestly tired of trying so hard, i know it’s extremely obvious that i have feelings for him and everyone can tell, however my infatuation with him is strong and obsessive, i miss him, i want him, but i can’t have him. He doesn’t want me as i want him and that’s what hurts the most, seeing him every single day just living his life hurts. It incapacitates me because i’m no longer in it, It kills because when i see him smile or laugh it’s not because of me. How can someone be by your side and…

Have you ever found ten dollars laying on the ground? What did you do with those ten dollars? Majority of society will be dishonest and take the money. They may use it for whatever they please. The minority of society will have the integrity to give the money to authorities or leave it where they found it. This shows that integrity is more than being honest; it is showing moral traits, your response on how you show integrity or if you don’t show none. Integrity is doing something good or morally…

I had a considerable day and night after we spoke. I immediately had a family meeting where some brutal honesty came into play for all of us. I heard everything you said, your concerns, and more so disappointment. I think that’s the part that hurt the most. In fact writing this saddens me. I do believe before I came to your home I was lost and still very much so learning. In all, from the moment I got the home my main objective was to keep this gem, raise Grace and not upset the process. That…

The ground was shaking. I stood still for a brief moment. It was a herd buffalo running towards a cliff. They were running through the field, as if it was away from someone. I took a second glance and saw that it was my people which the buffalo were running away from. Everyone that was in my band was chasing after the buffalo, including my daughter. Had I known that they were going on a hunt I would have gone with them. It was in that moment that I knew something didn’t feel right. In Alberta,…
