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…

There is an echo of bewilderment from the literature when it comes to the research on the college success of African American students and specifically the African American women (Howard-Vital, 1987; Strayhorn, 2011; Winkle-Wagner, 2015). Societal perceptions among all races and ethnic groups in America have been overwhelmingly negative toward African Americans, and these perceptions carry over into the classroom and all areas of society. It is from the political, economic, and educational…

The author illustrates through the chapter that the monsters in literature are really depictions of mankind’s own faults and deeply rooted capability of malice, consequently, when they show up in literature, it is not for the sole purpose of spicing up the plot. Many of the monsters in literature serve as cautionary tales to remind people, especially the youth, that many of life’s dangers come from within or out of someone else’s selfishness. In the book, vampires are associated with the…

This literature review will examine the pre-existing research undertaken on family presence during adult resuscitation (FPDAR) to determine health professional attitudes and experiences in critical care environments regarding FPDAR within Europe.

In “Teaching, Learning, and Millennial Students,” Maureen E. Wilson (2004) in her article published in New Directions for Student Services examines the literature to make recommendations to educators on how to enhance teaching and learning in college. Wilson (2004) is no newcomer to the classroom; in fact, she uses her expertise and experience as a student affairs director to cite evidence from scholars and experts in education and learning effectiveness to document how good practices in…

of prison rates and production modes was significantly neglected. Hogg mentions that Rusche and Kirchheimer’s thoughts over-stated the conditions within the labor market, when they should have been focusing more on the possible relationship between capitalism and incarceration. The mention of the New York State Penal System above serves, in Hogg’s analysis, an even further limitation of Rusche and Kirchheimer’s work. The actual labor intensive work that was used within the walls of the prison…

Horrified at the lack of information available in Cairns on the new disease killing his friends and acquaintances, Bert Gerbrands began giving out HIV/AIDS literature in 1982. Declaring gays, prostitutes, and drug users unwelcome in Queensland, Premier Bjelke-Petersen declared that information on the disease would just promote and encourage vice, and therefore his government would not provide such information. Fortunately, Bert’s long time friend, well known STD and AIDS Specialist, Dr. David…

suggested that children enter the world biologically programmed to form personal attachments with a caregiver which affects them later on in life in order to survive. Another study performed by Simon and Baxter (1993) found that “securely attached individuals use more prosocial maintenance than individuals in other attachment groups” (Dainton). In this experiment they were looking to see the extent to which attachment relates to how couples handle maintenance in a relationship. What did the…
