The Tragic Saturday Working in palliative care, I have been by the bedside of many dying patients; I have been there for their last breath. Comforting families while they grieve is hard, but rewarding. I am often told by friends and family that they could not do what I do and that I have a gift. This gift, the ability to care for others when they are no longer able to care for themselves, is what made the decision to move my father-in-law, Harald, into our home an easy one. After being…
The first child I choose was Jonah, who has the severe hearing impairment. The modifications that I would have to make in my environment would maybe to have words hanging around the room so I can point at them with him so he can understand me.

It quickly went from a nice, fun, vacation to a painful, terrible, nightmare. Just about every year before school starts while my mom has meetings for teachers, my dad takes my sister and I on a small, five day trip to different places. This year, we decided to go to St Louis. Little did I know that this trip would soon turn south very, very, fast. It was the middle of August, 2013. I believe it was around the 13th. My dad, sister, and I were on our way to St Louis to do various activities…

When Dennis walked in, Mac pointed to the back of the store. The door of the men’s bathroom was slowly creaking open. Just then the door swung wide, and a man appeared.

Discussion Points: This play makes me upset. While I do enjoy reading it and watching clips of the movie in class, I find the patriarchal thinking and domestic abuse to be frustrating to read. I know the play was written during a different time period where these actions and thoughts were normal, however, I get frustrated with the characters as I read about them. I hope that at the end of the play, Stella is able to finally leave Stanley and his abusive tendencies and seek a new life with her…
