In July 1994, I was involved in an accident, and in this accident I lost the end of my right middle finger. So the story I’m about to tell you is true. On this particular day I was working at the United States Postal Service at 7117 W. Harry I had just been assigned to work with Rick Sifford. Rick and I were to move some three-inch angle iron. I think there were about 20 feet long so that equates to a lot of weight, far more than was safe for two people to move. I forget how many pieces of iron…

I have read Theodore Roethke’s poem “My Papa’s Waltz” several times, and every I tend to find new insights in it. It is the same old story where a father comes home drunk and mistreats his family. That’s what a reader would think after one reading of it. I expressed I can relate to the son and father’s relationship, along with some of the emotions expressed in the poem. As any poem that you read, it can interpret something different or the same depending on the reader. In the first stanza where…

Ambrosio and Matthew Murdock Summary: “Badly Injured Man Not Done Partying Yet.” Fire has a destroying tongue, a whisper of chipped teeth. Society will think it holy, the god for the dark side of humanity sharpening his jaw. It is women with unguarded hearts who tend to the flame, their ribs buried in dirt so they could be without the armor of bone. It’s far easier to reach the muscle, to let it beat in their own way, donning dresses woven by the Furies as a deathless shroud. They are only made…

The House of Usher: A Glove A glove can only be of use when a hand is inside. When a hand is inserted into a glove, it is able to achieve the purpose for which it was created. Some of these purposes are protection, warmth, and style. Without a hand, a glove is nothing; limp, lifeless, and useless. The glove in this analogy represents the mansion in the short story “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allen Poe. The hand would then represent the inhabitants of the house. When the Ushers…

to stop his mother leaving. She kissed on his cheek. Then she passed him to the host teacher, he started whining immediately. I got down to greet him; he hugged me so wildly that he pushed me down on the floor, which made him laugh. Then I hold his hand and walked to the window to see his mommy driving away until we couldn’t see her car any longer. Then he seemed much happier and followed me to the art area. I encouraged him to pick up a paintbrush but he just he leaned on me, watching the…

In the book Peace like a River how hands are described represent the characters souls. How the hands are described can tell us as the readers what type of soul or personality the character has. Reuben describes Roxana's hands as looking like they have done hard work. On page 179 he says “Roxanna Crawley was standing there looking thirsty; did I mention her knuckles before? This woman had worked.” This could mean that Roxanna has a soul that has drive and determination to get things done, but…

Lumière started to run. He was sure the enchantress didn't even see him, but running seemed a good option at the threat. Lumière made ran down the hall and stopped at the first door he saw, quickly opening it and rushing in, the candelabra in his hand lighting the room. A groan escaped from the bed in the room. “Is it morning already?” the familiar british voice mumbled from his bed. It was Cogsworth. “No- no, not at all. Cogsworth, we’re going to be turned into objects!” Lumière said, fear…

unique setting I observed left me with vastly different personal impressions regarding the profession of occupational therapy. Access was first setting and focused on physical disabilities. The main aspect of this particular setting was specifically hands. At…

he was born in a hut in the middle of nowhere. As the days passed by, Ponijao was starting to develop fine motor skills. Fine motor skills (or dexterity) is the coordination of small muscles, in movements-usually involving the synchronization of hands and fingers-with the eyes. The complex levels of manual…
