Nursing in its essence is not simply a career as a medical care-giver but also a counselor, nutritionist, friend, psychiatrist, and so much more. A good nurse, in my opinion, helps their patients not just when they are physically hurting but also when they need mental help as well.

The theme of innocence, or lack thereof, is explored in “Prayer Before Birth” and “Once Upon a Time”. MacNiece writes “forgive me, For the sins that in me the world shall commit” while Okara writes “There was a time indeed they used to shake hands with their hearts, but that’s gone, son”. Both poets attempt to show how innocence can be corrupted by the world.

There are some different types of identity in the society.
