Now is the time that face should form another, Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest, Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.”(Shakespeare 3) such introduction and word craftsmanship creates the visual parallel between both narratives and the reader, through the mentioning of a metaphorical mirror as well as the mentioning of self reflection. In The Yellow Wallpaper, the narrator whom through isolation from the outside and physical world, joins in a mental union with the wallpaper, is given the opportunity to free herself as well as manifesting the reflection the future generations of humanity. Bak describes and gives meaning to such setting, as the following “It is a room whose wallpaper reduces an artistic and articulate woman to a beast, stripped entirely of her sanity and humanity and left crawling on all-fours in circuits, or smooches, about the room.” (Bak 1), such wallpaper, revealing to Jane, the narrator the condition of all men and women, “Behind that outside pattern the dim shades get clearer every day. It is always the same shape, only very numerous. And it is like a woman stooping down and creeping about behind that pattern. I don’t like it one bit. I wonder- I began…

Reflecting on an issue or situation is taking serious thought and consideration of what happened and how one could behave differently or respond differently. So simply, reflection is the ability to turn a negative into a positive. This is incredibly important in nursing practice as when we make a mistake, learn a different technique or a situation happens that we feel we could have handled better, reflection allows us to look back where we went wrong and how we could correct ourselves in the…

part be due to the belief that reflection and learning are intrinsically linked. Boud et al. (1985) summarise this link and write that “reflection is an important human activity in which people recapture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate it. It is this working with experience that is important in learning”. I believe that the daily, weekly, and termly opportunities to implement change based on past experience that teaching offers is the reason that it lends itself so…

Now that I think of it I think my favorite reflection if my past was the day I learned to rest my identity in Jesus. I knew that day that I would never again yearn for approval of men…because I had chosen to accept the love of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I of course cannot say that that principle has…

seemed that much fresher and my hairs stood on end as I gazed across the wonder of the lake. Any worries and doubts I had in my mind ceased to exist and thoughts of inexplicable beauty filled my mind. In my shelter of ferns and trees I glimpsed a world which dwarfs any human constructs. The pure unadulterated grandeur of nature stretched for miles ahead of me. After what seemed like a blissful eternity I reached for my camera to capture the moment and was immediately struck by an unexpected…
