Examining Tennyson’s Lotus Eaters the first thing that clearly stands apart is the two distinct narratives taking place within the text. There’s the stand alone narration of the tale of Odysseus and his men but in the Choric Song we are exposed to a direct account of the men’s experiences and personal emotions that derive from their exposure to the island. The first half of the narration’s structure appears on Tennyson’s part to be more concrete. It follows a rhyme scheme as well as the rules of…

Actor Carson Kressly once said, "People are much deeper than stereotypes. That's the first place our minds go. Then you get to know them and you hear their stories, and you say, 'I'd have never guessed.'" This statement is very appropriate when talking about the stereotype of all Jamaicans smoke marijuana because the facts run much deeper than stereotype. Additionally, the intriguing stereotype of all Jamaicans smoking marijuana has many religious roots, impacts on health, and Jamaica as a…

out is that “people can flat-out lie under hypnosis, and the examiner is no better equipped to detect the hypnotic lie than any other kind” (American Bar Association Journal, 1978, p. 187). The American Bar Association Journal (1978) talks about how after the hypnosis, the person that was hypnotized may recall the hypnosis induced memory as the memory that really occurred in reality. The hypnotic memory may be real, but no one including the person that underwent the hypnosis will know for sure…

drugs that act as central nervous system depressants. Therefore, they can produce a wide spectrum of effects, from mild sedation to total anesthesia. Barbiturate drugs are also effective as hypnotics. To be more specific, Marilyn was prescribed Chloral Hydrate and Nembutal sedatives. Chloral Hydrate is a hypnotic, and a Nembutal Sedative is, as the drug's name implies, just another sedation drug. (Shrug)…

One of the most popular subjects on the big screen and television that takes our attention very often, is a form of memory loss known as amnesia. People refer to amnesia usually as a mental illness that makes you forget everything about the past. But that is not right, and it is not wrong either. Yes, amnesia has to do with memory loss, but that does not mean that if a person is diagnosed with amnesia he/she will not remember anything at all from the past. Forgetting everything is only the…

Leighton Pierce is an American experimental filmmaker who uses sound design and hypnotic images to explore themes of surrealism, dreams, and hypnotic states. The theme of water and its hypnotic rhythm are present in many of his shorts and feature films. Outside film, Pierce experiments a great deal with sound and installation. His artistic style is similar to impressionism, an art style represented by fluid motion and obvious brushstrokes. Music is a large influence in his work, along with other…

Epigenetics: The Influence of Environment Epigenetics is the study of changes in the gene expression of organisms. Epigenetic changes assist in normal cell differentiation, determining which genes of an organism will be turned either ‘on’ or ‘off’ during development (Masterpasqua, 2009). These changes to the epigenome can be linked to many different factors- recent research indicates that variations can be linked to intrinsic factors such as the genotype, or genes of the organism, or, arguably…

Peng Wen et al. [50] used a novel index MLDoA to identify different anesthetic states of a patient during surgery. Based on the new index MLDoA, the assessment of depth of anesthesia (DoA) for a patient can be clearly monitored. Firstly, a modified Bayesian wavelet threshold is proposed to de-noise the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Secondly, the Hurst exponent is obtained to classify four states of anesthesia: deep anesthesia, moderate anesthesia, light anesthesia and awake. Finally, the…

In a slight hypnosis state, you are really just relaxed and not focused or have a split consciousness, and don’t necessarily need a hypnotist. You could not be focused on anything, but completely be in control of something. When you are in a high hypnotic state, you have normally have participated in something with a hypnotist and trust him enough to let it happen. It is voluntary and you are still in…
