thoughts constructed through the power of memory and imagination. Moreover, combinations of these ideas harmonise with each other to form our ideas of specific objects. For example, a lemon drizzle cake is described through the various sensations it imprints on us, such as its sweet taste and it citrus infused scent. As our senses perceive these impressions, we associate them to the idea of a lemon drizzle cake. As we know that we have sensations and can reconstruct them through memory and…

The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen delivers the message of remembering much better and more aptly than the movie adaption directed by Donna Deitch, because of the relationship of the characters, the shooting scene, and the scenes and characters omitted from the movie. The relationships of the characters in the novel increase the importance of the theme of remembering much better than the relationships of the characters in the movie. For example, in the novel, some of the prisoners in the…

Early leaders in community health were advocates for vulnerable populations which contributed to the birth of public health nurses (PHN); these nurses played an essential part in improving health and social conditions in many communities (Kulbok, Thatcher, Park,& Meszaros, 2007). Nurse Mary Eliza Mahoney was one of those nurses serving the community and making a difference in the life of many. This young nurse marked history with many notable first achievements; there were considered first…

As the illustrious John Locke once stated, the human mind at birth is a tabula rasa upon which experience imprints knowledge. It was not until a point in my late childhood that I learned that my grandmother had been suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis ever since I was a little girl. On one particular morning, my grandmother was not able to get up from her bedside. Her joints had become unprecedentedly inflamed, causing her extraordinary pain. It seemed as if she had been temporarily paralyzed as…

As he runs toward the finish line gasping for air, giving it all he got. He crosses the finish line with the crowd cheering loud and with a new gold medal and with a new world record. Jesse Owens had to go through a lot of ups and downs to get to where he is today. Jesse had to go through collage, track and field, and then he finally made it to Hitler’s Olympics. Jesse Owens was born on September 12, 1913, in Oakville, Alabama. Jesse Owens had a very hard childhood, his family was very poor.…

reestablishing it in the future. In the first stanza, the narrator points toward alcoholism among American soldiers, during and after the Vietnam War. Forche writes, “We rise from the snow where we’ve / lain on our backs and flown like children, / from the imprint of perfect wings and cold gowns / and we stagger together wine-breathed into town…” (45). Forche suggests childhood themes of innocence. However, “wine breath into town” and “flown like children” suggests a darker reality. Instead…

In anticipation of the podcast assignment, I took the time to listen to a few podcasts on my interests. The first podcast I listened to is the infamous “Welcome to Nightvale”, a series of podcast based on a fictional town located in America. Each episode begins with a short description of the town, a greeting from the host, and signature tune. The pilot episode starts off by setting the mood and tone for the podcast. The host talks in a deep and slow voice, almost as if he is reading a…

Fossils provide evidence of evolution because by showing the changes to organisms over time. Fossils are the remnants of an organism that died, they are mostly bone because flesh and skin breaks down. They can be either in the form of a mold or imprint or in a piece of amber. Each fossil is a clue to what the animal looked like millions of years ago. Fossils show how animals have evolved to better suit their habitat. The most important thing about fossils is that they give us a glimpse back in…

Human’s greatest achievements have brought progress to others, but sometimes this “progress” can lead others to melancholy in the future. The book Fahrenheit 451, published in 1953, is about a potential future that awaits us. The book deciphered how people don’t read books due to the technology made for them. The more prominent the technology was, the more others can read other commodities online. Although people do not read books, it shows how people are not “in play” to interact with things…
