LIFE AFTER THE BEATLES After the breakup of The Beatles, Lennon expected to feel free and liberated but felt the opposite. Lennon, with the encouragement of Yoko Ono, turned to “primal scream therapy,” where he relived traumatic moments of his childhood and relieved the tension that built up through screaming and crying. Lennon later said, “I’m not bitter anymore . . . I meditate and I cry” (Corbin 99). Lennon and Yoko Ono had a falling out in 1973, when she forced Lennon to move out. Lennon…

Aldous Huxley felt intimacy on a deeper level than just lust for someone was vital. Our society which is very similar to Aldous Huxley’s vision in Brave New World is one which is dependent on drugs to get through the day. Whether it be alcohol, weed, LSD, caffeine, or prescription drugs our society uses them all to suppress emotion and feelings. Brave New World used soma to do this very same thing. It does not create freedom in many regards it creates slavery. Slavery to the…

drugs associated with this class of drugs include mescaline, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), and phencyclidine (PCP).

contrast, I questioned wether or not Joe actually has a substance abuse problem, namely, due to the intake form describing Joe’s drug usage as occasional though not habitual and the fact Mr.Knight had briefly experimented with other drugs(cannabis, LSD, poppers). This got me to thinking! Perhaps, I shouldve noted this discrepancy as part of gaps in Joe’s information instead of noting substance abuse as a presenting problem. I challenge myself to think more critical about what the definition of…

The Salem Witch Trials were a bad time in the history of the United States; around 200 people were accused of witchcraft. More than 20 were executed. Men and women were hung, crushed, or left to rot in prison. Some were not executed, but their lives were forever changed. In the Massachusetts Bay Colony where there was strong belief in the devil, there was a smallpox epidemic and the threat of warring tribes. The stress of the people created a fertile ground for fear and suspicion. After a short…

Before colonial times, the tobacco native to America was smoked by Native Americans for religious reasons like prayer, health, and spiritual protection. When the European settlers arrived in America they did not have much use for the native tobacco, until the 1600’s when the English settler John Rolfe began experimenting with American tobacco. Only a few years later Rolfe revealed a sweeter and more fragrant tobacco to the Jamestown colony. The “bewitching weed” or “poor man’s crop” that Rolfe…

presented in this novel. Some feel the story is unrealistic and was written to scare teenagers away from any drugs rather than present a realistic case against them. Some things that support this criticism as valid is the fact that the novels holds both LSD and Marijuana as very addictive substances. While this can be left up to opinion both these drugs are seen as less addicting than other drugs. Another criticism is the pace of Alice’s addition. The character descends into this world rather…

“Go Ask Alice” The book I chose was “Go Ask Alice” by anonymous. It was published in March of 1971. There has been some controversy over the genera of the book, but it was classified as teen fiction, and has 215 pages. “Go Ask Alice” is about a teen girl whose name remains unknown throughout the book that gets mixed into the wrong group, and ends up addicted to drugs. She keeps a diary where she tells about all of her experiences, thoughts, and feeling, but the diary becomes her safe place,…
