It was during this period that she also began taking stimulants and depressants. “They'd give us pep pills,” she wrote. “Then they'd take us to the studio hospital and knock us cold with sleeping pills . . . after four hours they'd wake us up and give us the pep pills again… “That's the way we worked, and that's the way we got thin. That's the way we got mixed up. And that's the way we lost contact." In is book, Ending The Drug Addiction Pandemic, Dr. James Milam gives insight to the pandemic of celebrity overdoeses… “There has been an unbroken series starting before iatrogenic deaths of Marilyn Monroe and Judy garland in the 1960s and continuing with the more recent destruction of Anna Nicole smith…

counterintuitive, simple everyday activities like shopping involve a lot of the skills needed to be an effective manager in many cultures, such as negotiation, allocation of resources, and communication. This type of immersion training where managers are placed in unfamiliar surroundings and forced to seek to understand and be aware of their experiences builds skills they can also use when they return to the home office (Steers, 2013).

'To Autumn ' consists of three eleven-line stanzas, each containing the sights, smells and sounds of an Autumn scene. Each stanza has a different subject matter, following a chronological sequence. The poem is written in rather strict iambic pentameter, with only four lines in the poem breaking this structure. There are generally five iambs to each line. This methodical meter is effective as it gives the poem a lyrical, relaxed tone. Although the poem 's scene is bursting with life, it is…

On the surface, it may appear a certain way, but upon further inspection, the answers may be something very different. The Victims can be split into two parts according to tone and tense. The first half of the poem is from the “child’s” point of view, and the second half, in the “adults” view. The first half of the poem (lines 1-17) is in the past tense and it appears as if the speaker is a young child…

His characteristics as a person and a leader are unclear, so it is natural that the reader would pay attention to the first thing this character…

“My Papa’s Waltz” The poem “My Papa’s Waltz” written by Theodore Roethke is a great poem to show an example of a child’s life.

There is a quote by C.G. Jung that reads, “Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves”. I want to use this as the scope to understand the speaker in Robert Browning’s poem My Last Duchess. In the psychologically charged poem, the Duke (the speaker of the poem) uses the dramatic monologue to convey his feelings of his late duchess, as well as why he had her killed. The duke puts immense value on his imaginary hypotheticals, in an attempt to rationalize…
