Numb

are dressed in black, this shows the reader that the “tombs” are people who are dealing a great pain who still feel numb to the situation. The tomb resembles to something still, quiet or dead. By understanding what that meant, the readers can feel the lack of emotion is very strong. The readers can also feel that the author basically lives through life not feeling, but feeling numb from all the hurt. In the beginning of the poem, she mentions things about death, like the ceremony and the tomb. I…

The epidural is the most favored pain relief used in labor. It’s been around for centuries and although it may relieve pain to a mother in labor it also can cause harm to the mother in labor. I want to explain three reasons why epidurals are not good for the baby or the mother, are the effects it has on the labor process, the maternal side effects and the side effects it has on the baby. When you prepare for the day your baby comes you think of all the things that can go wrong or maybe all the…

illusions could be environmental PTSD. The second symptom of always being on guard and being startled easily relates to Macbeth being on edge about losing his place on the throne, prompting the murder of Banquo. The final symptom of feeling emotionally numb presents the fact that Macbeth went through many traumas and became overwhelmed mentally to the point of not caring about his wife dying. Macbeth, the renowned thane of Glamis, has fallen; not under the influence of his own decisions, but of…

Sociopaths are people who do not feel empathy, emotion, or remorse. They are known for manipulating people, using them, controlling them, and treating them as objects. Many believe that society is becoming more and more sociopathic because we are numb to tragedy, the numbers of sociopaths are increasing, and we are even encouraging the behavior. It does seem, however, that each person cites a different reason for this. While each idea has facts that can prove them, there are many different…

how much she protests, she will always be back. As time passes she is getting more and more numb to the actions being done to her. For example when Lakshmi is first starting, she states that “...if you are lucky, or if you work hard at it, you hear nothing… until it is over. Until it starts again.” or “The lassi has made my mind too hazy to keep track of how many men have been here.”. She becomes so numb that when she is offered the smallest kindness, is a million rupees to her. For instance,…

In the story Macbeth by William Shakespeare the character Lady Macbeth plays a role where she is very cold hearted, numb to emotions, and manipulative. For instance, Lady Macbeth and her husband were going to fake their grief when she said, “Who dares receive it other, As we shall make our griefs and clamour roar Upon his death?” ( Shakespeare VII, i ). This word choice gives the piece a surprised reaction because you wouldn’t except someone to kill a person and pretend to feel bad. The effect…

But when there is no more oxycodone to numb your pain and you think you still have pain that’s when it becomes to be a bad thing. You resort to anything such as sleep or simply just finding the alternative heroine, which is cheaper and easier to access. Which is mainly why people resort to heroine…

Throughout the course of our life, we are bound to feel emotions, but we go through phases where we feel nothing and we are desperate to feel something. The “thing” about “fall[ing] half in love” is that “you never know where you are” and it feels as if it is an “atomic bomb” in which it explodes. You are either in love or you are not in love, there is no half way there and I think that Holden is trying to push himself to falling in love so that he can feel something again. Holden feels as if…

Brené Brown is a research-storyteller who studies vulnerability, authenticity, courage, and shame. She started with connection. After being a social worker for ten years she realized the importance of connection in our lives. “Connection is why we’re here.” Her research on connection led her to shame.

Brene Brown, researcher, author, and “vulnerability expert,” discusses vulnerability in a 2010 TED Talk, while acknowledging factors for avoiding it. First of all, we numb vulnerability as a means of dealing with it. Instead of facing what scares us, we avoid and medicate ourselves with a belief that nothing is wrong with us or our situation or what we do or what we have done. She also discusses how our society is obsessed…
