Paralysis

In Dubliners, his collection of short stories, James Joyce chooses to constrict the lives of both Eveline and the young boy in “Araby” through mental and emotional paralysis. Eveline lives a painful life of toil, working herself to the bone to support her violent father. Her lover, Frank, offers her an opportunity to leave and go to Buenos Aires. Although she commits herself to leaving with him, at the docks she is paralyzed both by her attachment to better days with her family and by her…

management practices that can be implicated to help control the severity of Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis in affected horses. Because of the debilitating effects that this condition has, it is important to examine the ways that this disorder can be controlled. Low potassium diets, regular turnout, and a constant schedule have been shown to effectively manage the condition of Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis. The role of potassium in action potentials, as well as in muscular contraction, is…

was suffering of, to point out its paralysis by means of the novel: “Impatient at the restrictions of life in Dublin, he concluded that Ireland was sick, and diagnosed its psychological malady as hemiplegia, a partial, unilateral paralysis” (Walzl, 1961, p. 221). Joyce envisioned Dublin as the image of complete paralysis so he decided to write about the disease that has been extended within the city as Florence L.

about a firewoman. This lady would haunt Akua in her dreams and cause her to wake up screaming every morning. Although it is never confirmed, I believe that she is having a form of sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis leaves the person who is dreaming paralyzed and unable to speak but completely conscious. Sleep paralysis is known to be one of the most terrifying things, probably why Akua screams in terror when she wakes up. Akua never knew why she had these dreams but I think there are two reasons…

Paralysis is difficult to explain to a 12 year old. Not the basic concept of paralysis, but rather the idea of that becoming your future, of paralysis becoming your life. Telling your child he is paralyzed is what my family was almost forced to discuss with me 10 years ago. I suffer from Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis (HKPP), an autosomal-dominant disorder affecting 1 in every 100,000 people, making me one of only roughly 3,070 people affected in the US (and my family a disproportionate number…

Sleep paralysis There was once a time where I almost lost total control of my life, where I almost let the demons in my head crush and bully me into submission. The experience of losing control of my body almost every night caused me to be terrified of sleeping to the point of where I would stay awake many nights just so I wouldn’t see the monsters that lived inside my head. I lost my comfort, a part of my sanity, and a part of myself that I will never get back. Sleep paralysis is witnessing…

In the back of my mind, I am dismayed about falling into the Paralysis of Perfectionism. Which is basically becoming too focus on doing the mythical "flawless website" to the point you're hesitant to make errors, over checking line by line, nitpicking published pages and wasting time looking for the "golden grail photo" for your pages. " A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new" ~Albert Einstein To put it short, I chose a niche which as I go deeper and complete a page. I…

The mind is a dangerous place. Supernatural premises and concrete beliefs lead to an explanation for anything gone wrong. A kidnapping as quick as lightning. A whistle in the woods. Sounds in your house like a fox scuttling about, a hand grabbing you from behind only to see nothing behind you. The age old creature, the elf, has been a pivotal part of history not only in the Irish or European cultures but also in the South American culture as… the Duende. “I’m Joshua Gregory and this is Ology…
