He invited Howard Shore to visit the different sets and to meet the cast, because he wanted him to immerse himself as much in the story as possible:"There were many months of reading Tolkien's books, studying Ring mythology and influences of Tolkien," Shore says "I had to do that in order to write, to express any ideas and emotions. [...] I think I´m always writing for an emotional impact. I want to feel something when I watch a film and that's how I create music. I mean, I'm watching a film and…

On the second day of clinical, August 27, 2015, I cared for three postpartal patients and one antepartal patient. All three of the postpartal patients delivered their babies vaginally, and the antepartal patient’s membranes ruptured at twenty-seven weeks and four days gestation. Fortunately, I was able to use knowledge from theory to care for four patients. To begin, the antepartal patient that I took care of was a G2P1 due on November 12, 2015. The patient was admitted one and a half weeks…

Steven Levitt and Stephan Dubner in their essay “Freakonomics: The Hidden Side of Everything.” (2005) Levitt and Dubner argue that economics is, at root, the study of incentives. They mention the many different types of crime and the rate that it is increasing and decreasing as time goes by. Levitt and Dubners essay points out how often a crime really is happening in different ways that most people would not even realize that it is taking place. I believe that crime is affecting our world…

After our initial meeting for the first project Mylinh and I did not know much of each other. Having been introduced this project we were presented the opportunity to teach and learn from one another about one another’s culture. For Mylinh and I’s meeting for this project, we decided to go to a park in upper Montclair. We both thought it was a great place to talk and observe people. The first thing she noticed was how isolated the parents were with their children. She asked me why weren’t the…

We live in a world where fear and anxiety are common and in some point in our lives we will all witness a traumatic event, however, the way one reacts to trauma can affect him/her in the long-run. Some people are able to cope and progress from the life-threatening event with a fight-or-flight response, which is a natural coping mechanism that protects an individual from harm, while others remain constantly frightened, which leads to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a psychological…

The lessons that I had planned for this week proved to be very challenging and somewhat wasteful. However, the good thing about this whole ordeal is that I have become more aware of what works and does not work for the students. I also have a better understanding of how important it is to check for students understanding and keep them engaged throughout the entire lesson. Every one of my lesson plans included powerpoints that would present the content for the subject of my lesson. I had…

10/082015 I had no idea what the book titled A History of Islam in The America by Kambiz GhaneaBassiri was about and I would not be able to guess. However, after spending five weeks in this class, now I have a clue what is it about. In past, I just examine a cover a book and predict what it will be about. These are just details that I do not take the time to reflect upon. After talking with my professor, it really taught me how to pay attention to the obvious. In short, my paper will focus on…

Over the course of this semester in Honors Dialogue, I have strengthened my critical thinking skills, challenged my underlying assumptions and beliefs, and learned how to develop shared meaning through respectful inquiry in a group setting. When I initially signed up for this class, I did not understand the type of communication that is dialogue. I knew the premise of the class was that each week a classmate would come to class with a specific topic that we would be expected to think about,…

III. Summary Impression of Interview. In lots of ways, I feel as though my interview was rather successful; in others, I feel as though I fell short. One thing I pride myself on, has always been my ability to connect with people. My experience with JF however was quite different, particularly my real interview rather than the role-play I did with Brianna. I found I didn’t easily understand or sympathize with issues that JF struggled with, as I’d never been in a situation anywhere near similar…

I have always been interested in the surgery aspect of the medical field, so when I found out we would be observing surgical operations I could not have been more excited. Michelle, who sets everything up, saw that I was on 5 North and thought it would be perfect to put me with the neurology team for the day. This added to my excitement because she did not have a lot of surgeries scheduled that entailed really open incisions and both of the operations I was able to watch did. The two…
