Dear Evan Hansen on Mental Illness Stigma in the Millennial Generation From the earliest days of humanity, mental illness has been been stigmatized as something that is not understood and therefore should be feared.

Into modern times, medical techniques advanced and we began to study mental illnesses not as something to be feared but…

(Hampton), which shows his determination to sell the piano. He also compliments the actress who plays Berniece, Roslyn Ruff, whose “scene at the end, in which she caresses the faces carved on the piano, saying ‘Thank you. Thank you. Thank you,’ is like a requiem” (Hampton). Based on Hampton’s praise of the play, one might say that The Piano Lesson is a work of art. Tom Williams from the Chicago Critic also praises Wilson’s…

His musical pieces still remain quite…

I recognize that opioid addiction is an illness, so I increase the intensity of treatment if a patient should relapse. However, repeated relapses signify a major problem. Medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine requires a great deal of self-monitoring (self-policing). Patients who are unable to self-monitor are still in need of treatment, but at a higher intensity level. Options include treatment at an…

In some stories, we are taken through a journey with protagonist and at the end of his or her story, the protagonist finds his or herself facing a disastrous situation or a tragic ending. Certain actions arise that bring a morally good tragic hero from happiness to distress which is led by a hamartia; an error in judgement many times due to lack of knowledge or full understanding of a situation. According to our textbook, the definition of a Tragedy is “the representation of serious and…

Following North, Heaney’s next collection of poetry was Field Work which largely documents his four years spent in Glanmore County Wicklow. The significance of this move is that it took him South of the border with the Republic of Ireland, a haven away from the sectarian violence of the North.
