Rest

Golden rays of early morning sunshine poured through the glass windows and illuminated my dorm room. I look over to see my friend Andrew attempting to sleep in by pretending to ignore his painfully annoying phone alarm. “Andrew you need to get up and shut that thing off. It’s hardly 8 a.m. and I’m already getting a massive headache.” I nagged at him, “Andrew. Seriously. Now. Get up!” I ready my hand to deliver a perfect “five-star” smack onto his bare back but instead he turns around and faces me, eyes still closed, and tells me he will be ready in five and that I need to make sure the rest of our crew is up. I exit my dorm room and knock on Miguel and Ryan’s room and they are both already ready to go down and eat. As Ryan, Miguel, and I enter…

Ferguson relates the consumption of Western culture…

People would then feel lost and where they were living in starts to become feeling like something opposite of what they viewed their home as. In truth, all people have to do is turn back and look at all the people that helped him or her be where they are now in life whether they were good or bad. Lebron James, for example, left his hometown team in…

“[Austria] drowsed in peace in the deep privacy of a hilly and woodsy solitude where news from the world hardly ever came to disturb its dreams, and was infinitely content” was said by Theodor Fischer (148). This quote portrays Austria as a small country that basically shuts itself off from the rest of the world. There seems to be little that could change the country from its isolation and involve it in world problems. Realistically, we, the United States, is unable to cut itself off from the…

having an identity and losing herself. Maybe the author did not tell us her name because she cannot distinguish who she really is and her purpose. Charlotte Perkins Stetson the author of The Yellow Wallpaper wrote this short story in the late 1800’s when the “bed rest cure,” was the best remedy for curing any type of sickness and being isolated much like the wife in the story. According to Saylor.org women are “innately weaker,” and “less capable of taking care of themselves.” Women of the late…

For the purpose of this assignment, I chose Blue Valley Multi Service Center which is located here in Overland Park, KS. Overland Park is about 40 minutes southwest of Downtown Kansas City. It is part of Johnson County which is a fairly large county. The county itself is drastically different from the KC Metro area because it is known to be a very affluent area, especially the south half of Johnson county. Overland Park itself is one of the highest priced living areas. I chose this location…

Rest Energy Rest Energy, by Marina Abramović, is a 1980 performance piece created and performed in liaison with Ulay. The performance, which was recorded in Amsterdam, offers a staged enactment, which is the medium, of the great levels of vulnerability and trust entrenched in any deep relationship (Abramović et al., 1998). In this performance piece, Abramović and Ulay face each other with an arrow and a bow between them, which is the art object. As Abramović is holding the bow across her chest,…

The Rest Cure was developed by Silas Weir Mitchell, an influential American neurologist, in the late 1800’s. This treatment was designed for the cure of hysteria, neurasthenia, and many other mental illnesses. While the treatment was designed for both genders, the rest cure was typically prescribed to more women than men. The “cure” itself typically lasted anywhere from six to eight weeks and involved separating the patient from friends and family, enforcing bed rest upon them, eating a diet…
