Seeing Voices

nothing short of a long period of sobriety can begin the alleviate it. With alcohol depression, the normal hangover is much more than not feeling well. Anxiety Depression Anxiety depression oftentimes is indicated by profuse sweating, shaky hands and voice. Persons suffering from anxiety disorder are generally pessimistic, always expecting the worse. They also…

a somewhat humorous way using metaphors, onomatopoeia, and repetition. The whole poem is an extended metaphor comparing a secretary to the office supplies surrounding her. Her role as a human is belittled and she is reduced to functionaries, not seeing herself as a living, breathing person anymore but as someone whose “breasts are mimeograph ink” and whose “feet bear casters” (Piercy 5-6). Piercey places emphasis on the fact that she is a “desk” and the other office equipment described, rather…

The alteration in font to present Christopher’s mother’s letters are clearly employed to signal the change in the narrative voice, to remind readers that it is her own words they are reading. This is the only other narrative voice presented in the novel. Through the letters that Judy writes we learn more about her decision to leave and this is really key in recognising that she’s a good person and a good mother; she was just…

I used to be so innocent, so naive what was the word...hmmm ? Ha ! It's candide I think, anyway I was... Weak ! A weak ass teenage dude that couldn't run more than 5 yards without panting like I was in shock, I would cry soooooo easily it's shameful a pat on the back could break me, a common cold could put me in bed for weeks, a love movie could make me cry like my grandma just died ... Yeah that kind of weak. Helplessly weak ... I'm ashamed to admit that even now I'm fairly weak, even as one…

firmly but his voice only comes out in a hoarse whisper. Jim didn't answer, he just smiled, sitting in a metal chair not to far away. "Figure it out Holmes," He challenged, his palms facing the ceiling. Sherlock searched his mind, it didn't take very long, and the answer was obvious. He should have figured it out sooner but he can blame the slowness of his quick witted brain on the something that Moriarty must have slipped him at some point during the day. "Drugs," He said simply, his voice…

unnecessary until I heard myself read aloud. From the elegance of my voice to the seamless transitions of words, I fell in love with reading. Though this honey moon period was short lived, due to past hatreds resurfacing, I enjoyed the evolution of my voice. So, I dabbled in reading to strengthen my vocals. While listening to different people on YouTube discuss world events, seeing them express their views on media manipulation and seeing their anger toward the destruction of history, helped me…

perfectly formed paw prints in the dirt. She didn’t know what to do she couldn’t remember what happen. Her mind was slow to register that it had to have been her, which left the marks. Her mind seemed to regain some clarity, and she heard her father’s voice in her head. “This is your curse, not ours.” He had said those words every night as he locked the storage door. She thought it was his way of condoning his actions to himself. Cyprus realized it was almost dawn, and decided to clean the…

He helped whoever needed it, even if they couldn’t compensate for their service. My uncle hated seeing young children being “trapped” in cancer. He hated having to tell a child’s family that their child has a life expectancy date. I can even remember him going out of his way to care for the ones that needed him the most, whether it involved him staying…

to fight discrimination. It is powerful seeing signs that say “no colored allowed” or a white waitress saying, “we don’t serve niggers”. Although these videos are disturbing, it is necessary to understand history. Also seeing real life people helps students establish real life connections to these people. This video reinforced police…

In the Roaring 1920’s the American Dream at the time was to chase after wealth and social status disregarding emotion and logic. This quote of how Daisy’s voice sounds to Gatsby shows this concept, “‘Her voice is full of money," he said suddenly.”(7.99) Gatsby is a symbol for the up and coming rich. Many people around him think of him as a glorified man, and even Nick Carraway thinks when he sees him that there is “something glorious”(8)…
