Shelf life

and rewards for counselors working with individuals in this stage of life There are many challenges and rewards counselors can experience when working with the elderly. The biggest challenge would be death before the client has some sense of mental health relief. Since the psychosocial crisis associated with this lifespan is immortality versus extinction, a client experiencing feelings of fear of death and a hopelessness toward life, a counselor would need to have very focused intervention…

riverbank, or a roadside—"near an exit". In his poem “Traveling through the Dark,” the speaker travels upon a dead deer on the edge of a narrow road. This poem dramatizes the conflict between life and death, particularly as this conflict relates to the speaker’s assertion that death is inevitable, however, life can continue after death. Although the speaker teeters on the decision to “roll [the deer] into the canyon” (3), or leave it and cause harm to the travelers who may “swerve” (4) to miss…

Life is an adventure filled with mystery and miracles, highs and lows and an extraordinary range of in-between experiences along the way. Moments of joy like finding love, succeeding in your career and celebrating birthdays with the people closest to you, truly makes it worth living. But in life we must all learn the inevitable facts, that what goes up, must also come back down. Rumi’s poetry teaches us that the highs, can never last forever, and we must therefore learn how to also embrace both…

to say “It is time”? I believe that if there is any chance that a person might make it, then they should not have this option. If a person still has a pretty good quality of life and is not suffering, then there is no reason that they should have this option.

Also, I believe that the person, his or her spouse, or…

classes for the spring semester, which was the very first of mine here at Ole Miss. In the very final day of registration, I had my classes selected and I am very glad that I had been in one of the most perfect Writing Class which I had ever taken in my life. I had never thought writing would be this effective in expressing views and expressions to other people. I knew, though writing is always fun to those who have good grammar and language, but I had always been missing the fact that writing…

The story starts out by an introduction of an eighty year old women under doctor supervision. Granny’s arrogant and didactic tone towards the doctor implies to the readers that there is something wrong, maybe she is too old and her demise may be near. The author’s use of point of view, symbolism, suspense, time diversion within a stream of consciousness, and satire makes the story guessing and totally interesting for the reader. The rising action takes place at the introduction of the story and…

Plants and animals have made changes in their habitats as they have transitioned from water environments to land environments. This alteration requires the organisms to adapt to their new environments in order to survive and reproduce. These evolutionary transitions eventually led up to alterations in means of respiration, ways to prevent water loss, water dependent reproduction, and structural transformations. Amphibians evolved into reptiles and eventually into birds and mammals, being able to…

will live life more since it allows you to experience new things and it cuts back regrets you might have for not doing said action. Nothing ventured nothing gained is very self explanatory, it means that if you do not go out and try different things, go new places, learn new concepts and ideas you will never be able to grow as a person. More specifically if you do not try to expand your horizons you will not grow intellectually. You would not be able to grow…
