support. For this and many rewarding experiences, I strongly believe that the social work profession is more than a job; it is a privilege. It is indubitable that the field of Social Work requires a zest to help others and gain fulfillment in doing so. It is not a field that will produce the highest earning potential, but one that will produce gratification in one’s purpose in life. As implied earlier, my personal gratification derives from the achievements of the children and families I…

met some Afghan refugees who were living there as because their village had been bombed. He had not planned a trip to Afghanistan, but when the refugees invited him to witness the situation there, McCurry decided to go as a means of visually documenting the situation. Disguised in native garb, he entered the rebel-controlled Afghan areas right before the Russian invasion. What he witnessed shocked him to the core.

opposes all of her policies. Similarly, Christof, the creator from Truman Show written by Andrew Niccol, traps Truman Burbank in a dome where everything is fake and everyone is an actor including his father, wife, and best friend. Identically, in The Children’s Story by James Clavell, a New Teacher takes over Miss Worden’s class and uses propaganda to influence the students in supporting the foreign power. Again, in One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, Nurse…

understand it. In Shirley Jackson’s the lottery she shows how people are persecuted for factors that are simply out of their own control. It is this last behavior, the need to feel a part of the gruesomeness that exists in American society, that Jackson so skillfully depicts in “The Lottery"(Hicks). Through the elements of irony and convention, Jackson effectively brings out the idea of close mindedness, which is still prevalent in society today. Irony is when the characters know something…

Haiti lifeline was developed to give hope and help to what began at just an orphanage that has now expanded to an entire community. The health care structure is so corrupt that the Haitians begin begging for help upon the organizations arrival. However, with the amount of supplies and time, it was impossible to treat everybody, which caused a whirlwind of emotions that made a lasting impression. Following a week in Haiti, it is time to reflect on the organization that made everything possible,…

1. How would you describe the humor in Singer's stories? What adjectives would you use? This is a short answer that need not take 6 sentences. The humor in Singer’s stories I would describe as wordplay. As I read Singer’s stories I found many words that were used to amuse a reader. In the story “The Elders of Chelm & Genendel’s Key” the names that have dopey, fool, and donkey aren’t common names, but gives a sort of a chuckle when reading them. The adjectives that I would use for Singer’s…
