myself. Looking back at this old post managed to trigger emotions that I had not felt since the time that I wrote it. The central argument of On Keeping a Notebook by Joan Didion is one about reconnection and reconciliation with her past self.

defense claimed that his notebook was protected by physician-patient privilege, but the prosecution argued that it should be trial evidence. “The big issues for the court to decide are whether or not a privileged relationship between psychiatrist and patient actually exists, whether anything the patient has done has waived that privilege and whether there is an exception,” said Patrick Furman, a law professor at the University of Colorado.” (Ingold, 2012) Holmes notebook detailed how he planned…

concept to each situation. It is quite daunting to imagine that there is a well-established standard of procedures and protocols that are flexible and successful in addressing each individual need. By compiling the information for this comprehensive notebook, I have a whole new appreciation for the many resources that are available to me that will allow a successful beginning to my new adventure as a school counselor. Humbly, I realize that I will never be entirely prepared. I still have…

apparent superiority of realism. Despite of that fact, Shinigami is acting along with people, and the intrigue revolves around the notebook for the murders.

Eventually, the notebook quickly finds its owner because after it appears in the human world it becomes a part of it. It is one of the very…

there are tons of nifty book cases made to cover an iPad mini! In grade school, everyone needed to bring glue, No. 2 pencils and composition notebooks. The composition notebook was today's iPad mini for a lot of students. Thankfully, the nostalgia can be relieved with the composition notebook iPad case by Fintie. This case looks just like a composition notebook and comes in colors like red, green, purple and black. This particular case draws from the sentiment of the past and…

friends were disappearing, and I was struggling to find a prom date. I was at a dead end, I needed to change direction but there was nowhere to go. I decided to create a path. It started with a notebook, and continues on to this moment. I wrote a few words, paused, considered stopping. I doubted a notebook could help me. Something pushed me to finish. I posed a question, “Why am I writing in here?” The answer came quickly, “Problems,” it was simple, yet perfect. A blur of words began to fill the…

and the stupidity of violence. In The Notebook the biggest symbol is the old oak tree. The old oak tree represents Ally and Noah’s first feeling of love. The heart with the words Noah loves Ally carved into them represent the early love and the last time they seen each other before Ally went back to her original home.

Lastly with Dasa who has suffered so much in his life that all he wanted was peace and tranquillity, he thought the yogi from the forest can take him there. To add, the disciples found their “guru” out of sheer luck, with Henry reading the notebook on Imhrat Khan or Dasa finding the yogi when searching for honey in the forest.…
