Reaction Interaction Response Judging by the annoyed tone Diane Kenyon uses in her essay “Reaction-Interaction”, It’s clear to see the immensity of hope she has to find a solution for her deafness, despite being a successful freelance lecturer, tutor, and writer. However the first line in the essay concludes that there is a solution to not only her deafness but everyone else’s disability, "Most hearing people perceive deafness as a medical problem to be cured, but the pill has their name on it!" All the science and technology in the world can’t cure deafness, the only cure is by the help and cooperation of the people around. What stood out to me in the essay was the italicized sentences which represented the way people would react to her deafness. This disability may alienate the person from the rest of the group but it doesn’t mean that they are stupid.
It not only changes our view on Addie, but our view on the novel as a whole. Addie's voice is imparative to the reader's outlook and while we can sense it through the voices of others, her chapter best sums up her mind. So, what if Addie's chapter did not exsist? For one, we would never have comprehended her mind and the way it twists around things like how she feels about her children and husband. We would have all thought of her as still the same loving mother who watches her son, Cash, methodically build her coffin not because she is ready and wanting soon to be in it, but because he is her son and she loves to see him work.

Hitchens states his clear thoughts about this in the article he wrote in 2003, that he will require extraordinary evidences for such extraordinary claim, more than just memories or words which are very subjective, otherwise he will dismiss this as a quackery. However Hitchens isn't sceptic purely towards faith or blind belief, but toward everything in a sense. He simply questions everything. To any claim Hitchens wants ''evidences''.
Christopher knows he is different, and often he detaches himself from any emotional standpoint. At times his mind is similar to that of a sociopath really. He sees things purely from a analytical and logical manner, void of any real emotions we contend with everyday. "I sometimes think of my mind as a machine...it makes it easier to explain to other people what is going on inside". Throughout the book, there is a mutual frustration between Christopher and those he interacts with, both do not understand how the other thinks.

In this instance the staff nurse failed to advocate for Mr. E by not informing nor asking his brother, Mr. Y, if he was aware his brother had an advanced directive. By asking the question this would have facilitated a discussion about Mr. E's presenting symptoms and the treatment options available. This would have provided an opportunity for further education and correlation that Mr. E's physical symptoms and history of developmental delays aren't an ideal combination for making a decision regarding his current treatment options. In safeguarding for the patient this would include full disclosure of all knowledge the nurse had of the patient's wishes. Complicating matters Mr. Y called his niece, Ms. H., who arrives at the hospital before him.
Even though it never actually says abortion in the text, it is pretty clear through numerous of clues such as: “But I don’t want anybody but you”(page 418 line 21) and: “It’s just to let the air in”(page 416 line 25). After the extremely long argument in the story, Jig tells the American that: “I don’t care about me”(page 417 line 18) but the American just continues the argument. It kind of seems like they are talking past each other, and not one of them wants to admit that they doesn’t want this baby. Hemingway uses simple language to disguise the fact that they are discussing an abortion The name of the story comes from Jig’s exclamation that the hills looks like white elephants in the dark grey desert. In the beginning it’s the shape of the hills she compares to elephants but later on the realizes that it’s the color of the hills.
