For example, the poor memory system applies to the case study where Diane recalls to have trouble remembering whether she turned off the gas or not. According to cognitive perspective, patients with OCD have different obsessive thinking patterns which cannot be dismissed and often are misinterpreted leading to exaggerated sense of responsibility. This concept can be applied to Diane’s case where she took a big responsibility as a child for her mother’s life by obsessively praying for her safety. Individuals with OCD blame themselves for having these thoughts and for the terrible things that will happen as a consequence of them (Shafran, 2005). Another episode from the case study where Diane had intrusive obsessional thoughts of strangling her own children with the dressing gown cords suggests that Diane had maladaptive cognition and she believed that her thoughts would help to cause events (thought-action fusion) e.g.
Because of this she is slowly rotting away. The more she struggles by herself with the rape, the less she is able to speak. Melinda is no longer positive and fun girl. She has changed to a pessimistic, self-loathing girl. “My closet is a good thing, a quiet place that helps me hold these thoughts inside my head where no one can hear them” (51) Melinda’s is relying on her closet and is keeping everything in her head.
Once and for all, leave me alone, I won't put up with you! I hate you, I've always hated you!". When Tita stands up for herself she is able to make the the haunting spirit of Mama Elena go away, the ghost of Mama Elena shrinks into a small spinning light. Even though Mama Elena’s actions to Tita through her childhood were mostly cruel, they probably had an indirect positive effect to help Tita develop a strong personality as an adult. How are the character(s) developed?
I think Ismene changed her mid because Antigone is her sister and you always stand up for family. She didn’t want to commit the crime because she was trying to talk Antigone out of doing the crime. In the end Ismene is the only one who lives and has a kind of guilt free life. She may not have family left besides Creon but at least she tried to save them. I think out all the characters she made the smarter choices and she thought about the consequences.
The Holocaust museum could take you inside the daily life of a Jew during these times. The last reason the Holocaust museum is an Historical sight is because it is similar to the real Holocaust. The information they give you really enlightens you on how bad things were back then. With the role-playing and real life exhibits it shows how hard it was to survive back then. It also shows you real newspapers from back then and how it outlasted the Jews and blamed their problems on them.
Kilbourne shows a good point about this article and that is no women should ever be used to please people for their needs. Kilbourne does not show any kind of weakness. Abusing women is terrible and that is her whole point of this article. One of her quotes that stood out to me is, “I suppose this could be a woman awaiting her lover, but it could easily be a girl being preyed upon” (Kilbourne
I myself really enjoyed this memoir. This may be because I can relate in a way to Suzanne’s story. Suzanne’s story helps the readers to be aware of the type of people who are really out there in the world and the disgusting things that could even go through their minds. To me people that could even think about doing such things to children or even women, makes me sick in the stomach and they deserve to suffer and rot in prison. Suzanne, when you read this I just want to tell you that you have inspired me to never be silent about anything/anyone that tries to hurt me again and because of you I am going to make sure I go for everything I dream for in
Out for blood all trying to tell herself that what she did was right that she isn’t as rotten as she seems. As she says in a high pitched anger, “She is blackening my name in the village. She is telling lies about me” (146). She is trying to say that she isn’t a whore that she didn’t do what she did but she did she is mentally unstable. Next, she is in denial she still believes that john proctor still loves her that he still cares for her.
Nurse Ratched manipulates the patients into thinking that the group therapy and such is what is best for them, however she uses techniques such as making the patients belittle each other to “make them better”. “It was better than she dreamed. They were all shouting out to out do one another going further and further no way of stopping, telling things that wouldn't ever let them look one another in the eyes again. The Nurse nodding at each confession and saying Yes, yes, yes”(p.51). By the nurse saying yes, and by her encouraging the patients to out do each other it is showing that she is gaining enjoyment from their pain even though she is telling them that it is for the betterment of them.
The UHSMM is very reliable due to their excess amounts of free information open to the public. During World War II, German officers and Physicians conducted several excruciating experiments on prisoners without their consent. Most of the experiments that were being conducted were unethical, and resulted in several deaths. These experiments included low-pressure chambers, blood loss, amputation, organ donating, and removal of hair, and teeth. This resource is very credible because it offers us first-hand accounts from survivors of the holocaust who witnessed these horrifying
