Bloom stated that Mary Barnett suffered from postpartum depression, a syndrome that affects many women after the birth of their children. There are many women that have this depression and have learned to take control it. Therefore Mary had plenty of other options to seek psychiatric help, but she chose otherwise. In my opinion I think Mary is a selfish woman because she only thought for herself when she left her daughter alone. In addition, Officer Mitchell was also a witness and he stated that Mary was aware of her own actions.
Living with MS (multiple sclerosis) became one of her greatest challenges. “Fighting it is a waste of precious energy”, she said in an online posting to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s web site. “It is only by embracing my MS that I learn life’s greatest lessons.” Adding yet another personal victory to her repertoire, she recently rejoined the speaking circuit after taking a hiatus due to failing eyesight. For an expert lip-reader, low vision is like going deaf all over again. It also meant she couldn’t drive, and had to use a wheelchair because her balance deteriorated.
By 1987, she was regarded as a homemaker expert and signed a $200,000 deal as a lifestyle consultant and pitch woman for discount retailer with Kmart to develop a line of stylish but affordable merchandise.

The study population was made of 1543 women (mean age 27.7 years) recruited from four urban hospitals in Utah, USA. Patients reported their height, pre-pregnancy weight, and pregnancy weight gain immediately postpartum; their body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy was also calculated. At 6–8 weeks after delivery, patients received a self-administered questionnaire by mail that contained the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. The study found that obese women were older, less educated, and more frequently parous and non-Hispanic whites, compared with women of normal weight. In here, we can see the post-birth physical and metal effects.
The debate about the legal driving age has always been a large topic. The debate has been argued for many years but there have not been any changes of the age. Teen drivers are the leading cause of automobile accidents, and there are many statistics which prove this. If the legal driving age was increased to 18 then there would be a large decrease in deaths and accidents. I believe the typical 16 year old doesn’t have the maturity level that is needed to be behind the wheel of a car unsupervised.
To illustrate this, as well as the thoughts of people who had gone through it, she uses a lot of imagery, as well as some similes and diction. One example of these many uses of imagery is “If the feet had been cut off and the raw stumps/thrust inside the openings, surely/it could not hurt more than broken toes, twisted/back and bandaged tight.” Ruth also uses many similes, such as “when she stood on points/of pain that gnawed like fire”, which is also another example of imagery. The many uses of similes and specifically imagery really help to make the reader feel the pain of the girl in the poem which makes the whole poem much more powerful and successful at getting the reader to see things the way Ruth wants them too. There is also some diction, such as in the lines “from bands of coral, jade, and apricot silk/embroidered with twined sprays of flowers.” At the end, the girl in the second half of the poem is an old woman, and after talking about her experience as a child “Her friends nodded, glad the times had changed./Otherwise, they would have crippled their daughters.” This really seals that the poem is about tradition, and makes a poignant statement about it; that even these women who are
“On Being a Cripple” timed write In the essay “On Being a Cripple,” Nancy Mairs describes her life with a terrible medical condition called MS or Multiple Sclerosis. Although she suffers from the disease she has learned to cope with it over the years. She takes the disease as a second chance to live, where others might just become depressed. The author uses humor, rhetoric and style to convey her attitude toward her condition. Mair is not like most people who are living with MS; rather she uses humor to describe her condition.
This made me do more research about knee replacements and familiarize myself with such a case. Andrea describes the operation as seeming to be “barbaric”. In my opinion serious surgeries cause a lot of pain and will need loads of painkillers, theses strong painkillers do lead to hallucinations. Her experience that she shares during her physical and occupational rehabilitation and her recovery, which is very descriptive throughout including the tasks that she had to complete to be able to go back to her normal life style. In the article she is worried that when she goes back her caregiver isn’t expected to be upon returning home.
