I asked her the policy question- what is a foley?- of which she answered correctly. 4/10/14 She was very friendly and had no complaints about the staff or s she was working with. She mentioned that the patient census was low and that she did not know what to do on her down time. I told her as long as she finished her two rounds, it is always good to revisit patients and converse with them to keep them company. I also told them they should assist
Reality Overcoming Blissful Ignorance Dynamic characters in literature illustrate a change in their character throughout the story at one point or another. On the other hand, static characters do not experience a change in their particular character and, more or less, stay the same. In Katherine Mansfield’s “Bliss”, Bertha Young, the protagonist, exemplifies a dynamic character that undergoes change and transformation around static characters. Bertha believes that “the lovely pear tree with its wide open blossoms as a symbol of her own life” (Mansfield 493). The pear tree and its blossoms symbolize all the wonderful things life offers her such as her youth, love for her husband, financial stability as well as her cosmopolitan friends.
“The Story of an Hour” The beginning of Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” presents a woman who is about to be told that her husband has been killed in a railroad disaster. Louise Mallard suffers from a heart condition so her sister and friends must break the news to her as delicately as possible. Immediately after hearing the shocking news, she reacts just as one would imagine by weeping as she ran off to her room alone. However, the reaction quickly shifts as with her husband’s passing she is overcome with joy as she realizes that she no longer has to live for anyone but herself. The open window that Louise gazes from is a key symbol which represents the freedom and opportunity that is now possible now that her husband has died.
John James Audubon and Annie Dillard both wrote short passages describing large flocks of birds using vivid imagery and descriptive diction to convey the effect that the flocks had on them as an observer. Both passages have an awed and laudatory tone since the writers seem to be enchanted by the beauty o the birds. While Audubon gives a literal description of what he saw, Dillard describes the birds through the extensive use of figurative language. The descriptive diction in both passages serves to give the reader a mental image of what the writer saw as the birds flew by. Audubon uses phrases like “countless multitudes” and “immense legions” to describe the large amount of birds that he watched fill the sky.
Browning over-exaggerates the features and beauty of the nature of England almost making them come alive with her use of personification. The poem is very descriptive and also plays on all the five senses. She shows the sense of taste with the use of the word ‘sweeter’ in line 12, ‘ Made sweeter for the step upon the grass’ and also line 20, ‘Fed full of noises by invisible streams,’ the sense of hearing is shown using the word ‘noises.’ Browning also used the repetition to give the reader a sense of continuity. She shows that nature is evergreen and will be omnipresent in this world. This can be seen with the repetition of words like ‘the’ and ‘and’.
I think that the final stanza of the poem expresses confidence and acceptance. The speaker does not seem to be afraid of the world she now inhabits. Instead, the speaker is firm the statements made. There is a tinge of what seems to be regret when she states each day “feels shorter” but I think the aspect that makes such an unsettling impact on the reader is how calm and composed the speaker remains as she abstractly references time.
The effect of the long stanzas on responders reflects the passing of time and the flooding memories. Memories triggered by the meeting a childhood friend and the realisation that the person can transcend death because of memories, love, family and friendship. Love and friendships enshrined in memory will protect the persona against time and mortality. No change has occurred in the persona’s stubborn and determined nature — “I could walk on water” to “in airy defiance of nature”. However, she now realises that “no hand will save her”, but the poem ends in peace and acceptance, as death will be followed by eternity - “waters that bear me away forever”.
Every time she mentions something about the caged bird being free it really paints a picture on how she wants it. SPEAKER: The speaker of this poem is a very deep poetic type of speaker. But I know the speaker in this poem that Maya Angelou wrote is Freedom because you can feel it when you read it. TITLE: This poem is about people’s freedom no matter what the race is. And it doesn’t have to be limited to just race it can be any obstacle in your
Ana Briceno ] Love Without Barriers: Virginia is the Inspiration for Annabel Lee The poem “Annabel Lee,” by Edgar Allan Poe depicts a deep grief towards the death of his beloved wife and cousin, Virginia Clemm. Throughout the poem, the narrator expresses the melancholic emotions he suffered after the death of his beloved one, however the feelings towards her were so intense that not even death could separate them. Poe expresses, in his letters to his Aunt Maria Clemm and friend, George Eveleth, the passionate affection he had for his wife, Virginia, as being intense and eternal. The feelings that Poe expresses throughout his letters are the same feelings he expresses in his poem; therefore Virginia is the inspiration of this poem. Virginia suffered from tuberculosis and died in 1847, two years prior to the writing of Poe’s poem; her death caused Poe to enter a deep depression.
