Second, she is, on the outside, everything I wanted to be. Good looks, beautiful, have all the men want her, nice, funny. Then, I look and see all the things that she has and is going through: it makes me realize that it is what she has gone through that makes her how she is. Interest: I feel that T. Smith is interesting just by her history. The things that I learned prior to this assignment and during it, have astonished me.

I loved every detail about it so that’s what I choose when I was picking my electives for my first year of high school. My true inspiration was my uncle and my dad’s cousin who were both in the United States Marine Corps. My uncle (my mom’s brother) was in the Marine Corps as a private first class but was demoted down to private after shooting a firework at a barn that then got on fire. He died on October 23, 1983 in The Beirut Barracks Bombing in Beirut, Lebanon. What inspiring me about him was that he was in the 1st Marine Recon, my mother would tell me great stories about him, and his medal which is the Purple Heart.
Karen Horney had come up with the best theory for Neurosis and it relates to me because I can agree with the needs that it calls for an individual. Even though there are different, personality traits explained in our society now, through its origin, principles, validity, and application, it justifiably aligns with my perspective. Neurotic theory came from the theorists, Karen Horney, who felt like this theory was an attempt to make life better as a way of interpersonal control coping. (Boeree, 2006) In the article, the author leads the reader all the way up into Karen Horney’s life as she begins her journeys as a theorist. After her husband died, she came to New York and there she begins to develop different theories on neurosis.
The similarities between the two characters are very obvious. Both women crave control, and tend to fall apart without it. Both women use manipulation and threats to get what they want. And both women use physical and mental punishment to “teach a lesson”. First of all, both Nurse Ratched and Professor Umbridge have an undeniable need for control,
I have written recreationally for years and usually enjoy the freedom to choose topic, theme, event, and character. Outside my carefully constructed written world, my confident, professional engineer mother makes most major decisions, and I’m content with giving her the power and quiescently awaiting her instructions. I’m not uncomfortable with the situation, because it’s familiar. Every battle, every struggle of one power against another, has at its heart a need for independence. A nation asserts the right to govern itself, just as my mother and I will inevitably butt heads.
Loretta Brown English 101 Professor Omar Addi 09/23/2013 Topic Statement: Revisiting My Past Support Statement: Visiting Oscoda after 27 years Support statement: revisiting my past by staying in the cottage I used to live in Support Statement: Revisiting my prior life Revisiting My Past In 1984, I married my brother’s best friend, a military man who happened to be stationed in Oscoda, Michigan at Wurtsmith AFB. For those of you who are not familiar with Oscoda, it is a small town up north that is 50 miles south of Alpena that sits right on the banks of Lake Huron. Back then, it was a military town that focused primarily on the base. At the tender age of 18, I was plucked from my life in the suburb of Lincoln Park, Mi. and taken to this small town, not knowing anyone, this was a traumatic experience for me.
