He begins to draw others into the tragedy of Eva Smith’s life and death. He attracts the sympathy and compassion of Sheila and of the audience by his clear and hard-hitting description of the girls misery. After the inspector informs Sheila, she portrays a distressed and agitated type of behaviour. On page 17 she says ‘Sorry! Its just I cant help thinking about this girl-destroying her life so horribly.’ This shows Sheila feels commiseration and sensitivity towards Eva and her death which comes across as genuine regret when she realises she could be linked to her suicide.
She often referred to the poet, John Donne, throughout the film to relate her illness to what she loved and studied all of her life. It served as symbolism, representing her view the quality of her life and ultimate mortality. She reflected to the times when she was uncompassionate towards her own students and compared it to the feeling of inhumanity she was experiencing in the hospital. As Vivian’s cancer progressed, she decides to continue various intensive chemotherapies under the care of doctor and former student, Jason Posner, who viewed her as less than a person and more as an objective. On the other hand, Susie Monahan, Vivian’s nurse, served as her advocate from the beginning of her treatments to Vivian’s death.
Paul ponders, “[f]our days left now. I must go and see Kemmerich’s mother [now]” (180). Baumer faces adversity by pulling himself together and informing Kemmerich’s mother on the news of her son’s death, resulting in the downfall of his esteem because of the injustice in his premature death. As Baumer’s esteem is weakened, the soldiers from Owen’s poem have high esteems due to the adversities they face. The soldiers from Wilfred Owen’s poem have solid esteem due to the fact that they are facing the hardships and challenges of assuming the role of combatants.
Today’s health care focuses on quality of life. The experience of watching someone die as a nursing assistant can cause feelings of helplessness.

Often the wounds’ pain drives the sufferer to desperate measures of madness” (6). Granny Weathall’s unhealable wound is her being jilted by a man whom she considered to be a love of her
“And then you’ll patch it up?” says Peeta. Katniss’ willingness to heal his wound represents her loyalty to their friendship.

For this the gods blessed him. The way Argos relates to Odysseus’s part of the passage is how just like the way Odysseus wanted his mother to wait for him, Argos wanted to see his master once again before he died. Argos got his way and with his hateful illness draining his limbs of power his wish came true just before he passed away. Argos was there the whole story seeing everything unfold and he longed for his master to be home in order for him to die peacefully. Argos knew his master was coming and stayed alive just to see him return.
They were seen as saints. This stereotype spanned from 1854-1919. Then came “Girl Friday,” a nurse who was essentially an uneducated hand maiden to physicians, from 1920-1929. This was a deterioration and marked de-professionalization of nursing. From 1935 to 1945, the nurse was depicted as “The Heroine.” Media portrayed images of nurses assisting in emergency situations, and these images intensified during World War II recruitment when “many volunteered for military service and were highly regarded by society.” From 1945 to 1965, the nursing image was “The Mother,” depicting nurses as “maternal, nurturing, sympathetic, passive, expressive, and domestic.” (Kalisch & Kalisch, 1982, retrieved from Wood, 2008, p. 69).
Douglass also gives an example of naturalism while explaining how he felt about his mother dying. Fredrick says, “She was gone long before I knew any thing about it. Never having enjoyed, to any considerable extent, her soothing presence, her tender and watchful care, I received the tidings of her death with much the same emotions I should have probably felt at the death of a stranger” (3). Another prime example of naturalism is when Fredrick Douglass strives to overcome slavery becomes the readers’ example of realism. Douglass shows that naturalism can in fact become realism with his knowledge being used as power to fight his way out of the wretched shackles of
Owen’s choice of words suggests how drained and weary the soldiers have become. In summary, the physical state of the soldiers is cleverly conveyed by Owen’s technique, experience, and his selective choice of words. The mental state reflects the tragic effect war has on the soldiers. “Drunk with fatigue.” This metaphor tells us that the soldiers were not in the right state of mind and that they did not have the competence to make fatal decisions. Owen then goes on to describe how the mental trauma becomes worse.
