Junior's father “drinks his pain away” (107). Junior concludes, the Indians drink to feel better, but on the contrary, they sink deeper and deeper into sadness, “all Indian families are unhappy for the same reason: the fricking booze” (200). As we have seen in this novel, alcohol encourages aggression and violence in the family. There are numerous examples of violence related to Junior's best friend, Rowdy, whose father is an alcoholic. Often Rowdy appears with
- First time he has arrived crying (suggest he is over tired from a long night, which may be why his uncles breathe smells like alcohol) - Isolating himself from other children for the first time (suggests he is frightened of others now, or his is copying the behaviour that his uncle showed towards him. - Yelling at other children, suggests that he may have been treated that way (Verbal abuse from his uncle) 2. Which form/of abuse could this uncharacteristic behaviour or indicator be linked to? - Verbal: as the child began to yell at his class mates. - Emotional Harm: Coldness shown to his class mates, although it hasn’t been a long enough period of time to see the extent of emotional harm.
Task 1: Identify two reports on serious failures to protect individuals from abuse. Write an account that describes the unsafe practices in the reviews. Abuse can happen anywhere anytime, but especially to vulnerable people. I have researched into two cases reported for abuse in adults. The Winterbourne case and the Orchid View case.
“Kicking his bed every time they went in, jostling him with his meal tray. Tripping him on the ladders...” “Calling him names like Maladroit” (Card 48). The quote describes how Ender is tormented everyday by Bernard. Bernard wants to suppress Ender so that he would not be a threat to him. Bernard’s actions hurt him a lot and he feels emotionally hurt.
It made me feel sad as hell – I don't know why, exactly”. Even Holden doesn't know why he finds everything so depressing. In this case, it seems that he's upset over Sunny's confinement to her role as a prostitute, her need to hide it from others, and the shame she most likely feels at her occupation. One final example of Holden getting depressed easily is when he says “All the two of them were eating for breakfast was toast and coffee. That depressed me.
Another selection process is the background check. A background check may raise a red flag on certain candidates and save the potential employer certain headaches that are sure to come from hiring the wrong candidate. Drug tests, handwriting tests, knowledge tests, and various other forms of testing may eliminate the candidate who is marginal. The most widely used selection process is the face-to-face interview. Once the application is on file, the references have been called, the tests have been administered, and the elimination process has narrowed the candidate field, it is time for the interview.

A heroin-addicted prostitute, utterly dependent on the terrifying pimp who supplies her drugs, she totters into toilets for regular fixes. She is beautiful, bright and sparky, but wrecked. Joe falls crazily in love with her, and love removes any control he might have had, hooking him into the ugly detritus of a drug-addict's world. Mind you, Joe had little control over his life before, and he constantly feels propelled by circumstances. In classical tragedy, a weakness in the central character inexorably drives the cartwheel of doom.
His first bad choice was entering the bar to have a drink; and drinking becomes the main source of trouble for him. His weak mindedness, allows him to be peer pressured into drinking large quantities of alcohol that allow his dark side to prevail through. The people of Bundanyabba are characterized in a way that does not give them much integrity. “You could sleep with their wives, despoil their daughters, sponge on them, defraud them, do almost anything … But refuse to drink with them and you immediately became a mortal enemy.” This is saying that you could do anything in the world these people and it wouldn’t even compare to rejecting a beer. It creates an overall feel that the Bundanyabba people don’t have self-respect and so arises the theme of alcohol abuse.
Holden Caulfield is "Fed up" Harrison CObb In his conversation with Sally on pages 130 to 134 of the novel "Catcher in the Rye" Holden clearly demonstrates that he is "Fed up". When first read, this conversation appears to be nothing more than the rants and raves of Holden as he spirals into his depression. Sally herself is even frightened by his demeanor as she keeps asking him to stop shouting. It's actually humorous when Holden hears her say this throughout the passage because his response is "…which was funny because i wasn't even shouting."(130). However, when these so called rants and raves of Holden are carefully read, it becomes clear that he is actually making some good points about what it is like to be a teenage boy who's future is laid out before him.
