People actually just packed up their life and moved away. Mark Sauer, a Polio Survivor is quoted with saying that Polio ‘was the robber of hope for a generation, several generations of children, there were many other diseases that were bad for America, but Polio broke its heart.’ The disease did not seem to have rhyme or reason and acted much like a tornado, affecting some but not others. With the absence of any concrete knowledge on how to stop the spread of Polio, panic and hysteria took over. Sunday schools closed and children under the age of 16 were not allowed to attend local theaters. Medical professionals and scientists initially blamed the spread on the filth and overcrowding in the immigrant neighborhoods.
The music, in the background “bright lights, big city” is ironic as Melanie insults her old friends at the small-town pub by asking, “how do you people live like this?”. This is like Gwen’s angry rhetorical questions like “Why do they live like that?”. Melanie’s turning point is when she choses to give up the fairy tale to remarry Jake. She realises the relationships are more important. Like in Away, Melanie escapes to the beach in the storm where she meets her true love, Jake.

Critical Lens Essay Existing problems in society terrorize people and cause them to realize their surroundings. Theodore Roethke once said, “In a dark time, the eyes begin to see.” In times of trouble and conflict, people begin to exhibit caution and awareness more often. For moments such as these, accusations are thrown around. This quote is supported by a number of pieces of literature. Macbeth, by William Shakespeare, portrays this statement through the slaughters done by Macbeth the main character.
Sylvia Guérin-Marion Stéfanie Arnold EAE2D1-02 Monday, 26 November 2012 The Ugliness of Evil Stories can have much effect on how people see the world. Stories tell people’s memories and their experiences in a unique point of view. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, many important values are shown and enriched, racism is very flagrant and substantiates all its cruelty and injustice, and all of that, told in an innocent child’s perspective. The worldwide bestseller by Harper Lee is a great example of a story that has profound effect on people. Values are a way of thinking, a way of doing, and more importantly, a way of life.
2. A Complicated Kindness is roughly structured along the lines of the Künstlerroman. Compare the novel's approach to the genre using specific textual references to develop your argument. 3.

Looking at the Assessment Domain (Ballew & Mink, 1996) external resources such as family, friends, work mates and neighbors were again, totally eliminated, income sources were gone due to destruction of businesses, and community support groups were washed away with the rest of New Orleans. Personal strengths such as organization, coping with daily living, understanding the world and caring for ones self also were seriously tasked in the first week of post Katrina, just providing for the basic needs was seldom accomplished. This created further problems with personal factors, sickness, inability to cope and lack of will to continue were the norm instead of the exception. Environmental factors could very well be the defining criticism of the Red Cross, due to the fact that the resources were available, but with the failure to mobilize in time those resources were unable to reach the people in the most need of them. In regards to Service Planning as the next task, again the issue of not being able to envision the magnitude of the disaster hindered the agency from developing sufficient long term goals for relief.

Kahu gets upset when she is yelled at by Koro. If Kahu gets angry or sad, she goes to the beach and sits down to calm herself. For instance, Kahu was upset the night before and the nest morning went to the beach. “I saw Kahu far away silhouetted on the sand” (54).
In the summer of 1995, Hurricane Katrina ravaged much of the Southern United States, most notably devastating New Orleans, where levees did not hold, communities were built below sea level, and the lowest social classes found themselves losing what little they had. Pastor et al. note that we often make the assumption that “natural disasters are a sort of equal opportunity affair” that wreak havoc and suffering equally on their victims, regardless of age, gender, or social class (2006: 1). The events of the days and months following the disaster of Hurricane Katrina, however, reminded us as a nation that this is not the case. Social class and race (the details of this interaction are beyond the scope of this paper) impacted their vulnerability, affecting everything from where in the city people lived to their capacity to evacuate to what they had to return
