His family abandoned, his son not even knowing what he was like had to ask his neighbors. A comment was made to his wife about missing him and she replied, “I already have. Missing him all these years.” (Goodman 398) It is important for a man to have balance in his life. Men can get so engulfed into their work that they forget to enjoy their life and before they know it, it’s over. Phil had a heart attack because he was so stressed out from work, and he didn’t have a life outside of work so he was always stressed out.
My first love is shattered by separation across the globe. As he watches the girl he loved in a casket, he tells us how "unreal" the situation was for him and how he never fully accepted her death. My parents decision to move to the United States was also unreal to me. I could not accept the fact that I had no say in this matter because of my age and because my parents were the ones with "autority". I remember crying every night, feeling deviastated about the situation and my fear of separation.
The 5 examples I will be writing about include disability, racism, gender, age and religion. Discrimination against someone's age happens in many different environments, for example, in some nursing homes, the elderly with dementia are treated very poorly and as if they are nothing. This has been seen in television programme's such as "Panorama undercover elderly care" In this programme an elderly woman was bathed and put to bed, however she was also beaten by care workers and man-handled. When her family came to see her and questioned why bruises were forming they said it's because of the aspirin. This affects the client because she will not feel safe in a place that she calls home and will always feel paranoid because of the constant physical and verbal abuse which can make the client become depressed.
A few other patients in the waiting room scoff at the notion he will ever be seen and they are right. Travis is told that his life-threatening situation “will be reviewed”. Before Travis has the chance to leave he goes into cardiac arrest in the lobby and then and only then is he admitted to the hospital for care. There wasn’t money or room for him, but the administrators could not let him die in the lobby. Even after the cardiac arrest and surgery, the administrators try to release Travis from the hospital.
She was struggling with what I interpreted as post-partum depression. To this day physicians are highly regarded members of the community. Since her husband and her brother were physicians Jane was regarded as even lower on the class system. She was afraid to tell him things she was feeling because John disregards what she thinks about things. She was held in that room and forced to try to work through her “state of mind” basically
1. "He could no longer see the hospital that lay across the way, whose all too massive prospect he had earlier cursed. If he had not known very well that he lived in the quiet, but distinctly urban Charlotte Street, he could have believed that he looked out of his window into a desert in which the gray sky and the gray earth merged indistinguishably." (626) 2. "In listening to his mother's words, Gregor realized that the lack of any direct human communication over the course of the past two months, together with the monotonous life he led in the midst of the family, must have deranged his mind..." (628) 3.
During the reporters first days there he found that some of the staff ,as a first resort restrained the patients. They were left to sit and watch tv or sleep in their rooms, no real activities took place. However what the reporter witnessed on a daily basis was very disturbing, hitting, slapping, bullying, dousing with water, cruel and pointless use of restraint on vulnerable people , alot with a child like view of the world. Some of the patients were like a plaything for the staff to taunt. The failure by nearly all the staff to care for these people is undeniably overwhelming, even if some staff did not take part, they witnessed it and said nothing.
The character Dr. Kim Reggis acted impatient when he wanted to know what was wrong with Becky. For example when he was in the waiting room with his ill daughter him being impatient caused him to be become very upset. When he went to the counter to see if he could get his daughter in to see a doctor sooner and was told that he had to wait just as long as the other people in the waiting room he said “I’m going to complain about that woman. Kim said 65”. Kim thought that since he was a doctor there he could get special treatment.
And the only thing that kept him going was his dad but the chance of getting separated from his dad was devastating for him. He was constantly hit with life and death situations throughout the whole year he spent going from camp to camp. Elie and his father had to lie about their age to even stay alive. “Here, Kid, how old are you?” “Eighteen” This helps keep him from being burned in the crematory. He was scared, felt lonely and wanted to do anything to stay alive.
DewayneQuochytewa Sept. 10,2014 Eng. 102 J.Witt The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman Why was John’s wife not allowed to write and leave the room? John was a physician who took care of his wife that was diagnosed as having temporary nervous depression.But if she was john’s wife why was she locked in a room that was described as a small room with yellow wall paper that had a bad smell to it and with bars on the window. I had to read this twice, was a confusing story. Maybe she was mentally ill and could not take care of herself.
