Left The Room Vital Signs
1,058 wordsI have attended to many deaths in my short career as a nurse. I guess that is the hardest part of geriatric nursing. I remember one man in particular, Joe . He was a veteran of World War II, and a retired mechanic. He was nearly 90 when I met him. His beloved wife of 45 years, Sara, had died only months earlier. He was diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In this disease, the lungs lose their elasticity and begin to fill up with fluid. Eventually, a person will literally ...

Easy To Understand Worst Thing
1,090 wordsA small, dark room, with lots of books, a radio in the corner and a big mess. In the middle of the room is a small bed. There is no TV, no computer, no play station, no modern technology, just only one small radio and a night lamp, which is on the desk. And of course, beer and liquor bottles arranged by the wall. But most importantly in this ugly dark small room is the small bed that is only mine and no other beds, which means that this room is only mine. This was three years ago. Right now I li...

Midnight Summers Dream Vision
1,770 wordsA Midsummer Night's Dream begins in the city that was, to the Renaissance imagination, the center of ancient Greek civilization. (Romanticized) Athens stands as a testament to what human beings know and are able to know. But throughout this play, Shakespeare delights in de centering the world mortals take for granted; soon the audience learns that the dark forest is the center of the play's world, relegating Athens, center of the civilized Greek world, to the periphery. Day gives way to night, a...

Submarines In The Revolutionary And Civil Wars
995 wordsThe Trident Submarine houses twenty-four nuclear warheads with each having a range of 4, 600 miles over land.

Symbolism And Imagery In A Midsummer Night Dream
1,286 wordsIn A Midsummer Nights Dream, William Shakespeare brilliantly uses the night as a motif which plays a valuable role in the play. He combines this motif with the related symbols of the play to demonstrate the power of night and its correlation with love and vision. He uses symbolism and imagery to develop the motif and makes extensive use of the night forest which, in part, helps the situation of the four young lovers, one of the main plots of the play. It might seem strange that Shakespeare would...

Heathcliff Has No Love Shedding A Tear One
1,259 wordsBronte's describes the young boy, Heathcliff, as " dark, almost as if he came from the devil, " immediately spurring the reader to view the character as evil and immoral. His actions from thence forward largely tend to enhance this notion.

Mine Own Loves Fear Of Trust Line
519 wordsThis sonnet demonstrates Shakespeare's great ability of playing with words. According to him a person is tongue-tied when he has either too much or too little to say. He illustrates his idea by giving an example of an unperfect actor who forgets his lines on stage and more curiously, some fierce thing whose heart is weakened by the weight of his own strength. This use of paradox adds intensity to the sonnet and lays the foundation for the following quatrain. The first quatrain is like the silenc...
