Amanda Bradshaw Research Paper

Amanda Calkins is someone that very few people would consider a role model. A twenty one year old girl in culinary school who doesn’t have much to her name other than a beat up yellow volkswagen beetle, a cat named Dinah, and her weekly pack of marlboro red cigarettes that she carries around in her black leather purse. She is always running late, constantly swearing, and has the most unpredictable temper. Her skin is white as the snow, and her edgy black shaggy hair frames her face giving off a very mysterious look. Tattoos and piercings cover her rawboned and angular body, and her baggy clothes make her look all skin and bones. She is a very independent woman who doesn’t let the thoughts of anyone else interfere with her life and has

Becoming a licensed practical nurse is a rewarding job that allows a nurse to care for other people and it has a rewarding salary, while the disadvantages is the lack of sleep and the multiple hours that a nurse has to spend on his/her feet. Cathy Parker is a licensed practical nurse and also a clinical director at Bay Springs After Hours Clinic in Bay Springs,M.S. She has been a licensed practical nurse for twenty-eight years and a clinical director for thirteen years. Cathy has several reasons why she chose her career to be a licensed practical nurse. She says the main reason she chose to be a nurse is because one night at church a little boy had cut his arm and as she bandaged him up God called her to be a nurse. Her second reason she became a nurse is her love for people and wanting to see others properly cared for. As she cared for her elderly grandmother when she was a teenager it made her feel helpful to see someone smile while being cared for. Her favorite part of her job is to see someone who has been in pain, smile after being cared for.

A serial killer is a person defined as a series of two or more murders, committed as separate events. “They are generally cunning, manipulative, and know the difference between right and wrong but dismiss it as applying to them” (Montaldo, n.d.) We are often captivated by what they have done and not in a positive way but the intriguing part as to “why”. In reality I stop to think what was happening to this person or within their minds that caused them to behave in such a way. It’s said that these acts are due to Abnormal Psychology gratification, this is the unusual patterns of behavior, emotion and thought. After thorough research Dr. Helen Morrison believes that it is due to a chromosome abnormality. Dr. Morrison believes that serial killers begin to start expressing these tendencies in their teen

One interesting thing about life is that two individuals can relate to one another and find a sense of mutual understanding of each other regardless of what they have experienced in life and how different those experiences may be. This seemed to be the case when interviewing Amanda McGhie, a twenty-one year old biracial heterosexual woman currently living in Hemet, California. As a nineteen-year-old gay male who grew up in New Jersey, I would consider McGhie as someone I would consider to be very different from myself. She is a math major who has recently started her fifth semester at Mount San Jacinto College and plans on pursuing a career as a math teacher. This differs quite greatly from my own aspirations, as I am nearing

Elise’s bullying story began in the sixth grade, and everything for her was almost perfect. She had a great group of friends, a few boys liked her and she was pretty popular. Obviously, all this was too good to be true. She noticed a girl named Isabelle comment on pretty much everything about her, clothes, hair, shoes, smarts, everything. She was just getting tired of it and asked her to stop. “But,” as Elise recalls, “Jess (Isabelle's BFF) heard me asking Isabelle to stop and told me to kill myself. I was so dazed, but I just ignored it, I thought I was fine, and I had a group of friends that would stick by me.” At least, that's what she thought.

Groaning, I started to climb down the ladder, the cool wood making my feet feel numb. Under me was Alessandra, easily the most annoying and disheveled girl I knew. She was freakishly tall for age eleven, and had stringy blonde hair down to her lower back. Trying to evade her unkempt area and chaotic way of organizing to get dressed, I glanced over at her. To no one’s surprise, she was still asleep. The only person I could think of that was more bothersome than her was Sam. We met at the bus stop on the way here and at first she seemed pretty nice. Then she became clingy. Sam cried over everything. Whether it was not being invited to do something, or not liking what was being served for breakfast, she cried. Sighing loudly, I pulled over a plain grey tank top, leaving my pajama pants on. I could always get dressed after line-up. Per contra, I did not want to look too bedraggled and attempted to tame my curly mess of brown hair. Slipping on my sneakers I wore more like sandals, I was ready to leave. For the people like Sam and Allesandra, they were abruptly awoken and had to leave looking like a trainwreck. Holding back my snicker, me and the rest of Bunk Maple stepped out into the chill morning air of

Think Back to high school, when you were in class with 30 other students. You do all the work, make all the good grades and someone else gets all the credit. In my high school days, we called these people “teachers pets”. These people made it seem like everything was about them. They wanted to control everything and most of the students wanted to tell this student off but couldn’t because the teacher would always take their side. Now, in this play we have a mother named Amanda and like the teacher’s pet, Amanda wants to control every aspect of her children’s life. May I add, that the children that she tried to control are well above the legal adult age. The children, like the other students in the classroom, wanted to tell her off but it wouldn’t be of any value because they had no backing. Amanda is truly the glue that makes this play what it is today. Amanda is the most important character in this play because she wants to live her life through her kids, everything that went wrong was because of her, and because of her nagging ways.

Amanda constantly lives in her past and generates devastating consequences for her children. The fate of Amanda’s children is her fault, crippling them psychologically and emotionally, seriously inhibiting their own quests for maturity and self-realization. Amanda lives in a fantasy world of dreamy recollections, and her children cannot escape from this illusory world either. She suffers from a psychological impulse to withdraw into a fabricated "lost" time.

Amanda laughed at one of her old memories with her mom. She remembered how her mom had looked just like her. The same sky blue eyes, pitch-black hair, and practically everything was the same. Amanda sighed, and her smile disappeared, remembering the day when her mom hadn’t come to pick her and her brother up at school.
