Everything is so beautiful ,also when you adore its beauty.There are two directions one to live your life the way you wish . The second direction power you to carry conflict in your life. A swan is beautiful with diverse shapes and sizes. It just impled as a bird in water ,but it has loads beauty to it. The way the wings are so white. In the poem “The Swan” by Mary Oliver the idea that the people should be open minded it is shown as the speaker goes from seeing the dreadful side in everything to seeing the beauty in a simple swan which was life-changing.

In the article, “Parting at the Crossroads: The Development of Health Insurance in Canada and the United States” the author Antonia Maioni argues various points as to why Canada and the United States of America have such different approaches to targeting the healthcare system. The topics covered by Maioni included, “Health Reform in Canada: The Role of the CCF-NDP”. Here Maioni discuses in great detail, the historical background to how Canada got to where they are in the health system through the ups and downs that occurred in Parliament due to “the public demand for action on medical insurance” which was influenced by the highly successful medical insurance program that existed in Saskatchewan post-world war. It goes to show, that the passing

A discovery encompasses the experiences made by an individual who explores and questions what is known and understood about the world. These types of discoveries can lead to significant ramifications such as transformative perspectives and connect with the universality of specific concepts. The Australian play by Michael Gow, ‘Away’ and short film ‘Time’ express these ideas through their different forms and representations of themes such as the influence of nature and the cyclical nature of different discoveries. Thus opportunities to discover are offered to individuals throughout their lives, allowing their desires to discover to be achieved.

In “En Route” by Abigail Zuger, Zuger compares two doctors one is Dr. Data and the other is Dr. Confidence. She describes them as people who follow the rules to strictly instead of showing a little more compassion for patients. Zuger describes Dr. Data as a “fact man, who is evidence based all the way” pg. (825) and she describes Dr. Confidence as a “Standing joke” Pg. (826) she also says “He seems to know no actual medicine at all” Pg. (826). Zuger says that neither Dr. Data nor Dr. Confidence will last a moment in her world because she treats her patients like people and not just as a simple patient. She actually connects with her patients, not like Dr. Data and Dr. Confidence who would basically spit their patients out of their consultation

Discovery involves entering a new world in which the discoverer is changed forever. A central discovery is that of self-exploration. There is a growth to self-knowledge that accompanies the contemplation of one’s place in the world. An examination of self occurs in different guises: through a consideration of one’s emotional and spiritual aspects and a physical journey.

How being outside can deeply change who we are and how being outside can alter our ways and mentality. After the long two year journey his travels lead him on a path of self-discovery, to examine and appreciate the world around him and to reflect on and heal from his troubled childhood and parents' sordid and abusive relationship. He lives in Alaska for a couple of month reflecting his travel across the nation. He soon realizes that it is time to cross back home, but fails from a raging river. He eats berries because of lack of food but realizes that the berries are poisonous. Shortly he dies of starvation, but towards his death. He concludes that happiness is only shared with others. As his journey went on he reflected on the many times he was happy. All of those times were when he was with his friends on the road. He changed being outside on the road, but felt pure and happy while with others. In my journey I hope to travel to these different places with my brother or my friends. Since happiness is only shared with others I hope that being outside with others and meeting new people will help change my emotional dwellings. To exploring my city and finding the different cultures. While at the same time witnessing the outdoors in different hiking spots and places to walk to. Visiting landmarks and other places to mimic the idea of traveling around the world. Finding an answer or peace within myself. To finding a way to channel my negative feelings to something productive that in the long run will help myself and other people. To finding a solution to my doubts which are blocking me from succeeding and finally coming through and becoming who I want to be and wish to gain from being

"Nowadays the plays' meaning is usually blurred by the fact that the actor plays to the audiences hearts. The figures portrayed are foisted on the audience and are falsified in the process. Contrary to present custom they ought to be presented quite coldly, classically and objectively. For they are not matter for empathy; they are there to be understood and politely added

A play-within-a-play is where a play is presented

There are three distinct levels of action during the play. Firstly, we as the audience see the characters play out the main narratives. Secondly, Shakespeare introduces a play-within-a-play during which the audience observes the mechanicals acting out their tragedy, and thirdly, as part of an epilogue, we are addressed directly by Puck. These differing levels of viewing the play encourages the audience to reflect upon, and compare, the interplay between the levels of address; when the three levels are compared to each other a deeper reading of the play becomes possible, even though the structure is irrational with regards to rational narrative structures. The dramatic conflict is resolved after the fourth act, begging the question of why Shakespeare opted for a play-within-a-play for his final act. The effect of “Nature” (V.i. 278) is contrasted between the main

In conclusion an individual’s journey could always involve the process of learning, maturation and self-discovery as a personal development. Therefore inner journeys increase our personal knowledge and understanding of others, although the play Away by Michael Gow and the film To Kill a Mockingbird by Robert mulligan involve three types of journey. They all demonstrated the inner journey throughout the play and the film giving us an understanding of an individual’s journey could have an impact on others. I would like to end my speech with a quote by Greg Anderson ‘Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing

Mary Oliver, who was acknowledged by the New York Times as “far and away, this country’s best selling poet,” was born on September 10, 1935 in Maple Heights, Ohio. At age fourteen, she started writing poetry about the lush woods surrounding her childhood home. Later on, she drew inspiration from Edna St. Vincent Millay, a poet and feminist, whose house she stayed at in New York. While she was there, she met her lifelong partner, Molly Malone Cook. In the 1960s, she and Molly relocated to Provincetown, Massachusetts. Influenced by transcendentalists like Whitman and Thoreau, she is well known for her themes of the natural world. However, while her earliest poems solely focus on nature, she evolved to become more personal and spiritual by

Life is full of decision making, and many obstacles that will come in your way to try and stop your path and prevent you from achieving what you must achieve. In the poems “A Laughing Heart,” by Charles Bukowski, and “The Journey,” by Mary Oliver, the authors both meet at describing what life is like and how to live life like the fullest, even though there will be things to stop you, and you may stop yourself. Both of these poems point out that you have to be the main character in your life, you have to beat everybody or every obstacle that will trouble you, you must overcome it to achieve the highest points of your life. In “The Laughing Heart,” the author says “and the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be.” (14, 15). Charles Bukowski is saying that if you learn to successfully overcome your obstacles, your life will continually get better because there are less problems to face. A similar line in “The Journey,” is “...as you left their voices behind,/ the stars began to burn through the sheets of clouds,/ and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own,” (24-29). The author is saying that as you started to seize opportunity, solve problems and face challenges in your life, you became stronger, and you became the main character in your life. The theme of these two poems is that your life is your life, and even though you will have to overcome obstacles and face challenges, you must be the main character in your life to live your
