Being Out Of Room Analysis

The narrator in this story is suffering from a mental conditions, referenced to be postpartum depression (Gilman 491). This is not a condition that would have been understood by anyone, and therefore, the way it was treated for the narrator makes sense for the time period. She was confined to a room where she was forced

Throughout the book I learned that Jack is a bit irresponsible and troublesome for a brainiac kid. He is a history buff and would much rather read a dictionary before even touching The Hunger Games or anything like that… because Jack is terrified of death. In the summer of 1962 he is has to learn how to cope with his fears. In fact one main theme in this book is growing up. But before he does, he gets himself into a ton of trouble from firing a sniper rifle to mowing down his mom’s corn. Now he is grounded for the summer! His vacation plans are completely

Stockholm Syndrome is a strange and exceedingly complex condition, most commonly seen in victims of a hostage situation, or similar experience. It is characterized by the victim developing positive empathy towards their ‘captor,’ and negative emotions towards others who seem like they are of help, such as doctors or police officers; another, lesser known, part of Stockholm Syndrome is the fact that the captor creates an emotional bond with their hostage as well. Rarely do the impacts of this disorder subside once the immediate danger has concluded, and often do they continue into years, and possibly decades of therapy.

The last scene that I chose is when Jack asked his mother to let him visit the room. I like this scene, and found that it has the three features that reflect a good literature that should be considered when we need to perform any type of literature; which are universality, individuality, and suggestion (Yordon, 2002). This scene reflects a child thinking of the place he was born and lived in. Even it was just one room, Jack felt that he misses it, and miss the plant, chairs, wardrobe, sink and skylight. However, when his mother asked him if he wants to close the door, he said no because he did not want to be a prisoner again. This conflict feeling would be happening to any child or even any ages of people around the world. Moreover, the suggestive

A topic of special interest in social psychology is that of stockroom syndrome. When a man or a woman is placed in a predicament where they feel extremely intense terror of physical harm and are convinced that all sorts and form of control is in the hands of their tormentor, a common strategy implemented for survival can cause for the captive to establish into a psychological response that can include sympathy and support for their captor's plight. Generally, when there are feelings of trust or fondness that are developed and felt in a great deal of cases involving kidnapping or hostage-taking by a victim towards a captor it is known as Stockholm Syndrome.

The positive bond that that captives develop with the captive takers is termed as Stockholm syndrome. The media has reported some high profile cases although any international classification system has not described any such diagnosis. The study aims to collect the evidences in order to identify whether Stockholm syndrome is an urban myth or it is psychiatric diagnosis.

The hostages do not fully understand what has happened and why they do not hate the kidnappers. They begin to wonder what could have caused them to have sympathy or to favor the kidnapper. It is very had for the former hostage to get a complete answer of exactly why the condition occurs because it is very complicated and hard to understand. Over the years of studying the psychological condition, several factors have been discovered. The hostages begin to think of the kidnapper in a more positive way after they are given a good place to stay or even after the kidnapper gives an act of kindness by not killing the hostage but simply injuring them. The hostages begin to sympathize for the captor or develop a relationship once they begin to understand what might have made the kidnapper do this crime, and after living with each other for a long period of time, they realize how much they have in common. Stockholm Syndrome normally occurs because the hostages feel that they must pretend to be on the kidnapper’s side or even do acts of kindness for them so that the kidnappers are less likely to harm them or kill them. After the long period of pretending, they begin to believe that it is the right thing to do and they fall into practice of it. After they develop this condition, they have symptoms of the following: resisting attempts of rescue, defending the captor, refusing to testify against captor or running away from them and they become in need of treatment. Treatment is key to adjusting to the life the captive had before the hostage event. Obtaining counselling from psychiatrists and guidance counselors can be very effective to help the former hostage remember how life was before and why they are having these feelings which can help make the feelings go away. Support from family members and friends and talking about the situation with them can help the former hostage to remove

Trafficking has a major impact on the emotions of the females being trafficked. Many of these women turn to drugs to cope with this emotional stress. This emotional stress can consist of shame, grief, distress, and suicidal thoughts. The trafficked also sometimes experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PSD), insomnia, depression, and anxiety.

The director, Lenny Abrahamson portrays the personalities of the two main characters, Ma and Jack, by the way they act and how they respond to different situations. While in room Ma tries to protect Jack and tires to give him a childhood as normal as possible. She puts on a brave face and responds positively to situations when around Jack to keep him happy, even though she is scared and far from happy herself. This shows how Ma has a caring, thoughtful personality and puts Jacks life and happiness above her own. Which shows how strong she is. Jack is always full of energy and has a positive outlook on everything. He treats everything and every object in room with respect and love which shows his loving, thoughtful personality. It also shows how he is oblivious to the outside world and that he believes room and everything in it is all there is. This also shows a vulnerable side to Jack. When they escape room both Ma and Jack respond to the situation differently. Jack is scared at first, unsure about everything that is new to him. This shows how sensitive and exposed he is. He then becomes adapted to his new life and starts to become more at ease. On the other hand Ma finds it much harder to adjust back into the world, and struggles to fit in and carry on with life normally. She is angry for what happened to her and takes it out on the ones she loves. This shows Ma’s sensitive side and shows her true emotions. This also

Their peers at this time are also partaking in extracurricular activities and finding their own passions. This can also lead to an increase competition amongst peers as they strive to “be the best.” On the other hand, the inferiority comes into play when a child feels inadequate or does not have a strong sense of self in their social environment. Since there is an increase in competition amongst peers, there is a great deal of social comparisons occurring, especially in the school environment, which can also make the child feel inferior to their peers. It looks like Jack found an interest in computers and sports, which are also age appropriate interests for his age. However, it seems the academic setting is an area he struggles in since that is something that makes him frustrated. Perhaps because of his clinical diagnosis of ADHD, sitting in a typical academic classroom is challenging for him, and he feels inferior and frustrated that he cannot do what his classmates can do. He experiences industry in his interests of sports and computers, but inferiority when it comes to his

Nobody likes to wait, right? Now imagine that you are waiting with a broken arm, a nasty cut on your hand or for a much needed prescription. These types of conditions can test even the most perseverant among us. Waiting room times in emergency departments and at private clinics are growing longer every year. How can we make this more bearable for ourselves?

The end of this story is very bizarre. The narrator locks herself away in her room. She tares, bites, rips, and destroys the yellow wallpaper that is keeping this woman trapped inside. She seems to go totally insane. When her husband is finally able to break in he seems shocked by the pure insanity of his wife and faints. The narrator is convinced that she was the woman trapped inside the wallpaper and that John and Jane kept her trapped inside of it. In ripping all of the wallpaper off she was able to escape and they wouldn't be able to put her back in, no matter what their efforts. It’s a personal gain for the narrator because she finally realizes that her husband has trapped her inside of this home and this illness. She feels as if he’s

In addition, the purpose of this paper is to identify the kinds of influences Jack has had throughout his life and how they

“I don't like our room a bit. I wanted one downstairs that opened on the piazza and had roses all over the window . . . But John would not hear of it." It was also one of the reason why she fell deeper into mental illness/madness. The idea of spending weeks isolated in a room without stimulation sounds like spending an eternity in the abyss. Without the stimulus of anything productive, the boredom can cloud out a person’s consciousness and perception. So writing in the diary was one thing that delayed the narrator’s descent into madness, it gave a way to express her thoughts instead of keeping it locked inside like herself being caged in the room. Most of the narrator’s depiction of the house, in particular the wallpaper was a contradiction between the differences of her inner life and outward appearance. Her need to express the details of the mysterious figure in the yellow wallpaper mirrors her interpretation of her own physiological conditions. At one point of the story, ". . . Really dear you are better!" her husband said. "Better in body perhaps -" I stopped short, for he sat up straight at me with a stern, reproachful look that I could not say another word. This was another evidence that showed her husband had complete control over her. If she was to even hint at the idea that the rest cure wasn’t working, she knew that wouldn’t end well as a more severe treatment could be in store for her. Even thought she was liberated at the end of the story, it was actually more that her inner self broke free and escape into being. So in the end, she was still confined away in exchange for the freedom of her inner

A number of years later at the age of twenty eight Jacks lives a fairly standard life he graduated top of his class in the New York City police academy and is now the lead detective in the local police department. Furthermore Jack married his high school sweetheart Katherine and has one daughter named Jennifer. While this isn’t his ideal career or life choice he still fairly satisfied because he still gets to save people and stop criminals all while still obeying his mother’s request of having a normal life *conformity*.
