Breathing In Dust Analysis

The article “Sleeping in the Dust at Burning Man” was written in May of 2014 by author Ron Feldman. In it, he explains the festival of Burning Man, as well as the festivals unique and striking connections to the texts of the Talmud which are a series of Jewish laws and traditions. It’s obvious from the opening few paragraphs that the author is very knowledgeable on not only the festival itself, but the text he’s comparing it to. The purpose of this article was mostly to inform and entertain the reader, which it does so quite well. This article provides an interesting insight of the festival itself as well as the religious text the festival seems to parallel. So, not only does Ron Feldman have an extensive knowledge about religion as well as the Burning Man festival, he also uses this knowledge to construct a well written, and entertaining article that achieves all eight elements of critical thinking.

When Breath Becomes Air is a newly published book that I found myself captivated in until the very end. This book reminded me a lot of Being Mortal, which is another book that we sophomore nursing students need to read this semester. Both books kept me coming back, wanting and needing to know what happens; both books having their struggles, and both books following around males in the healthcare industry. When Breath Becomes Air follows around a young male neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi, who is striving to finish his residency and take his place as a neurosurgeon in the real world. After slaving way for numerous years through undergraduate, medical school, and residency, Paul is more than ready to make it on his own as both a neurosurgeon and a neuroscientist. When Paul is making his final stretch at the end, he winds up in a place he never imagined himself: the patient bed. Paul is diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer at a very young age, the late twenties/early thirties age, something that is very uncommon. The book shows his struggles physically, emotionally, and mentally as Paul and his wife Lucy fight the never-ending battle between a person and cancer.

The QUEST storyline is one that can be found in almost every book, and Luís Alberto Urrea’s The Hummingbird’s Daughter, is no exception to this claim. While Teresita struggles with many conflicts and adventures throughout the text, the final scenes are most exemplary of the QUEST described in Thomas Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor. Rather than traveling to Arizona, she is instead learning about her ability to decide her own life choices and the power she unknowingly holds. John G. Neihardt’s Black Elk Speaks also is fit with the QUEST storyline. Among many examples, Black Elk’s return to the Black Hills from Canada sticks out, as during the trip he uses his powers for the betterment of his people for the first time, realizing his true potential.

Daughters of the dust revolves around an early 20th century African American family from Ibo Landing which is a time not shy of racism and slavery, especially in middle America. The scene depicted in the movie where a young girl is running through the forest in an all-white dress with a blue ribbon who seems to be being followed by a man in a hide and seek manor. The young girl disappears and the man stumbles upon a plot of land that is a graveyard, with headstones made from wooden planks, the man observes his surroundings. Presumably, this girl in white is the young voice narrating the next scene which pans through steam over to a flash back of the ancestors who were slaves. We look across a field of men and women who are working over these steaming wells, as well as the people in the background hanging soaked sheets up to dry. We see these people mixing over a steaming hole in the ground scraping around a grey paste. The workers then begin to pull the paste out of the steaming pits and scrape it into wooden molds. They appear to be making cement blocks as a young boy watches and older man collect all the wooden brick molds and systematically knocks the brick from the mold and piles them orderly on both his left as well as his right. While doing so he sings an old hymn, the boy seems to enjoy watching this process. Throughout the entire scene, there is a narration of a girl which speaks

Did you know that chinchillas took dust baths? Well Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Colorado had took their own in the years of 1930’s. The Dust Bowl was a ten year dust storm that was a continuous downpour destroying millions of agriculture and lives of thousands of people. The Dust Bowl later called the “ Dirty Thirties” was caused by a continuous drought that happened a year before the Dust Bowl and the next ten years of it. Over the ten years of the Dust Bowl, the more time that grew the more dust and destruction it caused to everything around it.

I would tell the doctor to stop if he didn’t start and grab a manual ventilator and try to find a replacement mechanical ventilator.

In the novel Out Of The Dust, by Karen Hesse, there were two meaningful phrases that enriched the story. These were “A sea of dust” (33) and “Out of the dust” (197). These phrases were significant because they gave the setting of the story and the theme of the story, about how Billie Jo came out of the Dust Bowl strong.

- Assess the frequency and depth of breathing. Tachypnea and shallow breathing often occurs because of the movement of the chest wall and the lung fluid.

The narrator starts the story lamenting on her past. She mentions the miserable state she has always lived in, bringing up what is assumed to be the Great Depression. Our narrator has childhood memories set during the Great Depression, an event lasting a decade from the late 1920s to late 1930s. She states that she was fourteen approaching fifteen years old. The real variable is how long after her anecdote does this story take place?

I then needed to carry out a respiratory assessment. I observed Mr Brown’s chest for any visible signs of scars or trauma. This appeared normal.

Air contaminants: are particles, liquids, and gases in the air, which have dangerous chemical properties that affect our health. Air pollution happens when there is an abundance of foreign substances in the air, this happens when there is an abundance of factories releasing harmful gases into the air. The Contaminated air can enter the body by four major routes: 1-Inhalation (breathing): Contaminated air in the workplace can be inhaled. Air is drawn through the mouth and nose and then into the lungs. 2- Skin contact: Chemicals that pass through the skin are nearly always in liquid form. 3- Digestive system (ingestion or eating): Chemicals can enter the stomach either by swallowing contaminated mucus which has been expelled from the lungs, or
