These experiences are what Craig Silvey willed upon us the audience in his novel Jasper Jones. Like giving us, the readers a panic attack in chapter 1 or making us give up during Charlie’s library experience.

From Holden’s testimony of the event that led to his enrollment in my program, I have concluded that Holden suffers from anxiety disorders. More specifically panic attacks, and more seriously, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In the story that Holden I see many examples of these two disorders, along with a strong fear and resentment of impending adulthood. This Mixture of confusion and dread, led him to me. I do, though, believe that Holden can recover and be admitted back into society.

Melinda got tired of living the pain. “Jeans that fit, that’s a good start. I have to stay away from the closet. I will make myself normal. Forget the rest of it,” (chapter 59, page 125).

She is now taking control because having flashbacks and trying to forget is not helping.

As she grows she discovers more of what she is capable of. Now she realizes that even though she is going crazy, she is still alive. Above all, she does not want to hide anymore and is not afraid to come out of her shell of guilt. “I don’t want to hang out in my hidey-hole anymore…. I don’t feel like hiding anymore” (p.191-192). She comments about not wanting to go back to her closet because she is not afraid of what might happen to her. In the same way she says that she, in no matter what condition, is still alive and breathing. “I have survived… Confused, screwed up but still here” (p.188). She is happy that she survived and that it does not matter if she is frustrated, she still has to stay for the ones who love her.

Everyone has a different way to deal with overwhelming situations. It can be more difficult for people with mental illness to cope with the hardships of life. For instance, in “Horses of the Night,” the character of Chris has dissociative symptoms that can be linked to his depression. Margaret Laurence’s short story tells the story of Chris, a young teenager who moves to from a small farm to the town of Manawaka in order to go to high school. The story is told by his younger cousin, Vanessa. As she grows up, she learns that Chris is depressed. The author uses the theme of fantasy to show that he does not cope well with reality. The horses, Shallow Creek, and the children are symbols that show us the fantasy that Chris lives in.

Teen depression is a serious mental health problem that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest in activities. It affects how a teenager thinks, feels and behaves. It can cause emotional, functional and physical problems. Holden Caulfield lost his younger brother Allie to leukemia when Holden was thirteen years old. Following the death of Allie, Holden broke his hand punching the windows out of the garage of their summer home. Holden’s mindset reveals depression is the cause of his struggles. Depression was actively present in Holden’s behavior. The source of his depression was the death of his brother Allie. Holden was aware the entire time of his impending punishment.

In chapter four of the book; he introduces his readers to a Vietnam War veteran named Herbert Richardson. Herbert’s diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder sent him straight to a prison cell because of a murder. Due to Herbert’s PTSD; he was sent to a veteran hospital to recover from his severe head pain which were caused by his time on the battlefield. During his time in recovery at the hospital; he met a nurse which he loved because of her compassionate care towards him. She did not live in New York, so eventually it came time for her to move back to Dothan, Alabama; thus, Herbert followed her to back to her house in Alabama. The nurse and Herbert entered into a brief relationship with each other, but the relationship didn’t last long. She wanted to end the relationship by staying away from Herbert, but Herbert didn’t want to have any of it; he wanted to constantly be near her presence. Eventually Herbert became corrupt, dangerous, and irrational because of his obsession with the nurse. He, at one point, got so obsessed and infatuated with the nurse that he came up with a plan to woo her and they would live together happily ever after. Unfortunately, Herbert’s plan didn’t work out well, as a result he ended up unintentionally killed two little girls in his neighborhood when a bomb exploded in front of their innocent faces. He was charged for their murder; however, the prosecutors didn’t consider his mental health history. This perspective of Herbert is unfair and uncompassionate; the prosecutors should have taken Herbert’s mental health history into account for the murder charges. Herbert should not have been sent to jail; he should have been sent back to a mental health facility. At a facility, he is able to be given the proper care he needs and he is able to be supervised,

Also, the switching of private schools and the way his parents are always neglecting him is another reason of his depression. An example of how they describe Holden’s depression is found early in the novel. In chapter 1, Old Spencer says “Life is a game boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules.” Then Holden replies with, “Yes sir. I know it is. I know it…Game my a**. Some game. If you get on the side where all the hot-shots are, then it’s a game, all right- I’ll admit that. But if you get on the other side, where there aren’t any hot-shots, then what’s a game about it? Nothing. No Game” (Salinger 8). This quote shows that Holden is a victim of depression and in his thoughts he compares himself as not being with the “hot-shots”, which means that he is alienated in society. However, in A Separate Peace, Gene doesn’t have this conflict because he belongs to a club. This club that he is in is called the Super Suicide Society in the Summer Session where his major conflict started. When Gene causes Finny to have and accident, it haunts him throughout the story. As it haunts him, it develops their friendship into a relationship with jealousy. While this continues, Finny encounters another accident from the confession of the first accident and breaks his leg again. As a result, Finny dies through a surgery from his injury and Gene puts himself in a situation of guilt because if he didn’t break Finny’s leg

Who is the real winner:Sentimental value or monitary value? placing a value on memories is there an actual price?

Over forty million Americans suffer from a mental health condition; and, unfortunately, fifty six percent do not receive any treatment at all. “Mental illnesses are health conditions involving changes in thinking, emotion and behavior”(Psychiatry.org). People live with their conditions even though their quality of life and personal relationships may be negatively affected. When one lives in a state of denial about having a mental illness, they are cheating themselves out of living life to their fullest potential and will achieve true freedom only when they face the illness head on and seek recovery.

Eugenides utilizes tone in the story to help readers develop sympathy and pity towards Callie. All throughout the passage, the tone of the story is serious. Callie acknowledges that “her mother was crying in the next room, and the doctors were working on Callie’s disease in secret.” The statements convey that Callie’s parents are also disappointed and ashamed of what their daughter has become. Callie understands that her mother sheds tears thinking what she has done to deserve a defected daughter. Callie’s parents are so ashamed and overwhelmed that they took Callie to New York to try and heal in secret instead of in the open. Callie’s parents do not want others to see what has happened to her out of concern for their daughter’s social life as a normal individual. The thoughts and emotions expressed give readers pity towards Callie and her condition. Callie muses that “she longed to be held, caressed, which was impossible.” Callie wishes to be comforted and surrounded by others that loved and understood her. Unfortunately, Callie views herself so much like a monster rather than an individual that she is too far long to be comforted by anyone. Readers infer that Callie is

Within their jointly authored case study entitled Deep Smarts, Harvard professors Dorothy Leonard and Walter Swap seek to quantify the intangible set of intellectual abstractions which combine to form the foundation of extreme competence in an employee. Citing that rare but harmonious connection between "raw brainpower" and "emotional intelligence," Leonard and Swap posit the existence of "deep smarts," which they define as "the stuff that produces that mysterious quality, good judgment" (2004). Seemingly an amalgamation of human attributes which aid in decision making and critical judgment, deep smarts would appear to be the highly functioning union of intuition, instinct, intelligence and insight. The authors base their conception of deep smarts on the value of firsthand experience, by noting repeatedly that deep smarts are "based more on know-how than on facts; comprising a system view as well as expertise in individual areas" (Leonard & Swap, 2004). According to the authors, most corporations and large-scale organizations have members, from executives to temporary employees, who possess deep smarts through the "judgment and knowledge - both explicit and tacit - stored in their heads and hands" (Leonard and Swap, 2004), but these valuable assets are routinely overlooked and underutilized. The purpose of the case study is to present managers, and others responsible for maximizing an organization's efficiency, with viable methods for identifying those employees with deep
