The memoir consists of a period of time after his high school years when he is in college, but goes deep into the background of his previous school years as well. Many times over, he reiterates that living with obsessive compulsive disorder is not a choice and that any mental disorder can drastically affect a person’s life. Throughout his years of school, he explains the predicaments the disorder had gotten him into and how most of the time he had overcome them. Eventually problems began to pile on and he had to get treatment, which became a turning point in his

This exaggerated startle response when he feels threatens shows another sign of PTSD. He is miserable of having these experiences and feelings. His “abnormalities” leads to the clinical depression of him. Therefore, he’s been hospitalized, and “damaged”. Last year, his best friend has committed the suicide. Charlie locks himself and sincerely believes himself of being a loser. He can’t protect his friend or anybody. He is fully isolated from the outside world. This could be the reason why he loves to read and write. Even though the PTSD and depression put barriers on him to make friends and blend into the social stream, he finds his passion for reading and writing, as well as music. In addition, it gives him the chance to be connected with Mr. Anderson, his English teacher, and Sam, his love.

He feels lonely, blames himself for his aunt’s death, abuses substances at parties, and has thoughts of suicide. Before he returns to the mental hospital, the camera shows him reaching for a knife. This moment suggests he would have committed suicide if his sister had not sent the police to his house. His depression could have been caused from his PTSD and feelings of loneliness. He was lonely on the first day of highschool because his best friend had also committed suicide the May before. He even describes to his new friends, “I didn’t think that anyone noticed me” (Perks of Being a Wallflower). He describes himself as “getting bad again” when his best friend dies, when he has not seen his friends for two weeks, and when his friend group leaves for college. These are all times when he may have been feeling lonely. He reveals his PTSD and depression through his relationships as well. Charlie is close to his family and reveals he has not spoken to anyone outside his family since the school year, but he meets seniors who help him find his way. He is loving, caring, and thankful for his friends and is sad when they leave, and he even stands up for them after they had asked Charlie to stay

This funny book takes place in a farm setting, as farmer brown tries to get his cows to stop typing on their typewriter, as the cows complain about how cold the barn is and requesting blankets, going on a strike when farmer brown declines their offer, these cows have more in mind than just some electric blankets.

Click, Clack, Moo Cows that Type” by Doreen Cronin talks about cows and chickens that negotiate to get electric blankets. Even though this is a book intended for children’s entertainment it is believed that there is a deeper meaning than what is superficially understood by the reader. In a reader’s perspective, the farmer represents the authority and the cows and chicken represent workers. Just like the animals, the workers do not have a voice. Thus, once the cows and chickens find the old typewriter in the farm they see it as a way of speaking and a way to gain the empowerment that they have been lacking for a while. This can be seen when the cows first leave a note to protest, when the cows decide to include the hens, and when the hens decide

Sadly for Cameron, he is unable to outgrow his bubble, as his time with others slowly dissipated, once he contracted Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Overall, Cameron did not manage to ‘navigate his world,’ as his time was quite limited, but he did bring up many issues about the difficulties that happen with growing

Charlie was always happy and never saw the actions people were exhibiting as rude, but more as funny and playful; they just wanted to have a good time with him. The reader must consider that, “…there are everyday satisfactions, too, that we often overlook like offering a kindness, telling the truth, having a good idea, paying our bills, learning something new... In their own way, these moments bring a kind of bliss, too…" (Kunst 1). For Charlie, things conformed differently, and stuff that seemed so simple like paying the bills and irrelevant like telling the truth meant everything to him. Charlie Gordon didn’t understand the way people were treating him because of his mental disability. Charlie lives alone and doesn’t understand that the reason he doesn’t have contact with his family anymore is the result of his disability. The people around him ignored him, and he never understood the concept. In the article “‘You're Not the Same Kind of Human Being’: The Evolution of Pity to Horror in Daniel Keyes's Flowers for Algernon”, it is pointed out, "if Charlie is unaware of his powerlessness in the midst of science, he is also unaware of his isolation in the midst of society. His family has previously abandoned him, something Charlie is only vaguely aware of... " (Cline 2). This quote challenges ignorance because if Charlie would’ve known all of this information before his operation, then he possibly wouldn’t have put as much effort into maturing and becoming intelligent or even gone through with the procedure caused from his lack of drive and

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding frequency on performance of grazing beef steers. Thirty-two head of crossbred beef steers were weaned and shipped from the Brown Loam Experiment Station in Raymond, MS to the White Sand Unit outside of Poplarville, MS. Cattle were weighed and re-vaccinated upon arrival, and then allowed a week for acclimation to individual feeding tubs. The steers were then stratified by body weight into three treatment groups of eight head. The treatment groups consisted of: control, no supplemental feed; weekly, supplemental feed fed once a week; and daily, supplemental feed fed daily. Initial body weight was recorded, after which, each treatment group was maintained across three pastures with ad libitum access to mineral. Feed and pasture samples were taken during the study to determine nutritive value. Treatment group 1X was fed once a week anywhere from 6-9 lbs. of feed depending on stratified body weight, and were allotted 45 minutes to one hour to finish. Treatment group 7X was fed anywhere from 0.9-1.5 lbs. of feed depending on stratified body weight, and were

This experiment will be conducted using fifty Angus calves born within 2 weeks of the same date. To insure the calves are born within this time frame the calves will be collected from cows that have been inseminated from the same bull at the same time and tested positive for pregnancy. These calves will be castrated with the Short scrotum method with the use of a rubber ring. This method involves restraining the calf, preferably in a squeeze chute, and taking a tool to expand the tight rubber band and placing both testicles through the band. While doing this the band must be firmly against the naval at the base of the scrotum before releasing the rubber band. Twenty-five of the calves will be castrated at a week old. The other twenty-five will be castrated at the age of

Canadienne Cattle are dairy cattle that originated in Canada and is starting to become more popular in the United States. Canadienne cattle were the main cattle breed up until 1850. The breed developed it’s own official herd book in 1886 when they were almost extinct. The population of the Canadienne was nearly 300,000 head before the book was developed. Today, the breed is not as common, but it still thrives (The Canadienne Cow, 2009).

Going Bovine is strange and interesting story that really twists and turns with your ideas on what the book is going to be like. That being said, I thought it was a very good book, with enough sarcasm and swears to keep the rowdy teenagers, like myself, interested. The book starts off with your standard issue apathetic pot-smoking teenager, slowy making his way through high school. This teenager named Cameron Smith, after several hallucinations and bouts of excruciating pain, is diagnosed with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, the human form of mad cow disease. He ends up in the hospital for several weeks, next to as he puts it, a neurotic dwarf, that’s roughly his same age. After an angel comes to him and tells him about a quest he must
