Christine Padersky Mind Over Your Mood Analysis

In the book Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde imagery, diction, and details help create the mood. Robert Louis Stevenson got the idea for this book from a dream, he then wrote down his idea. But his wife did not like his first copy so he burnt it and then wrote the second version in three days. So in this novel, Dr, Jekyll and Mr, Hyde the imagery, diction, and details help to create a very horrifying mood.

I think the book appeals to everyone who has ever felt rejected, castaway, or uncertain whether their family or friends would accept them if they knew what really goes on under the surface.

The theme of the book is although times can be difficult you have to continue and push forward and patience will have good results.

There were a few points in this book that taught me about life and how crazy it can be sometimes. The photographer named Fulgencio was very afraid of hitch hiking to Mexico City with a stranger, especially with all of us expensive equipment. On the ride, Fulgencio is so paranoid that the guy is going to kill him, he grabs a machete out of the back of the truck. In doing so he gets kicked out of the car and loses all of his photography equipment anyways. This taught me that we need to trust each other more, Just because there are a few crazy people in the world, we shouldn't let them give us all a bad name. I mean, the guy picked Fulgencio up when he was in desperate need of a car, and gives him a ride. He should have been thankful, not picked up a machete and threaten the guy. Another thing this book taught me was that just because your sister doesn't want your kid anymore because she

This book is very important to people who struggles with bullying or those who bullies other, and those who are just

Through out this book I feel it is going to teach me how to change my inner judge. How to except myself and the things that I do. Society, parents and religion are not always right. You can make your own morals and your own values. I will have to continue on to the next chapter to find

In the book I can connect to some of the things in it. In life people have happy things happen and negative things happen. “Life throws too much crap at us as it is, so why hold onto something

It is scary when you don’t know anybody and have to try to make new friends. Many of your young childhood friends will stay with you for a lifetime. Today, I am still friends with many of my oldest friends. They have become like family. I want to say that this novel is a great way for people to see how somebody from a diverse population lives. It is a great book from the view of somebody living a completely different life than I have lived. I think it was very well written and is easy to read. This makes it a great teaching tool for children of younger age groups or college students as well. I read this entire book at one sitting because it kept my interest the entire time. I couldn’t wait to see what

In both short stories, it is evident that aged traditions possess the capability to construct barriers between the strong bonds existent in families. Traditions have the ability to turn

Reading this book is like looking through the eyes of a different life, one where you have one leg and hate yourself for it, one where you are attractive enough that people don’t care how many legs you have and still want to be with you. Reading something like this helps you relate, relate to people who do struggle with less limbs than most, or have cancer and are struggling to live a normal life. It helps you understand what someone else feels and the main reason you should care is if you had to live like this and you had an interesting story about your life, wouldn’t you want to share it, and have people who actually care about it, pretend it’s your story, is it interesting now?

In this book i learned that everyone faces hard things and trials no matter what they are, from losing loved ones to even being in a plane crash. While reading this book i found that you should never give up on what you want most. Brian is just 13 years old and he wants to survive more than anything and after months he does. So I think if we try and accomplish what we want like we were trying to survive then we would be a lot more driven. I also think we take things for granted brian is only 13 in this book he

Yalom, Y.D. (2009). The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients: Harper Perennial

The purpose of this assignment is to review the case study of the therapeutic session of Dr Carl Rogers and his client, Gloria. I will give a brief account of the presenting problem and some theory of Person Centred Therapy to enable me to observe and analyse the techniques used as a strategy to self actualisation. Using transcripts, I will identify some of these skills and observe how effective they were by observing Gloria. I will discuss my opinion of the counselling session and evaluate Dr Rogers’ strengths and weaknesses. In closing I will provide my thoughts as to how he could have improved the therapy.

People should read this book because it teaches the importance of friends and family and it teaches that everybody has personal issues to go through.

I believe that this novel was meant to be read by people who are old enough to understand different struggles people sometimes need to endure to achieve goal. If someone were not to understand this concept then the novel would be “empty,” for them.
