This assignment helps me a lot to organize myself and learn about the time management. Poor time management skills can lead to anxiety, depression, procrastination, frustration, anger, and diminished interpersonal, and occupational interaction (Marcil,2007). From occupational analysis question one pie chart (figure1) about the activity differentiation, I found that education and performing ADLs was two of my major occupations, I am spent most of the time in these two occupations. Also, I found that work and IADLs were my next two priorities for occupations and I spent very less time for play, leisure and socialization.

The most powerful insight provided by this text is into the nature of fear. Edgar Allen Poe uses this text to illustrate the paralyzing control that fear has over all humans. An important item in the text is the shear dread that overtakes Roderick Usher. This fear was best described when Usher stated, “I dread the events of the future... I shudder at the thought of any, even the most trivial, incident... I feel that the period will sooner or later arrive when I must abandon life and reason together, in some struggle with the grim phantasm, fear,” (Poe 299). Usher fears such a large number of small incidents that could potentially happen, he is living his life in fear. Roderick believes that this terrible dread will ultimately kill him. This sense of fear is rather extreme, since Usher believes it will kill him. The dramatization created by Poe helps to show the power that fear has over everyone. He furthers this by making the reader afraid, largely with his descriptive language, such as, “I looked upon the scenes before me-upon the bleak walls-upon the vacant eyelike windows-upon a few rank sedges-and upon a trunks of decayed trees-with… the hideous dropping off of the veil,” (Poe 294). The language is ridden with despair and an anxious fear, painting a horrendous scene in the reader’s mind. Poe uses the fear created from images similar to
