Delirium Quotes

Lauren Oliver once said, “Find the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go.” Despite the fact that Lena is taught that love is a disease and is forbidden, she falls in love anyhow. She comes to realize love is all that matters; that love is something you hold onto, fight for, and never let go of. Delirium is a story that teaches a valuable life lesson that holds true even for today’s teenager: following your heart can set you free.

      Lena can be interpreted from the beginning of our acquaintance with her as a softly erotic beauty who enchants. Even Jim seems convinced of her dangerous seductiveness and in the dream sequence Jim has featuring Lena, she is "a surreal image of Aurora and Grim Reaper as one . . . the archetypal landscape of ballad, myth, and drama, setting for la belle dame sans merci who enchants and satisfies, but then lulls and destroys" (Gelfant 105). But Lena never deliberately participates in or encourages this enchantment, it is the men who follow her and become obsessed of their own will. As Lena puts it when Mrs.

The wilds are a place only invalids escape to, and people who sympathize the ill are sent too. There is no electricity or running water, just the people and their trailers. Escaping to the wilds and being caught is suicide, because the government will kill you on the spot, or you will live a life in prison. Going to the wilds is risky, but according to Lena ,not completely impossible. “‘ I want to run away with you. To the wilds. Like we talked about’’’ (Oliver 374). As soon as the words leave her mouth even Alex is scared. Alex keeps telling her to calm down and think about it again, but Lena knows what she wants. If they escape successfully there is no coming back. Lena thinks if they get caught it will be worth it, and she is not scared. She does not care about being safe and cured, she would rather almost get killed and be with Alex. Breaking laws no longer fazes her, or causes her to think twice. She is only thinking about running away with Alex. Taking these chances to be killed or put in prison makes Lena the bravest character I have ever read

As Jim has also been not been eating or drinking properly for a few days and is only waking to voice. The nurse would assess for any cognitive deterioration in the patient by first discussing with his parents his normal. As Jim usually communicates well and has no cognitive impairments, the nurse would then go on to looking at preforming cognitive tests. These could be the 4AT test, done for every patient that comes into a clinical setting over the age of 65 and carrying out The Single Question in Delirium (SQiD).

hooks explains how when an individual chooses to love at that moment is when a step is taking forward to ending domination and oppression. To love is a practice of freedom and to help others who are blind to become aware as a community. Liberty is approached when love is approached this is when individuals seeks ways to liberate themselves.” The moment we choose to love we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others. That action is the testimony of love as the practice of freedom” (hooks). Oppression and exploitation is destroyed when love comes in and can only be destroyed when everyone as a community decided to take action. Like in North Dakota when even veterans decide to support. Thousands of veterans from around the country traveled to the standing rock and kneeled down to support the water protesters who have been peacefully protesting. Love won and the so did the protestors because everyone came a whole and

Many people are controlled by fear and are made to do things that aren’t right. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, Jews are being controlled by fear and are stripped of their rights. In the present world mainly in Syria, ISIS, the radical group that fights for terror, is doing the same to frighten the world and kill those who don’t obey them just as the Germans did to the Jews. Terrorism around the world is controlling people by fear. For instance, let’s talk about how in both situations the victims decide to realize their fate because of how bad things have gotten.

The free love movement was one of the many social groups that challenged the sexual ideologies of their time. However, free love holds great significance in that their message soon became the “middle-class sexual ideology” (D’Emilio 165). Their message was that “neither church nor state should limit the expression of sexual ideas and feelings; whether in private or public” (D’Emilio 156). They believed that ones sexual expression should be up to that individual. Free lovers challenged the dominant ideology at that time and pushed boundaries of religion and politics.

Upon arrival in America Lena was made to work as a servant, while her Aunt searched for a good husband for her. There was not one moment where Lena questioned why: why did she have to leave Germany and go to America, why did she have to work as a servant, why did she have to go to her Aunt’s house every Sunday, why couldn’t she spend the money she worked hard to make, why did she have to get married when she enjoyed working as a servant for the family, why did she have to marry Herman Kreder when he obviously did not want to marry her. Lena was just expected, as women in that timeperiod were, to just submit to the whims of the dominent member of her family. Lena was so dutiful throughout the story, dutiful to the point where modern day readers may actually get frustrated or angry with this character.

“Well, love is insanity. The ancient Greeks knew that. It is the taking over of a rational and lucid mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself, you have no power over yourself, you can't even think straight,” these are the words of Marilyn French.

Coming back to college has definitely been more challenging than my previous job ever was, but I did love my work. As I have said before I have worked for FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) for the past ten years. Being able to travel and experience the differences in culture from state to state was amazing. However, for me working for an agency that aids so many individuals, cities and states all across the country is an extremely gratifying experience. As for my experience over the past week that is an entirely different story. At first I did feel a little overwhelmed or delirious. Now believe have a better understanding of how much time I will need to dedicate to my studies although I

People cannot help who they fall in love with whether by choice or natural human instinct. In the world where love is to bring together two people in a union to commiserate their love in marriage is a right for all. Defining rights for all comes with sacrifices and pain when fighting injustices in a society, although the constitution states the “Land of the Free”. Love is not a law; it’s an emotional connection of deep affections intensified romantically or in a sexual orientation. However, the definition of love regardless of the persons expressing, is an emotional connection between any man and women, undefined sexual orientation nor young or old. The fight for civil rights will not be over until same-sex marriage is made constitutional, because not only is it a civil right it is a human right
