Exit Pursued By A Bear Summary

First, I would like to clarify the term sexual assault for the purpose of the study. Their version of the term is closer to rape, including non-consensual sex. One in ten adolescents has perpetrated an act of sexual violence and violated someone else’s consent. That research found significant evidence to back up the “nightmare” that Daisy faced after her own assault. “One in seven teens who has committed sexual violence don’t believe they did anything wrong, and 50 percent actually say the victim was at fault for what happened(Culp-Ressler,

E.K. Johnston draws information from Shakespeare’s, “The Winter’s Tale,” to write her book, “Exit, Pursued by a Bear.” For example, E.K. Johnston bases her story’s conflict on Shakespeare’s work. The conflict in her story is how a girl struggles to obtain control of her life after being violated (Johnston 58); whereas, Shakespeare’s story conflict is about a woman was falsely accused of having an affair and suffered injustices (2.1). Johnston’s story is very similar to Shakespeare’s, because both have a girl or woman struggle because of other’s actions. Hermione in “Exit, Pursued by a Bear,” struggles to manage of her life after she was sexually violated, and Hermione in “The Winter’s Tale,” was in prison because her husband thought she was

Today, many kids don’t know how to deal with the trauma after they were raped because the subject is so taboo that they feel as if it was their fault due to the fact they were never told otherwise in a safe environment. Schools don’t talk about sex unless they are enforcing a strong message of abstinence. This leaves a lot of gray area for most teens today. Because of this, adolescents don’t know the line between consensual and non-consensual sex, who’s to blame in a situation like Melinda’s, and if it is okay to ask any questions about the subject. Kids who were raped and going through this struggle will start to find a way to blame themselves. Victims of sexual assault feel like they need to “confess everything [and] hand over the guilt and mistake and anger to someone else” (Anderson 51). Victims of rape shouldn’t

Will Swim Chapter 1 “Don’t Eat the Bear” This chapter talks about the history of the little town of Guadalupe. It focuses on more of the important events in the town. The main example is the conquistadores who ate a poisoned bear and died. This chapter also talks about more than just Mexican and latin cultures, it also talks about Chinese and Japanese people.

Love exists in the short story “The Bear Came Over the Mountain” by Alice Munro and in the short story “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” by Raymond Carver. in Munro’s short story the plot is that of a mentally ill wife, Fiona, who falls in love with another patient while her husband still tries to hang on to their old love. Her husband eventually wants to have an affair with the wife of the man his wife is having an affair with. Their love changed because of their circumstances due to ill health. Carver’s story discusses the different definitions of love due to the type and quality of relationships; everyone has a different definition. Love also exists all over the world within different environments and cultures. The concept of love depends upon the environment in which it inhabits. Love is dependent on the life of the people in love and it also depends on their current environment. Nature and nurture are also huge factors into the development and process of love. What nature and nurture mean is whether it is due to how the person lives and acts along with their personality compared to whether it’s all in their genetics beforehand. Love is more on the nurture side instead of the nature side of human experience.

Flannery O’Connor’s novel The Violent Bear It Away tells the narrative of Francis Tarwater, a boy kidnapped by his great uncle, Mason, as a baby, to be brainwashed into believing he is destined to become a prophet. He spends fourteen years isolated in Tennessee’s countryside to be taught evils of the world, the rage of God, and to resent his family, especially his atheist uncle, Rayber, his legal guardian. After Mason’s death, he sought Rayber and is exposed to secular and urban lifestyle. Tarwater must learn to adjust from life in the country to the city and learn for himself what is true, while Rayber attempts to make a civil, educated man out of him.

One of the main issues that comes with sexual assault is the what constitutes as consent, because so many people view what qualifies as consent differently. Consent is when the word yes comes out of your partner’s mouth. (whether it be a hook-up or your partner). A study was done and it showed that 47% of those who took the poll believe that if someone takes off their clothes they are consenting to have sex (Weiss). That is not consent. Consent is receiving a verbal yes, not a moan, or a head nod, wearing certain clothes, or even drunk flirting. Thankfully colleges and universities have started having classes and presentations that go over consent among other things related to sexual assault at either orientation or they are courses the

They don’t want their parents to look at them and think about her or his experience with sexual assault. I feel like its important for parents to establish the idea that every child can always count on their parent for support no matter how difficult the situation is. Parents should be more open about this topic, no matter how difficult or awkward it may be to discuss. I feel like if a parent watches to ask questions about sexual assault on the school where the child is applying to they can but how are we supposed to know what their saying is true. For example, for years universities have promoted their schools by saying their academic levels are high and that there is no violence or sexual assault on their campus, mean while we just learned that there is a lot of sexual assaults on campus but the survivors are just being

Few people will ever see or come in contact with a grizzly bear. But Todd Orr, a Montanan from southwest Montana, was one of those few who has. In an article from New York times by Christine Hauser called “In a Montana Bear Attack, Lessons on Hope, Survival and First Aid,” explains what Mr. Orr did for survival and first aid to get away from the angry grizzly. The New York Times is an American daily newspaper that was founded and published in New York city since September 18, 1851. Christine Hauser is a writer that works for the New York Times.

It is not reasonable or effective to attempt to stop all forms of sexual assault with one plan. A plan that would most beneficial in preventing sexual assault is to educate teens and adults about the consequences of participating in sexual assault. Consequences include suffering the punishment of the law but also the emotional damage associated with it. Specific forms of sexual assault that should be focused on the most are rape and molesting. All forms of sexual assault are serious and should be focused on, but these are particularly important because they often affect the victim severely emotionally and physically. Some components of my plan include educational programs that can be presented in schools and support programs for people who

Sexual assault is any physical contact without the persons consent forcefully. Sexual assault is a huge problem today since many women and men face assaults in many places such as in colleges, military, families and prisons. The rates of assault are getting higher in women than men and it occurs frequently in professional areas. Even though there are different types of acts and nonprofit organization preventing sexual assaults it isn’t doing much in these areas. People need to effectively change sexual assault by educating people at a younger age.

What if a rapist was coming at someone? Do kids know what to do besides lie on the ground and cry? What if a teenager had an unplanned pregnancy? Do they know their options about abortion or adoption or keeping the baby? Will young adults know the results of their choices? Sexual education teaches all of the following, and kids in the curriculum are more likely to defend themselves in a plot when they were approached by a stranger (“Teaching children in schools…”). Sexual education teaches students about sexual health, abstinence, and information such as contraception, condoms, unplanned pregnancies, and sexually transmitted diseases (“Sex Education Programs”). Comprehensive sexual

     Sexual assault is a term that is used interchangeably with the word rape. The decision on whether or not to use the term rape or sexual assault is made by a state’s jurisdiction. Sexual assault is more readily used in an attempt to be more gender neutral (National Victim Center). Sexual assault can be most easily described as forced or unconsentual sexual intercourse. The individual that is performing these acts on the victim may either be a stranger or an acquaintance. In 1994, 64.2 percent of all rapes were committed by someone the offender had previously known (Ringel, 1997). Regardless, this type of crime can have extreme effects on the victim.

Unfortunately being aware of these issues also includes knowing about the terrifying stories of people who have been wronged. We can agree to the fact that rape is prevalent in society and that it is difficult to talk about without feeling uncomfortable. The

There has been a rise in incidents of physical abuse to children. According to a WHO study over 50 percent children have faced one or more forms of sexual abuse. Children fall victim to the advances of elders. According to a survey, 50 percent children are abused by people known to them. They keep silent and live with the trauma throughout their lives. Sex education can supply our young people with the tools to report and resist abusive behaviors, and provide them with a forum for expressing their fears and feelings honestly and openly. In a world, full of exploitation, children are the most vulnerable section of our society. They need to be taught the difference between gentle touch and bad touch in order to protect themselves from various forms of child abuse.
