Florence Hero's Journey

Since both the uncle and father were always at a loss for words, she’s developed her own. “I am writing this only because they can't,” (p.26). Her Father and Uncle's inability to express their true feelings is her motivation as a

Mission of Mercy is a very powerful story. It represents how Florence feels about women’s rights, and how they are not given to her kind. Florence (a character) feels that women should have all the rights that men do. Florence decided that she wants to be a nurse. “How dreadful! Such a lowly profession…” Said Florence’s friend, which shows how not supportive her friends and family are. Florence is a very bold person. She does not need the support to go on with what she wants to do, even though no one else thinks she is doing the proper thing. In Mission of Mercy Florence’s characteristics are displayed in each scene.

In Martha Salinas’ “The Scholarship Jacket”, Marta is a dynamic character who undergoes character development throughout the story with her understanding of speaking up for morality even under contradicting circumstances. Marta faces challenges throughout the story in fighting to earn a well-deserved scholarship jacket. During the rising action of the plot, Marta overhears an unfortunate conversation between her teachers which leads to her actions of “I went home very sad and cried into my pillow that night so grandmother wouldn’t hear me. It seemed a cruel coincidence that I had overheard that conversation.” (Salinas 1).

The consequences of Charlotte’s change in behaviour weigh heavily on her mind. Miss Hancock is killed, and Charlotte is left in emotional distress as she feels guilty for her death. It is because of how Charlotte now treats Miss Hancock, that she feels guilt. Charlotte feels that she “could have said something. Like thank you for grade 7.” (6) Charlotte feels that a comment such as this would have left Miss Hancock feeling welcomed and loved again. But it is because of the pressures of the classroom that results in Charlotte avoiding speaking kindly of Miss Hancock. As a comment such as this could have definitely turned her into a target of the class as well. Additionally, Charlotte is left in emotional distress after Miss Hancock’s death. Charlotte “stayed home…[and] kept having periods of uncontrollable weeping.” (6) This is a result of Charlotte’s love for Miss Hancock, and her inability to be there for Miss Hancock when she needed her most because of how she was being treated. The social environment of the class prevented Charlotte from indulging in Miss Hancock’s glitzy teaching methods. Her behaviour was forced in to change at that time, because of the hostile environment that her

Flannery O’Connor introduces her reader’s too unique short stories. They are “Good Country People” and “A Good Man is Hard to Find”, having too similar characters in different setting, but with the same symbolic meaning. The comparison between Hugla from “Good Country People” to the grandmother in “A Good Man Is Hard to find” is interesting, because they both suffer the same fate. In every short story O’Connor has created a intellectual individual who comes to a realization that their beliefs in there ability to control their lives and the lives of other are false. They enviably become the vulnerable, whereas they assumed it would be different. O’Connor has placed two misguide characters, that deem themselves to be manipulative and compulsive. At the end up of each short story they become vulnerable. Hugla from “Good Country People” and the grandmother from “A Good

As a gesture of love, acceptance, and forgiveness, the grandmother goes to touch the Misfit; he, however, shoots her dead. The Misfit is aware that “grace worked through him to strengthen the woman’s faith” (108). This scene defines the moment of grace in the grandmother’s life as she was able to fill her conscious with compassion by viewing him as one of her own children. An interesting remark is that the Misfit In the midst of such heartbreak and violence, the grandmother was able to feel love and sympathy towards the criminal. O’Connor emphasizes the dramatic transformation of the grandma in traumatic times from selfish and manipulative to benevolent and warmhearted.

Many people believe tragic experiences only have downfalls. However, at times tragic experiences change people for the better. In “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall”, the author’s use of flashbacks and streams of consciousness narration highlight the protagonist Granny Weatherall’s characteristics of being loving, wise, and hardworking which are shrouded by her ill manner and stubbornness.

Florence: Welcome to the Golden Age’s Medicine and Health Network and this is Florence Lawrence. Today we are broadcasting live at the Carnegie Library in the city now officially called ‘Toronto’. Then we have some interesting facts on the discoveries of health and medicine coming up.

At times, we have to be at the verge of death to come to the realization of important things in life. We tend to be and act a certain way towards others without noticing, until it may be too late. In O’Connor’s story “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” the character of the grandmother portrays judgment, selfishness, and realization. While demonstrating the characteristics of a round character, in all, the grandmother goes from being a ruthless, critical woman in the beginning, to being an understanding, changed woman at the end.

In the year 2004, PBS broadcasted the series, “Medici; Godfathers of the Renaissance”. This four-part documentary, in attempt to gain viewer interest, compared the Medici to the mobsters found in Francis Ford’s “The Godfather”. The relation of the Medici to Italian mobsters in the PBS Medici series is in no way accurate, for they were not villains of the renaissance, but heroes.

Megan Holmes’s “Miraculous Images in Renaissance Florence” examines many of the ramifications of materiality. The materiality, an image’s physical properties, has direct impacts on the expression and popularity of immagini miracolose. These sacred images are subjects of miracles throughout the late 13th to 16th centuries. Two of the most important ramifications of materiality include the accessibility of the religious images and manifestation of the miracles. In this essay, I will explain how the physical properties of immagini miracolose create an approachable atmosphere to religious figures for the common people and how the physical properties directly influence the ways in which miracles manifest. By framing

I think Florence Nightingale should be the next Time Person of the Year because she saw a need to improve hospitals around the world. She helped improve hospitals and women's reputation around the world. She risked her life to help others. She worked in a military hospital and was called “The lady of the Lamp” because she went about helping others at the darkest times. Her selfless attitude makes her a hero. People should know about her life. She made even opened a medical school! She also reduced death counts by two-thirds. If Florence Nightingale is not worthy of person of the year I don’t know what is.

When working with Florence, I will use a strengths approach, which will focus on Florence’s strengths. I need to have the belief that everyone has strengths. I will need to find strengths in Florence and help her discover those strengths, so she can find more effective ways of parenting and be able to regain custody of her daughter. I will have the belief that everyone has worth, no matter what they have done. I also need to believe that people have the capacity to change. I will focus on Florence’s abilities and assets, not her problems. It is important that social workers do not judge their clients, no matter what they do, or have done. It will be important that I not judge Florence for abusing her daughter. I will be an enabler, and supportive, and not tell Florence what she should do. She said that the police were very kind to her the night that Dave died, and it sounded like she appreciated their kindness. I will need to show her kindness and respect as well. That will help foster a trusting relationship between us. I will need to be her advocate as I work with other agencies, especially when working with the child welfare agency to do all I can to help her regain custody of Crystal. I will need to start where Florence is, recognizing that she is the expert of her life. I need to listen carefully during our first interview, and allow Florence to tell me as much about herself as possible, so I can get the best overall picture of her.
