Good And Evil Reflection

Within this essay I will be concentrating on explaining how an individual can implement reflection in their learning experiences. Applying skills of reflection to a particular learning experience such as induction week will be the main focus of this essay as it will convey the importance of reflecting upon the experience of working with other students.

Imagine a society where there is no individualism or creativity and all life choices are predetermined from the moment one is born. The Giver, written by Lois Lowry, tells about such a society from the viewpoint of an eleven-year-old named Jonas. In his world, there are countless laws to ensure everyone’s equality, prevent war, and to keep the people from feeling pain. Sadly though, they withhold the joyous experiences of life. The Elders or the government of the society gave one person the authority to hold all the memories to protect the citizens. This person is the Giver. When chosen to be the next Giver, Jonas embarks on a journey to release the memories to everyone. He wanted people to live a true and free life. This novel is the quintessential example of a book providing the reader freedom and values. Similar to Malcolm X’s liberation that he speaks about in “A Homemade Education,” The Giver has provided me, not only with more knowledge but the desire for independence. Malcolm X understood books were powerful tools that provided a whole new world to readers through deliverance and self-growth. The Giver is an influential novel that has played a significant role in my self-development. It has shaped my attitudes and beliefs towards obstacles in society by realizing that the world presented in The Giver, is comparable to the real world.

Throughout the book people keep dying. As each person dies, the story gets more and more suspenseful. The author, Agatha Christie, is able to make the story so suspenseful through the use of various craft moves such as symbolism, foreshadowing and inner thinking.

This reflective essay will be adopted from Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper’s (2001) reflection model. This reflection is based on a case study that I have read and will be based on the intervention I have chosen to treat the patient. Mr. Castello was admitted to the ward for observation after a fight and sustaining a laceration to his right forehead from a beer bottle and extensive bruising and scratches to his left arm. Mr. Castello had a pre-existing chest infection, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and asthma. Assessing, cleaning and dressing his wounds is an integral part of his treatment, as his DM can lead to delayed wound healing and increased chance of infection (Salazar, Ennis, & Koh, 2016). This could be successfully achieved through

Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the greatest of them all? I ponder over this question as I stare vacantly at my reflection. It shows myself at the age of four, wobbling back and forth like a rocking chair, nerves and empty thoughts racing through my mind as I stand at the very front of the line on the first day of kindergarten. It shows myself ten years from now in a stable job as a successful lawyer on a more busy than average day. It shows me my struggles, my doubts, my anxieties, and my failures. It shows me my successes, my euphoria, my dreams, hopes and aspirations. It shows me my teachers, my peers, my culture, religion, my friends, my mother, my father, my brothers. Myself. I see the world,

I do not recall learning about reflective practice in my undergraduate studies. Reflective practice according to Barbour (2013), “is the cyclic process of internally examining and exploring an issue of concern, triggered by an experience, which creates and clarifies meaning in terms of self, existing knowledge, and experience; resulting in a changed conceptual perceptive and practice” (p. 7). According to Barbour (2013), reflective process has many positive outcomes to help guide the nurse to become an expert nurse that can make on the spot decisions that do not interrupt patient care. I feel that reflective practice would have been beneficial to help guide me from a student nurse to a practicing nurse with critical thinking skills.

Julia is able to gain her courage due to the betrayal of her ex-best friend, Hanna. In the beginning Hanna was Julia’s closest friend until she moved to Utah to fulfill her religious beliefs with her family. While Hanna was in Utah she befriended another girl causing her to grow apart from Julia on her return. “In that moment I recalled a pale redhead named Alison, who had been Hanna’s best friend before me. This was years earlier , fourth grade.

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

People often express love and care in many different ways. Both of the characters sacrificed their favorite thing for the other person. Their sacrifice provides a great message of love. The author wanted to show that people will do anything for love. The author showed this through the characters actions, feelings towards each other, and sacrifices they both make.

For the last six weeks in both mental and acute setting, I have reflected on events that I had met in each week. Now, I am going to identify essential personal learning outcomes from those events and will include personal awareness of strengths and weaknesses. Among the different models of reflection, I will use the Gibbs model of reflection which entails six stages such as description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan.

As a middle schooler, I have experienced success and failure. Sports in middle were not always good for me. In some cases I was the only one struggling personally. Other times it was my whole team and I that were struggling. Instead of giving up in these moments and just quitting the sport or blaming it on someone else, I tried to be a leader and help myself and others to get better.

As we begin to wrap up this semester, I reflect on all the learning and achievements I have obtained thus far in the program. Throughout this semester, my communication and relational capacity has grown, driving me to break out of my comfort shell. At the beginning of this year I had wrote a letter to myself, outlining three goals that I wanted to achieve. The three goals were: work with a palliative client, become more assertive, and to integrate family care into my practice. I began the semester off in acute care, on the medical floor. During the second part of the semester, I was assigned to be in the first group of students to start the Trail Outreach Nursing. My new placement has created a new goal of increasing my communication

The inspiration for creating “Of Two Minds” (Munro, 2016) began when reviewing a course reading for our first class, by the City of Toronto entitled “Quick facts about homelessness and social housing in Toronto.” (n.d.) I was drawn to a particular statistic that showed approximately 447 people slept rough (on the street) on one night in April of 2013. (City of Toronto, n.d.) With this stat still lingering in the back of my mind, an epiphanic moment arose when my instructor outlined our final project parameters. Allowing for an alternative medium through which I could express my acquired course knowledge, I formed a short narrative in my mind that I knew would lead to a greater understanding of homelessness for myself and perhaps, my classmates.

What is the influence one classroom and one teacher can have on a person's writing? The answer being “a lot” because being a part of one English class my sophomore year made it possible for me to understand more about writing and the skills needed to achieve at the process. The teacher that I had such great communication with that year not only made it possible for me to understand what I was doing wrong, but how I could fix my problems. Without changing my writing from the past, I would still be stuck with essays and papers that lack flow and structure. Writing is such a great skill that is strongly needed in the field I wish to study and eventually one day work for in the future. While to some English and writing may not be important,

The Giver is a morally driven and thought-provoking story about a young boy called Jonas who lives in a society free of crime, sadness, pain, death, music, color and love. The story follows Jonas as he receives the memories of the past, good and bad, from the current Receiver, who is called the Giver. The Giver transfers memories by placing his hands on Jonas 's forearms. The first memory he receives is of a thrilling sled ride, which he will remake in the end of the movie. Jonas discovers the dangerous truths of his community 's secret past. Armed with the power of knowledge, which he knew about from memories (Ways of Knowledge), Jonas realizes that he must release all the memories to the community to allow them to feel
