Of all the forms of literature, the most interesting might be the fairytales, or the science fiction thriller about robots.

Memoir is real, memoir is true, and memoir can range from any end of the ocean in structure and theme.

Patrick Dismuke was a young African American boy, at the age of fifteen when the story starts, and a regular patient at Hermann Hospital. Patrick was born with a severe case of Hirschsprung’s disease, a disorder of the digestive tract, and was unable to digest his food. Throughout Patrick’s life, he spent more days in the hospital than out and came to be quite comfortable with the environment and staff at Hermann. Due to his disease his only way of nutrition was through a feeding tube, unfortunately these tubes often got infected.

The importance of empathy in any helping profession, medical or social, cannot be overstated. The workers that exemplified it in their practice did the best that they could with their limited resources.

In Crystal Eastman’s Now We Can Begin, Eastman was successfully able to orchestrate the issues facing women by conveying the significance of social, political, and economical change after women gained the right to vote. Her work was so well written in the 1920’s that it is still applicable today, long after women have gained the right to vote. Additionally, Eastman used ethos, pathos, and logos to motivate and persuade the reader. By the tone and communication of her words, Eastman was able to paint an intricate picture of the issues that women faced in the 1920’s and made the reader feel involved and called to action.

Is Empathy a prerequisite for a good Therapeutic relationship? If so, what is the optimal degree of Empathy required for a positive Therapeutic outcome? In the recent years, much emphasis is placed on understanding what "ingredients" in Therapeutic relationship contribute to a positive outcome. Many researchers have attempted to separate essential aspects of the Therapeutic relationship. Rogers (1957) quoted three essential aspects that were vital to attain a "psychological climate" in where a client could reorganize himself. These aspects were characterized as genuineness in the relationship, acceptance of the client (warmth), and accurate empathic understanding of the clients’ phenomenal world. Findings of previous studies shows that these three aspects are separate and can be measured independently (Bergin, 1967; Truax, Wargo, Frank, Imbe, Battle, Hoehn-Saric, & Stone 1966).

Time, said to be eternal, possess neither a beginning nor an end. Yet however there is a fixation on being able to measure it in years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds. Trying to save time with new technology, manage time with multi-tasking activities. All in the hopes of giving meanings to the past, present and future. The past is able to been seen but not changed, today is in the present yet still unpredictable, and tomorrow is not guaranteed. If I Could Tell You by W. H. Auden is a villanelle much like others using rhyme, repetition, and meter, that revolve around the main idea of the continuity time and its unforeseeable nature.

"I look for any sort of color, any movement, any wind that might blow across the land. But there is nothing. The entire landscape is a monochromatic patch of grey and black." The Mogadorians attacked their planet when the nine Garde were so young they can hardly remember it, or being gathered together, placed on a ship and sent away to earth for protection while they grew up and their planet was destroyed. These nine Garde had special powers called legacies that they only developed when they reach age 15. The Garde were sent to earth with their Cepans, protectors, so they could develop these legacies, and stay safe until they were old enough to fight the Mogadorians and take back their home planet Lorien. The book I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore takes place Ten years after the attack on Lorien, John Smith, number four, is being hunted by the mogadorians and only just beginning to develop his legacies. John is moving to a new town for nearly the 20th time and has the pressure of the mogadorians chase as well as the

I particularly like in part two that Rogers discusses the idea of empathy. I have learned that empathy is not just a valuable quality to possess, but that in some ways it is the quality which will make or break your relationship with your client. Empathy to me shows me that you actually "get" what it is that the person is trying to relay to you, it does not mean that you are feeling sorry for them or that you want to know exactly what it is that they are going through, but instead you are willing to look at experiences through their eyes and to see the world as they see it in order to understand their perspective and point of view. Part II also discusses some of the challenges to the helping profession as it was known to him at the publication of this book. Rogers in particular discusses his desire that future psychologist will be born not so much with a standard university idea of what is to be expected in a uniform ideal way, but that they will possess the ability to think on their own and with their own ideas they will be able to reach to a larger population of persons.
