Left Neglected By Lisa Genova

At the beginning of this novel, we were introduced to Sarah Nickerson, a Harvard graduate, with a good paying job as the vice president of Human Resource at Berkeley Consulting, three kids, and a sweet husband. However, she was career-driven and dedicated to her job to afford to live in Welmont and to be able to take care of the family as her husband is trying to survive the second round of lay off at his work. However I noticed that this job put a lot of stress and strain on her and her family, as she didn’t get to spend a lot of times with her kids or husband. In the morning on Friday, she would get her kids ready for school but her and her husband would rock, paper, scissor on who would take the kid to school and when she didn’t have to, she was pretty happy. The day of the accident was when she didn’t have to take her kids. As she was trying to make a phone call, she crashed and ended up in the hospital for eight days. I like how this book go into details of her life before the accident and then illustrates her life afterward.

Majorie Lee Browne’s personal life reminds me of a story from a friend, Jessica. Jessica’s mother passed away when she was only six years old, that is really young. She grew up without a mother and was raised by her working father; that must have been hard. Jessica probably must have been confused and sad seeing her friends with mothers, but not her. Stereotypically, people who has lost their mother or father, lives a horrible life in depression and negatively. However, she lived for her mother; she thought of her mother to never give up. Jessica’s mother constantly told her to never give up and keep going to live a comfortable life. Jessica, now, graduated from USC and is now practicing to become an ER nurse. It is unbelievable that she can have so much motivation to keep on going, despite the dramatic event that

In the short story “The Harvest” by Amy Hempel, an unnamed narrator is in a horrible car accident, where her leg is permanently disfigured. The story takes place after the accident, when the narrator is attempting to process the life changing event that’s just happened to her. The story is broken up into two parts,in the first part she describes the accident and the aftermath - the accident, the hospital, the recovery. But she opens the second half of the story by admitting that not everything we just read is factual. The struggle she is having throughout the story is to cope with and understand her accident, but her emotional distress inhibits that. The narrator conveys her instability and vulnerability that the accident caused in through the ways she decides to alter the details of her story. Although she goes through the process of reflecting on why she does this, she doesn’t come out the other side feeling less confused about why her accident happened to her, or any less unstable and vulnerable.

My intention in writing this paper is not to point out Lisa Lowe’s failing topics, but to broaden the discussion that she initiated by including my knowledge and cultural point of view as a Luso-American. I want to make an effort to include my single cultural contribution to her initiative. I truly believe that other reader’s contribution to this approach will point historiography into the right direction of realistically interpret history as it happened according to every party involved in its holistic context. To do so, I will compare her work with other authors that focus in the same issue of indentured workers, Chinese and others, in the same period of time, and the cultural aspect that she brings up in her discourse. I also wish to make

Today historian Lisa Minardi, an alumni of Ursinus, visited the Bears Make History Class for lunch. Now, it should be no secret that I'm an undeclared history major, and that I hope to go far in my application of history in the future. I say this so that you can better understand just what it meant for me to get to listen to and interact with an actual historian, someone who's living the life I one day aspire to have. I mean what Ms. Minardi has managed to do since leaving Ursinus is simply astonishing, and quickly won over my adoration. I was especially impressed by her role in saving the Speaker House, the home of Frederick Muhlenberg, in Collegeville from ruin, and her efforts to see to the building's restoration. In addition, her collaboration with the people in charge of Henry Muhlenberg's historic house was quite noteworthy, in that she somehow managed to increase the building's yearly visitor attendance from 100 people to around 1,600. One could easily credit Ms. Minardi with saving not just one but two historic buildings, and, by doing

Thus, it suggests that the left hemisphere of Tim’s brain suffered during his stroke, because language processing occur more in the left side if the brain. In general, the left hemisphere concentrates more on tasks that require verbal competence, such as speaking, reading, thinking, and reasoning.

“I don’t know,” “I was tired,” “I didn’t want my husband to get involved.” Those are all responses of people who could have saved Catherine Genovese’s life, but instead she was stabbed to her death.
