Trudeau was voted to be the fifteenth Prime Minister of Canada from April 20, 1968 to June 4, 1979. Trudeau has put a lot of effort into making Canada a better place and he was truly passionate. His actions spoke louder than words and he proved to a lot of Canadians how he was the best Prime Minister of the Post- war Era in a lot of people’s eyes. Back then, a lot of people liked and supported him and his actions, that’s why he has been re-elected and continued being Canada’s Prime Minister from March 3, 1980 to June 30, 1984.

Because the story is told from the point of view of the doctor, it is possible to see what is happening to his thoughts as the stubborn child further agitates him. He begins his examination as usual with a calm collected mind, but as times goes on he become more and more forceful and eventually he become simply cruel. The doctor is obviously in an unstable state of mind because as he tells the story the tone remains calm but the events become very violent. Also the doctor makes it very clear that he find the young girl attractive which is rather disturbing. As the doctor become more agitated he begins to show features of child molestation or rape. He takes out is anger on her by forcing a tongue depressor into her mouth and cutting it open. It is evident that the girl is becoming more fearful as the story progresses because the doctor takes note of her breathing becoming more rapid. The doctor feels a physical release when he finally pries her mouth open and reveals that she has been lying about having a sore throat. The parents allow the doctor to be dominating because they fear the child will die of an unknown sickness. However, the child is left feeling violated and abandoned by her

As soon as the physician arrives, he notices the child’s penetrating stare, which seems to be filled with fire, indicating that this task will not be easy nor will it be over quickly. He can instantly feel her distrust of him, despite there being no expression on her young face. Initially the physician believes that he can easily win her over and gain triumph in his pursuit to diagnose her and cure her, and possibly safeguard the public from the spread of diphtheria. He tries to approach her in a welcoming and peaceful manner in order to gain her trust. He tries to reassure the young Mathilda that he will not hurt her and that he has her best interests at heart. However, the girl remains persistent. Even though he is trying to utilize his typical professional behaviors and methods to regulate if Mathilda has a sore throat or has diphtheria, she obstinately snubs all attempts to get her collaboration. At this point, it appears that she may win this contest.

Canadian history has been profoundly shaped by numerous events. The fifteenth Prime Minister, Pierre Elliot Trudeau remains one of the greatest citizens to define the nation’s identity. During his fifteen years in the position, he makes multiple decisions and contributions of great importance towards the growth and prosperity of Canadian society. As a result of his ambitions and efforts, widespread popularity known as “Trudeaumania” begins as a phenomenon that had existed like no other before his time (Gwyn 14). “He touched the dreams of an entire generation of Canadians” and his fame will continue for future Canadian generations, as his accomplishments positively affected the country, leaving an enduring legacy that propels a still-flourishing Canadian ideal of peace and perseverance (Gzowski Peter and more 50). Further to his overall popularity amongst Canadian citizens, Pierre Trudeau is a defining figure in Canada’s rich history, as he unites Quebec with the rest of Canada, he is responsible for the passing of both the Constitution Act in 1982 and the Multicultural Act in 1971.

The chief cut him off. “How, exactly, would you know he was a Doctor if you only read to page 50?”

Some of Ellis's uncertainty passed when he returned the safe ground of his profession, and spoke in a colder, more clinical tone, attempting to remind himself that girl across was him was a patient, one that needed help. And, that, imagining her as a sexual object, whilst simultaneously attempting to convince Emily not to view herself that way, was a conflict that wouldnt' end well. However, as he finished his summation, ensuring his voice was strong, and contained a certainty; one that he, as a male, a doctor, and years of life experience should be accepted as a greater authority than her; McHugh could retained the image of Emily, bent over, mouth open in pleasure, firm, young tits bouncing, as he fucked her on his desk. On the sofa, with

John justifies his behavior by telling her “I am a doctor, dear, and I know”, but instead of helping her this makes her afraid of him, and unable to talk to him (Stetson 6). She tells us that it is “so hard to talk with John about my case, because he is so wise”, this shows us that John’s ‘superior wisdom’ does affect how she feels about her husband especially when he makes comments telling her to trust him “as a physician when [he] tells her so”, this isolates her even further (Stetson 6). Though John has good intentions for his wife, he is unable to see that he may be wrong about how ill his wife really is, and how his evaluations are

His fever began to rise and he became more and more listless as she held him. He even refused to eat and just sat staring blankly out of the window. As they got off the train, she asked her cousin if he knew of a doctor in the city that could help her boy. He just shook his head.

He was there to plant the seed. He knew the moment he saw the girl he would show her that there was a choice. Open her eyes to the inspirational, What if? What if I don’t have to bust my butt so hard to make it into MED school? What if I don’t have to follow the rules like everyone demands of me? What if I could cheat the system? Get all the acclaim and reap all the benefits without putting in the work, without paying the price. Wouldn’t everybody do it? Maybe, I’m just smarter than everyone else…

there were clear sexual undertones to act of violence that the doctor directs against the child. everythings in the story could have been change if instead of been a little girl it would have been a boy. as the short story goes on the doctor dos start getting violent with the pleasure of attacking her. "I could have torn the child apart in my own fury and enjoyed it. It was a pleasure to attack her. My face was burning with it." The doctor clearly thinks that he could enjoy attacking her. the girl resists as she would resist to a sexual assault but what the read don't realized that she is not resisting because it hurts her but because she doesn't want her parents to find out that she might have diphtheria. the parents never intervene because they fear losing her that for her to be hurt because the doctor use his force over her.

He didn’t really notice how much time had gone by until someone placed a cup down in front of him, it was after the morning rush and he now reading the latest medical journals. He looked up and thanked the small brunette lady, he recognised her as the lady who normally yelled out the orders. He took out his wallet to pay her but she waved it off. “It’s from that guy over there” She said, pointing to hipster kid in the window who was furiously typing away at his laptop.
