A novelist and a poet, Julia Alvarez is considered to be one of the greats when talking about American literature. At her current age of 64, she has a numerous amount of writings and has won many awards. Personal life experiences from her youth to the Civil War to now have highly influenced her works (Heredia).

As stated by Goodwyn (2014), “It would have been hard to find a happier man than Erick Munoz on that Tuesday morning before Thanksgiving” (para. 1). Marlise Munoz was a 33-year old woman who had brain death because of a possible blood clot in her lungs on November 26. Marlise was pregnant at the time of her death and after her husband found her unconscious on the kitchen floor, she was hospitalized in John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth Texas (Goodwyn, 2014, The Strange Case…). Significantly, the family had expressed that Marlise desire was to not bee keep alive by the use of machines, however, the patient did not leave a written directive regarding her end-of-life care. On the other side, the hospital refused to withdraw the life-sustaining treatment from Marlise because of a provision from the advance directive law of Texas, that cites “A person may not withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment…from a pregnant patient” (“Advance Directives Act”, n.d.). Consequently, the family sued the hospital and after two months of suffering for the family, the judge ordered to withdraw any life-sustaining treatment from Marlise.

Based on the example of Juanita, there are strategies that could be used to help reduce her anxiety that she is experiencing due to having to take a math test. Test anxiety can negatively affect Juanita’s academic performance on the test so it is important for the counselor to be able to provide her with strategies that can help her to cope with the anxiety (Parsons, 2007). Different strategies to help Juanita could include teaching coping skills, study skills, and relaxation techniques (Capuzzi & Gross, 2014; Parsons, 2007). Also, to normalize the strategies the counselor can provide guidance lessons for all students using the same relaxation techniques and provide an overview for teachers and parents so that the same techniques could be used

The following symptoms show the poor adjustment to injuries (Petitpas and Danish 1995); feeling of anger, denial “the injury isn’t a big deal”,mood swing and many more (Horn , 2008). Therefore while observing Maria and see such adjustment she has to be referred to a medical specialist. Horn , (2008) Problem focused strategies can be efforts directed at altering the problem that causes the stress for example gathering history of Maria’s knee injury, setting specific learning about treatment resources and many more not forgetting adhering to a rehabilitation plan, in case try to tell Maria not to dread through the rehab if she wanted to recover (eventhogh she wont be recovering).

The child I chose for this case study is an eleven-year-old boy in the fifth grade at an elementary school in Port Chester, N.Y. I will call him Carlos Luna. Carlos is a Hispanic Student who has two older brothers, one in seventh grade and one in 10th grade. I chose Carlos after observing in the classroom and talking to his 5th-grade teacher. Carlos is very passionate about playing soccer and belongs to the town’s travel soccer team.

The main ethical issue is the Rivera families do not have the legal authorization to work or stay in the U.S. since they illegally crossed the border. The integrity of the Rivera family is in question on rather what else will they do. Even though it is understandable that they came to U.S. for better opportunities and living condition. While the parents are working as seasonal farm workers and raise Juanita and Roberto, they are not paying any taxes to contribute to the country. Because they do not have the social security in order to find a legal job in the state. The worries of getting caught by authority are catching up to them.

When I arrived at Ms. Cortes’ apartment at 8:10 a.m. everyone was up. The boys were playing in their bedroom and Ms. Cortes was sweeping and mopping the kitchen and living room floors. I asked Ms. Cortes to put underwear on the Messiah and set a timer on her phone for 15 minutes. Messiah is two and he is potty trained. Ms. Cortes told me he goes to the bathroom at school, but will not go at home. She has accepted this behavior by putting a diaper on him when he is home. The alarm to help her remember to tell Messiah to go to the bathroom. The first time it went off, Ms. Cortes told Messiah to go to the bathroom and he did. I instructed her to praise him for going to the bathroom. It shows him, how proud she is and encourages him to continue to go to the bathroom. We did this throughout my shift. I noticed that every time Ms. Cortes’ alarm went off Jordan who is one would follow Messiah into the bathroom and try to potty. Ms. Cortes wanted him to go back to the living room and watch TV. I suggested she allows him to go potty with Messiah. Jordan looks up to big brothers, she should take advantage of this and potty train him. She could have three potty trained boys within a few months.

I believe the reason “The Puerto Rican woman” does not have a name in the story was probably because she was she was irrelevant and viewed as just being the mistress, I mean the one who was probably the caused their father’s abandonment to them all this while. Another reason could probably be because they viewed her willingness to have an affair with a married man with children as degrading to womanhood. To me, the effects that she had on the family was major because precious time that could have been spent by Papi connecting with his children were spent with her.
