Narrative Analysis : Tick Tock

Ever since Hunter Jordan died, Ruth and James were heavily affected. In order to combat this, they both use different ways to grieve over his death. To begin, Ruth, James’ mother, rides her bike to grieve for her husbands death. To show proof, James says, “She would ride in slow motion across our street… It was her way of grieving,” (7). As one can see James believes his mother rides her bicycle to grieve for her deceased husband. In addition, James also notes, “it was something [the bike] my stepfather found on the street in Brooklyn and hauled home a few months before he died.” (5). To explain, James says that his stepfather found the bike and brought it to Ruth a few months before he died, so Ruth uses it to remind her of her husband. Furthermore, another way Ruth grieves is in church. James says, “she would occasionally do something in church that I never saw her do at home… she would bow down her head and weep.” (50). As one can see, Ruth cries in church to grieve for her husband because if her kids see her, they would think she is crying because God makes her happy.

One of the highs of this clinical rotation were taking new patients POC and being able to come up with appropriate interventions to treat and progress them within their POC. Another high was being comfortable around patients, and educating them on their condition, their physical therapy interventions and goals. Understanding the documentation system and comfortably documenting treatment sessions was one low I had in the beginning of the rotation.

All of the trials that Jacobs portrayed throughout the narrative showed that women went through more psychological trauma than men during slavery. Jacobs showed that although people go through things and might have to sacrifice some things, its okay to keep moving and try to get your freedom. I believe that Jacobs' story did need to be heard and that it was smart of her to publish the narrative,because it helped give more insight into why women have such a strong mental state and how as women can overcome situations.

Thomas Merton once said "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time". This is completely true. Throughout the semester we have gone through almost as many as 300 pictures we view, learn, decompose into the criteria it meets and talk about the controversial things it has, while we do this we don't recognize that we also identify the form, content, iconography, and context. All four areas are what the paint, picture or sculptures identity is. I was lucky enough to visit my buddy out at WIU. There are many works in the art gallery, around the union and even outside walking around, but one that did catch my attention and had me thinking about it for quite some time. It was a painting called Memorialized by Tyanna Buie, was made in 2011 and measures 38’’x50’’. The content it has is beautiful, the form is wicked, context is superb and iconography is permanent. It reminds me of artwork we've gone through the semester. The painting was being showed at the art gallery in end of March. It’s now May and I can still picture it in my head so detailed, without even looking at a picture of it. It’s a piece of work I have connected to, yet lost myself in.

Resistance in Modern Europe was a very common occurrence and took many forms depending on the identity and background of the individual or group that wished to resist. Some factors that influenced the forms of resistance were race, class, and gender. Some instances of resistance that demonstrate the influence of identities in these situations are the workers’ revolt in Paris in the late 1730s, a recount of a man who was kidnapped from his country and forced into slavery, a woman who wrote about being born into slavery, a Jewish man who wrote a diary while he lived in Fascist Germany and witnessed the rise of Adolf Hitler, and the story of a man in Alsace Lorraine who was sent to a concentration camp for being homosexual. All of these accounts

It was time to finish work for the day. As I was packing my belongings together, I looked at the picture that reminded me of those occurrences that had taken place 25 years ago. The picture was of Alannah, my twin. This picture was taken a few days before our family was broken apart. She was a young girl of around 6 years old. She had fair skin and brown hair with blue eyes. This reminded me of the first 6 years of our free and innocent

These are the pictures of my book project that I made for my independent novel which is "The Perks of being a Wallflower". I made scrap book to explain the novel.

The learning narrative assignment allocated students to analyse important events that have occurred within the past year of their life. Following up with the requirements, I discussed how moving away from home for University has impacted me as a person. As I well, I touched up on how I have learned from working with a group that had not gone according to plan. These two learning moments had a large impact on developing me to work even harder and be even more organized. I had to quickly adjust to living in a new city and starting university while required me to work extra hard as I not only had to focus on my studies, but adapt to a new environment. I as well was able to understand the importance of being organized in group situations as group

Bioware’s team really set the bar for the game’s narrative. The interactive dialogue allows the player to select different options for each conversational scenario.

When I was 8, my father and I drove to the airport to pick up my grandmother; she was a frail lady who had resided in India and Africa for the majority of her life, and America was the first and only developed nation that she would view in her lifetime. My father took my grandmother and me to a local Publix, but what happened next was completely unanticipated. About 10 seconds after we walked into the store, my grandmother began tearing up. My father asked her what was wrong, and she responded, "I have never set eyes on a place with so much food in my life." This was probably the strongest statement I have ever heard in my life; up until that point, I did not realize that such large portions of people could lack basic necessities like food

After a few minutes the teacher yells for everyone to be quick and sees if everyone is ok by yelling out the role call of the class. After the roll call Ms.Linda shouts” can anyone see a way out?” Everyone saying that they can not see a light Tim replies “I can see a light”. “Follow my voice “ Tim saw the light with his big eyes. They focused in and out seeing the different patterns in the water. When everyone got out they asked how Tim could see the light when it was pitch black. The teacher, Linda, then said” it must have been a structural adaption in your eyes that might have adapted to the pitch black environment, making you able to see that little difference in the dark.
