Regeneration By Sassoon

​For a long time, people have been trying to figure out why American troops acted the way they did during the My Lai Massacre and a lot of these soldiers answered what anyone would have to defend themselves: “I was just following orders,” also known as the Nuremburg Defense. A psychological study done by Stanley Milgram in 1963 tests the obedience in different types of people, but these people were told that the test was for a different scientific use. Results show that two-thirds of the participants went all the way by shocking the “learner” with the full 450-voltage after being told that “it [was] absolutely essential that [they] go on”

The story, Sonny’s Blues, describes the lives of two brothers growing up in Harlem in the early 1960’s. Sonny and his brother are different in the way the go about life in general. They were both raised in the same household, yet they grew up to be totally different people.

The hospital staffs were not informed of the experiment. The pseudopatients included a psychology graduate student in his twenties, three psychologists, a pediatrician, a psychiatrist, a painter and a housewife. None had a history of mental illness.

Apart from giving false names and employment details, further biographical details were truthfully reported.

The book is very vaguely about former soldier in World War 1 by the name Siegfried Sassoon. The book documents Siegfried Sassoon's journeys and sights in a mental asylum for war-shocked patients, who are struggling to become sane, again, in a place called Craig Lockhart. It is there where he meets other significant personas that develop the book.

The jump point for my psychoanalysis begins where the reader begins, the opening title. Rivers, the first part of Sherston’s Progress, named after his psychologist. The choice makes the reader think, why Rivers? Who is Rivers to George besides simply a psychologist? The first note George gives us about Rivers which jumps out to me is the following: “anyhow his name had obvious free associations with pleasant landscapes and unruffled estuaries.” Initially this seems just happen stance but in further reading of the book, one realizes that nature is personal comfort of George’s. Rivers is the only character in the semi fictional autobiography to maintain his real name and this puts him in a seemingly elevated position within Sassoon’s life. Just the act of creating a fictionalized version of an autobiography demonstrates a want to recreate one’s life. Much like George

Some enter the ward with this mental disorder while the author supposes some develop this paranoia overtime as Chief Bromden nervously states, "...nobody ever lets loose and laugh, the whole staff'd be in with notebooks and a lot of questions"(17). A collective understanding patients follow when under the watchful eye of authority or each other is to be aware of their own behaviors and emotions. This Reaction points out that one can't gain true perspective on themselves since revealing their true selves might do more harm than

The author has an overall defensive, but confident tone as he explains his viewpoint on war and its effects to his audience. The speaker readily defends his viewpoint to those who would pity his death in battle. Instead of allowing his audience to feel sorrow or pity, the speaker stresses how

It is difficult for the reader to feel much affection for the protagonist in Wolff’s memoir. Do you agree?
