Room 101

Monday morning and I oversleep, I have 30 minutes to get dressed and get on the unit, ready to receive report. I fly into the hospital parking lot, run to the Intensive Care Unit with three minutes to spare. I sit down to receive report from Hazel the hospital hag. Hazel looks at me up and down in her usual haughty fashion and said, "You know your uniform is on wrong side out and your shoes don't match." I looked myself over, smiled and said, "I know." She looked at me like I had thrown bed one's dirty brief at her. I was pleased with myself. I made it through report, ran to the locker room, reversed my scrubs and scurried on to bed one. I walk in the room and noticed Hazel the hag left all the intravenous bags dry. I go into the supply room and collect the necessary intravenous bags, while going back to the unit I hear "Code Blue room 352, Code Blue room 352." I am on the code team so I drop everything and rush to room 352 on the opposite side of the hospital, only to find a code blue had been called in error.

I read the play Marvin’s Room by Scott McPherson. I chose this play from three plays Burnett offered because the cover was blue and blue is my favorite color. The play is essentially the story of a woman named Bessie who finds out that she has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. Through this tragedy her family which was separated comes together again. The theme of this play is that family will always be family. Many people in this play have issues. Hank is in a mental asylum, Marvin is bedridden and dying, and Ruth has back problems. Despite their problems all of these people still care about each other because they are family after all.

In chapter 1 of Sister Citizen titled Crooked Room author Melissa V. Harris-Perry illustrates a study of subjects placed into a crooked room. The subjects are then asked in a variety of scenarios to attempt to re-align themselves. The results came as much of a surprise to the researchers as what the subjects perceived as “straight’ was heavily skewed. Harris-Perry used this crooked room example to support as well as confront the gender and race stereotypes that black women still face in society today.

Along the Little Miami river lays an unincorporated community called Kings Mills, Ohio. To put it into perspective this community lies less than a mile east of Kings Island, the renowned amusement park. Kings Mills is home to many urban legends, spook stories, and haunts. Many of which can be googled however, this one cannot.

MTV's "Real World" had an open casting call at the Cypress Room, next to the CFE Arena on March 16 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., to find people for its next season, which will begin filming this summer.

She says that many ask why didn’t you fight back, or why did you go like sheep to be slaughtered without any resistance? The questions made her rethink her experience. In her 70’s she began to write about her imprisonment, and after the times of 9/11 it is crucial that she felt she told her story. If she shared her experiences, this will be one more convincing piece of evidence against the possibility of interment camps in the United States every happening again.

The lines between right and wrong are blurred. Huge questions about society are raised that students, like myself, can ask themselves. Minorities face injustices, and genocides are happening every day around the world, even today. If every high school student read the memoir Night, then they could be prepared to end similar injustices and prevent another catastrophic event, like the Holocaust, from happening in our world again.

To Winston, Room 101 was a mystery. He didn’t know what to expect and that uncertainty built his suspense. During his time at the Ministry of Love, Winston heard inmates whisper “Room 101”, he saw people turn pale just by the mere sound of the

People often believe teachers, friends, and parents are the ones that teach them the most in life. Although this may be true, a work of literature can also teach a person many valuable life lessons that no one else can. In a work of literature, all themes connect to one significant lesson. Lawrence and Lee’s Inherit The Wind has rich themes that demonstrate the world resist change. One important theme is to always be open-minded. Equally important, is the theme that differences can tear people apart. Not to mention, freedom of thought is also a critical theme. Therefore, themes in Inherit The Wind shows the struggle of change to occur.

Lori Schiller’s story of her struggles battling mental illness is frightening yet inspiring. Lori’s childhood was incredibly normal if not better than the norm. She grew up in a very affluent, wealthy family that were also very loving and supporting. Lori was also a straight A student that was accepted to some of the best universities in the country. Many people have the notion that mental illness only happens to children from bad families or the homeless but Lori proves that stereotype

Like McCarthy, Atwood also employs similar techniques, as she quickly establishes the setting for her own work of speculative fiction with a set of stark images: “On the eastern horizon there’s a grayish haze, lit now with a rosy, deadly glow” (Atwood 3). With her visual cues, however, Atwood takes it one step further. Hinging upon readers’ pre-existing knowledge of current world predicaments, Atwood is able to make connections that dredge up feelings of angst and even fear. For example, on page 63, Atwood writes of an instance, which many might compare to the fears of many revolving around the perils of global warning:

Tobias Wolff’s short story, “That Room” is a very suspenseful story that has the reader on the edge of their seat while reading it. Suspense and excitement is created through the plot and theme of the story which are both developed through four main literary devices. In the story, the narrator is put into what is potentially a life or death situation and it is at this point that he becomes aware that one is never really in full control of his or her own life. Throughout this literary analysis I will discuss the plot and theme of the story in terms of how Wolff uses setting, tone, characterization, and symbolism to enhance both the theme and the plot.

a great book and should be taught in the class room still today.in this essay i will be telling some

1984 perhaps being the the greatest dystopian novel ever written has met it’s match. Author Margaret Atwood has taken the ideas of the novel and shaped them into her own tale of caution The Handmaid's Tale. Lacking in the gripping fear that 1984 provides The Handmaid’s Tale makes up for with the chilling reality that this was a plausible future for our young nation. Atwood excels in taking the various motivators such as fear, love, and others that Orwell uses in his novel and using them in her own unique and different way

In Room by Emma Donoghue, there is an interesting theme being conveyed through the literary techniques she uses within her novel. She uses “point of view” throughout the entire story, and it can be seen literally in every page of the whole book. Jack’s thought process is different than, say, you or me, so it’s very unique. “Ignorance is bliss” is a message you could take from it, and it’s shown countless times throughout the story.
