In 1960, a little girl named Anna was born. She was a victim of sexual abuse starting at age 2 and continuing throughout her childhood. Her parents thought she was mentally ill, so as a response they had her evaluated and put on medications. After coping with the situation on her own until age 13, she hit a breaking point. She then was admitted into the mental health system, in which she remained for 19 years. She was diagnosed with multiple types of illnesses, but schizophrenia was the most blatant. Anna also showed symptoms of anorexia, bulimia, and obsessive-compulsive personality. The mental health physicians treated her mainly with psychotropic drugs. As a coping mechanism, she continuously tried to hurt herself by putting cigarette burns

For days he stayed there, curled up by the wall. The sun would rise, somewhere, illumine the mouth of his pitiful den, grace the cold rock in front of him with a soft blue sheen, and set again, immersing his life in empty darkness. One day, two, three, he stopped counting, buried his mind in the chambers of his soul where a soft dim warmth still glowed. Waves of grief passed through, turned him over in riptides of hungriest despair, roaring death pounded nightly at his door, and then, hearing no answer, tore away again, letting warm comfort envelop him and soothe his damaged

In this book, Jonathan discusses the changing dynamic between his parents and himself. In the beginning his parents appear to be a loving couple and he appears to be a very devoted son. As his parents age and his father’s illness progresses, those dynamics change. His father loses all recollection of who his family is and Jonathan’s mother seems to detach herself from the situation, referring to his father as “the baby” most of the time. Kozol (2015) says, “Before she fell asleep that

The glistening sun scorching my eyes bring me back to consciousness , i have only a few seconds of silence before i am overcome with an unbearable screech next to me .

He slammed the door shut and locked it. The locking mechanism made a decided click that was a comfort to his harried senses. The acrid scent of sweat reached his nose, and he became more aware of the mess he’d created on himself. He peeled his t-shirt off, immediately more comfortable than before. His breathing slowed and evened out as he allowed himself to relax. He slid his back against the wall and sat heavily. Once again, as time slugged by, he felt his anxiety rising. It was dark and all he could hear was his calm breathing. He was safe, he was fine. Nothing could get him

The 1920s was a decade of many inventions after WWI when soldiers had returned home. People were able to enjoy themselves more from making more money and new technologies.

Which made some difficulties throughout his life.

A morbid melancholy stole over me. Anxiety gnawed at my heart. I was a living corpse. There was a feeling of chill in the air every day as I felt. I faked illness so as not to go to school. Despair hangs heavy in the stifling air. It was a dreary day for me , cold and without sunshine. I dread people and always avoid people. The door was locked from the inside. A cold grey light crept under the curtains. The windows were secured with locks and bars. The room felt cold and sterile.The flowers faded for want of water. A single lamp was suspended from the ceiling. The clock ticked louder and louder in a quiet room. I regarded the room as a refuge from the outside

She arrives on the 5th floor and steps out into the clean hallway. The smell of the hallway has a familiar heart retching smell, like the smell of the hotel she stayed in when Grandpa's funeral came about, the smell rips aways those memories and puts her heart in two as she slowly drags her feet down the long bare hallway. She sobs quietly as she arrives at the clean white door of her apartment. She stands there for what seems like an eternity constantly replaying the summer times over and over. The times where her life was fruitful and
