Summary Of Calling Blue And On He Had Cellphone

I read the article “Code Blue”, “Code Black”: What Does ‘Code’ Mean? which was about the different codes in a hospital and what kind of **predicaments** they can cause for the nursing staff. This message was created by Melissa Stöppler and was intended for anyone who finds an interest in understanding the codes of a hospital. Melissa uses an allusion at the beginning of the article by saying, “TV series like "Grey's Anatomy" and "Code Black" seem to have sparked an renewed interest in the topic of "Codes" in medicine.”(What is the "Code"?, Paragraph: 1) This makes people who have seen the shows think about the characters and the lingo of the hospital. The author uses some ethos when she goes on to define what a code red and code blue are. She uses some medical words such as cardiopulmonary arrest. She

George Hadley wants the best for his family. Already living in a smart house which was bought to make everyday life easier, the house cooks three meals a day, cleans- not just the house but the Hadley’s themselves, even brushing their teeth for them. It’s no secret Mr. Hadley is willing to spend big bucks on the finer things in life, even willing to spend an additional 30,000 dollars for another room just for his children. The Nursery. The nursery is a large room; 40 feet across by 40 feet long and 30 feet high; the room displays telepathic creations of the children’s minds and creates life to fill their every desire. “The children think of lions, so there were lions. The children think of zebras, and there were zebras. Sun-sun. Giraffes-giraffes.

In her essay “The Smurfette Principle”, Katha Pollitt writes that commercial television and the views of preschoolers TV programs neatly divided between the genders. Pollitt describes boys are always more important, and take starring role in contemporary television shows, movies, cartoons then girls are in the supporting role. This theory split their consciousness, change both boys and girls.

The blue-eyed members are subjected to pseudo-scientific explanations of their inferiority, culturally biased IQ tests and blatant discrimination. When the inevitable resistance by a blue-eyes surfaces, Elliot cites the outburst as an example of

Postman believes that technology is to blame for the loss of childhood. He argues that television is the main invention that corrupts children’s minds. That may have been true thirty years ago, however, in the year 2015 the Internet and the websites that reside within it are the most significant source of childhood demoralization. Postman argues that television advertisements provide the first encounter of adult oriented content and does not

The story show some key information of the children's obviously being addicted to the actual nursery itself and leading to the parents becoming extremely aggravated of what’s happening. An example of this is when the father was to aggravated of this happening to the point of losing his cool to the point of shouting, “And the whole damn house dies as of here and now…We’ve been contemplating our mechanical, electronic navels for too long. My God, how we need a breath of honest air” (Bradbury 12). It illustrates how the father’s rage against technology by the words he used to describe the use of technology it’s. The choice of words would also showing his supreme hatred against technology by going to the point of swearing. This basically illustrated a message into the reader’s head about how annoyed the father has been towards the nursery it’s self. And he was also doing this same feeling before, making him ask nicely about if they could, “…Intersperse this Africa with a little variety-oh, Sweden perhaps, or Denmark or China-”(Bradbury 9). It shows the fact that the parents are thinking about how technology is plaguing the family extremely. This can conclude that the tools of characters feeling and actions being used by Ray Bradbury because of the whole book has a lot of parts of the father clearly hating the use of the nursery by the

The nursery that is featured in Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Veldt” was very advanced for technology; therefore, it also came with some benefits. This room takes anything imagined and makes it real. This kind of technology would produce entertainment for the children of the Hadley family, Peter and Wendy, and would also help stimulate their imaginations. “In this case, however, the room has become a channel toward-destructive thoughts, instead of a release away from them.”(Bradbury) David McClean, a psychologist, said the room was meant to be an escape from negative thoughts which would be a benefit for the family if it was used correctly. Lydia and George Hadley were able to inspect the walls in the nursery to see how their children were feeling. This feature would be very beneficial for many families. Parents don’t always know how their children are feeling because their child will not tell them. This room takes emotions and uses them to leave a pattern behind on the wall so they can be examined. Parents could always

In one particular instance, a bill was passed in Tennessee stating that teachers cannot encourage “gateway sexual activity” (Nazaryan). This bill resulted in Sumner County officials banning Looking for Alaska from the curriculums of all schools due to the book’s single, brief oral sex scene. The Tennessean covered the news of the ban in their newspaper and quoted parents who agreed with the ban, stating that the school board was right in banning the book from the young and impressionable minds of children, who could possibly be so influenced by this blip of a scene in a book, that they might go and immediately engage in the same, or worse, sexual behavior. The newspaper, did however point out that there were alternate ways to address concerns regarding the book, such as offering alternate books to students whose parents were against it. John Green’s YouTube channel, “vlogbrothers”, features a video, “I Am Not A Pornographer”. In it, Green, referring to the ban, states that “there is one frank sex scene. It is awkward, unfun, and wholly unerotic.” (Green). Green goes on to say that the only reason for the existence of that scene is show a contrast between a very physical scene that contains no emotional intimacy and a very non-physical scene that is full of emotion. In another video, “On the Banning of Looking for Alaska”, Green says “text is meaningless without context” (Green) . Green is speaking to his opinion that books are banned most of the time because a parent decides to show a school principal or administrator a single excerpt or page of a book. Without proper context, that excerpt or page can appear to represent a very inappropriate book. Alternatively, if a reader were to assess a book in its entirety, while keeping an opening mind, they could glean important and valuable lessons from

The nursery is a place where the kids’ imagination can be brought to life through a series of optical illusions and sonics. Usually, Wendy and Peter think about unicorns, fairy tales, or innocent fictional places and creatures. But then when George and Lydia venture into the nursery and nearly get mauled by what’s supposed to be a hologram of a lion, tensions rise between Lydia and George. Lydia wants to shut down the nursery and the house due to her paranoia, while George wants to keep it open because he is almost 100-percent positive that his design is foolproof and no harm would come from it. Later, when the kids come home for dinner, they give off a very eerie vibe; they come in with pinched pink cheeks, bright blue eyes and are holding hands (similar to the horror movie, The Shining). Then the two children act as if they do not even know what Africa is when George brings it up talking about the nursery. Afterward, when Lydia and George are in bed they both have a strange feeling that Wendy changed the nursery - and that Peter completely hacked into the system. When the parents finally break the news to the kids that the nursery and house are getting shut down for a little while, the story takes a dark turn. The kids go into a completel tantrum; begging and pleading to their father to keep

David Mitchell, a respected British comedian actor and writer, once spoke on the minds of children “Many children are natural fantasists, I think it is because their imaginations have yet to be clobbered into submission by experience.” As confirmed by parents and teachers alike, children are always full of energy and imagination. However, as time passes by, children become less inventive as they begin to understand the concepts of modesty and that their actions have consequences. Nevertheless, In an American Childhood, Annie Dillard impressively taps into the minds of a children and provides accurate insights regarding their morals and decisions.

Technology has become a huge part of everyone’s lives. We use it everyday and do not realize that we are even doing it. In the short story “The Veldt”, by Ray Bradbury, there is a house called the Happy-life Home, which is where the Hadley family lives. This house is entirely made of technology. It does everything for them, including cooking, laundry etc. The family consists of a mom, dad, and two children, Wendy and Peter. In this technological home there is a nursery room that can change scenery by the minds of Wendy and Peter. They have it stuck in one African scenery that has killer lions. Wendy and Peter can control the lions as well. With wrong intentions, Wendy and Peter have the lions attack their parents and kill them. These children have so much power with this technology that it makes them think they do not need anyone to parent them. Bradbury is preventing us from letting technology take over our lives to the extent where families are broken apart.

“The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury is a short story about a husband and wife who buy a “Happylife Home” to do all of their daily chores. It includes a nursery that will respond to whatever a person thinks. In this short story, Bradbury suggests of technology is reaching a point where it is no longer helpful, but harmful. This theme is portrayed through Bradbury’s use of stylistic devices, and character.

While President Lyndon B. Johnsons “Great Society” program was battling racial inequality and poverty in the 60s, a small group of friends gathered and discussed the idea of manipulating the technology television to do the same, to have a show that promoted racial tolerance and compassion through education. When most parents sit their children in front of the television and turn on child education programs, they have a sense of gratitude, children’s shows would teach their children the alphabet and how to count while they could handle their grown-up stuff. For years, my parents sat me in front of the television and turned on Sesame Street and so did my grandparents when my parents were little. Sesame Street was a daycare in a box, my Father used to joke, but even though Sesame Street had lessons on colors, numbers, and shapes, I doubt my grandparents or parents thought about the greater lessons that Sesame Street aimed to teach children beyond the ABCs— to teach children about diversity and inclusion and other sensitive issues regarding health, safety, and cultural awareness through catchy jingles, diverse casts, special guest stars, and of course our furry little monster friends. In many ways, Sesame street took children’s programing father than it ever had gone before and it set the tone for entertainers, artists, and educators to embrace a sense social responsibility to American youth.

Ray Bradbury is telling us that he does not like technology. To make his point, he makes up a futuristic world where people are just useless, lazy and boring. He makes up houses that serve as ‘‘wife and mother now and nursemaid.’’ (p.119). He really wants us to see that technology, abused, is actually not as good as everyone would imagine. When the Hadleys buy the house and the nursery, they actually buy their own ticket to death. They might not know it, but it’s true. Bradbury warns us that children should never be exposed to that kind of technology because of the outcome it can have

and green. Blue as discussed earlier was represented as the color of the God and other religious concepts, so the major incorporation of the color blue in the reliquary chasse indicated the spiritual significance it carried. Envisioning blue on the chasse unified people to Jesus Christ. Many of the reliquary chasse of the 12th century narrated a story; this individual one narrates the crucifixion of Christ. There are several key figures engraved throughout the exterior of the chasse, however since the crucial scene of the execution are shown on the front face of the chasse, that indicates that this chasse was primarily to be seen from the front rather than the sides. If viewed from the front, the top has three figures designed on it. In the center is the God the Father and on his either sides are two unknown saints. All three figures are represented in mandorlas however in different colors. The God of Father is displayed in the blue mandorla while the saints are shown in green mandorla. Here we can interpret a sense of hierarchy because the God of Father is shown in blue, which represents a divine color, however the saints are represented in green that is a mix of blue and yellow. So, blue still exists and represents divinity, yet the mixture of blue and yellow to produce a different shade of blue signifies that the God of Father is above and more important than the saints.
