Theme Of The Psychological Lens In Salvage The Bones

As the book progresses, Esperanza witnesses the emerging sexuality of her peers and begins to encounter her own sexuality, too. This is a confusing state to be in, and Cisneros captures the confusion by blending these moments of sexual exploration with the brutality of gendered violence. Men beat their wives and daughters, and in most cases the sexual encounters in The House on Mango Street are unwanted. The boys and men of this book tend to take things, while the girls and women deal with the consequences. Esperanza knows all this already, and it contributes greatly to her desire to

Family In Jesmyn Ward’ novel “Salvage the Bones”, Ward uses a fifteen –year-old girl Esch as narrator to describe the 12-day life of a family living in Bois Sauvage, Mississippi, waiting for the hurricane comes.

Esperanza’s friend Sally is one of the reasons that Esperanza really questions what it is to grow up. Sally wears make-up and appears to challenge the men in her life until they retaliate, like her father who beats and rapes her. In the chapter “The Monkey Garden” Sally is flirting with a group of boys and Esperanza can not understand why Sally will not play with her and the other girls. Then Esperanza thinks that Sally needs recusing from Tito and the other boys when they demand a kiss for the keys they took from her. Sally tells Esperanza to go away and she finally understands that Sally wanted to be with the boys. After meeting Sally and becoming more aware of her own sexuality Esperanza “decided to not grow up tame.”(88). She knows that

Possibly because she doesn’t entirely realize, even with hints from Skeetah, who is invested in her and her well being. He tells her that “[they] don’t look right together (47),” but this realization does not faze Esch and her image of Manny;

Esperanza is not comfortable with exposing her friend Sally and portraying her as an object, but no other women care about it. She decided to take matters into her own hands but only ended getting laughed at. She was not ready to be developed sexually and would rather remain at a slow pace. This idea is different compared to many women in her society who are ok with being mistreated like this.

Esperanza got over this and accepted the fact that some people can be mean or hurtful. She got over this by cheering up Isabel about not winning queen of may because of how she looks she did this by giving her the thing she loves most from Papa. What she did on pg 227“ I want you to have something that will last more than a day” said Esperanza and lifted up the doll from the valise and handed to Isabella ‘to keep as your

“Esperanza shook her head, no.” The hospital is where people go to die.” She began to cry.” Esperanza thinks her mom is going to die, because so many people die in the hospital. “She has not been herself since the storm and that was a month ago.”(p.g 153)Esperanza thinks mama is not going to get better because she has been sick for a month.

Fortunately, the novel reclaims momentum and suspense as Ed is tasked with Ace of Spades, particularly 23 Clown Street. The second assignment, 23 Clown Street, provides the audience insight regarding Beverly’s (Ma) hatred towards Ed and the legacy of his father. Initially, Zusak creates apprehension as Ed visits Melusso’s restaurant various times without any change. Apprehension escalates as a conflict is introduced: Ed’s mother dines with another man. This moment transcends the need for language, and empathy is truly established. Zusak allows for the audience to experience the shock, anger, and sadness in which Ed is enduring. Ed’s confrontation with Ma at her house creates tension as Ed finally questions her hatred. Unsurprisingly, Ma mercilessly scorns Ed to the extent that the audience experiences the excruciating pain and confusion that Ed endures. This portrayed flawlessly through characterization and powerful figurative language that truly captures the intensity of Ed’s emotions. However, Zusak bewilders the readers as Ed finally rises up to his mother. This scene provides satisfaction to the audience as he exclaims every thought, emotion that has been concealed within him. Simultaneously, the audience witnesses a significant progression of Ed’s character as he no longer accepts the criticism of his mother. However, it is Ed’s epiphany of the definition of success which astonishes the readers as they bear witness to Ed’s development.

For the past fifty years treatment of schizophrenia has been marked by its basis on the dopamine hypothesis for schizophrenia. However, this model for the disease and its subsequent treatment have left many patients without relief or help in dealing with this disease which has lead to a search for a better model. The dopamine model lacks the recognition of a whole range of symptoms associated with the disease and therefore can not be an accurate basis for treatment. More recently, there has been a shift to the glutamate hypothesis which has been shown to more accurately characterize the wide range of symptoms experienced by patients living with this disorder as well as the possibility in improvements for drug treatments.

She gets excited when boys look at her on the streets. But her illusion of true love is destroyed by sexual violence.

Throughout the novel, Eddie also can be exemplified as a sympathetic character. sympathetic characters are when readers feel sympathy for throughout a story. The reader can feel empathy for Eddie, when the author describes the pain of Eddie’s gunshot wound. The pain was described to be unbearable and the description of the event of the gunshot pains a morbid picture in the reader’s mind. During Eddie’s time as a soldier in World War II, any reader can feel an astonishing amount of sympathy for Eddie. During, Eddie’s time as a soldier, he experienced, “A piercing pain ripped through Eddie's leg. He screamed a long, hard curse then crumbled to the ground. Blood was spewing below his knee. Plane engines roared. The skies lit in bluish flashes. He lay there, bleeding and burning, his eyes shut against the searing heat, and for the first time in his life, he felt ready to die,” (Albom 84). The reader can comprehend Eddies suffering and pain. Eddie was on the ground, in a war zone hurt and slowly dying. Readers can feel a lot of sympathy for when Eddie wanted to let go of the world and die. Before Eddie’s death, he ran under a falling amusement park ride to save a little girl, Eddie

In the past decade, network television has been bombarded by crime shows attempting to make their mark on viewers. All of these programs—CSI, Lie to Me, Numb3rs, Law & Order—have the same general set up of a male lead with a hot-head who is complemented by his team of FBI agents. As a loyal viewer and fan of Bones, I often wonder what makes it stay afloat with so many shows out there like it. Could it be that Bones isn’t like any of the other crime shows? Through its crimes and unsolved murders, Bones helps its viewers make sense of the disastrous world around them. The world we live in is full of danger and unsolved crime, but after watching Dr. Brennan, her team of “squints” and Agent Booth solve even the most bizarre murders, the

Psychosocial rehabilitation has its theoretical roots in evolving a failed effort, by the mental health system, to help mentally ill patients in coping with the psychosocial devastation brought on by severe mental illness and behavioural problems (Correctional Services Canada, 2013). The traditional methods of treatment viewed recovery as a process of curing an illness, usually with medication, but recovery does not subsequently occur once their illness is “treated” (CSC, 2013). This traditional method was ineffective because their recovery was halted by limited support and skills and ‘abnormal’ behaviours learned in institutions (CSC, 2013). These deficits resulted in chronic impairments and maladaptive social functioning (CSC, 2013). These individuals were unable to fulfill normal social roles and successfully live independently in the community (CSC, 2013). The PSR approach to recovery incorporates more than just eliminating the signs and symptoms of the illness, is based on understanding the patients voice and experiences and encouraging participation and self-determination in treatment (CSC, 2013). This approach recognises the care values such as hope, empowerment, and determination are essential to recovery (CSC, 2013). The importance of skill development and community support are also highlighted (CSC, 2013).

It is through the physical pain that the reader understands the emotional strain and turmoil of the protagonist’s plight. The juxtaposition of survival and living are never more evident here. Her children are kidnapped; killed or sold. She has a body still recovering from the birth of a child, and she is forced to take her mother’s place, as a victim of domestic violence and sexual assault. Walker cleverly crafts this sense of desperation with Celie’s soul baring letters to god, the reader realizes she is has no one else to turn to; her writing only re-enforces her father's control over her. Her persevering spirit is what makes her survival so unique in the sense that she does not become embittered through any of it. “I look at woman, tho, cause I am not scared of them.” Telling god that she has not been traumatized at all by her mother’s passing, in fact, she goes further on “Mabey cause my mamma cuss me you think I kept mad at her. But I ain’t I feel sorry for her. (Walker, 5)” This for the reader is the most heart-breaking stance that she takes, as the reader is aware of the fact that her mother hated Celie’s guts with writing agony because her husband choose to rape her when she could not have sex with him. The reader singularly carries this sense of desperation for the protagonist as she continues to power through the intensity that surrounds her.
