Good Morning Dr. Steele, ( Pam)  I hope you are well and had a great weekend.  At long last I was finally able to get through to the right person at the Alabama VA Medical Center. Here is what I learned:   I spoke with Angela Jordan, the Contracting Agent who provided for me the process that they used to purchase the monitors.   Their  respiratory department requested g a quote from Medicomp and then use their credit card to buy them monitors because the purchase was under $3500.    Medicomp

1. I called to make Juanita Buda, aware of my being back in Memphis and my intent to become permanently employed at the Memphis VA, she made the comments: The Memphis VA do not transfer from VA to VA, and perhaps I should seek employment at another VA facility in the surrounding area and the Private sector. I made her aware that the nearest VA was Little Rock and it was 324 miles round trip for me. She led me to believe they where no longer doing Transfers. Junita Buda said, “this VA don’t

social and cultural movements of the 1950s, inspired a lifestyle which rejected conformity and focused on individual freedom. It was America's most celebrated counter-culture and consisted of numerous writers of which Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady and William S. Burroughs are well known today. One of the key figures, Jack Kerouac, is famous for his work in On The Road which is about adventurous road trips, thus exploring America and the limits of one's freedom. People are provoked by

The beat movement is expressed the social and literary nonconformity of artists, poets, and writers. The word beat originally meant “weary” but came to refer as well to a musical beat. Followers of this movement, called beats or beatniks, lived nonconformist lives. They tended to shun regular work and sought a higher consciousness through Zen Buddhism, music, and, sometimes, drugs. Works that capture the essence of this era include Allen Ginsberg’s long, free verse poem, Howl, published in 1956,

Objectification and Sexism on the Road Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, explores the complex worlds of masculinity, friendship, freedom and the delusions of the American dream. It was extremely influential to American culture and it spoke to young Americans of that generation as well as the generations that followed. On the Road is an exploration of the world of the traveler, and from it Kerouac was able to create a world in his book that illustrates the lives as well as the motivations of a counterculture

The historic beat generation served as a bridge to the hippies in the early 1960’s. They were radical poets who opposed censorship. They were outspoken and placed a great deal of emphasis on drugs, alcohol, and sex. They were known for their eccentric writing styles. “Much of the poetry in the mid-‘50s was in a kind of neoformalist and academic mode that was very tame and highly intellectual and spoke to a small and elite audience” (Interview). However, the beat generation spoke to the rest of the

"What can fingerprints mean when they're not necessarily yours?" stated Lev in the novel “Unwind” written by Neal Shusterman. This occurs when a person receives the body parts from a teen who was unwound. Unwinding is a process in which a teenager is “divided” into several pieces. The concept was created in a Civil War that occurred which was also known as the Heartland War. The war had three sides in total, the pro-life, pro-choice, and the remains of the American military, which tried to stop

The book Unwind, written by Neal Shusterman, is about three teens who are going to be unwound. Being unwound means going into a different form of living where all of a person’s body parts are unattached from them and given to other patients in need. If a kid is older than thirteen but younger than eighteen, their parents can sign an unwind order to have them unwound. The parents might do this if their child is becoming a problem for them or they just think it’s the right thing for them. These three

The Beat poets, in exploring the limits of the human experience and pushing the boundaries of literature, often found themselves in stark opposition with the legal system. The poets explored the boundaries of society, participating in illicit drug use, sexual expression, and other alternative ways of life. This made the authors targets of the projection of unconstitutional laws based on the conservative opinions of officials. Allen Ginsberg in particular experienced a arc of respect and conformity

Before I really get into the character analysis, you sort of have to understand what this series is about, and what Cam is. In the series Unwind, it's a different world, where parents cannot abort a baby, but when their child turns 13 they can decide to unwind it. Unwinding is the process where they take all of the parts from a living human apart. People can then use those parts. They can use everything (skin, cells, tissue, arms, blood,). Those parts move and act as if they never left a body. Unwinding
