Unexpected Hardships “Hey dad, are you in there? It’s your son, Tyler. Can you please come out?” Tyler stood at the door of his father’s house, hoping there would be a response. The flashing lights of the police cars illuminated the night, drawing the neighbors to peek out of their windows at the scene. “Dad, I’m begging you.

Of all the scenarios that she expected to witness upon awakening, Juliet Rosendahl did not expect immobilization. It was a dreamless slumber, she realized, upon regaining consciousness. Quite a peculiar conundrum, for Juliet was inherently a dreamer; perhaps the lack of that constant aspect was a foreboding sign in and of itself. Yet in this particular case, when the pungent fragrance that breached the oppressive haze freed her from the tendrils of sleep, none of the familiar wisps of a fading subconscious

‘‘One of the first functions of a poem, after all, is to satisfy a need in the poet’’ (Seamus Heaney) In his essay Poetry, Language and Identity: A Note on Seamus Heaney, Kearney writes that Heaney ‘‘has been criticised for refusing to adopt a fixed unambiguous position, for not nailing his colours to the mast, particularly about the national question (i.e. his attitude to his native North)’’. Although not disputed, Heaney’s poetry maintains an objectivity that neither condemns nor accepts the turbulent

“We teach people that they upset themselves. We can't change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today (Albert Ellis, 2001-2015, BrainyQuote).” Albert Ellis, originator of rational emotive behavior therapy, was considered one of the most powerful psychotherapist of all time.

When animals or household pets are ill and are very close to death, veterinarians will inform the owner on options of euthanasia or “putting the pet to sleep.” While the owner officially has to make the decision of putting

ame Joyce in his short story “A Painful Case” depicts Mr. Duffy as a narcissistic and selfish man who is so obsessed with himself that he is incapable of any deep interaction or bonding with others. The story begins with the description that mr. Duffy "lived in Chapelizod because he wished to live as far as possible from the city of which he was a citizen” (103). This self imposed isolation shows a repulsion to his fellow citizens and a disinterest of interaction with them. He seems to be especially
