or flight response. The fight or flight response discovered in the early 1900s, triggers bodily changes and can be very beneficial to your survival, but in today's world, it can also be very harmful to you if you do not know how to manage stress. The fight or flight response was discovered by Walter Cannon. He was an American psychologist, professor, and chairman of the Department of Physiology at Harvard Medical School. According to the article, Walter Cannon’s Fight or Flight Response, it states

Chapter II Literature Review Reader Response Criticism Literary criticism is an activity of natural human response to the literature. Endraswara (2003, p.116) said that literary work is a phenomenon which is concrete by the reader. The statement is in accordance with the theory of reader response which focuses on the activity of the readers rather than the author or the structure of the text itself. Reader response focuses on the reader and their role in the making of a literary work. The text does

Neil F Neimark M.D. a certified family physician says, “The "fight or flight response" is our body's primitive, automatic, inborn response that prepares the body to "fight" or "flee" from perceived attack, harm or threat to our survival.” Which one are you? Would you become actively involved to fight the situation, or would you run away like a coward? I recall the warm summer evening when I worked at a small family fun park in my high school days. The sun would go down, games were powered off, and

In the short story, “Cathedral”, Carver uses reader response criticism to let the reader interpret the story by leaving out pieces of information. Carver has been dubbed a “minimalist” for his low-key plots and spare style (34). This approach allows the reader to look deeper into a character without even knowing their name. With the mentioning of alcohol, marijuana, and a suicide attempt, all before the eye-opening moment at the end…it gives the reader a glimpse into Raymond Carver’s own life-long

Reader Response Theory The Reader Response Theory emerged as a reaction against the New Criticism or formalistic approach, which focused on the text, finding all the meaning, the value in it and regarding everything else as extraneous, including readers. Despite the ideas of the Reader Response in the 1920’s, the late Louise Rosenblatt pioneered the Reader Response theory. She was a literary theorist and an English Educator. In her writing, Literature as Exploration written in 1938, she emphasizes

Reader Response to Joyce's The Dead     James Joyce's story "The Dead" has a tremendous impact on the readers, especially those who are familiar with the political situation in Ireland at the time about which the Joyce wrote the final story in Dubliners.  In exploring the meaning of James Joyce's long short-story, "The Dead", there are many critical approaches to take.  Each approach gives readers a lens, a set of guidelines through which to examine and express ideas

There exist many research attempts to integrate RD methodology with response surface methodology (RSM). The three-level full factorial design embedded higher-order polynomial models may be more useful in order to obtain better RD solutions than the second-order model. In this paper, we propose a dual response surface approach based on higher-order polynomial models in order to optimize the process bias and standard deviation responses at the same time while the process mean is restricted by the lower

Reader-Response on Soldier's Home The initial reaction I received from reading Soldier's Home, and my feelings about Soldier's Home now are not the same. Initially, I thought Harold Krebs is this soldier who fought for two years, returns home, and is disconnected from society because he is in a childlike state of mind, while everyone else has grown up. I felt that Krebs lost his immature years, late teens to early 20's, because he went from college to the military. I still see him as disconnected

Position Paper: Reader-response      I read a book the other day. It was a wonderful book called The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. I really enjoyed it; it gives the background information on the creation of Middle Earth. In it, Tolkien tells us of Illúvatar, Eä, the Valar and the birth of Elves, Dwarves and Men. But, you know, I don’t think it has anything at all to do with Elves, Dwarves, Men and some god named Illúvatar. I think Tolkien really wanted to write a Biblical
