(SIP-A) When Mildred overdoses, she almost dies, but when Montag talks to her about it, she brushes if off and doesn’t think about it, she just moves forward. (STEWE-1) When Montag comes home from his work, he finds his wife on the ground next to a empty pill bottle. Mildred is dying, because she was moving too fast to realize what she had done. This happens so frequently, because the men who save her are not medics, instead they are plumbers. When Montag mentions this to them, the plumber simple says “‘Hell!’ The operator’s cigarette moved on his lip. ‘We got these cases nine or ten a night. Got so many, starting a few years ago, we had special machines built. With the optical lens, of course, that was new; the rest is ancient. You don’t need an .M.D., case like this; all you need is two handymen, clean up the problem in half an hour’” (Bradbury 13). This happens so frequently in the society that even plumbers are able to revive people like this, an overdose state. (STEWE-2) The next morning, Mildred wakes up, the seashells already in her ear, and moving from one thing to another. ‘Yes,’ he said. ‘I wanted to talk to you.’ He paused. ‘You took all the pills in your bottle last night.’ ‘Oh, I wouldn't do that,’ she said, surprised. ‘The bottle was empty.’ ‘I wouldn't do a thing like that. Why would I do a thing like that?’ she asked. ‘Maybe you took two pills and forgot and took two more, and forgot again and took two more, and were so dopy you kept right on until you had thirty or forty of them in you.’ ‘Heck,’ she said, ‘what would I want to go and do a silly thing like that for?’ ‘I don't know,’ he said. She was quite obviously waiting for him to go. ‘I didn't do that,’ she said. ‘Never in a billion years.’ ‘Alright if you say so,’ he said. ‘That's what the lady said.’ She turned back to her script. ‘What's on this afternoon?’ he asked tiredly. She didn't look up from her

    Don Anselmo and Mrs.Higgins are similar because they both stand up for what they want. They have in common that they are both being strong in the beginning. Don Anselmo and Mrs. Higgins are different because Don Anselmo stays strong throughout the entire story but at the end Mrs.Higgins does not. I would not say they are more different than similar because they both want something better for the kids in their life.…

    Analysis of Mildred Montag

    Mildred 's behavior, considered to be normal in her society, is no different from that of a self-destructive addict in ours. Her favorite pastime is to sit in the parlor and spend time with what she claims to be her 'family ', but is really just a bunch of characters from the programs she watches. A description of what was shown on the screen during one of the programs was as follows: "Abruptly the room took off on a rocket flight into the clouds, it plunged into a lime-green sea where blue fish ate red and yellow fish." (pg. 94). Such colorful and spontaneous effects are much like what many people in our society claim to experience under the influence of hallucinogens, which coincidentally are the types of drugs that are notorious for having the ability to make a person lose all sense of reality. Mildred exhibits a sign of addiction when Guy, while he is sick in bed, asks her to lower the volume in the parlor, and she responds by leaving the room, "[doing] nothing to the parlor and [coming] back." (pg. 49). This shows that she cares more about a piece of technology than about the welfare of her own husband. Likewise, in modern-day society, addictions tend to practically take over the entire lives of…

    When you compare The Hunt of the Unicorn and Tar Beach you will see many similarities that are visible to the eye without doing any research. The first of which is the dark backgrounds. They both have lighter colors in them that make the picture stand out, but a majority of the colors are dark. They are calm and flow well there is not a lot happening in each piece of art. In each there is one piece that is a little active. In the Hunt of the Unicorn, the unicorn is in motion, and in Tar Beach the girl is flying across the bridge.…

    Young men who are sent to a war learn the reality in a very harsh and brutal way. Both the stories, ‘The Red Convertible’ and ‘The Things They Carried’ portray the life of a young soldier and how he psychologically gets affected from all the things he had seen in the war. Tim O’Brien’s ‘The Things They Carried,’ is more specific on the experiences of a soldier during a war where as Karen Louise Erdrich focuses more on describing the post war traumatic stress in her short story ‘The Red Convertible’. One thing similar in both the narrations is the Vietnam War and its consequences on the soldiers. From the background of both the authors it’s easy to conclude that Tim O’Brien being a war veteran emphasizes more on the war scenes where as Louise Erdrich focuses mainly on the life inside the reservations, which makes sense as she has a Native American ancestry.…

    In Fahrenheit 451, people like Mildred take sleeping pills to help themselves sleep or to commit suicide. In today’s society, people do the exact actions that are written in the book, with the exception of their medical protocols. For example, when someone overdoses in pills in the real world, the humane thing to do would be to call 911 and have the paramedics show up with their medical gear to help recover the patient at hand. However, since suicide is such a normal thing that happens in Montag’s community, all that shows up is two guys with a stomach pump and presto, the overdosed human is back to being a dull lived, uniformed slave to everyday life. Also, the cause of the suicide rate going up is due to the lack of creativity and the up rise in technology which can potentially happen to the real world. People in both worlds, develop these different feelings but are only allowed to express certain ones in selective situations, so they end up having bottled up emotions that never escape their minds. This type of mentality results in the depressive and suicide rates in the two worlds to infinitely increase.…

    The most interesting short stories that caught my undivided attention were: “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and “Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot” by Robert Olen Butler. These stories were both fascinating and intriguing in the sense that they made me feel like if I was the actual character. You could feel the pain and anguish the characters felt, even the desperation. It got to a point that I felt pity for the protagonist whom in both stories where narrating. Here we can see how someone can feel so desperate that they think the only way out is by taking their lives. Both Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Robert Olen Butler created an incredible form of fiction that makes you question if the scenes in the stories can truly happen in reality.…

    Everyday, stereotype is used in the society. Sometimes, when people use stereotype on other people, they don’t even recognize it because it’s so common and is ignored by the society. It’s a way to judge people through their common believes based on ethnicity, gender, skin color, appearance and language of the people who are being judged. For example, when people see a Vietnamese woman in her 20’s, 30’s and 40’s just migrated to America, they would assume that she will be working in a nail salon and flirt with some rich guys to get married with. Being stereotype is difficult deal with, and it’s really offended and hurtful. “The Myth of the Latin woman: I Just Met a Girl Named Maria” by Judith Ortiz Cofer and “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan share some common and different stereotypes that they had to go through. In the story “The Myth of the Latin Woman: I just met a Girl Named Maria”, Judith Cofer wrote about her experiences being stereotyped as a Latin woman. In “Mother Tongue,” Amy shared her personal experiences being stereotyped with her language’s barrier. Even though the two female authors shared the similarity for being stereotyped by the society, they faced different situations on the way they were stereotyped.…

    After reading a book and then watching the movie based on that book, generally people will say they feel disappointed because the movie lacks its heart and substance. Even though the movie The Scarlet Letter, directed by Roland Joffé, is based on Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel, it offers different characters and plot than the novel. However, the book captivates people more. In both, the story takes place in Boston, Massachusetts, in seventeenth century. The Scarlet Letter is about Hester Prynne, a beautiful, young married woman from England who commits adultery with the respected minister Arthur Dimmesdale. When Hester’s husband, Roger Chillingworth comes to Boston after two years’ absence, he finds his wife has been unfaithful to him, and now has a baby, named Pearl. Furious about the betrayal, Chillingworth plots his revenge. The Puritan society is angry at Hester, and pressures her to confess her lover’s name, but she refuses. To punish her, they constrain her to wear the scarlet letter A. In the movie, Demi Moore stars as the pretty woman who commits adultery, Hester Prynne. Gary Oldman plays the admirable Minister Dimmesdale, and Roger Chillingworth is played by Robert Duvall. The Scarlet Letter of Nathaniel Hawthorne is an amazing novel but Roland Joffé’s movie does not catch the essence of the novel, and the changes in characters and plot alter the message of the novel.…

    Caring for and preserving the environment is an issue that gains interest daily. In the essays “How to Poison the Earth” by Linnea Saukko and “Chronicles of Ice” by Gretel Ehrlich both authors make excellent points about how to save and conserve the planet Earth. Ehrlich and Saukko go about making these points in two completely different ways though although they do have their similarities. Saukko uses a more sarcastic and ironic way to prove her point while Ehrlich uses a more serious and detailed way to prove hers.…

    There is a rising trend in media reports of improper drug administration. For this reason, there is a demonstrated need for patient safety. As long as nurses are the health care professionals that administer medications to patients, they may face persecution from the public when medications are given in error. The Canadian Institute for Health Information, reports 1 in 10 people experience a medication error during hospital admissions (2007, p.18). This is a shocking trend if you factor in the rising number of people requiring hospital admissions. An article on CBC news has pointed out this rising problem. This article brought forth an incident in which a patient was given potassium chloride, which is the drug used in lethal injections, intravenously instead of the ordered sodium chloride, which lead to…
