    Andy feels that nobody really understands him and that leads to his unraveling. Andy starts to also feel that nothing he does will matter because of what has happened which only worsens his depression. Even with the dark chapters there are chapters of light throughout the book where things are turning around for Andy. Draper includes dialogues and texts from different characters to ease some of the tension accumulating. I happened to love this book and invite everyone to read it because even if the message seems to be dark and depressing the reality is that everyone will probably go through tough times at one point in life and its how you turn out that matters most to everyone…

    Home Soil

    The feeling of regret can weigh a person?s emotions beyond normalcy. As the story unfolds and the plane arrives in Chicago from San Francisco, Bohdan becomes immediately unsocial from an expected level. ?We stood apart, unlike the other soldiers and their families who were hugging and crying on each other?s shoulders in a euphoric delirium,? said Bohdan?s dad. Mentioned briefly in the beginning of the story was the fact that Bohdan?s dad was also in a war and had never spoken of it to anyone. As little words are exchanged, Bohdan?s dad finds himself wondering why his son has not told him any details of his journey. This is a realism that the father has had before in his own experiences. Zabytko then begins to tell the father?s story of regret in a lengthy description, including all of his war efforts. When regret is established one tends to dwell on that incident searching for a resolution.…

    The Lady with the Dog

    He was under forty, but he had a daughter already twelve years old, and two sons at school. He had been married young, when he was a student in his second year, and by now his wife seemed half as old again as he. She was a tall, erect woman with dark eyebrows, staid and dignified, and, as she said of herself, intellectual. She read a great deal, used phonetic spelling, called her husband, not Dmitri, but Dimitri, and he secretly considered her unintelligent, narrow, inelegant, was afraid of her, and did not like to be at home. He had begun being unfaithful to her long ago -- had been unfaithful to her often, and, probably on that account, almost always spoke ill of women, and when they were talked about in his presence, used to call them "the lower race."…

    Anna Karenina Psychological Analysis

    The psychological aspect of this novel appears in Part Three in the relationship between Anna and Vronsky. This is the first time since they met that we begin to see a disconnect in their relationship. “At that time he had considered himself unhappy, but happiness lay ahead; while now he felt that his greatest happiness already lay behind him. She was completely different now from what she had been when he saw her first. Both morally and physically she had changed for the worst” (431). Vronksy sees his relationship with Anna getting worse as time goes on. At the beginning, the love they had was so strong and passionate, and now she has changed. Along almost the same lines, Anna is becoming unhappy because of her own thoughts. “She was doing what she always did when she saw him- comparing the image of him in her imagination (incomparably superior, and impossible in reality) with him as he was” (429). In her mind Anna has created this image of how Vronksy should be. By creating this image in her head and comparing reality to her imagination, Anna is making her own happiness impossible. Vronksy can’t live up to the perfect man she has envisioned; nobody ever will. This problem that Anna faces is the beginning of the journey that will eventually lead to her suicide. One could argue that the cause of her action is Vronksy and his decision to leave her. Even from the beginning, she sees her love for him as a beautiful thing, and he sees is as being humiliating for her. “’For God’s sake, which is better? To leave your son or to continue in this humiliating position?” (379). This meeting is the beginning of the disconnect in their relationship that will eventually lead to the end.…

    Titanic Paper

    My name is Eleanor Roster and I was eight years old when it all went down. I remember it like it was yesterday. I feel like those three, long, dreadful, cold hours just play over and over in my head constantly. I just remember hearing screams, and workers saying, “Women and children first!” I was a first class child, I should have been on a life boat first! Even when I think about it, it stirs up all of my anger, tears, and the need for revenge. I should have lived, I shouldn’t have frozen to death. I remember sinking into the water, watching the life boats float away with people aboard. They had tears, fear and thousands of worries in their eyes. I remember seeing tears, hearing screams and cries, smelling smoke, and feeling ice cold water on my pale white skin.(repetition sentence) I was one of the 1,517 people who died on the Titanic in 1912.( says “tears” a lot)…

    Jokes From Russia

    1 During the so-called Reverse Revolution of the 90-s in Russia many people were eager to try their hand in business. Even those who had no idea what kind of business or what business is at all wanted to become rich as quick as possible. So this guy, a typical town dweller by the way, decided to raise pigs and moved into the country. Somebody advised him that assuring it’s going to be a very easy and profitable business. This Somebody even gave him a few practical tips, saying how to start the whole matter: “ You just buy yourself a good big pig then bring her to a good boar with a certain reputation. As soon as the boar would cover and get mated with your pig then you may start counting your first piglets and then will be more and of them and they will make you rich.” So our new Russian Businessman did all as he was told: bought a huge pig, then put her into a wheelbarrow and drove her to the other side of the village to mate with a locally famous boar. The boar did his business and the man brought his pig back home. Rather tired he went to bed but first thing in the morning he rushed to the pigsty to count his piglets. But alas, there were no piglets! So the man thought “perhaps the boar hasn’t done his business properly let’s put them together again. So again the pig is put into a wheelbarrow, the wheelbarrow is driven to the other side of the village and the boar is doing his business again. Next morning, guess what? Still no piglets, not a single one! The man quite bewildered what could be possibly wrong, as his last effort put the pig into the wheelbarrow and dragged it to that flipping boar. The boar definitely did his business. Nothing Seems wrong with the boar at all. Ok, the man absolutely exhausted brought his pig back. In the morning being unable to do it himself the man asked his wife to go to the pigsty and see if there are any piglets. The wife soon came back. Well? – the man asked impatiently – how many of them has…

    It's Kind Of A Funny Story Analysis

    Vizzini chose to write about a teenager struggling with depression because he also struggled with the same thing as a young adult. “I went through a difficult time in my life, in my early twenties, and I found myself dealing with issues of life and death. This really spoke to me, and I chose to write about those issues” (Sara 2013). Craig, who was so determined to do good in school, and was under an unbearable amount of stress checked himself into a hospital and was put on the adult psychiatric floor very similar to what happened to Vizzini when he was 23. “When he was 23, he called a suicide hotline and was admitted in the adult wing of a psychiatric hospital in Brooklyn” (Famous authors 2012). Vizzini wrote about Craig overcoming his depression, however Vizzini was not as fortunate as Craig. “Vizzini who wrote openly about his struggles with depression, took his own life Thursday in Brooklyn, New York. He was 32” (Colker 2013). As Vizzini was writing It’s Kind Of a Funny Story, he was hoping to help teenagers who were also going through a hard time. While in the hospital Craig was able to get through his depression with the help of his anchors, which could teach readers how to overcome any hard times in their…
