...who could not have been more different. Rather than reckless passion, her choice, born of cowardice, was for the security of a quiet life full of privilege. Peter Walsh, an old and close friend of Clarissa’s, has returned to England after five years in India, and comes to visit her. Peter Walsh once loved Clarissa, but she had refused to marry him. Clarissa introduces Peter to her daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth is 17 years old, and has an older friend and tutor named Doris Kilman. Elizabeth goes to lunch with Miss Kilman.

...deepen our awareness of ourselves and our feelings in a less intellectual manner than the more traditional forms of therapy. "Gestalt" means the whole; it implies wholeness. In any experience or interaction there are feelings in the foreground and in the background. The idea in Gestalt therapy is that all of us have had to repress or supress aspects of ourselves because they were not accepted or supported. It is these aspects of ourselves or our feelings that end up in the background and can become unfinished business. Gestalt therapy can help shed light on unfinished business by helping us to focus our awareness on our feelings (or lack of feelings) moment to moment. Once we recognize our unfinished business,( i.e. uncomfortable feelings, stuck patterns of behavior, or ways in which we perceive ourselves and others that are based on our experiences as opposed to reality), we are better equipped to understand ourselves and to choose whether we want to make changes or not. [pic] One method utilized in Gestalt therapy is the empty-chair technique. This is a simple tool in self-exploration and is clearly explained in an excerpt taken from the Internet. When you go see a Gestalt therapist, the office will usually have an extra chair--an empty chair. This chair serves an important function. The therapist may ask you to imagine holding a conversation with someone or something imagined to be in the empty chair. Thus, the "empty chair technique" stimulates your thinking...

...Sonnet: “to an Empty Page” In Robert Pack's, "To an Empty Page," the speaker discusses death and its consequences regarding relief to show the author's purpose as a feeling of loneliness and depression. He does this with the use of an echo sonnet form, foreshadowing within the title, and through the use of emotion evoking pathos. Pack's use of a sonnet for reveals his feelings and emotions toward love, which sonnets are normally about. Readers can feel the raw emotion that Pack reveals in his discussion regarding the speakers possible death and loss of love, thereafter. In addition, the fact that he wrote an echo sonnet aids in the author’s purpose because it allows the reader to be aware of the words meant to be emphasized. Along with its emphasis, the echo, in some cases, seems to answer a rhetorical question made by the speaker. For example, “what’s the end of my life’s long disease? Ease,” (line 7). Within this quote, the speaker is relaying his belief that the only way to relieve himself of life’s burdens is through death. Pack exposes his true feelings of loneliness, which in sonnet form allows readers to sense his passion. The title, "To an Empty Page," Pack eludes that his poem is dark and filled with sadness. A breakdown of the title shows that Pack's diction with using, "To," was as if the speaker was sending his sonnet to somebody; as if he were talking to an imaginary listener. But contrast to that idea, he is sending his sonnet to, "an Empty Page," meaning...

...objects that will better your lifestyle. A lot of people don’t know the opposite of happiness. Pleasure can be a feeling of being happy because of their connection between each other. The more happiness inside the happier you may be. The more you have the more you may be happy. When buying or receiving something’s you feel happy. I believe that money does not buy happiness. Happiness is a feeling we find within ourselves as human beings. I feel that money can make a person happy for that one moment but not for ta lifetime. I believe that everyone should take note in and learn about the importance of money and there happiness within it. If you are rich and wealthy you may think that you have it all but ask yourself, are you really happy with just the money you have in your wallet? Money can buy you a lot of things but it can never buy you happiness. What is the true opposite of happiness? The opposite of happiness is not sadness. Its emptiness. One is surrounding a loss and the other a celebration. I believe that these two experiences are related to one another. The feeling of emptiness is the opposite of true happiness. Happiness and sadness isn’t in any way less than happy. When feeling empty you discover true depression and that can take away your happiness. I believe that emptiness can make someone bring one day and not fulfill their dreams. Their opposite is not feeling at all. Many people have their own opinion of the opposite of happiness. Is pleasure and happiness the same...

...I fell in love with him. It could be his brown eyes, his cute smile, his manly figure or his good voice. One day he just came and suddenly, all I know is I’m in love. Elated I was, indeed. It felt so perfect that I never thought if he’s feeling the same. I never knew if he’ll leave me. I never knew how long will he stay. Because it was forever in my eyes. All I see is him with me, infinitely. It was like a raging tornado. A tornado that could hit somewhere without a warning. An unexpected phenomenon that could be fatal. An occurrence that could happen instantly and leave a mark eternally. Once it stricken,in a snap, everything will be devastated. That is how I define it, after he left. My heart broke into fragments. Crushed, every single bit of it. Tears drowned me, pain distressed me. I don’t know how to perfectly describe the agony I felt. But I’m sure, it is the most damaging feeling I’ve felt in my life. When he left me for another girl, I’ve never been anything but a sober and a whimper. I spent hours on my bed thinking where I went wrong, what could have been and what I should have done. You can’t eat, you can’t sleep, and you can never do anything useful. You feel worthless, insignificant and rubbish. But you see, you cannot be empty like this for long. You have to move on. You have to forget everything. It is the...

...logical sequence of events to paint a psychological feeling inside the reader’s mind. Two of Robert Frost’s poems, “Desert Places” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, take readers through a New England winter setting, reflecting the beautiful scenery through his descriptive imagery. However, even though these two poems are set in a wintry backdrop, they convey very different tones. One has a feeling of loneliness, and the other a welcoming feeling of solitude. In this paper, I intend to illustrate how two very similar natural settings are written to express two very different themes of loneliness. The poems “Desert Places” and “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” have quite a few similarities. For instance, they both share the same rhythmic scheme; A,A,B,A. They both are set in a snowy, evening where darkness is taking over quickly. In both poems there is a man traveling alone, where no other souls are around. There is a sense that both travelers are stepping away from life for a brief moment in time. The contrast of darkness and whiteness against the horizon is apparent in both poems, however in “Stopping by Woods”, the depth of the darkness is inviting. In “Desert Places”, the whiteness of the snow is blank and meaningless. This is where Robert Frost’s themes in these two poems begin to emerge to the reader. In the Poem “Desert Places” whiteness and blankness are two key symbols used to express feelings of emptiness. The...

...playing in the fall, which leaves the reader with feelings of youthfulness and warmth. It goes to great lengths to give the reader an image of that time of year. “Canvas of Encouragement” centers around an artist without inspiration and out of time. The author of “Canvas of Encouragement” tries to give the reader a sense of helplessness. While different in tone, both of the poems are excellent in their execution of different techniques. The poem “Fall” by Ivy Tech Student Cynthia Long painted a very familiar picture of the fall. She makes the poem have a very warm feeling about it early on, mentioning the colors of the leaves golden-yellow, brown, and orange. Cynthia continues her playful imagery by telling us she jumped in the leaves and tells about her father raking them on top of their, suggesting a child-like innocence. Her explanation of stomping on leaves just to hear them crunch only strengthens her playful nature of the poem because almost every person has done this as a child.Also, the usage of the word “crunch” and describing the pile of leaves as “crisp” makes us almost hear the leaves crumbling. Another poem “Canvas of Encouragement” by Rebecca Hancock paints a much different picture, or doesn't. This poem is much more adult and serious, centered around a blank canvas and someone who is unable to find the inspiration to paint. The first line makes the reader feel very empty and hollow, using the words blank and empty, which describe the canvas. The second line...

...away leaving the night in peace. Reminiscence- The second stanza makes us feel that the Indian chief is longing for his tribe and his way of life and is looking back on memories, remembering the days when his teepee was not the only one standing there. Pride- We get a feeling of pride in the third stanza because the Indian chief stands strong, out side his teepee looking into the empty land which used to be occupied by his people. Despair- The tones changed to a more saddening mood because the chief is only able to look back at the vibrancy of his memories. Pain- This stanza makes us feel pain because the Indian chief is all alone, nothing is left but emptiness and skeleton bones. He is surrounded by a complete silence. Sunset- The sunset symbolizes the end of the day or the end of the tribe. It implies that they left peacefully and as smooth as the sunset. Skeleton- The skeletons show how the land naked and bare the land has become and how the tribe’s ways have died off. Shadow-like- The shadow is the chief’s memories, always right with him but never close enough to touch. His memories like a shadow that just pops out on nowhere. Empty west- The west is empty land; everything is gone, lonely and dark. Bleach- It could mean that the reason for the tribe disappearing is from bleach skinned people coming and taking their land. Tent poles- It symbolizes holding everything together, they hold up the teepee and hold up the tribe...

...Sets • A Set is a collection of objects. Each object in the set is called an element or a member. Curly braces , { }, are used to list the elements in a set. The ∈ symbol is used to denote that an element is in a given set. For example: consider the set A = {2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11}. 5 ∈ A and 8 ∈ A / . – p.1/?? Sets • Sets may also be written using set builder notation of the form {x | x has property P} For example: the set of even integers can be written E = {x | x = 2k for k any integer} . – p.2/?? Sets • The empty set, denoted φ, is the set that contains no elements. Do not but braces around the empty set. {φ} actually represents the set that contains the empty set. • A Universal set, denoted U, is the set that includes all the objects being discussed. . – p.3/?? Sets • The number of elements in a set B is denoted n(B). For example: n(A) = 6 and n(φ) = 0. • Two sets are equal if they contain exactly the same elements. For example: {1, 2, 3} = {2, 3, 1}, but {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 4} . – p.4/?? Subsets • Set A is a subset of set B, denoted A ⊆ B, if every element of A is also an element of B. A Set A is a proper subset of set B, denoted A ⊂ B, if A ⊆ B and A = B. With all of this notation it is often nice to have a diagram representing the sets. • The diagram for sets is called a Venn diagram. . – p.5/??
