...This woman’s name is Jade Thrasher. She is a nurse, and she is married to the love of her life, Matthew. Still, she was addicted to a habit that almost cost her life. Her father, Charles, was the first to notice a weird sore forming on her nose that turned this young woman’s life upside down. 1-12 As the Daily Mail reports, Jade wanted to be tanned and felt pressured to achieve that. After all, she was just one of the many who wanted to be bronzed. In Nashville, the place she live in, being pale was seen as unattractive. Then, in 2014, Jade started to grow concerned over the clear spot her father had noticed on her nose. Things were getting worse and the sore started bursting and refused to heal. Then she was told that she must get a biopsy...

...Leaving the sunny skies of Southern California wasn’t easy for Jade Walker, but after suffering two gut wrenching, tragic events, she made the difficult decision to leave her new life behind and return to that which she knew the best. Relocating back home to the rural community of Wolf Creek, located roughly three-thousand miles east of the bustling west coast city of Crawford, allowed her the chance to clear her head and also seize the opportunity to begin the career of her dreams as a published romance author. After the moving men placed the last cardboard box inside of her soon-to-be home office, Jade presented them with a generous tip and sent them on their way. As soon as she had seen them out, she proceeded to the kitchen to prepare...

The family which the author will be discussing in this assignment (Appendix 1) is considered to be a vulnerable family, the family member which will be the main focus is the 14 year old teenage mother with a ten week old baby. For the purpose of this essay pseudonyms will be used, they will be called Jade and Billy, to protect the client's identity and for confidentiality purposes, this is in line with the Nursing and Midwifery Council Code of Conduct guidelines (Nursing and Midwifery Council 2008). Every child and young person needs to be protected, feel secure and sheltered from abuse and harm in an environment which is safe and where their needs are met (Oliver and Pitt 2011). How children make sense of the world around them is formed by their early experiences as children, teenagers and our family life. Families nurture and build resilience and moral codes for children, this supports them in leading successful and fulfilling lives (Cabinet Office 2008). The family can be summarised as an institution which is exclusive for a vast range of functionality which it offers, this leads to outcomes for adults, children and the society in which they live. Family wellbeing does however depend upon the dedication and behaviours of its members (Hooper, Gorin, Cabral and Dyson 2007) and there are...

...Ann Mason, and “Story of an Hour”, by Kate Chopin along with the poem, “Lost Sister”, by Cathy Song a common theme is shared, a theme of women seeking individuality and later being met with a new freedom. Although, the literary works are not from the same genre or share common historical context the woman’s place in their society is exhibited. In this paper I will show the comparisons of how each woman is bound by a certain restriction which is released at the end of the writing. There is something special about every individual and that is their personal identity. It is hard to live a life when your personal identity is taken away from you to satisfy the needs of others. When one loses their identity at the hands of another they lose the connection to one’s self. When this connection is lost the anticipation of living through life experiences is far less gratifying, as if living life for someone else’s pleasures. Women in particular can lose their identity largely due to culture and tradition. In many cases for women to have the opportunity to find their lost identities it can be an...

...paragraph about something general about the theme. Remember to have quotes and examples from the text – at least two quotes. Bullying is persistent unwelcome behavior, we all have experienced. It can be in so many levels. It can leave its marks, and can have its consequences. But even though we do not think it is humane to bully, why is it continuing? Should we not step in, and help the bully victim? In the article “Big Brother Bullies little sister” by Stuart Jeffries, we are introduced to the contestant Jade in the “Big Brother” show, and how the show exposes people to get viewers. Jade is 21 years old and are from Bermondsey, she swears and talks behind her fellow housemate’s backs. Even though she can be nice, the Television show does not show it. They keep it hidden, and only show the other side of Jade. The huge audience begins to hate Jade, and threaten to hurt her on an unofficial Big Brother website. They make money from the viewers, so they can´t just let Jade go. “Channel 4, which thanks to the 25p-a-minute eviction phone lines and costly "news update" which misguided people can have texted their mobile phones, is making money out this hate” (p.28.ll,40-45) The television show “Big Brother” is a game show in which a group of contestants, called housemates , live in a house isolated from , which includes everyday facilities such as a fully equipped kitchen, garden, bedroom, bathroom and.

...Sarah Munoz Professor Nixon English 1102 7 February 2013 Learning from Satire in George Saunders’s “Sea Oak” George Saunders composes dark and weird short stories which usually turn out to be a blessing in disguise for his characters, good and bad. In his story “Sea Oak” Saunders gives us a glimpse of everyday life for an uneducated lower class family. There is optimistic Aunt Bernie, negative Nancy’s: Min and Jade, and the stripper pilot narrator (whose name is not disclosed). Aunt Bernie dies and comes back to life as a bitter and vulgar old lady who can see the future and has telekinesis; through her powers she forces her nieces and nephew to get their life together. Satire is used by Saunders in most of his short stories to show some problems he thinks contemporary America is facing. In an interview with The Missouri Review Saunders says, “Satire, for me, is a way of encouraging clear sight. Teasing is a way of encouraging clear sight.” Throughout “Sea Oak” Saunders exposes the imperfections of contemporary America, such as: stupid reality shows, laziness, the need to look perfect, the “American Way,” and doing shameful things. Saunders uses Aunt Bernie as the motivation for her nieces and nephews to “encourage clear sight” for the problems they face in America. First impressions are made not by how smart you are or your personality but by looks. In this particular story the narrator’s job is dependent on looks since it’s a male version of Hooters. At the narrator’s...

...One Event changed my life I had walked these halls a thousand times within the last month, everytime trying to block it all out. You can not be upset in there, do not let them see… I thought while I tried to keep the shield up that guarded all my emotions. What had felt like a year, was just over a month since Jackson, my baby cousin had been admitted into the hospital. Before I walked in, breaking the threshold to his room, I took a deep breath, repeating those words which had seemed to be on replay lately, Do not let them see, keep it together… I walked in the room to see the Doctor fiddling with all the wires on Jackson’s fragile little body. I sat in one of the open chairs and watched my defenceless cousin. I wanted to do something to...

...I miss Jade. I really do. If only I could turn back the time wasted, I would love to have her back. But I know that I couldn’t. There would be no other chance again to have her back. Simply because I know that her time is already done and there would be another people to live the life that she deserved. And yes, she has gone pass all the best times that we could have shared together. But she’s not here anymore. I remember one time when she told me that her laughter was her favorite thing about herself. She told me it was different. She had not heard any laughter as crooked and weird as hers. Hers was like a snoozing pig; sometimes like a snorting cow. But whatever, she would always say, she loved how she laughed over things- may it be really funny or just light to bear. She laughed at the weirdest things on earth. Her heart was soft and she always got easily distracted by things. Her heart was a heart of a child. She cried over things that are too small even for me, but for her, things, may it be really tiny, she saw them as truly big ones. And who would even forget about her smile? Hers was, in fact, one of the prettiest that I have seen. Everytime that she asked me if it was pretty, I would always tell her that it is; that she should always wear it because it makes her face look clear and fine all the time. But she never did. She seldom wore that kind of smile, that smile that never hid anything. What she often wore was the smile that covered all the sad things that broke...

But there seemed to be something missing for Jade. It wasn’t television that he felt was the best medium to express his artistry. 2The All-Around Gem “But I really want to focus on films so I handled script continuity for Direk Uro de la Cruz in movies he was doing for Regal like Bahay ni Lola,Singsing ni Lola and Bakit Papa with the SexBomb.

...the west coast, from what is today Guerrero, Colima, Jalisco, Nayarit and Sinaloa. For the most part, these cultures remain an enigma. “To some extent this is due to geographic isolations,” Pesqueira explains, “but mostly it is because they left no great ceremonial centers like Teotihuacán and Monte Albán.” The art of occidental Mexico mostly differs from that of other regions in its secular nature (Barto, 2006). Rather than depicting idealized images of priests and warriors, their sculpture shows real human beings engaged in everyday activities: washing clothes, playing ball, and informal gatherings. “The Aztecs were very influenced by the question of religion and warfare,” says Pesqueira. “But in the cultures of the west coast the form of life is much more human, less rigid.” But neither were the Aztec and Maya wholly concerned with warfare and human sacrifice. The Maya, for...

...The Horror of Technology A week before classes started I went to the bookstore to purchase my books required by classes. For my English Composition class two books were necessary, The Norton’s Field Guide to Writing and Alone Together by Sherry Turkle. I thought to myself, “Great! Not only do we have to write in this class, but we also have to read a book.” I read the cover of the book to get an idea of what this book was all about. “Why we expect more for technology and less from each other”. It seemed slightly interesting. People always hear from their older relatives, “Back in my day…” These statements usually shocked us. Like, how did they do that, or how did they survive? It intrigued me to learn how technology has affected us. We were first assigned to read the Author’s Notes and the Introduction. From this I found out Sherry Turkle was actually a creditable source, not just some random person ranting. She is a teacher at MIT, and also psychoanalytically trained psychologist (Turkle ix-xvii). Likewise, I found out Turkle used various methods to collect data for her book: clinical trials, interviews, research, studying certain age groups, and immersing herself in the environment. We will go more in depth on these methods later. She seemed like an amazingly laid back writing in these sections being very open, throwing in a few comical lines, and telling many stories. “Maybe this was not going to be a boring book after all,” I considered to myself with relief. During the...
