Essays on Mate

Thesis Statement: The film illustrated how greed and blood lust of the people can lead to a bitter end after several African Americans became victims of exploited labor force which is in the simplest form of slavery employed by the Native Americans, who took advantage of their ignorance during the 18th century. 1.) The block quotation that was chosen and was compressed in the film which and should have been more highlighted is the line, “As the price of whale oil continued to rise, while the economy of the other countries continued to suffer due to economic depression, Nantucket ...

METHODOLOGY Over a period of time of four week study three generations of flies starting with a parental (P) generation that has already separate the flies in each generation of each cross into males and females and separate the flies according to their mutations. Based on the observed numbers of each phenotype in each generation of each cross hypothesize the parental cross and use the chi-square (x2) test and if there is little difference between the observed results and the expected results, the chi-square will have a low value, thus, the hypothesis will be supported in this case. ...

The Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred on the 24th of March 1989 in Prince William Sound in Alaska. The Exxon Valdez an oil tanker was on route to Long Beach, California when it hit the Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound. The accident caused between 11-38 million gallons of crude oil to spill into the ocean in the next few days. Response to the disaster was slow due to Prince William Sound only being reachable by boat, helicopter, or plane. The identified causes of the spill are (1) The failure of Exxon to oversee the master, along with ensuring ...

There are many theories as to how a person may become who he or she is. Some people believe that they are directly shaped by the events that happen in a person’s past, while other thinkers state that people go through different dialectical stages that led up to one’s current state. In this sense, there are many elements that one must be aware of in order to adequately analyze one’s life development. Three of the most important development theorists are B. F. Skinner, John Watson and Erik Erikson; these three men founded Operant Conditioning, Behaviorism and ...

“Words/Meanings” from the Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer:

Foer’s article raised many interesting points. It is laid out rather like a dictionary, with a list of words followed by the author’s definitions and feelings around them. Some words were closely related to the topic of eating animals, for example, “Broiler Chickens,” and some more ambiguous, for example, “Desperation.” One of the most interesting words and meanings for me was “Suffering.” Foer discusses possible meanings behind this word and whether it is possible for someone to argue that animals don’t suffer. Suffering is a difficult term to define and to measure. The question becomes even ...

Dating is the humans’ period of sexual selection. This is when two individuals meet, either in aim of being friends or in order to assess whether the other person is suitable as a future partner. In this discussion, we offer some pieces of advice to future daters. This is in relation to how a person can attract a potential mate. Although there are various actions that a person must conduct in order to attract somebody, the advice will depend on gender who wants to attract another individual. According to the Walster et al. (1973), women who are hard to ...

There is always a small gap between the freedom the animals will have in the wild and the freedom in a confined space. Freedom in a zoo. The reaction of the wild animals as they are moved from one place to another cannot be assumed to be okay since the animals will need to adapt to the new environment. Although there is a need for the protection of the animals from poaching, destruction of their habitat, the zoo does not offer the best environment for the wild animals. Why should an animal that is used to roaming freely around ...

There are a lot of themes which were popular in the past and still are actual. Gender roles are one of them. This topic has been always very important and very popular. Gender norms have changed with society and have a big influence. It also depends on the region of location, its culture, religion, traditions, historical beliefs, and habits. “Gender roles are the product of the interactions between individuals and their environments, and they give individuals cues about what sort of behavior is believed to be appropriate for what sex” (Blackstone). Very often says that the role of women ...

Q1. Explain the regulation of the cell cycle

Every cell is regulated by particular checkpoints to ensure that the daughter cells are exact duplications. This is to help guarantee that cell mutations are not passed on to the next generation of cells. In eukaryotic cells, there are three main checkpoints. These are points at which cell replication can be halted until certain conditions are met (Boundless, 2016). The first checkpoint is near the end of the G1 phase. It is here that DNA gets evaluated and checked for damage. If damage has occurred, it either gets corrected or gets prevented from moving on to the next phase ( ...

Health care delivery systems are mechanisms for offering health-related services aimed at meeting the health demands of individuals. Contrarily, health organizations are entities developed to meet the healthcare needs of individuals. This assignment compares and contrasts health care organizations and delivery systems using the Kaiser Permanente (KP) example. The American healthcare delivery system constitutes of several models pegged on numerous structures and institutions. One of these models is the KP integrated healthcare delivery system. This system consists of three subdivisions including an insurance health risk plan, hospital networks, and physicians. The KP system looks into the provision of quality, ...

Introduction

The process of learning in animals and humans come through a series of situations that come together to motivate, and ignite the brains and enable them to repeat specific actions in the face of certain circumstances. The basic logic presented by psychologists and biologists is that there is intrinsic motivation based on the brain which controls the nerves and models of an animal or human being. This implies that an external variable triggers an extrinsic motivation that gets the organism to ignite the internal or intrinsic motivation in order to undertake certain actions and internalize it in order to ...

The stories presented by Lawson are characterized by realistic illustrations of limited desires and needs of common domestic life and many hardships. Isolation is a very prolific theme in this the Drover’s Wife because the whole story explores the issues of loneliness, separation from mates and hard work by the women characters in the absence of their husbands. The woman is used to being left alone and it even states that she was once left alone for eighteen months. As a young lady, she desires to live like a princess and have a good life, and that is ...

The filter theory best explains my own perception of the mate selection process. According to Bullough and Bullough (1994), the filter theory takes into account the developmental nature of intimate relationship. It is hypothesized in the theory that people who are looking for a mate usually engage in an initial screening to look for similarity involving different variables like cultures, values and compatibility. This is true considering that there are vast choices of people that one can meet and become a potential mate, it is necessary to narrow down the choices available to ensure finding the most ideal mate ...

Today more and more people are getting the feeling that they are living a draft, and someday later, their life will be transmitted onto a clean copy. Trying to fill in the void inside, they still get no satisfaction. It leads to various outcomes, some better, and some worse. What people eventually want is a piece of happiness – an abstract term that everybody interprets individually. Elizabeth Renzetti and Gabor Mate each describe the factors that contribute to and symptoms that arise from loneliness and substance abuse, respectively. Mate claims that some people find chemical substances give them what they ...

Nowadays social groups and individuals are not perceived as a closed and self-sufficient phenomena. They are included in the general relationship and interdependence. Universal interconnection, interdependence and relationships are extremely complicated by contradictory processes of globalization. The role and influence on the formation of national consciousness of the cultural self-identity should be borne in mind that national identity is implemented at two levels: the social (public, community at large) and personal (personal) (Bem, 1967). The need for self-determination has always been an important human need. Erich Fromm believed that this need is rooted in human nature (Fromm, 1939). Social ...

Theory 1: (PBS/NOVA) Peaceful bonobos and Violent Chimpanzees. Because chimpanzees are closely related to humans it is likely that some humans act very much like the violent chimpanzees, however, many humans are peaceful too. Although I would be more likely to state that the reason is within our DNA by strictly looking at the data for both primates, I am actually a believer in both nurture and nature, as evidenced by the fact that although most children are raised by the same people and can have siblings that are completely different in personality traits. Therefore, my belief is ...

Reaction Paper Based on Reading Confusing Love with Obsession by Moore

Confusing Love with Obsession Character Assessment According to table 8.7, there are six styles of loving. Examining the meaning of each type, it is evident that the predominant form of love in the characters in the book Confusing Love With Obsession is mania type of loving. Mania type of love is defined as possessive, demanding and excitable (Miller, 2014). There are various traits that characterize people that would confuse love with obsession thus fitting the characters to Mania type of love. The first trait that is observed in those that confuse love with obsession is the fact that they ...

Frankenstein is the main character in Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s gothic novel also known as Modern Prometheus. She is influenced by ideas and a dream from a summer holiday in Switzerland. During the summer holiday, she and her companions had shared and read German ghost stories, and then one of them, Bryan Lord suggested that they have a competition to see who would come up with the best horror story (Mary 15). One of them had suggested that corpses could also be re-animated, this brought to Shelley’s mind the idea of galvanism. During one of the nights she ...

United States Navy (gunner's mate position)

Introduction The United States Navy occupational position of gunners mate is a position given by the bureau of naval personnel to particular sailors who either completed the initial gunners mate A school training or who qualify for the rating by exhibiting high competence in the ordinance field. The power of the individuals to be eligible for the position is based on the striking skills and when one is striking he/she do not necessarily require to be a seaman but can either be a fireman or an airman. The research paper is in the United States Navy gunners mate position. ...

Within India, a large number of people marry through the arrangement made by their parents. An arranged marriage is done when the family makes choices about the spouse of a family member. These choices are normally done by the father or the male head of the family. A couple gets together “according to their family’s wishes, and the focus is on accepting and adjusting to partners after marriage,” (Myers, Madathil, and Tingle, 187). In other words, in an arranged marriage, romantic love and affection are not prerequisites for a couple to marry – love and affection are instead expected ...

Question 1:

Improving the patient experience is a two way journey that requires accomplishment from both the patients and the 14 member staff. First, it is important that there is good communication between patients and staff members. Such will improve conditions within the healthcare environment. For example, patients will be able to talk about the issues that they face such as bad hygiene or noisy environment. Motivation and accountability require the use of physiological, safety, belonging, esteem and self-actualization concepts to show the staff members the importance of their roles. The use of bonuses, performance appraisals, and improved wages will see ...

Abstract

A lot of demerits are associated with sexual selection in certain animals. Top of the list is the fact that this process has led to the development of certain characteristics which are costly to the carrier even to the point of increased chances of death by predation. This review however weighs the advantages derived from this process of sexual selection against this major argument and tries to point out that the benefits (individual and population benefits) derived from the development of these structures compensates for the cost incurred by its presence.

Introduction

Sexual selection is a special kind of natural ...

Consequences of Assortative Mating in Humans

Assortative mating refers to whereby individuals having same genotype mate with each other to produce offsprings’. This changes the genotypic and allelic frequencies in a given population. It is sometimes due to the frequent intra-sexual competition within a population. There are several consequence of assortative mating. It results to homozygosity increase due to phase disequilibrium of gametes. Therefore, the gametes will have no differences. Another consequence is that the variance of the total population will also increase. Genetic effects in a given population are greatly influenced by the assortative mating degree. In a population where assortative mating has occurred, ...

Question 1

In mitosis, the number of chromosomes before and after cell division do not change. Mitosis results in daughter cells are having a diploid number of chromosomes as the parent cells.

Question 2

Mitosis is divided into four phases: Prophase- in this phase, the chromosomal material (chromatin) condenses forming compact chromosomes which are seen as two chromatids joined together at the centromere. The mitotic spindle also starts to assemble with the help microtubules Metaphase- In this phase, the spindle fibres become attached to the kinetochores of chromosomes. Chromosomes move to the equator and are aligned along the metaphase plate via spindle fibres ...

Trivers (1972) defined parental investment as any investment that a parent makes in one offspring leading to an increased likelihood of that offspring surviving to the productive age and thus enhance the parent’s reproductive success, at the expense of the parent’s ability to make investments in another offspring. Parental investment theory (PIT) views each offspring as an investment that is independent of the other offspring. Therefore, an increase in investment in one offspring may be associated with a decrease in parental investment in the other offspring. Parental investment may be in the form of metabolic investment, feeding, ...

Media and Romantic Relationships

In today’s modern world, the media can influence people more than they realize. Television, movies, novels and magazines are saturated with messages and beliefs on romantic relationships. People nowadays look to movies and television for information about love. The very first message the media convey in the many romantic movies or shows that appear is that destiny plays a major role in romance (Holmes n.p.). This means that people are said to be meant for each other given predestined factors. Because of that, many people believe that their “soul mate” is out there and that they will meet ...

Women through the ages are often assumed to have been subjugated and placed in roles below men. While this is often the case, as it was for the women of ancient Mesopotamia, when compared to the women of ancient Egypt we see not all civilizations felt women needed to be quiet homemakers. The women of ancient Egypt were seen as equal in nearly all ways to that of men. Legally and in marriage, women were able to have more freedom than that of women of ancient Mesopotamia. They were only thought to have stereotypically feminine duties when it came ...

A Rose for Emily is one of the most famous American short stories. It was first published in 1930. Here William Faulkner described a small southern city Jefferson, where people found a horrible secret of Emily Grierson after her death. The old spinster killed her love mate Homer Barron, saved his body and slept in one bed with it. There were several adaptations of this story. I think the most interesting was a movie posted on YouTube by Stu Rostad. Here author transferred story’s events to our days. Faulkner did not use many dates in his story. But ...

Chapter 1 What Is Evolution?

In Coyne’s Why Evolution Is True (2009), the debate between the theories of creationism and evolution is introduced. The two theories take vastly different approaches to explain how and why the world is full of the many variations of plants, animals, insects, reptiles, and human beings. The theory of creationism explains these things by intelligent design. This is where divine intervention takes place and an almighty, omnipotent god creates all beings, all of a sudden, with all of the variations needed to survive in the environment that they currently live. There is no macroevolution, only slight adaptations of ...

Economic segment

Coffee is a very popular drink in the USA and coffee consumption has been gradually growing in the past few years. In Figure 1 one can see that the 2009 was the year when the revenue of the U.S coffee and snack shops began to grow again after the sharp fall because of the economic recession. Coffee houses and specialty eateries do especially well when the macroeconomic conditions are favourable. During the period of economic growth, the households witness the increase in their disposable income and therefore they can consume more coffee. Figure 1 U.S coffee and snack shops ...

[Paper Number] I recorded my collaboration events over the course of approximately one and a half days and accumulated a total of 20 events. These collaborative events ranged from going to the gym, speaking on the phone, speaking in person with friends, relatives and strangers, and attending a party. I am of a particular personality-type that prefers to be with people. I preferred to have a room-mate rather than live alone, for example, so I sought out a room-mate quite soon after moving to New York. However, sometimes being on my own (not collaborating at all) is the best ...

The text under analysis is Richard M. Nixon’s speech named Checkers Speech. At the time it was given, September 23, 1952, Nixon was a young Senator from California and a running mate of Dwight D. Eisenhower, a candidate for Presidency. The speech was a response to the accusation made concerning Nixon’s spending $18,000 of the Trust money for his personal expenses. In the speech, Nixon aims at persuading his TV audience, which was estimated to be approximately 60 million people, that he has nothing to hide and he is honest with the voters. To prove it, ...

Abstract

The population of any species should be preserved using any means necessary. There are genetic preservation and natural preservation. The genetic preservation strategy takes a shorter time than the natural strategy. A hypothesis was developed to establish the possible breeding options that were available. Also, lab tests were conducted on the same breeding topic. The kind of breeding strategy that was used is crucial to the development and sustenance of the population. There exists planned breeding strategy and planned breeding strategy. However, the random breeding strategy is prone to inbreeding. This refers to the breeding of species that are ...

Reflection Paper

One of the most important concepts I have learnt in this course is about mate selection. The concept is important because acts like the foundation of a marriage (J. H. Lauer & J. C. Lauer, 2009). Every person has a responsibility to choose the person he or she would like to marry. With the changing trend, the choose of partner is no longer in the hands parents or other close relatives as it was in the olden days, but it is left in the hands of young people who are inexperienced in the area. Unfortunately, instead of choosing life partners based on ...

You’re committed to finding your ideal life partner, so now you have to do more than talk about it. The time has come for action if it is ever to be more than an idea, a plan, an ambition, an objective. As Flannery put it, finding out how to choose someone you intend to spend your life with “can be scary to say the least, that is if you take commitment seriously.”

The conventional wisdom says that you should date as many prospective candidates as you can in the hope that at some stage you will recognize that ...

Introduction

The lion is a member of the cat family. However, this animal is significantly different because more often than not, it does not display the typical characteristics of the cat family members. One of the least typical traits of the cat family members is sociality. This trait is however one of the most exciting aspects of the life of a lion. In fact, this aspect cannot be overemphasized seeing that most of the other cats are not social at all. The aim of this presentation is to explore this exciting aspect, that is the social behavior and structure of lions, in ...

Love may refer to the emotion that is associated with strong affection and attachment. It is the virtue that represents the human compassion, kindness and affection towards other human beings, animals or one’s self. In psychology, love is depicted as a social and a cognitive phenomenon. Robert Sternberg, who was a psychologist, came up with a triangular love theory arguing that love is made up of three different components. These components are commitment, intimacy, as well as passion.

The component of intimacy occurs when two individuals share confidences and other personal details of their lives. This is usually shown in romantic love ...

Natural selection can be referred to as a process through which biological traits turn either more or less common within a population as a function of the impact of hereditary traits on the differential reproductive victory of organisms’ interaction with their surroundings. It is a major evolution mechanism. Charles Darwin popularized the term natural selection with an intention to have it compared with artificial selection, now referred to as selective breeding.

There exists variation within every organism’s populations. This takes place partly since random mutations happen in the genome of an organism, and these mutations can be acquired by offspring. All ...

Argentina is the eighth largest country in the world and is located in Latin America, which means its culture, also known as cultura rioplatense (River Plate culture from the name of the River Plate Basin region, where the country is situated), is a result of intermixture of the extremely diverse European immigrant and local cultures ("Culture of Argentina"). It is deemed that historically the prevalent impact on the Argentine culture was made by the Spanish rule and Roman Catholic traditions. At the same time, although the migration of Europeans led to the demise of the indigenous culture, their influence is ...

The Ozark Big Eared Bat

The Ozark Big Eared Bats (Corynorhinus townsendii ingens) are found in different habitats accross the United States. They are limited in number and are found in Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma; however, it was reported that they are no longer found in Missouri because of the destruction of the environment. In Oklahoma, they are found in Adair County and adjacent parts of Cherokee and Delaware counties. In the early 1970s, the Ozark big eared bats were documented to only be a hundred in Missouri. With efforts in the l980s, it was reported that an increase in number among these creatures have occurred. ...

Abstract

Life history and sexual selection in mating evolution has continued to draw much interest from researchers. It is still not very clear whether sexual selection prevents or helps the mating behavior in order to adapt to modern environments. In a recent study by Wigby and Chapman (2006) behaviors such as the time it takes for mating, the probability of mating and duration for mating were the behaviors that were investigated in the same group of populations of seed beetles callosobruchus maculates. This study reviews some of the research done on this subject. In deed, there are many factors, which contribute ...

Introduction

Cross-cultural research is the scientific study of members of different cultures who have different experiences that lead to varying mental processes and behavior. In most cases cross-cultural studies are carried out in cultures that speak different languages. The process of carrying out cross-cultural research involves; establishing research questions, sample cultures, assess contract, choose the method, task and instructions, language and translation, experimenter, additional variables, data analysis, tentative conclusions and finally planning of the next study (Byrne & Vijver, 2010). The following essay focuses on the methodological, theoretical and ethical issues in cross-cultural research performed parental influence on the choice ...

In regards to relativism and subjectivism we can establish that holding a moral belief is a subjective opinion, but using the divine command theory can lead us to the conclusion that morality has the possibility of objectivity. Opinions could be based on personal culture/folklore, family history, or media portrayal. Unless one can strip away all of these subjective opinion inducing factors, an individual’s specific morality cannot be objective and most likely won’t be relevant to a large amount of ethical situations. This bias obviously limits objectivity, since opinions are decided by a person’s background and social peers instead of morality. ...

D – I am an avid member of a group tasked to design a feasible start up business challenge within the budget of $250,000 for the first year. Our group agreed unanimously on 4 March 2013 that we launch a company called ‘Serve a Mate – SAM.’ The company specializes in selling fast food and beverages, and specifically targets to serve workers in the following industries; manufacturing, building and construction, transport & logistics, festival and events. After holding a debate during long hours of brainstorming, we agreed on the logistics of how the business would be operated. We settled to have in ...

The assignments allowed all groups to answer questions regarding Concurrency Control and the importance it plays in Database Management. The work was divided well among the group members and each person contributed well. This assignment helped us understand how this type of work is applied. This is basically something that is used to fix conflicts within the system when multiple users are accessing data or maybe even altering it. The concurrency system is made to sort out this data in a way where it will not be harmed by muti-user activities. An application like this is something that can be ...

Each year, parents and students alike often worry about the extremely high costs attached to funding a high-quality education from top-notch and respected colleges and universities. From tuition fees to miscellaneous fees, budgeting is crucial to save money, and secure student future. A part of the miscellaneous fee is the living expenses of a college student, who can be given the choice of staying in campus or commuting at home. Some students opt to stay in the campus residences because they believe that it is much cheaper than commuting back home. For international students, this has been their only option to ...

Introduction

One of the subjects that has been exposed to intensive research throughout the years is human relationships. It is said that humans are the most complex of all beings created and to fully understand them would take thousands of years of research. Human relationships, especially those between and men are said to be hugely complex and incomprehensible. This has not however stopped social scientists from conducting intensive research trying to demystify the concept of human relationships, particularly those between men and women. This subject has also been explored in pop culture, particularly in films and television series. There are ...

Interpersonal Communication

Interpersonal Communication in Relationships Abstract Interpersonal communication is believed to be present since the beginning of human life on earth. However, it has always been marked with certain issues such as ineffective communication, wrongfully used communicational tools, and its detrimental impact on relations. Communication and relation are strongly interdependent. This paper sets out to find out the solutions to these communicational problems with respect to their influence on relations. Both examples from existing literature as well as personal experience will be utilized to reach the most appropriate conclusion.

Introduction

Techniques utilized for interpersonal communication usually shape or direct ...

Social exchange theory is a collective psychological and sociological perspective that defines community change and permanence as away of discussion of relationship between groups. The theory states that all human beings relate to each other mutually where they must benefit from each other. For example when an individual in a relationship feels that he/she is not benefiting as earlier on expected, then the theory foretell that in one way or the other the individual will abandoned the relationship. Theorists further clarified that if the cost and gains are the same then that relationship is biased. The idea of equity is central ...

Moby-Dick; or The Whale by Herman Melville tells a story of Captain Ahab's voyage who is in pursuit of a great white whale. Stubb, Flask and Starbuck are three mates of Pequod; they are in pursuit of a whale as they seek to revenge following the order given by Ahab the captain. This paper will focus on Flask and Starbuck, considering that the two have differing personalities and attitudes apparent from the story, this paper will essentially compare the two characters: their attitudes and actions. Stubb the first mate of Pequot is portrayed to be a person who approaches any situation as ...

The cannon of human literature is littered with instances of human beings trying to aspire to the level of creators. There are many examples in different cultures of mankind suffering consequences when aspiring to the level of creation that these societies reserves for the gods. Ready examples include the Adam and Eve story in which humankind tastes from a tree of knowledge. Another example is that of Prometheus, the god who brought woes on humankind by given it the gift (or was it the curse?) of fire. In more modern times films and literature reflect this same human concern. The ...

Infant care and production in tamarins

Infant care and production in Tamarins: An Introduction Parenting patterns vary extensively both amongst human and primates. Cooperative care is rather unusual in the primates, however; it is found mainly in tamarins (Saguinus oedipus), the small monkeys. This report delves into infant care and production in tamarins, in a social system, explaining the methods they maintain their relationships in a cooperative care.

When offered an option for caretaking of mother or the father, infants generally prefer the father, who offer more care. Hence, in biparental and cooperative breeding groups, the infants do not create a major fondness to the mother or ...

Introduction

This research will use the coverage that the televisions and other audiovisual devices had to analyze the 2012 presidential elections. In essence, the United States of America’s election in the year 2012 was the 57th presidential elections in the history of the nation. The contestants included the Democrat’s Barack Obama, with Joe Biden as his running mate and Republican’s Mitt Romney, with Paul Ryan being his running mate. The election was closely contested and for the first time, it became difficult to predict the course of the results. Both candidates seemed strong and were backed by strong running ...

If somebody had asked me what makes a film successful, I would have been not able to answer at once. Acting, directing, screenplay, soundtrack, costumes, settings, camera operating, and a great many of other factors are equally valuable; they all contribute to the general perception of the film by the auditory. In my essay I will focus on one element of the system – music; and I will try to discover how that magnificent tool makes a film admired. Anabel J. Cohen in his Music as a source of emotion in film states that “emotion characterizes the experience of film, as it ...

Executive Summary

Saddle point approximation implementation and derivations have typically relied on tools such as Edgeworth expansions, exponential tilting, complex integration, Hermite polynomials, and other advanced notions. Saddle point approximations are very important tools used in obtaining accurate expressions for distribution functions and densities. It has been a very valuable tool in asymptotic analysis. Since the seminal paper by Daniels (1954), several techniques of accurate approximations that rely on the saddle point approximation on one way or another have been developed. The saddle point approximations, however, derived its concept from the game theory, which involved two suspected criminals under police investigations. The ...

Shelley in Frankenstein and Goethe in The Sorrows of Young Werther wrap their stories around two characters whose mental torment and physical actions are similar to one another. Both the stories deal with characters who are struggling to find happiness in their lives in the world they live in, but they could not because of rejection. Werther was seeking to be loved, and have a family with the girl she loved. On the other hand, the creature in Frankenstein was also seeking for a companion and people to relate with and call family because he was all alone. He was seeking ...

“Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.” -Elie Wiesel, author of ‘Night’. I have this very beautiful passage from Goodreads about the definition of friendship. Contrary to romantic relationships, friendship is sharing all what you have. It is where you care for people genuinely without asking anything in return whilst love needs to be reciprocated for it to grow. Many people often confuse ‘friendship’ and ‘relationship’ as the same thing, these two worlds cannot merge as one. By definition according to Webster’s Dictionary of ...

How well the film adapts to the story

The film Away from her adapts so effectively to the story of The Bear Came over the Mountain on which it is based. It does this so well by narrating to the audience how loss of memory due to Alzheimer almost brings a marriage of close to half a century to an end (Egoyan&Polley, 2006). Judging from the title Away From Her, the audience gets a rough idea of what the story should be about. The most likely thought that crosses the mind of an audience who reads the title of the movie is that it entails two parties whereby one separates ...
