From the Paper
"When we were finally ready to leave, I started the engine, shifted into gear, and popped the emergency brake. It snapped, making a loud snapping sound before the handle went completely limp. Instinctively, I took my right foot off the gas to hit the brake and, of course, we stalled out. In the process, we'd also slid backwards a bit and my rear tires were less than a foot from where the steep hill dropped off into the darkness. Nobody else realized that we were in pretty serious danger and my friends - at least the three of them who were coherent - were laughing hysterically. The laughter stopped when they realized our predicament. I kept all my weight on the brake pedal and my three coherent friends helped the other two back out of the Jeep. Initially, I prepared one of my friends to sit on my lap and replace my foot on the brake with his. Then I could operate the clutch and gas pedal and he could take his foot off the brake after we were in gear. That plan changed pretty quickly after we realized that the brake pedal was too small for both of us to share it before I removed my foot, and if we tried and slipped, there was no room to stop rolling before we went right off the ledge."

From the Paper
"Currently, I am an intern at North Suffolk Mental Health Associations (NSMHA). My primary work is with individuals diagnosed with various psychotic disorders such as Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder. Additionally, many of these individuals are diagnosed with personality disorders such as BiPolar Disorder. Having reviewed Dr. Roemer's research, I am excited and intrigued to find out more. Also, my work at NSMHA has heightened my interest in the study of emotion regulation, especially considering the population I work with. Often, clients have expressed to me their concerns with continuous mood alterations and their difficulties directing their behaviors and thoughts to deal with these changes. As I have observed, many of my clients have responded well to medication; however, there is still the need for strategic methods to control new moods that develop as a result of the medication."

"Getting Counseling helped Jennifer become stable, and understand the situation. I could not believe what a difference it makes talking for just one hour in an individual's life. I strongly believe that this experience lead me into my current career as you can never judge a book by it's cover. As this man seemed to be kind , but ended up being very cruel. Being objective is something I have learned through these experiences and helps me provide better assistance to my clients. In the year 2000 I started to work as a receptionist at Western Queens Recovery Services. This agency helps people to stay sober, and learn to live without using addictive substances. Here I would see how some people changed their living style. They will tell me they were glad to be able to stop drinking, because of the therapist help. Clients would tell me that the counselor would help them boost their self-esteem. Counselors were proud of their work, and they knew that most of the time they will be able to make a difference in a client's life no matter how small that difference may be. Being part of this environment made me decide what road to follow."

Abstract
This paper explains that the driving force behind Jean-Baptiste Moliere's play "Tartuffe", about the religious hypocrite Tartuffe, is the interpersonal conflicts, which spark the sense of revenge. The paper points out that that this general theme of conflict is portrayed through the characters, who present themselves as devotes, or those characters, who claim to be religious but who are in fact religious hypocrites. The paper relates that, eventually, all of Tartuffe's machinations and hypocrisies are exposed but not before the entire family is thrown into a comedic chaos of eviction, prison and scandal.
From the Paper
"Perhaps one of the most secondary characters in the play who carries on this general theme of the corruption of the pious through conflict is Orgon's wife, Elmire. Elmire is portrayed as a truly pious individual who, unlike her husband, is not ignorant of reality. Despite the constant attempts of seduction brought on by Tartuffe, Elmire remains committed to her somewhat of a buffoon of a husband. Yet one has to wonder if Elmire herself is not the cause of the conflict that corrupted the otherwise pious house of Orgon."

Annie Dillard's "The Giant Water Bug", 2008.

Abstract
This paper explains that Annie Dillard's essay on "The Giant Water Bug" begins as an example of nonfiction, meditative nature writing and ends with a murder---of the frog. The author points out that,to convey a sense of meandering in her thoughts and her walking path while she watches the frog, Dillard uses long sentences and often repeats words, particularly adjectives. The paper relates that the injection of biological language suggests a sharp change in narrative tone and a reminder of the scientific aspects of nature and natural survival.
From the Paper
"Nature's real ugliness injects itself into the homespun narratives about frogs. A lower life form begins to devour a higher life form. The giant water bug that the author had only read about and appreciated in an academic sense rears its ugly head. She knows it "eats insects, tadpoles, fish, and frogs." But suddenly its presence injects drama into the descriptive passage. Now the fear and ominous nature of the passage's description of the frog's skin, its fear, and the occasional use of biological vocabulary becomes all comes together."

Abstract
This paper explains that Charles Darwin is often called a man ahead of his time, because his theory of evolution challenged Victorian religious doctrine. However, in his book "The Voyage of the Beagle", Darwin appears to be a man of his culture and times even though he had a unique viewpoint about nature. The paper points out that Darwin's discussion of the different flora and fauna on his journeys on the 'Beagle' are extraordinarily modern in their detail and accuracy; conversely, in Darwin's chronicles about the natives, his racial attitudes show that he was a man of his time. The paper contends that Darwin views his own European civilization as inherently superior to that of civilizations in other hemispheres. The paper uses examples taken from the book to demonstrate Darwin's attitude.
From the Paper
"Likewise the natives' darker skin, which shields them against the sun, reveals them, in Darwin's eyes, as closer to nature. The fact that they speak a different language that is not of the Indo-European family like Darwin's English or Romantic (presumably, he would not look down upon them if they spoke French rather than their native tongue) likewise is unscientifically judged upon the basis that Darwin finds it unpleasant to listen to. Strikingly, even though some of these natives have already picked up a few words of English and can mimic the body language of the crew, showing what might be called a quick linguistic intelligence, Darwin sniffs that all savages are good mimics."

Abstract
This paper explains that Martin Melosi in his book "Thomas A Edison and the Modernization of America" presents Thomas Edison as one of the most prolific and famous inventors in history. The paper relates Melosi's description of Edison, who held 1,093 patents, as one who was successful as a manufacturer, a businessman and marketer of his inventions. The paper explains that the most important theme in Melosi's book is how America has changed because of Edison's inventions and his guidance, which helped create a more civilized American society. The paper concludes that Melosi underscores Edison's proactive approach, which demonstrates to the reader that reacting to things does not make good sense.
From the Paper
"Another important concept that comes from the book is that the ideas, which are presented in it, are not something that can be just understood in a night and put into use to make the world a better place, as Edison did. Many of the concepts that Melosi provides in his discussion of Edison are worth giving thought to and skimming this book would not be helpful. The book needs to be studied well and notes need to be taken throughout each chapter in order to fully comprehend what Melosi is trying to teach the reader, not so much about Edison but about the work that he did and the importance of making society better for all individuals involved."
