In Gabor Maté’s book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters With Addiction, a passage from chapter 28 stood out for me. I was intrigued with this passage because harm reduction is a topic of interest for me. I will analyze this passage using reasoning and evidence.This passage explores the definition of harm reduction by using clinical tone, images, examples, and specific dictation. This passage presents the definition of harm reduction Maté‘s reader will use to draw upon the rest of the book.

In the novel Ghost, written by Jason Reynolds, Ghost, also known as Castle Crenshaw, experiences a life of hardship. At the onset of the story, Ghost describes the terror he encountered the night his father attempted to shoot him. Consequently, consistent flashbacks of the frightful night burden him as he matures. Furthermore, with no father in Ghost's life, Caste, and his mother struggle to support themselves in society. Because the family has one source of income from Castle's mother, the two live a borderline poverty lifestyle.

There are different ghosts, and each ghost represents a different aspect of human weakness or failure. As the readers keep reading, there are more characters introduced such as the grumbling woman and artist and each character has their meaning. Each of them highlights different personalities and the reasons for their spiritual

As one older gentleman tells the history of the building and what the military did, he shared his stories with such passion and conviction. He knew that building like the back of his hand. He knew every fact about it. Yet, his lady friend (Bethany) had focused much more on the spookiness of the building. It wasn't the walking around the building, it wasn't even the broken glass or vandalized walls that makes you think twice about entering. It’s the pure feeling of eeriness, you can just feel that you are not alone. You walk in and your skin simply crawls. Bethany sat and shared stories of loud thumps she hears time to time in the night to the phantom noises throughout the town that you simply can’t ignore. She says: “one of the ghosts who occupies the Buckner Building is apparently fond of whistling, and another has a particularly heavy step”. Her gentleman friend just giggled and went back to reading the newspaper. Bethany stated "there are memories she won't even share simply because they're too scary”. As Bethany poured me another cup of coffee she whispered “mostly, though, all the ghosts are

The critics from psychanalytic perspective claim that the existence of ghosts is the governess’s hysterical delusion. The ghost is the projection of governess's own sexual hysteria, which resulted from the conflict between native romantic impulses and idealistic innocence required by Victorian society (Renner). The inexperienced governess encounters the "handsome," "bold," young gentleman with "charming ways with women" (James, 4) and she

The book which I read is called The Ghost Map, it was written by Steven Johnson. He wrote this book, because he is fascinated in science, also the London’s story from 1800s (especially 1854, etc.) interested him, and he wanted to write about it. He believes that it had very big impact on our life today. Did you ever wonder how it is to live in a country and especially city full of people, where everyone has to live in the small houses or apartments with their whole family? Did you ever experience it? If not, would you want to try it? What would you do if you lived in the place where mysterious disease is killing hundreds of thousands of people? Would you move out, or stay and let the disease kill you, or would you try to fight it?

The horror genre has held a prominent position in culture for most of history. Beginning in folklore, used as a device to scare children into good behaviors (e.g. The Grimm Brother’s Fairy Tales), horror has integrated its way into the 21st century through film, and in recent years even video games. Yearly, primarily during the fall when the leaves start to brown and the natural eerie sense of fear fills the air around Halloween, the film industry likes to fill in the holes between its major grossing seasons by filling the audience with fear. However, it was Christmas of 1973 that defined the new age of Horror, when William Friedkin released The Exorcist. According to Julia Heimerdinger of Academia’s online journal, Horror, as a whole, can

First, the ghost may be appearing at that time to make clear that his presence is real and not a figment of the imagination. In Act I, he appears when Horatio's shift begins. This might be so Horatio can see him first-hand, seeing that Horatio is the only watchman Hamlet will actually believe.

Ng stood as the Asian American viewpoint, Cisneros as the Mexican American, and Esquivel solely the Hispanic. These writers offer an alternative definition for how societies portray ghosts. Movies and novels in the Western society depict these entities as horrors and unnatural forces representing the devil and satanic worship, a few examples of the movies are: Sinister, The Conjuring, The Shining, and The Others. These three writers questioned everything. Not everyone holds the same definition of ghosts, but the most autonomic response in the Western culture, are the creatures depicted on Halloween. The ghosts that appeared in these novels are the authors way of commenting upon the conversation regarding the purpose of ghosts. Their stories have several things in common: the ghost characters in each novel (focusing on Lydia from Everything I Never Told You and the two other ghost characters from the other novels) are all female, they serve the purpose of warning, and appear almost as if they were summoned from another character(s) in distress. Each author implemented the ghosts in different ways, Cisneros used a ghost who strengthen her familial relationships after death. Ng made use of metaphorical ghosts, and Esquivel used a ghost with strained familial relationships both while living and dead to make her point stronger. Interestingly, each author kept the ghosts primarily among family

Furthermore, the governess is afraid of scaring or tainting the innocence of the children with her abnormal behavior which is evident through her fear of the ghosts corrupting them. By projecting her dangerous, evil qualities on ghosts, she convinces herself that she will be inherently better at watching the children, gaining their trust and even “saving” them (Otten 2). The governess’s method of projecting her flaws onto unseen ghosts gives her a sense of security and

Through out the short novella, 'The Turn of the Screw,' by Henry James, the governess continually has encounters with apparitions that seem to only appear to her. As Miles' behavior in school worsens so that he is prevented from returning, and as Flora becomes ill with a fever, the governess blames these ghosts for corrupting the children, Miles and Flora, and labels them as evil and manipulative forces in their lives. But why is it that these ghosts only seem to appear to the governess even when the children are present at the time of the sightings by the governess? Evidence from the short story leads the reader to believe that the ghosts are not real but are merely the evidence of the fragmenting sanity of the governess.

Situated on the outskirts of Louisville, KY sits a famous former tuberculosis hospital. Waverly Hills first became functional in July of 1910 when tuberculosis, or TB, was deadly and patients affected were isolated from the public. Because it is close to my small hometown of Carrollton, KY, Waverly is extremely well-known for its paranormal happenings. Throughout my life, I have always had a relatively strong belief in paranormal phenomenon. The idea of a paranormal encounter is often foreign until something unexplainable happens directly to you. Nearly everyone has had at least one experience where there is no rhyme or reason as to why or how it happened. My first trip to Waverly was in

Did you know that 18 percent of Americans claim that they have seen a ghost? All over the world, there have been sighting of ghosts. Because of these statistics I believe that ghost are real. More like spirits, ghost are something that can walk through walls. Ghosts are not real science proves it, common sense, even proves it because why can they throw things and still walk through walls! I believe that ghosts are not real, but spirits are.
