Howard Lobotomy

Howard should not have had a lobotomy because there was nothing wrong with him. He was no different than any other ten year old.

Had trouble connecting with children his age and as he entered school he was constantly bullied, often in front of girls.

Howard should not have gotten a lobotomy because there was nothing wrong with him, he was just being mistreated. He was punished for things he didn’t do, his step-mother picked favorites with the other kids, and he was abused by his parents. So a lobotomy was an extreme measure in his case for the things he did and didn’t do.

2. George is a small and thin man with sharp features (Steinbeck 2). He has a quick temper and a wit to match. His temper is shown early in the book on page 4 when he gets mad at Lennie for always forgetting what he’s told him. George plays the role as the caregiver in his relationship with Lennie. A conflict

Howard came from an unwealthy family background. His father was Fred Schultz and his mother was Elaine. Howard also had two siblings, one brother and one sister. The brother was named Micheal and the sister 's name was Ronnie. Howard and his family are Jews and in 1998 Howard was given an award for trying to promote a close friendship between the United States and Israel. Howard 's father had two jobs, one was being a cab driver and the other was in a factory. Howard 's father also used to be a United States Army trooper for a while. Howard 's father self-esteem was broken because of the disrespectful way he was treated in his job and the amount of money he made not making it possible for him to progress in life. His mother Elaine worked as a receptionist, and her maiden name remains unknown. Howard 's parents would work many countless hours to

His childhood was tough because his parents had to work long hours so he didn't have his parents with him all the time. George's childhood was hard on him because he didn't have a adult watching over him he also grew up in a rough neighborhood. When he was seven years old he got in trouble with drugs he also started to skip school mostly because he didn't

He is the older brother so of course he feels as if he has total dominance over his younger siblings, especially the youngest one. During the play he remains dark, violent, and abusive. At one point he even attempts to kill Boggett by strangling her. They were playing hide and seek with Da Creedy, Anther, and Phoebe and instead of hiding he went up behind Boggett strangling her. It is also mentioned that he bullied Liam all the time and gave Anther orders.

Howard the Duck is strange reading material and in a completely different category than what we read last week. I think it is really interesting as an example of the “funny animal” trope. This is when an animal (in a comic, cartoon, etc.) walks around on two legs like a human, and acts like a human, and is saddled with human problems. Usually, I associate this with silly characters meant for kids, like Goofy or Mickey Mouse. But I think the character type is much more interesting when its creator subverts these expectations and turns something as ridiculous-looking as Howard into an instrument for commentary on the human condition. This is what Steve Gerber did- and I think his success in doing so was best summarized when Professor Borenstein compared the humor within the comic to Louie C.K.’s standup and TV show. Howard the Duck is frequently depressing and troubling. Within the first issue, on the very first page, he considers suicide. In issue 12, he is institutionalized as his brain has turned to “duck’s head soup.” Reading Howard the Duck reminded me of a similar depiction of a funny animal. The show Bojack Horseman on Netflix has a similar character, a horse named Bojack, who does silly horse stuff like eat apple fritters and wear apple pajamas. But he is also deeply depressed and an alcoholic, and often incredibly self-destructive as a result. His pain is not played for laughs, as it might be on a lesser show. Instead, his terrible behavior gives the showrunners an

There are many ideas that support that George is schizophrenic. “Your mom said you her. Did you use that bat on your mom?” (Evans 280). This here is a prime example of George being crazy. If he was possessed by a demon, why would George’s mom think it was him? Why would she not realize that George didn’t come into the room until after she was getting beat? Another prime example is when George’s “friend”

pretend he was a cowboy. He was a healthy kid but he kept to himself mostly.

Performance skill wise, Howard was very intellectually intact. He had the ability to live a functional life with the exception of his OCD and anxiety interfering with his performance. His motor and praxis skills, cognitive skills, and communication skills were fine on a daily basis. It is his emotion regulation, sensory-perception skills, and social skills were the performance skills that became limited when he would get over stimulated. When he made public appearances and the lights and camera flashes would become overwhelming too overwhelming for his senses, he would freeze up and try to escape the moment. When others did not agree with his thoughts or ideas, he would become very angry and unable to regulate how he was feeling and acting.

• As a child he loved to tease and taunt his younger siblings, and he instigated some type of mean act against Rob or Cynthia on a daily basis.

Main Theme) The novel The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, has many themes that are represented throughout. However, one of the most prominent moments in the novel which relates most strongly with the themes of The Fountainhead was when Ellsworth Toohey confronts Howard Roark and says, “Mr. Roark, we’re alone here. Why don’t you tell me what you think of me?”

Due to him being overwhelmed he went on UBS and announce that he will commit suicide on national television. After hearing this horrific news you would think that drastic measures will be taken but not in the film The Network. Diana Christensen thought this was great for the television show Network to get more ratings and didn’t care about the seriousness of what Howard was telling his viewers. Howard later got his own show called the “Howard Beale Show”. His show was the most highly rated show on television.

“Look, George. Look what I done” (Steinbeck, Pg. 3). Here Steinbeck gives us the idea that Lennie looks up to George in everything he does like a child does to his parents. Lennie can’t take of himself since he is mentally handicapped so we get an idea that even though they are just friends, George is like a father figure to Lennie. Also by the word choice in the dialogue we can see that Lennie communicates in a particular way like if he just learn to speak, therefore he could be compared as a child. “I wasn’t doin’ nothing bad with it, George. Jus’ strokin’ it.” Steinbeck uses dialogue to give us an idea of George’s strong personality. “Don’t let him pull you in-but- if the son of a bitch” This quote gives us the idea that George’s personality is very strong and defensive by the explicit language which shows us anger. Also it gives us a idea that even though he is strong and aggressive he cares about what happens to Lennie. This can relate to the link that he treats him like he is his
