Noah Haynes Swayne was born December 7,1804 and he passed away on June 8,1884. Swayne was born in Frederick County, Virginia. His parents were staunch Quakers, and Swayne's strong antislavery views may have been shaped by Quaker hostility to the practice. When Swayne's instructor passed away, his plans to become a physician had changed. Then he had turned to the study of law and was admitted to the bar before his 21st birthday. Choosing not to practice in Virginia, however, he moved in 1823 across the river to Ohio, a free state. There his vigorous antislavery views may have contributed to the rapid growth of his legal practice.

Throughout the book, Forward emphasizes how adults exhibit observational learning, learned helplessness, attribution theory, and displacement of feelings as a result of abuse during their childhood.

I came home one day to see both of my parents sad. As a third grader, I didn’t completely understand at the time, but my father had been laid off from the job he’d had since his teenage years. My father had started at the age of eighteen as a student worker at Southern Miss, and after years of hard work he had been promoted to the manager of shipping and receiving on campus. When the recession struck, the need to save money resulted in his position being terminated. My father was without a job. My father loved that job and when he lost it, he changed. He found a new love, alcohol. He let his love for alcohol become an addiction. He would do anything for alcohol; he even had secret stashes when my mom had removed all the prior alcohol from the house. Quickly my father became a violent drunk and began to routinely beat my mother and me. He became unstoppable; no person could get him back on track so my mother, in an attempt to keep me safe, removed him from the house. Even my mother’s best efforts weren’t always enough, as my father constantly broke into our house. One day my mother and I came home and my father was waiting in our den with a gun. We walked in, he pointed the gun at us, and then back at himself. He couldn’t decide to kill my mother, himself, or just all of us. He had more hatred in his eyes

With a close examination of Elizabeth Bowen’s suspenseful short story, “The Demon Lover,” I notice a much more frightening element present in the narrative than what appears to be the supernatural as this British author highlights her central notion that those who endure abusive relationships, sustain psychologically scars that may never go away.

Hello, my name is Dee and I am a survivor of domestic abuse. A good friend asked me if I would write a piece about domestic abuse. He said it would be therapeutic for me and beneficial for other women who have been abused or are being abused, and I think he is right. So here I sit wondering where to begin, after about an hour of emotional flashbacks. And when I do think about this I wonder how on earth could I have let it go on, and for as long as it did. And more-so, what did I ever do to deserve it. I was never abused as a child. Never beaten or abused emotionally or mentally, never called names, or cursed at, and I suppose I grew up thinking this was how it was for everyone. I was only 19 when I met my abuser. I already had a son, and had been out on my own for 2 years. Life was hard, bringing up a baby, surviving on living assistance, living in ghetto like neighborhoods. I had always aspired to be a journalist, but my dreams were broken when I became pregnant right out of high school and was forced out of the house to care for my son. I met my abuser one day when I was down town shopping with my son. He came into my life like a "wolf in sheep 's clothing", and was just about as nice as he could be. I suppose I was somewhat lonely since I never got to go out very often. He soon moved in with me and helped me with my son, helped in the house, and helped financially so things were definitely looking up. Or so I thought. He was from an abusive home himself, and years

Traumatic and challenging experiences such as rape and abuse have a monumental impact upon an individual’s sense of identity throughout their lifetime. The horrific exploitation of

In the beginning of reading the given essay “the ‘Communist Manifesto,’ 150 years later” one can easily mistake the abstract as the opening paragraph. If one was to mistake it for the opening paragraph it makes perfect sense for the thesis, but the actual opening paragraph is only a couple sentences and possibly one of longest sentences that one has ever seen. The opening paragraph does contain a thesis statement, but it is jumbled. It states that if Marx and Engels would have been exposed to information that was published later that they would have revised their claims.

“Smack” is the sound I heard as my father’s hand went across my mother’s face while I was eating my breakfast at the kitchen table. My parents often argued but this was the first time I witnessed my father hit my mother. I was in the fourth grade. My mother grabbed my hand and we ran out of the house and down the street. I had no time to digest what just happen. I was a scared little girl, standing on the street corner holding my mother’s hand waiting for her friend to pick us up. We stayed at my mother’s friend house and went back home later that evening. I didn’t understand why my mother dropped the charges of domestic abuse against my father. My parents never spoke to me about what had happened, and, unfortunately, this was only the beginning.

Domestic violence evokes a swarm of varied and biting thoughts and memories whirling throughout my mind bisecting neural pathways crippling my ability to think clearly. This narrative presents snippets of my life beginning October of last year. After six years being the Production Stage Manager of the national touring company of Disney's "The Lion King," my partner, at that time, received an email on his fiftieth birthday from the head office requesting to speak to him immediately. Believing the call concerned a cast member, left him exposed when the purpose of that conversation cracked his psychological foundation. During that call, the Head of Human Resources and a representative from the legal division informed him that the office received

Edgar Allen Poe is very effective at spooking readers and making them feel a sense of mystery with very vague stories. “The Fall of the House of Usher’s” setting , characters, and theme all make the story what it is. The Fall of the House of Usher uses gothic elements to create an uncomfortable and spooky setting. The House of Usher’s appearance inside and outside uses gothic elements to attribute to the feel of the story.

On Monday, November 16, 2015 around 3:30pm I got to interview my mentor Ken Diffenderfer the Lab Manager of the Stem Cell Core. I have been interning at the Salk Institute for five months so this was not a scary task to do however it didn’t turn out like a normal interview. We started off facing each other and talking in the entrance of the lab. However we quickly moved to the hoods where we could work on our cell culture and talk. From question two on our conversation flowed from topic to topic seamlessly as we worked on our experiments.

The abuse is usually frequent enough that the victim internalizes it. This leaves the victim feeling fearful, insignificant, untrusting, emotionally needy, and unlovable. Survivors of this form of abuse have a hard time understanding why they feel so bad (Munro, K. 2001.).

For as long as I remember I my father’s parents treated my mother like trash. They always felt that my father married beneath his social class. So because we moved so close to them the disrespect they dished out to mother became a daily ritual. I now realize that the stress of this problem led to my parents yelling, fighting and violent behaviors that ruled our house. I was only five so this is the first house that I really remember from my childhood. The strongest memories I have from that time is the way my sister would grab me and run with me to the next door neighbor’s house when my parents would start their yelling and hurting each other. The neighbor man was a police office in our town and he would take us into his house, clam us down and then go over to stop my parents from beating each other up. No one ever pressed charges; my dad never left the house. My mother would laugh it off it was like they were trapped in a vicious cycle that could not be broken. Later we would go home and pretend that everything was ok even though every dish in the house was laying shatter and broken on the floor. Society told us it was ok, because this kind of behavior was going on all around us and no one said it was wrong or bad it was just the way things were. When I married the first time I found myself in the same cycle of domestic violence that I had witnessed my whole childhood. But I did not leave or ask for help because I

Domestic violence is a very important social problem that we must educate ourselves on because it has such a profound and negative effect on the individual(s) being abused. They are affected mentally, emotionally, physically, and I know from experience that the scars can run very deep. Being in an abusive relationship for three years was devastating to my self-image as a teenager, and because of these feelings of inadequacy, my decreasing esteem allowed me to stay in such a dangerous scenario. Healing from the negative effects of that relationship has been a difficult journey for me, and I can only imagine how much more difficult it must be for women abused for years on end. To this day, I struggle greatly with the ability to let go of my own "control"

It was a bone chilling January night; my mom received a call at about 11:15 PM, a call that changed my life forever. My Aunt June was on the other line. She was crying so hard my mother could barely understand her. Through the sobbing my mom finally understood that Brian, my cousin, had been in a horrible accident and she didn’t know how bad it was. My mother jumped out of the bed after she hung up the phone. She screamed up the stairs at my sister and me; it was a nerve shrilling scream. I could hear fear in her voice. My mom was always yelling at us growing up if we forgot to do something. She would even get us out of bed to finish something that wasn’t done completely. This particular
