At the beginning of the story, the setting takes place in Prince George’s Hospital that Brian was airlifted to after surviving a car crash on his way home from swim practice. It was July 6, 2004. Brian spent many days in Room 19 at the hospital.

The short story “That Room”, written by Tobias Wolff is written all around symbolism. One of the first examples I originally noticed was how he would sometimes gaze out into the fields as an escape from the current job he was assigned to such as “shoveling shit” or “hacking weeds”. As the story goes on, the narrator finally gets what he wants, a job in the fields with the other boys. After he obtained that job, that room that they stay in is a horrible place to live, the conditions are terrible and it is one of the grimiest places possible. This one room though, is filled with symbols, enough that it changes the story in the blink of an eye.

It was precisely 0500 and I could hear the cadres yelling from outside the tent. I frantically jumped out of bed and but my combat boots on. This was just the start of Basic Expeditionary Airman Skills Training Week (B.E.A.S.T. week) in week five of Basic Military Training for the United States Air Force. B.E.A.S.T week is a deployment simulation during our basic military training course.

I would least like to suffer from a mental disorder in the 18th-century pre- reformation when the business of asylums was just that, a business. The notion of warehousing people away from public view behind closed doors seems worse than having a priest anointing and purporting to cast demons from me. I can imagine choosing trephination to the desolation of being lost in a place forsaken by society. I am torn as to which time period I would most like to be in. The period of reformation was filled with an openness to creative solutions and in a way a very holistic approach. The modern era for all it's professionalism, methodology, and pharmacology still leaves me wondering if we have moved forward at all in our view that mental illness and psychological

Mrs. Ross has her fourth grade students move their desks together into groups of 2 to do a group activity. She instructs them to pair with anyone they choose.

Mrs. Ross asks Teresa and Megan to come with her outside and instructs the class to carry on with the activity.
