Jocko, Jack, Maureen, Peeto, and Vanno are established as certain people in the beginning of the film, and Kriv Stenders, through red dog, has changed that.

Ever since Doodle was a baby, he had been deliberately trying to make himself crawl, walk, and run. If you laid him on his stomach when he was two, he had push himself right back up, turning a hot red, then a plum purple, and sooner or later he would plummet back onto the bed. “Finally (it was his third winter), and we brought him out of the front bedroom, putting him on the rug before the fireplace. For the first time he became one of us” (Hurst 345). He is showing that Doodle was not letting defeat get to him, despite others giving up on him. Even though Doodle could crawl, he still could not walk. His brother decided to help him, but not for Doodle’s sake. For his sake and his reputation. He was to abashed to be around him in public.

There are many similarities shared between the book and movie, as the plot line is almost identical. A similarity that is very important is our main character, Tris. For the most part, she stays the same throughout the movie and the book. She is portrayed as a sixteen-year old girl who does not give up. Tris is shown to never give up when she almost did not make it past the first stage of initiation. Although it was unexpected for her to make it to the next stage, she proved herself and just barely made it. Tris is also a very brave person. In the game of capture the flag, she took the risk and climbed up a very high Ferris wheel. She did this in order to see where the other team was hiding their flag. Also, in both the movie and the book,

While reading Dr. Bruce Perry’s The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, I found the case of Peter to be the most interesting. At the age of three Peter was rescued from the inhumane conditions of a Russian “baby warehouse” in which one caretaker was responsible for the wellbeing of thirty wailing newborns (Perry and Szalavitz 218). This less than ideal solution for the issue of finding appropriate childcare left Peter and hundreds of other infants deprived of human interaction. During such a crucial period of brain development, this lack of attention had serious repercussions. Luckily, Peter was adopted by extremely devoted American parents who would help pave

It is amazing, ridiculous, and sometimes scary how the brain deals with trauma. It is also ludicrous to believe that your environment and how you are treated are not always believed to strongly affect children. The first story in this book is a very moving one. I thought it interesting and appropriate that that was his first child patient.

Pollan expresses how he disagrees with the diet and states that both food and health industries are partially to blame for this. Pollan gives his opinion on the food industry, medical community and his own ideas on how to escape this diet.

I walk into a library and sit down. Looking around, I feel overwhelmed by the massive amount of volumes, editions, and anthologies resting in their respective places on the shelves around me. For a moment, I contemplate. If I start reading now and halt several years from now, I will not even come close to putting a dent in the amount of information around me. How insignificant one feels when surrounded by the unknown.

My personal reactions to the book The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, were positive and enlightening. I would describe my reactions as enlightening because the content was written in a different perspective than I originally expected. This book is a small memoir of the author’s growth and development as a psychiatrist working with children suffering from severe trauma. It is rare to find a book so informative and practical and yet inspiring to read; I’m glad this was a required piece for this course.

In the novel “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” by Mark Haddon the main character Christopher changes greatly during his adventure.
