Explore the ways in which Isobel Dixon and Mervyn Morris express their personal feelings in their poetry Explore the ways in which Isobel Dixon and Mervyn Morris express their personal feelings in their poetry Little Boy Crying by Mervyn Morris and Plenty by Isobel Dixon both explore the vivid childhood memories and experiences of the poets. In Little Boy Crying, a father deals with the troubles of raising a and disciplining a child; whereas in Plenty, Dixon describes her youth when she and her sisters could not afford the things they so greedily stole behind their mothers back; finally comparing it to her prosperous present. I will explore how the poets use imagery and language, voice and tone, and structure and form to create effects and convey their experiences. Little Boy Crying is based on a fathers true story revealing the how he once treated his son. It depicts the themes of sadness, remorse, and love. Morris describes his battle with fighting the regret he feels for slapping his son because he loves him so much, longs to lift you, curb your sadness. This is perhaps to depict the contrast between the two emotions and the danger of what happens when they collide. At first, the reader empathizes with the boy, however, as the poem progresses and the fathers situation is understood, the reader begins to empathize for him as well. Plenty, is based on Dixons chaotic youth with her sisters. It explores the themes of chaos, restriction, and realization. Dixon writes about her memories of the past, often referring to her mothers anger over the chaos she and her sisters create by ignoring the mothers restrictions, her lips anchored down not knowing then it was a clasp to keep us all from chaos. This shows that as you get older, you realize the importance of order and begin appreciating your parents hard labor. Mervyn Morris use of powerful language helps the reader relate to the situation described. The title, Little Boy Crying, already provokes a sad image of what is forthcoming in the poem, creating an instantaneous dramatic effect on the reader. In the first stanza, Morris expresses the changes which his son undertook since the slap, mouth contorting, laughter metamorphosed, and frame so recently relaxed now tight. The word metamorphosed, exemplifies the rapidity of the change of the boys facial expression, creating a more powerful image of the emotions the boy is feeling. These changes quickly introduce the reader to the circumstances. Powerful imagery of water is seen in the phrase swimming tears, splashing your bare feet, where sibilance and personification of the tears have been used to invoke a more dramatic sense of the boys misery. The phrase quick slap stuck, creates a more sped up and violent interpretation of the happenings; and the use of onomatopoeia in slap, creates a more graphic scene. Overall in the first stanza of Little Boy Crying, many sad and angry words are used to create a depressed mood: Howls, frame tight, frustration, swimming tears, and guilt or sorrow. Such powerful phrases are used to invoke a more immediate effect of grief and a relation to the situation by the reader. The reader becomes more compassionate and understanding of the characters. In the second stanza the father imagines himself in the sons position, alluding to the fairytale Jack and the Bean stalk, evoking powerful imagery of hatred as well, The ogre, grim giant, colossal cruel, Chopped clean the tree [the fathers] scrambling down. The use of alliteration of g in grim giant and c in colossal cruel, places emphasis on the phrases to describe the pure hatred the father thinks the boy must feel against him, signifying that he knows he is being mean and understands his decisions were harsh. The reference to a well-known fairytale increases the readers ability to relate to the situation and creates a more vivid scenario. In the third stanza, the line You cannot understand, not yet demonstrates that the child does not acknowledge the fact that his father is teaching him a lesson. The father seems very guilt struck and at fault that he had to take such measures to teach a lesson, The hurt your easy tears can scald him with. The boy does not realize the pain his display of sadness causes his father, who obviously takes no pleasure in making his son cry. The father seems to regret his actions however stays firm to teach the lesson, Longs to lift you, curb your sadness. The alliteration of l emphasizes the longing however the father stays strong to ensure his son is raised with the correct values. The last stanza implies the little boy has been playing in the rain, you must not make a plaything of the rain. This line has several meanings such as the immorality of trying to get sympathy by crying. On another level, it could be the father instructing himself to take his lessons more seriously and his need stay firm to show discipline. Isobel Dixon also uses powerful imagery and language to convey her messages. The title itself contrasts with nearly the entirety of the poem as poverty has placed them far away from Plenty. Isobel Dixon creates an intense mood using vivid description early on in the poem. In the first stanza the reader is introduced to Dixons memory of an enamel tub, age-stained and pocked upon its griffin claws, never full. Such an image conveys the impression that that the family cannot afford proper equipment such as a bathtub and is unable to fill it with water as it is too costly and in short supply. Water is recognized as a representation of their deprivation from basic necessities in the ongoing expanse of drought where dams leaked dry and windmills stalled. The alliteration of d in the phrase drought where dams leaked dry, enhances the effectiveness of the image created by making them more prominent in the description. The stalled windmills are subsequently compared with the mothers smile, Like mommys smile. This infers that her smile has stalled. Dixon uses metaphors to describe her mothers frown, a clasp to keep us all from chaos. The metaphor is used to create a more vivid image of the mothers efforts to keep the family together. Additionally, the onomatopoeia of the word clasp creates a more powerful picture. Many cases of sibilance are found in the phrase she saw it always, snapping locks and straps, the spilling: sums and worries, shopping lists The ongoing repetition of the consonant s creates an almost explosive ringing. The poet uses contradictory phrases to exaggerate their meaning in the oxymoron, each month was weeks too long. A month is always an exact number of weeks long; however Dixon implies that they never had enough money to cover an entire months worth of spending. In the penultimate stanza, when describing the present, Dixon uses enjambment in the line waters plentiful, to excess, almost, here./ This creates a slower progression in the poem and exemplifies how she is disregarding all her previous worries about taking another precious of water. Little Boy Crying, is written from the voice of the father; however it changes perspective several times. In the first stanza, the father is observing the reaction of his son. In the second stanza, the father attempts to view the situation from his sons point of view. In the third stanza a third-person view responds to the happenings, explaining the fathers feelings. In contrast, Plenty, is written entirely from Dixons point of view. She writes in a voice which seems apologetic because of all the disorder she now recognizes she caused, not knowing then, and we thought her mean. Later, she compares it to the present, where bubbles lap my chin. Even though she is grateful for the present luxury in her life, she misses her childhood, miss my scattered sisters. In Little Boy Crying, Morris uses long sentences with small amounts of punctuation to create tension and make the reader keep reading. The first stanza is composed of seven lines, however only one sentence. The stanza length is a little beyond average, and the last stanza ends abruptly as it consists only of one line. Ending a poem with one line creates force and stress to the line, making the reader consider it more. The use of enjambment establishes a greater emphasis on the word previous to it, such as howls, frustration, and tears. This is done to put pressure on specific words, empowering their meaning and adding importance to their effect. They become more noticeable than the rest of the words In Plenty, Dixon uses normal length sentences and stanzas, which contradicts the chaos depicted in the poem. She does not use very much enjambment, creating an ongoing flow of reading. Her use of punctuation varies greatly as in the fourth stanza; three full-stops are used. On the other hand, in the fifth and sixth stanzas, altogether only one full-stop is used. This creates tension when its needed and adds a story-like effect. Little Boy Crying, by Mervyn Morris and Plenty, by Isobel Dixon both delve into the moving childhood experiences they have. In Little Boy Crying, a father resists the urge to apologize to his son for disciplining him; whereas in Plenty, Dixon describes her chaotic youth with her sisters; finally comparing it to her present. Little Boy Crying explores the themes of sadness, discipline, and regret. Plenty, explores the themes of chaos, restriction, and realization. Both poems have their underlying messages such as in plenty, where patience helps us all deal with many of lifes everyday problems. In Little Boy Crying, one learns the difficulty of punishing a child even though it is for the greater good of them.

Both characters go on a journey that changes there life forever, the characters quests have many similar stages to the journey.Both begin there quest with a call to adventure, neither characters are expecting it but both seem eager to go. Both characters battle between good and evil and both characters become masters of two worlds, and achieve apotheosis or god like status and then have the freedom to live. Both heroes are called to the adventure in many different ways, Frodo Baggins is called to adventure during his uncles 111th birthday party when his uncle Bilbo disappears. Bilbo left a gold ring for Frodo so Frodo speaks to the wizard Gandalf who says to keep it safe and not to put it on.Years later the wise wizard Gandalf returns to tell Frodo the ring is extremely dangerous and was forged by the dark lord, Sauron and must be destroyed, that is when his journey began and Frodo begins his journey heading towards Rivendell to talk to the elves about how to destroy it.

Saruman, the evil wizard tries to make Frodo change from good to evil but did not succeed. In Haroun's story the evil that he fights is someone named Khattam-Shud, Khattam-Shud is polluting or poisoning the stories so they can not be told. Rashid and Haroun travel to the Land of Gup to try and figure out what is going on. They get there and the entire land is preparing for war, the guppies Vs the Chupwalas.The war ends with the victory of the Guppies and they reward Haroun with granting his wish that his father can tell stories again.

Growth Performance Of Boiled Diets A Study - 887 Words

In this study, overall growth performance was not affected by diets supplemented with different sources of L-Lys. Similarly with results from another study in different species. Emmert et al. (1999) reported that growth performance of broiler fed diets with supplemental liquid L-Lys did not difference when compared with diets supplemented with L-lysine HCl. In addition, other studies suggested that forms of supplemental L-lysine did not affect growth performance and nitrogen retention in newly weaned pigs. Moreover, alternative source of L-lysine such as L-lysine sulfate had equal relative bioavailability when compared to standard L-lysine HCl. (Smiricky-Tjardes et al., 2004; Liu et al., 2007; Ju et al., 2008). For the intestinal protein†¦show more content†¦Therefore, several factors such as protein contents in diets and also forms of supplemental L-Lys which are difference in terms of absorption rate could potentially show differences of dietary lysine utilization and intestinal mucosal protein synthesis. In this study, pigs fed diets with supplemental liquid L-Lys shown reduction of proliferation in jejunal crypt and lower concentration of TNF-ÃŽ ± in jejunum compared with pigs fed diets with supplemental crystalline L-Lys HCl. Villi atrophy and crypt undergo hyperplasia commonly found in the newly weaned pigs due to several stressors. When the villi are digressed, the cells associated with the crypts attempt to rebuild the villi. This is appropriate because the cells residing on the periphery of the villi originate from the crypt (Kitt et al., 2001). Nevertheless, healthy weaned pigs or germ-free pigs usually have lower proliferation rate, whereas, infected pigs have large numbers of Ki-67 positive cells and high proliferation of intestinal crypts due to the process to improve the intestinal epithelium cells (Jung et al., 2015). In the situation that pigs experience significant physiological, environmental, and social challenges when they are weaned from their sows. This incidence predispose these pigs to subsequent infectious diseases and other production losses (Campbell et al., 2013).

Essay on Princes and Paupers - 1400 Words

Princes and Paupers Year by year the world becomes more sharply divided by two. On the one hand, there are the advanced, industrial, developed, with mature economics. And then there are the rest--developing, less developed, underdeveloped, undeveloped, and pre-industrial. The exact description is unimportant; for the basic division is, of course, one between the rich and the poor. What does it mean to be poor? It has always been advantageous to be born on the right side of the tracks. But the accident of birth has never had quite the significance that it holds today, for every child born to parents in the developed countries, seven are born in the underdeveloped world.

Next time you have a cup of coffee or a glass of iced tea think about where it came from and what it took to get it to you. Because of our love for beef, Westerners consume close to one ton of grain per year, and more than three-quarters of that is first transformed into animal products. It actually takes ten pounds of grain protein to produce one pound of beef protein. People in poor countries consume less than one-fifth of that amount. Westerners who are concerned about the pressure of population on the world food resources should remember that their typical family of four are consuming more grain than it would take to feed a poor Indian couple with eighteen children. One of the most absurd aspects of poverty is the massive protein consumption of household pets in the West. In the United States, eighty-five million cats and dogs consume more protein than all of Latin America. Ironically, most of the protein that the animals in the United States consume comes from Latin America. The mal-distribution of the worlds food resources is possible only because income is so inequitably distributed. The world food market matches supply with effective demand.

Patient Education Script Between RN and Mrs Carolin †Free Samples

Question: Discuss about the Patient Education Script Between RN and Mrs Carolin. Answer: Introduction Well, communication with a patient means a lot in relation to patient's recovery. The way doctors and support staff communicate with a patient can result in the quick recovery or a prolonged recovery (Colwell, Kupsick and McNichol, 2016). The content of this paper presents an ideal script between RN and the patient on post-discharge Mrs. Caroline. She has been prescribed some medication for pain (Targin). It is therefore crucial for Mrs. Caroline to know about the medication. Script Justification Good morning Mrs. Caroline, I am a registered nurse in charge of your discharge. I can see you are happy and ready to go home. I have been sent to talk to you about your medication before you go home today. According to medical scholars, introduction, and creation of rapport with a patient in a way that makes them feel comfortable talking is basic towards development of a therapeutic relationship (Colwell, Kupsick and McNichol, 2016. Thus the use of polite introduction phrase such as good morning is the first steps in moving up the therapeutic relationship ladder. Am happy to go home nurse. Mrs. Caroline, I have been sent by the pharmacist, and I would like to talk to you about the medicine, and I have your medicine here with me. This is the first part initiating communication about the medicine and setting the communication agenda. Ok, you can put them in the bag together with the other items. Mrs. Caroline, I feel that you have missed home and would like to go as soon as possible. However, the medicine is new for your, and it would be important for you to understand its purpose and how you will take them. May I sit down please I will only take a few of your minutes. Greeting and talking to the patient with empathy for the wait is an important part of the communication as it makes patients feel that you are there for her (Goldberg et al. 2018). Talking to Mrs. Caroline with empathy for taking her time is, therefore, a crucial part of her medical education. Sure you can sit down, I think I should know something about the medicines so that I can quickly recover and go back to my work, I dont want to end in the hospital again. According to adult learning principles, it is advisable to keep adults motivated and being lively during education. Thank you, Mrs. Caroline, I am going to tell you all that you need to know because I would love to see you fully recovered. Please, Mrs. Caroline, feel free to ask any question as we go through your medication. Adult learning principles outline for adults to receive relevant orientation regarding the medicine and make them aware of the medication (Lorig, 2011). It is therefore important for Mrs. Caroline to be fully aware of the given medication and have knowledge regarding her medication. Eye contact and confidence is required when providing information to the patient .as a nurse I would sit down and make eye contact with Mrs. Caroline. I will also observe body language which shows comfort and confidence as well as moving forward to Mrs. Caroline (Rajala, Kaakinen, Fordell and Kriinen, 2017.). Adult learning also requires a supportive environment for the patient thus a supportive environment is crucial for Mrs. Caroline. This can be done by providing Mrs. Caroline with time to ask questions as well as encourage her to do so. Mrs. Carline, I hope you can see the package of the medicine, please take a keen observation. This medicine is Targin; it is equivalent to oxycodone hydrochloride and so powerful for your pain management. As indicated on the sachet, you will be taking this medicine only twice a day meaning one dose of 10mg of oxycodone hydrochloride after an interval of 12hours a day. According to your Pt. report you were informed about pain management by the doctor who was taking your care. Mrs. Caroline, do you remember what the doctor talked to you about yesterday? It is important to ensure that the patient has a clear observation of the medicine package as well as the instruction regarding the prescribed medicine. Moving closer to the patient is crucial as it helps Mrs. Caroline to observe the package. Yes, the doctor told me various actions to take while in pain at home as well as what should not do like nor lifting heavy objects. According to adult learning principles, adult patients like Mrs. Caroline should be allowed with an opportunity to build on the knowledge they already have thus asking Mrs. Caroline question is crucial and gives an opportunity for her to build on already existing knowledge (Marrocco, Kazer, and Neal-Boylan, 2014). That is nice Mrs. Caroline if you remember that the doctor had said. When taking your medication as instructed, you will have to take it with a lot of water. You need to take the tabled with at least 125 ml clean water. This is because the oxycodone may course side effect related to constipation as a result of narcotic analgesics. Mrs. Caroline must be provided with clear information about the side effects of Targin. To understand the side effects, I included various learning preferences (Redman,2007). A clear understanding of the side effects is crucial so that Mrs. Caroline can be able to report complications. In case of constipation, how should I manage the effect? Thank you, Mrs. Caroline, that is a very nice question. To manage constipation will drink a little porridge and more of clear fluids. You also need to take food with fiber such as brown bread and fruits like apple. Do you have any other question, Mrs. Caroline? Nice comments when the question is asked by the patient is crucial and encourage them to ask for more clarification. No am okay now a nurse. Well Mrs. Caroline if you there are no more questions. I would now make sure that you know how you will take your pain medicine, would you please tell what you are going to do? This is almost the last point, and I will employ teach-back techniques to make sure that Mrs. Caroline is aware of what I have explained to her regarding the medicine. I will take medicine twice a day at an interval of 12hours with a lot of water to avoid constipation. Thank you Mrs. Caroline, if you have any question do not hesitate to call the doctor or the pharmacist. I have printed a document regarding the medication which you will take home. You also are expecting a stoma nurse to assist you with your recovery Using a printed document is one of the best ways to reinforce patient learning, and this justifies printing of the document. Conclusion Ideal communication helps with patient education and recovery thus should be properly observed by doctors and support staff.
