Ghosts, in the monograph written by David Jones, are described by Sanapia, the Comanche medicine woman, as beings that “get jealous because [humans] are living and [they have] died” (Jones 66). The Comanche cultural connotation of ghosts is one that characterizes ghosts as either mischievous, or pernicious entities. Therefore, ghost sickness, as described by Jones, occurs when a ghost(s) comes into contact with a human being(s) and because of its malevolent/ jealous nature uses its supernatural ability to “[cause] contortions of the facial muscles and in some instances [paralyze the] hands and arms” (Jones 66). In essence, the ghost(s) harm the human being(s), and ghost sickness is the physical manifestation in the human being of that ghost-to-human interaction. It would be more accurate to say, that ghost sickness manifests itself in the human being after the human being has come into contact with the ghost and has failed to exert courage, or to, as detailed by Sanapia, “turn around and… show it [that they weren’t] afraid of it” (Jones 67).
Someone would be diagnosed with PTSD if they respond to the traumatic event with many different symptoms and that the symptoms have affected the person's life in some shape or form. “To receive a diagnosis of PTSD, you only need a certain number of symptoms from each cluster. Additional requirements for the diagnosis also need to be assessed, such as how the person initially responded to the traumatic event, how long the symptoms have been experienced, and the extent with which those symptoms interfere with a person's life” (Tull). This explains that for someone to be diagnosed with PTSD, someone must be having symptoms from a past event that interfere with a person’s life, which have lasted for more than a month. Holden has experienced these symptoms since the time he knocked out all the windows in garage, the day Allie died.

What makes Romanticism so important is how strongly it has impacted American literature. Because of Romanticism, writers were able to explore supernatural and gothic themes - writing that was not very common before. Having unlimited creativity, emotions, spontaneousness, and being oneself is what made Romanticism appealing to writers. Romantics were able to throw away reason and had freedom to write any way they wanted. Some romantic writers like Hawthorne and Poe chose to explore the deeper and darker parts of the human mind through stories like The Minister’s Black Veil by Nathaniel Hawthorne and The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe.

Watching oneself teach is a unique experience. While teaching I am unaware of my vocal tone, nervous habits, and rends of questioning or information transmission. However, when my lesson is put on tape, every moment is preserved in all their glory or infamy. During my first student teaching placement, I recorded myself teaching on the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. This tape revealed positive teaching strategies and room for improvement.

Individuals with PTSD have an elevated prevalence of risk factors that are associated with increased violence, such as substance misuse and comorbid psychiatric disorders.
