The ideal characteristics within Sam Spade In Raymond Chandler’s essay, “The Simple Art of Murder,” he expresses his ideal hero, “If there were enough like him, the world would be a very safe place to live in, without becoming too dull to be worth living in.” With this, Sam Spade in Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon fulfills and embodies Chandler’s description of a hero and hard-boiled detective through his independence from others, toughness through opposition, and solemnity to his morals and values throughout the novel. Sam Spade’s independence is a key factor that fits Chandler’s description of the ideal hero.
The Cambridge Dictionaries Online defines sleepaway camp as “a place where children can go to stay without their parents and do activities”. As someone who never gone to sleepaway camp, I have a somewhat biased view of sleepaway camps as something that is not healthy for children, but as a writer, I have done research on sleepaway topics to see how people today in the 21st century view it. When a child goes to sleepaway camp, they have a chance to meet kids who are different from friends in their hometown, but on the other hand, they miss valuable time with their parents that they don’t get during the school year especially if at least one of the parents don’t work at a full-time job. Parents can do as much research as they want to the camp they could be sending their children to but they there
The book The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler is seen as the archetype of a Hard Boiled Fiction book. This genre describes unsentimental stories that are heavy in violence, corruption, and flippant humor. In The Big Sleep private detective Philip Marlowe is hired by the wealthy General Sternwood to stop a blackmailer while also finding the whereabouts of Rusty Reagan. Film Noir was derived from Hard Boiled Fiction with many of the same characteristics such as a femme fatale, a conflicted hero, and a variety of new characteristics like shadows and use of guns. The movie Casablanca directed by Michael Curtiz is a Film Noir and in the movie a wealthy bar owner named Rick Blaine, gets his world flipped upside down when his past lover Ilsa Lund shows

There are millions of reasons one prefers not to spend their valuable time at Yosemite. No internet, no cellular connection, treacherous drive, very limited civilization, and very unpredictable weather are few of the many excuses I have heard.

2 Sleep Deprivation in the Nursing Profession Sleep deprivation is known as a condition of not getting enough sleep that can affect the brain and cognitive functions. "It occurs when a person sleeps for fewer hours than necessary over multiple days or week" (Eanes, 2015). When we think of nurses we are reminded of people who promote the health of others. However, many are unknowingly compromising their own health by working those 12-hour shifts. Many times, its more than 12 hours when they are finally able to go home.
In the novel The Big Sleep, by Raymond Chandler, there are many conflicts between two characters that are subtle and do not feel like conflicts, but it is evident they are through his use of similes and metaphors. The scene when Carmen sneaks into Marlow’s apartment and waits for him naked is one of the better examples of these scenes when a subtext battle exists. Chandler first sets up the idea that Marlow is meant to be the knight in shining armor by echoing the earlier scene when Marlow first steps into General Sternwood’s home. The scene Marlow walks into when he enters his home is Carmen lying under his covers, her “tawny wave of hair…spread out on the pillow as if by a careful and artificial hand” (Chandler, 154).

The authors of the Golden Age shows their faith and belief in the detectives (emphatically vulnerable detectives). The detectives in these stories dominate the plot and solve the mystery case by influencing the perspective of the reader. The detectives mostly are self-conscious and Golden Age does not expect the reader to solve the crime ahead of the detective. They are decidedly unaggressive, non-god like, nondominant and do not exude ‘macho-like’ qualities of a ‘real he-man’. In the Detective Fiction, detectives fall into three broad categories; amateurs, private investigators, and the professional police.
