Martin gained popularity after a schooling Republicans at the United States committee led by the Independent Senator Bernie Sanders. The Canadian doctor was invited at the panel to represent Canada, alongside other countries like France, Denmark Taiwan, to discuss the nation’s healthcare system and what the United States could learn from it. Inevitably, one of the issues often brought up by Canadians is the long waiting periods that Capitalists like to blame on the single payer system. Martin argued that when Australia switched to a multi-payer system in the 1990’s, statistics showed that wait times in the public health

In both “The Night in Question” by Tobias Wolff and “The First Day” by Edward Jones, the authors describe characters whose lives have been transformed by the love of a close family member. However, Wolff suggests that this deep love manifests itself in a brother’s physical protection from an abusive parent, while Jones implies that it reveals itself through educational security ensured for the child by an illiterate mother’s persistence in her daughter’s school enrollment. Wolff establishes these instances of protection from abuse through flashbacks triggered by the retelling of a sermon. Jones approaches the story chronologically to prove the determination of the mother despite rejection. These two stories, both manipulate characterization
The Real Victims Sharon Olds’s narrative-driven poem “The Victims” expresses the dysfunctional family dynamic between the speaker’s father and mother. Although the poem alludes to the father committing appalling actions against his family, the speaker does not reflect well on either the mother or the father.

In the autumn of 2009, a tragedy occurred that shook not only the peaceful residents of this small town but also the entire nation. Kimberly Cates, a caring 42-year-old nurse, cherished her daily runs and found solace in gardening. Together with her husband, David, they were raising their loving 11-year-old daughter, Jaimie, in a beautiful ranch-style home in Mont Vernon. On that fateful Sunday, October 4th, 2009, the 911 emergency service received a chilling call.
“A Jury of Her Peers” and “The Day My Father Tried to Kill Us” have several similarities and differences; one of the biggest similarities is that both stories have to do with trauma. “A Jury of Her Peers’” trauma derives from the murder of Mr. Wright but the main trauma comes from gender-specific ways of seeing the world shown through the wives and their husbands. While “The Day My Father Tried to Kill Us”, the trauma derives from nightmares and an old memory. In the short story “A Jury of Her Peers,” the main characters are haunted by the violence that surrounds what happened to Mr. Wright and no one, but Mrs. Wright, knows what happened that night.
From the beginning sentence, “It’s rare to know in real time that what you are about to do will define the course of the rest of your life,” Sarah McBride piqued my attention. I am currently four pages into her book, Tomorrow Will Be Different, and I have already discovered a prominent theme of the beginning of the book, or, at the least, as much as I know of it. As the book begins, so does her progression. By the end of page one, Sarah reveals what she calls her “deepest secret.” Her secret is that she is a transgender woman.
I am evaluating a sermon by Joyce Meyer titled Moving Beyond Worry and Anxiety, and the six characteristics I chose are volume, rate, enunciation, gestures, eye contact, and facial expression. I thought it was an excellent sermon to share with my classmates since the majority of us feel anxiety during this course. Joyce Meyer has an excellent volume in this sermon even though they are many people in the audience she did not shout at them. Her rate was appropriate for this sermon she did not speak too rapidly nor did she speak slow. She spoke at a rate that was pleasant to the ears.
“What could she do?” (Soto 3). We have all at some point or another been the victim of circumstance, whether we accept it or not.

Yollie is a smart, but innocent, young woman who lives with her impoverished mother.
In “Moving On” Diane Cook creates an emotional wall in order to get through a loss. The female protagonist in the story creates a barrier that helps other people move on with their lives. In this situation the female loses her husband and is sent to an institution to be reprogrammed. When I lost both of my family pets at different times, my reaction to both of them was unalike any other. When someone loses an important person in their life they wind up with something or someone different to fill the void.
