The wrist was caked in mud and dried blood, the hand drooping forward. I wanted to get a look at the cut, but I knew that once I removed the mud it would start bleeding again. As we stood there, surrounded by a crowd of adults and children of all ages, I spotted what looked like a clean rag in the sand and walked over to pick it up. All eyes followed my every step. The audience was far more intrigued by the western doctor than by the injury he was treating, Cuts they've seen before. I started wiping the wound. The boy watched carefully, still without expression, even when the plug of mud fell away in one lump and a pulse of blood spurted out. By the second pulse I could see that the cut was very deep, running straight into the wrist from the thumb side. I sued the rag for compression, placing it where the mud had been. From the liveliness of the bleeding and the dropped position of the wrist and thumb, I knew an artery and some tendons were cut. It was likely that the nerve running between them had been cut as well.
The passage above from Surviving the Extremes shows various thoughts going through Dr. Kamler's brain as he performers an everyday "mini" surgery in a new environment. Although Dr. Kamler adapts to the new location well and has a positive attitude through the surgery I feel as if he is finding the new environment a bit different, weird as well as stressful. Throughout the first few chapters Dr. Kamler shares his experiences and also his attitude and thoughts pertaining to the new environments that surround him.

The wrist was caked in mud and dried blood, the hand drooping forward. I wanted to get a look at the car, but I knew that once I removed the mud it would start bleeding again. As we stood there surrounded by a crowd of adults and children of all ages, I spotted what looked like a clean rag in the sand and walked over to pick it up.
This passage was my favorite from this week because it shows how Dr. Kamler learned to adapt in different environments. We can all connect to the situations when we are put under pressure by a live audience. Dr. Kamler describes his circumstance where he is forced to work under strict pressure of an audience trying to save a young boy in a new environment.

Doctor Anyone?
Last year in the class Biomed year two we were required to read the book called Surviving the Extremes. I wasn’t really interested in it much and we always had well over enough work to do for that class including labs and dissections. I finally decided to read the book this week as the description on the back drawled my attention.
Surviving the extremes is a true story that a doctor has written when traveling to many environments and curing different people. Some of these environments include Jungle, High seas, Desert, Underwater, High Altitude, and finally Outer Space.
In the first chapter Dr. Kamler a doctor from New York City is on an expedition with various other scientist. The doctor has accommodated on the trip to serve as the team doctor and watch over everyone’s health at the extreme conditions of weather, adaption, as well as lifestyle changes. Reading through the first few chapters I came to realize that Dr. Kamler is a doctor who is confident of his actions and can adapt to environmental changes. In addition, Dr. Kamler reacts to medical situations in different environmental areas very calmly as well as accurately. In other words in challenging locations and environments Dr. Kamler can pull of a medical procedure and treat patients. For example, as Dr. Kamler is in the Jungle a young Indian boy has cut his wrist open by mistake. Although the doctor does not have the right supplies needed nor the language needed to communicate with the young Indian boy he proceeds with the stitching and successfully reunites the boys wrist to one. The first few chapters focus on Dr. Kamler's attitude, nature, and adaption towards new environments. These new environments come to show and explore different medical options to the extremes.

True Colors
As I had wrote in my post yesterday Mr. Collin is a new character in the story bringing about a climax. The intentions of Mr. Collin were revealed in the excerpts I had read today from Pride and Prejudice.
Mr. Collin has come to the Bennet house because he has his eye on Mr. Bennet's money as well as property. In this society or time period it is important to know that property was only to be inherited by a male therefore Mr. Collin saw it appropriate to marry a daughter from the Bennet household in order to entail the Bennet property. The intentions of Mr. Collin shows how often in this time era greed was a major vice rather it be in marrying a women for her fathers property or steeling.
After being turned down by Elizabeth, Mr. Collin has no one to marry in the Bennet house hold. Weeks later a further shock reaches the Bennet house hold that the Lucas daughter has married Mr. Collin. Elizabeth is very confused of why Charlotte would do such a thing of marrying Mr. Collins. Charlotte explains to to Elizabeth that it was important for her to marry because of her financial situation. This is another difference in time era shown in the book. Often in this era women would marry at younger ages due to family financial situations as this is less likely to happen in today’s society. In Pride and Prejudice often times comparisons are shown from the time era the book was written in verses the time era and society today. The culture, family situations, and everyday lifestyles were very different as family life was much more valued in the era the book was written.

Mr. Collin the twist
Reading on in Pride and Prejudice the novel takes a different twist as well as introducing a new character who will play a role in affecting the Bennet family.
Over the weeks interactions between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet have led Mr. Darcy to notice Elizabeth Bennet. Mr. Darcy begins to fall for Elizabeth who still sees him as an arrogant, high class guy. While the love story of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth continues Jane Bennet deepens her friendship with Mr. Bingley. As their friendship continues Jane pays a visit to Mr. Bingley at his mansion. As she hikes on the way to the Bingley Mansion, Jane manages to get mud all over her dress. Reaching the Bingley mansion with a spattered dress, she is looked down upon by the snobby Miss Bingley, Mr. Bingley's sister. As Elizabeth had accompanied Jane on the trip, Miss Bingley notices that Mr. Darcy pays a lot of attention towards Elizabeth. This observation burns Miss Bingley as she looks down upon the Bennets as well as feels for Mr. Darcy.
Although Mrs. Bennet does not wish for Jane and Elizabeth to return so soon, the girls return and come to meet Mr. Collin who is visiting their household. Mr. Collin is a clergyman who has acts very different when described in the text. Mr. Collin seems to have odd intentions as he proposed to Elizabeth after knowing her for a short period of time. In this time era that Pride and Prejudice was written marriages and short proposals such as the one Mr. Collin presented were common yet the behavior of Mr. Collin around the Bennet daughters is strange. At this point in the novel I have come to find that in this time era settings and appeals to the senses are very different as well as culture. These factors play a major role in the story as well as the climax of the entrance of Mr. Collin.

Pride and Prejudice: 151 pages
“In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”
I admired this passage from Pride and Prejudice for various reasons. These sentences express Mr. Darcy's proposal of marrige to Elizabeth Bennet. These lines are significant because they symbolizes the transformation in Mr. Darcy's feelings. In the begging of the book Darcy classified Elizabeth as a women who was not "handsome enough" yet many chapters later Darcy classifies Elizabeth as "handsome enough" and asks for her hand. These lines show how charecters throughout the book learn to remove their Pride and Prejudice and love another for who they are.

Waking from Sleep

Waking from Sleep
Robert Bly
Inside the veins there are navies setting forth,
Tiny explosions at the waterlines,
And seagulls weaving in the wind of the salty blood.
It is the morning. The country has slept the whole winter.
Window seats were covered with fur skins, the yard was full
Of stiff dogs, and hands that clumsily held heavy books.
Now we wake, and rise from bed, and eat breakfast!
Shouts rise from the harbor of the blood,
Mist, and masts rising, the knock of wooden tackle in the sunlight.
Now we sing, and do tiny dances on the kitchen floor.
Our whole body is like a harbor at dawn;
We know that our master has left us for the day.

Pride and Prejudice Results in Love
As I read on in Pride and Prejudice the story began to take a different twist. I had begun to feel like I was living in this era or time period in England because the author has done a great job of describing and including imagery.
The Bennets’ neighbors are the Lucas family. The Lucas family includes Sir William Lucas, Mrs. Lucas, and their children. In the Lucas family the eldest daughter is Charlotte who is best friends with Elizabeth Bennet. Just like Mrs. Bennet, Mrs. Lucas is also a gossip queen who is in search of a suitable husband for her daughters. The morning after the ball the two gossip queens unite to discuss the actions of Mr. Darcy as well as Mr. Bingley. As the two women discuss how Mr. Bingley viewed Jane Bennet to be gorgeous of all girls at the ball. Excitement had arisen in Mrs. Bennets mind as she thought of all the benefits for her daughter, Jane. Mrs. Bennet and Mrs. Lucas approach Elizabeth on her thoughts on Mr. Darcy as they had seen the two interacting the night before. Elizabeth explains that she will never dance with Mr. Darcy after his rude behavior the night before. Together everyone agrees that Mr. Darcy is too arrogant for the town.
As time goes on Mr. Bingley expresses additional interest towards Jane Bennet each day. In attempt to break off any ties between Mr. Bingley and Jane, Mr. Bingley’s sisters often visit the Bennet family. Although, Jane is not affected by behavior of Mr. Bingley’s sisters she is not yet sure if Mr. Bingley is the one. Elizabeth and Charlotte Lucas warn Jane that if she waits to long to express her feelings for Mr. Bingley he may not stay in town waiting for her. Meanwhile the love story of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth begins as they put their pride and prejudice to the side.

Prince Charming and his low class Princess
Elizabeth Bennett and Darcy the two main characters of Pride and Prejudice fall in love yet their character roles and places in society are of wide ranges. Elizabeth Bennett the second daughter out of five, portrays many different roles as well as skills that differ from others in her family as well as others that are a part of this era. For example, Elizabeth Bennett often shows her intelligence, honesty, and cleverness. In addition, the context of Elizabeth's words have came to show numerous times that Miss Bennett has the qualities and skills to converse, although often times examples have shown that her conversing can be sharp to judge others. As Elizabeth soon falls in love with Mr. Darcy, a character who portrays many different interest, she is forced to change her life style and make adaptions.
Darcy on the other hand is a character of higher social class and has a different basis of character. Mr. Darcy is the son of a wealthy family and has been brought up in different ways than Miss Bennett. Although of different class Darcy is the match for Elizabeth because like Elizabeth he possess many admired qualities and traits. These traits include, intelligence as well as cleverness. In addition, Mr. Darcy often has the tendency to judge people too quickly, just as he had done with Elizabeth.
Although the social status of a family plays a major role in this era, Elizabeth's and Mr. Darcy, have many character traits that are similar. As they begin to fall in love they learn to make adjustments with era of society as well as social status upbringings. Mr. Darcy and Miss Elizabeth learn to put their Prejudice aside that they had both felt for each other when first meeting at the ball. In the end is it our Pride and Prejudice that leads us to a peaceful, happy, and gainful life?

Which do you mean?” and turning round, he looked for a moment at Elizabeth, till catching her eye, he withdrew his own and coldly said, “She is tolerable; but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me.”
This passage from Pride and Prejudice was significant to me while reading for many reasons. For example, this passage come to show how at the ball Darcy shows his arrogance and true charecter to the reader. This passage shows how interaction between Darcy and Elizabeth continues throughout the other aquaintances of Darcy and Elizabeth.

Self Test
After taking the self test I learned a few new things about myself which was unexpected. I came to find that my managment skills are strong as well as judging. This led me to view many interesting careers such as education, nursing, buisness, as well as managment.
Fate takes its own turns
There are many main themes that I have encountered while reading through the book Pride and Prejudice. One of the main themes is reputation, this theme being one that we all can connect to very well. In today’s society, ones reputation is highly valued as well as viewed. In fact, just within the walls of a high school reputation can be valued or weighed rather highly.
Reputation plays a key role in the book Pride and Prejudice. In this era that Pride and Prejudice takes place a women reputation is of utmost importance. In society women are expected to act certain ways and if they cross those social boundaries they are considered vulnerable or not acceptable.
An example of a women who would be considered vulnerable or ill mannered in this era is Mrs. Bennet. She acts rather snobby and approaches others with the thought that she is better than them. In addition, Mrs. Bennet can be rather annoying, obnoxious, or even pushy at other times. This behavior led others in society to view Mrs. Bennet as and underclass women.

In addition, Mrs. Bennet can be rather annoying, obnoxious, or even pushy at other times. This behavior led others in society to view Mrs. Bennet as and underclass women.
Another theme portrayed in this book is the differences among social status and class. Both reputation and social status reflect the strict nature of life for the different classes in England. Just as reputation is heavily viewed so is class the boundaries between different classes are easily drawn. Although, the Bennet family is a middle class family they still socialize with upper class families such as the Bingly's as well as Darcy’s. Middle class families did associate with upper class families but the lower class families were looked down upon. In the England society in which Pride and Prejudice are written both reputation and social class play major roles in the story. Social class leads to ones reputation in this society as well as where the fate is to lead them.
Gossip Queen Mrs. Bennet
After watching the Hindi movie Pride and Prejudice numerous times I finally decided to read the English version of Pride and Prejudice. While reading I have found many difference within the Hindi movie of Pride and Prejudice in comparison of the book.
The books starts off with the news spreading through the town of Loungbourn of a young wealthy named ,Charles Bingly's, visit to Loungbourn. In Loungbourn many families act very unreasonable in reaction to this new these families including the Bennet family. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet are the parents to their five unmarried daughters. Mrs. Bennet, is a women who often times acts foolish, over-energized, as well as a towns gossip lady. When the news arrived at the Bennet household of Mr. Bingly, Mrs. Bennet was already arranging marriage details for her daughters. Mrs. Bennet insists on seeing Mr. Bennet to meet the star of town, Charles Bingly.
After meeting with Mr. Bingly the Bennet family invites the prince to their house for dinner yet he does not attend due to his return to London. Weeks later Charles Bingly had returned to the town along with his two sisters, brother-in-law as well as his best friend, Darcy. Not much time after return the Charles Bingly and his company attend a ball in a nearby town. Coincidentally the Bennet daughters also reach the ball along with Mrs. Bennet.

At the ball Mr. Bingly dance with Jane Bennet, the eldest of the Bennet daughters. Bingly declares that Jane is the most beautiful creature he has met. As Mr. Bingly advises Darcy to dance with Elizabeth he refuses because he prefers not to dance with women who are slighted by other men. Darcy's comments discourage Elizabeth and sends a message about Darcy to other town members. In the end the Bennet ladies return home and Jane celebrates her dance with Mr. Bennet by informing her family, of course Mrs. Bennet was content!

Linda spoke up. "Do you think these two men are more victims of"----she hesitated---"KillRoy?" She said it in a hush. KillRoy. Just uttering his name chilled the room.
This week I picked these sentences because they are sentences showing the true inner emotions of Dr. Beck. In addition, the strong words in the passage come to show how Dr. Beck feels of KillRoy. As I read through these lines I felt as if the room had chilled just as Dr. Beck describes above.

Molding of the Mind
I started unblinking at the computer screen. I couldn't move. My senses were past overload. Every part of me was numb. It couldn't be. I knew that. Elizabeth hadn't fallen off a yacht and assumed drowned, her body never found. She hadn't been burned beyond recognition or any of that. Her corpse had been found in a ditch off Route 80. Battered, perhaps, but she had been positively IDed.
As my eyes gazed over the thoughts going through Dr. Beck's mind I had come to a conclusion. In the book Tell No One the author gives the reader messages of Dr. Beck's changes in physiological states. These messages are given through passages such as the one listed above it shows what Dr. Beck is thinking and how his state has changed numerous times from the beginning of the book.
After the loss of Elizabeth Dr. Beck has found it hard to live peacefully and his mind continues to wonder about different situations. Often in the book Dr. Beck's mind takes him back to the night of the incident each time he recalls something new from the night. In addition, as he begins to receive these e-mails from "Elizabeth" his mind begins to go out of control. He feels as if Elizabeth is still alive and he should go find her but he is confused because logically he knows that Elizabeth is dead because they found her body eight years before. As I read through the book I feel as if these details make the book more visual and detailed. The book will carry on to show how these e-mails and police investigations continue to mold Dr.Becks mind as well as thought process. It can take one night, one incident, or one e-mail to effect someone mind and change their life forever.

Who to tell?
What characteristics make up a monster? We often connect the word monster with an epic creature who has super powers,unreasonable behaviors, and unrealistic body features. This question came to mind as I read the description of Killroy, the monster who had killed Elizabeth along with fourteen other women. Killyroy confessed of killing fifteen women all who were dumped on the side of the road. This monster had no heart, he had taken fifteen lives away, ruined fifteen families, and he could still live with himself without guilt.
All had been branded with the letter K. Branded in the same way as a cattle. Killroy had took a metal poker, stuck it in a blazing fire, waited until the poker turned molten red with heat and then he seared each of women's skin with a sizzling hiss. Killroy had put these women through such pain he had made every sunset and sunrise left miserable for these women. After reading of this harsh treatment I could only imagine the pain, hear the screams of these women, and feel the their cold tears drop down the sides of my face. Turning the page, I began to predict the punishments that would lead up to Killyroy's death.
After committing many crimes Killroy was still given the right to be alive and breathe. As his victims rotted, Killroy in jail was given the right to breathe, to experience life, and to smile while making others suffer. Was Killroy not a monster? After reading this chapter from Tell No One I learned that a monster can be human and doesn't always have to have unrealistic traits. Anyone who has bad intentions and evil to any extent can be classified as a monster. In the end a monster has no one to tell; the author, Coben, says "Tell No One" but I say "who to tell?"
