I found that this inconsistency allowed the care staff to make judgments before consulting with other people who could help the Hmong through the bizarre medication regime. The professionals could have come together to understand the culture of Lia’s family, and consult more

Greenwood begins his essay by telling a compelling story about a woman who gets thrown off a horse and is left paralyzed after the incident. He grabs our attention by using Pathos effectively.

It is now clear to us to “live by faith” in a community we must be able to live by faith with other individuals and groups within our community. “Each person lives in the confidence that other persons and social institutions are reliable, trustworthy, and

The patient's function as his ‘disciples’ that follow him despite the fact that not all of them have the same level of devotion

If God was so merciful and good why would he let this happen? If God was always there and a part of their everyday life why would he allow this to happen? Why would he let the children witness their father and mother being killed right in front of their very eyes, or allow the mother’s to witness their newborn child getting thrown into a fire. All of these things made Ellie question his faith. Before all of this started when Ellie was asked why he prayed he answered, ““Why did I pray?

Mattie wanted a better life of a successful women. But then it all changed “The worst part was dragging mother from her pitiful sleep and getting her to sleep in the water.
