Agatha Cobourg Hodgins was a true anesthesia pioneer. She was one of courage, intelligence and determination. She wouldn’t let anything stop her from carrying out her dreams. Agatha Cobourg Hodgins was born in 1877 in Toronto, Canada where she received an early education and graduated from junior college. Not too long after graduating from junior college, Hodgins emigrated to the United States and settled in Boston, Massachusetts where she applied to the Boston City Hospital School of Nursing. Hodgins graduated from the Boston City Hospital School of Nursing in 1906, then moved to Cleveland, Ohio where she would pursue her career as a nurse working in the surgical department of Lakeside Hospital. Lakeside Hospital held many promises for
Hodgins. Here she met Chief of Surgery, George W. Crile MD, whom found many professional skills and special qualities in Hodgins. It had amazed the medical world that Crile had found an able teammate in Hodgins. He taught her extensively about the administration of anesthesia through the use of laboratory animals to become familiar with the symptoms of impending death and to learn how to recognize and treat these symptoms in order to prevent death. With her new-found skills, Hodgins served alongside Crile and others from Lakeside Hospital at American Ambulance Hospital in Paris, France during World War I, where she taught many how to administer nitrous-oxide oxygen anesthesia to patients in shock or to patients who had been gassed. After returning from France in 1915, Hodgins formalized the Lakeside Hospital School of Anesthesia, which was the nation’s first formal post-graduate program in anesthesia, open to graduate nurses who had passed their state board exams, and to qualified dentists and physicians. Hodgins served as director of the program from 1915-1933. On June 17, 1931, Hodgins gathered a group of Lakeside Hospital School of Anesthesia alumnae and held the meeting of the National Association of Nurse Anesthetists, where she was elected the first president of the AANA from 1931-1933, and was later named honorary president. She retired in 1933 after suffering a heart attack, but remained involved in the association’s activities. Hodgins died on March 25, 1945 in Chatham, Massachusetts. Agatha Cobourg Hodgins let nothing stand in her way of carrying out her dreams, and “left the world a far better place for her dynamic contributions to humanity”.

O’Hara was born in Chicago Illinois in 1913. There, she initially lived a happy life as the daughter of strict Catholic parents. She was a beautiful Irish woman with fair skin and dark eyes and hair. Dazzled by jewels and gorgeous clothing, O’Hara fell into the oldest profession. Becoming accustomed to fast money, she left home and went to San Francisco.

A little less than a year after the Fifteenth Amendment passed, Harriet Hernandes and her daughter were dragged from their homes and beaten by the Ku Klux Klan because her husband voted in the recent election. In the Court Document, Harriet Hernandes, A South Carolina Woman, Testifies Against the Ku Klux Klan, 1871 in Spartanburgh, South Carolina, on July 10, 1871, Harrier gives her testimony about what has been happening to her and her family. The audience was the congressional committee appointed to investigate into Ku Klux Klan activity, until they made the testimony public, then the audience was all who cared to read about the terrorism that was brought by the KKK.

In Brother Grimm’s “Brother Lustig”, the main character, Brother Lustig, is initially portrayed as an honest, inexperienced and stupid young man, who shares all his possessions with others. For this reason, when analyzing Brother Grimm’s tale form a Jungian psychoanalytic perspective, will become a prime example of a character experiencing individuation, for he eventually becomes a more selfish, cunning and independent person. Through meeting his archetypes, Brother Lustig goes from an honest, stupid and generous person, who shares his wealth and possessions with the less fortunate ones to a cunning, selfish and self-sufficient trickster. Brother Lustig’s burgeoning conscious is demonstrated through an analysis of his Jungian archetypes, with the shapeshifting beggar, acting as his positive shadow, and St. Peter personifying as his symbolic Self.
Another very important woman in history for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists was Alice Magaw. Her achievements opened the doors to nurse anesthetists. She paved the road for innovation and helped evolve the nurse’s role in anesthesia. Although she had many achievements, her chief accomplishment was her mastery of the open-drop inhalation anesthesia technique that used chloroform and ether as the sedative. For this great achievement she was given th...
After reconstructing and reading over the essay titled “The Enduring Appeal of Agatha Christie”, I believe that it contains everything an essay should have. This work has well-analyzed points, an interesting voice, a strong opinion and great form in every paragraph. But most of all, I consider this to be a very effective essay because of its unmistakeable structure and specific yet simple thesis and sub-theses.

Cassandra Clare is an amazing author who has created a whole universe of books my heart beats for, though I know they are not real they are real in my mind and heart. Her books are my safe haven. I have never had the honor of meeting people with as much courage, bravery, kindness, and determination in real life as the characters in her books. They fight everyday for what they care for, even when their world is wrenched upside down and side to side by grief and misery, they never waiver, because they now it wont do them or their loved ones any good to live in their own bubble closed off from the world. "You endure what is unbearable, and you bear it." Those words will forever be branded in my mind like a tattoo engraved in my being, whenever
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was first published in 1926, and is one of many of Christie’s Hercule Poirot Mystery novels. In this novel, we obtain a deeper understanding of the impact social standings has and the influence it has on how people perceive you. The mystery takes place in an era where social class was extremely divided, and it is shown throughout the novel how a character’s social class can hinder or help. Even when the characters are faced with a crime, and the person who did it is unknown, social class still plays a magnificent role in unraveling the explanation of who would have committed something as dreadful as murdering a man. The Murder of Roger

There is an introduction, three supporting paragraphs and a well written conclusion. The components are present and contain proficient grammar and spelling. Though these elements are portrayed, the writing is lacking expansion towards deeper concepts and expanded ideas.
