"Yes my dear," replied Lizzie.

"Which one are you going to tell me tonight mum?" asked Kathy in

anticipation.

"How about, the one about me and your aunt Laura and the Goblin men,"

answered Lizzie

"O.K. all tucked in, how does the story start?" asked Kathy

"it starts like this………"

When your aunt Laura and I were young we would hear the Goblin Men

crying out what they had to sell like street vendors in a busy market.

Laura and me used to spy on the little Goblin men from bushes, but

when I would run away when there was any chance of them seeing us your

aunt would stay that extra few seconds. But one day she stayed that

little bit too long and got caught tin their trap; she gorged on their

fruit, but she still wanted more. But when she went back the next

evening she could not hear their cry and fell desperately ill in the

ensuing days. S...

  • The True Power of Stories

    1096 Words  | 3 Pages

    Story telling is something extremely powerful. Stories are used as an escape, a connection, or a memory. In “How To Tell A True War Story”, by veteran and author Tim O’Brien, stories were used to help keep the author sane after fighting in a brutal war. In “Selections from Reading Lolita in Tehran”, written by Azar Nafisi an author and activist, Nafisi explains how escaping reality through works of fiction helped her keep her individuality and sanity during a time of great struggle in her homeland of Iran. Opposing these two authors ideas is Martha Stout’s, a clinical psychologist, “When I Woke Up Tuesday Morning, It Was Friday”, by scientifically examining her patients experiences to explain the phenomenon of dissociation. Stout’s definition of dissociation was described in a way that it has varying levels, from slight to monumental, and how it disrupts people lives and changes their sense of self. In all three of these pieces it is clear to see that dissociation is used differently, and has different effects on each scenario. Dissociation is often linked to healing, but it is not a method of healing, it is a method of coping with tragedy. People utilize different aspects such as imagination and fiction as tools to aid their dissociation, but in the end they are still forced to come back and face the harsh reality of their lives. The true question is if dissociating helps protect or if it harms the delicate sense of self. This essay will explain how these tools, of imagination and fiction, are used to shield the person’s sense of identity, and whether dissociation is helping them or harming them.

    In Disney’s hit film, Mulan, a uncoordinated girl living in China must uphold her family’s name in becoming a bride. To do this, she must recite an admonition: an ancient writing instructing Chinese women in their responsibilities and proper mannerisms. The etiquette Mulan speaks of in the movie may seem petty and fictitious; however, such mandates for women exist historically and contain much more burdensome material than what America sees in the film. Through Pearl S. Buck’s novel, The Good Earth, a reader learns that that a woman’s world in ancient China contains more than just white face paint, lotus flowers, a couple of cheerful songs, and a cup of green tea. Buck invites the West to face a brutal environment
