Many people often have to fight for their freedom and rights, however some succeed to achieve them and some fail to get their freedom and rights. Though, many people try hard to get their freedom and end up hurting themselves when they fails immensely. Similarly, in the story, “Escape from Spiderhead” by George Saunders a protagonist named Jeff who is talking to a person named Abnesti. Soon, there is some sort of an experiment taking place which involves Abnesti ordering and also asking questions to Jeff. This experiment also includes Abnesti adding Verbaluce to his drip, which apparently controls and configures Jeff’s emotions and feelings. As the story continues Abnesti runs the place by experimenting on many different people who all have …show more content…
As a human, Jeff should be entitled to make his own decision and should be given the freedom to know what is happening with him. However, Abnesti has snatched away the freedom and rights that each person is entitled to. At the end, Abnesti tricks, Jeff and gives him the drugs called “Docilryde™,” “Fuck it, enough,” Abnesti said. “Verlaine, what’s the name of that one?” (Saunders, 27). When Jeff refuses to obey Abnesti’s orders, Abnesti gives him the drugs so that Jeff will agree to do as Abnesti tells him to do. However, this action of Abnesti was completely wrong because Jeff was given drugs against his consent. On the other hand, Jeff feels that it is unfair to him because, “It was like all I had to do to be a killer again was sit there and wait” (Saunders, 28). Jeff was forced to do something which got him into a prison at first. Hazel Rose Markus shows that “People are understood to be independent individuals who are or at least should try to be free from the constraints of history, other people, and society. According to this way of thinking, each individual has her own private set of preferences, motives, attitudes, abilities, and goals.” Markus shows that each individual has right to think and can have his/her own ways to lead their lives. However, that is not the case with Jeff, in fact, it is completely different because Jeff is being pressurized and controlled by Abnesti. He is given drugs to think the way Abnesti wants. Taking away the freedom is still not the most suitable punishment; he is tested upon under the influence of drugs and it is certain that a man is not himself when is under such influence. One of such drug or a state is called Darkenfloxx, which causes the worst levels of animosity. Jeff was under such a pressure and distress

Chapter 22 in the novel Regeneration by Pat Barker is very significant to the development of the character Dr. W.H.R. Rivers, through the symbol of control throughout the book. In this chapter, Rivers returns to his home after witnessing Dr. Lewis Yealland’s horrific treatment of his patient Callan through the use of electrotherapy. Being displaced by the incident, Rivers finds it difficult to do any work because throughout the night recollections of the treatment continue to haunt him. After deciding to go to sleep, Rivers has a nightmare where he is treating a patient with electroshock therapy, just as Yealland did, except after attempting to shove the electrode into the patient’s mouth several times, he realizes that what he is holding is not an electrode, but a horse’s bit. Rivers awakens and reflects on this dream, noting that instead of trying to cure a patient of mutism by stimulating the patient with electroshock therapy, he was really trying to get his patient to stop speaking, and to rather become mute. The passages in chapter 22 serves to force the reader to question wether or not Rivers and Yealland are actually helping their patients, as well as to develop Dr. Rivers’s character by showing how he and Yealland are quite similar despite their differences in treatment through the exhibition of the element of control that both of these characters possess.
For example, Annette makes the comment that Benjamin was in the right to smack Henry because he was defending himself from Henry’s assault of insults to which Alan agrees with immediately. Veronica and Michaels sense of righteousness involves other people, Veronica especially believing everyone needs to uphold a standard morality. For example, the idea of bringing Benjamin over. Veronica and Michael want to make sure Benjamin understands his implications so this situation won’t happen again. Veronica worries about their children having morals while Alan and Annette don’t care much for that. When arguing about whether or not Benjamin disfigured Henry, Alan shrugs off the fact that his son just smacked another kid in the face. He instead diminishes Benjamin’s injury saying how it’ll go away and he’ll chip in on the costs of the dentist. He’s not interested in the same sense of morality that Veronica is. These contrasting views come from how Alan and Annette are able to get away with more that Veronica and Michael. For the Novaks there are consequences to their actions, while in Alan’s case with the pharmaceutical companies he gets rewarded for defending

In this book Robert Cormier does fantastic work by creating the character of Trent (the interrogator). He completely manipulates people into thinking they did things that they did not. He is able to convince Carl that he was the murderer of a little girl when he actually was not. After Trent was able to force Carl to confess Sarah stated “That's not possible...they have the killer in custody” (Cormier 148). He uses psychological manipulation by making you question your own life. His interrogation worked so well that it turned Carl insane and he ended up becoming a murderer because of it. This happens at the end of the book when Carl says “I am going to show what I can do and really do it this time instead of saying he did it when he didn’t.” (Cormier 154). This is one of the best examples of psychological manipulation because Trent is able to make people think whatever he wants them

The two disorders I have diagnosed Sara Goldfarb with and will be discussing are “severe amphetamine-induced psychotic disorder with onset during intoxication” and “minor amphetamine use disorder in a controlled environment”. The diagnosis of amphetamine use disorder is “in a controlled environment” due to the fact that Sara has been involuntarily institutionalized, and therefore has no further access to the amphetamines her ethically-challenged doctor provided (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Sara can also be diagnosed with “amphetamine intoxication” at multiple instances throughout the film; many side-effects and diagnostic criteria stimulant intoxication, such as excessive sweating, euphoria,
