n Baronner Reflective Assignment from Regarding Henry: Question 1 In the movie, Regarding Henry, Henry was shot in both the frontal lobe and the subclavian artery. As a result of being shot in the subclavian artery, his brain became anoxic, which is an abnormally low amount of oxygen to the brain. The bullet entering his frontal lobe and the anoxic event in his brain caused many health issues for Henry. Some of these issues include loss of speech, memory, social skills, interpersonal skills, ability to read, and behavioral & personality changes. When Henry first wakes up in the hospital, he cannot talk and has a blank stare. He has a speech therapist that helps him in the rehabilitation center, but Bradley is the first one to help him …show more content…
say his first word, which is “ritz”. Eventually, he does learn to speak again. Along with not being able to speak, Henry can’t read as well. Henry’s daughter, Rachel, is the one to help him learn how to read again. Henry also wakes up with memory loss. He cannot recall who is wife and daughter are and does not remember much about his life. He does have some memories, but they are not very vivid and cannot remember who the people are in them. The one time he mentions that he has a memory of a woman and he assumes it is his mother, but he is not sure if it is his mother because he cannot remember what she looked like. Henry loses his social and interpersonal skills as well. He does not understand the appropriate way to communicate with someone, he doesn’t pick up on humor, and he does not understand what other people mean when they talk to him sometimes. Henry also experiences behavioral and personality changes. In the beginning of the movie, Henry is very selfish, greedy, rude, and does not seem to care what others think. After the incidence, he is a completely different person. He does not want to be the greedy lawyer he once was and he wants to spend more time with his family. This movie shows that even though Henry had a lot of deficits after his injuries, he was able to overcome them and become a better person. After the incidence, Henry realizes that he was not a good person before. The incident helps to show him he was not leading to life he wanted to live and Henry decides to do something about this. He ends up quitting his job and trying really hard to make things work with his wife and daughter. Even though this is an uplifting story, I do not think this is how most brain injuries end. I think after someone experiences a brain injury, in most cases the family wants the victim to go back to the way they used to be before the injury. Henry’s physical therapists, Bradley, is a very upbeat and high-spirited guy.
Bradley really helps Henry during recovery process; however, Bradley does not always act in the most professional manner. As a physical therapist, it is important to develop relationships with our patients, but Bradley seems to act more like a friend than a physical therapists. Sometimes he will swear or make comments about different girls in front of Henry. If we were on clinical rotations and did that kind of stuff it would not be acceptable. Even when we get a job, most places would not encourage that kind of behavior. I think it is important to form good relationships with our patients like Bradley did with Henry, but I think there may be more professional ways of going about …show more content…
it. During the scene, where Henry stands and walks for the first time, Bradley does not use the best techniques when assisting Henry.
When getting Henry up, Bradley did not use a gait belt on Henry. I think with this being the first time Henry is walking and because he is a complex patient, a gait belt should be used. Plus, we are taught to always use a gait belt in comps during PT school. Also, Bradley does not use good positioning of his hands. We learned to hold on to the gait belt with one hand and a shoulder with the other hand while walking and in the movie Bradley places one of his hands on Henry’s back and the other on his stomach. It did not look like this method was supporting Henry very well when getting him up. Bradley also tells Henry to just kick his leg out when he was having trouble moving his feet in a reciprocal pattern. I do not think just telling a patient to do that would help them to understand what to do. I think most patients with a brain injury that are learning to walk for the first time may need visual, tactile, and verbal cues. However, in the movie this method did work for Henry, because after Bradley asked him to do that he started moving his feet. I think that if Bradley used his methods in a comp he would barely pass or may even fail. His methods did not seem very professional to me and appeared
sloppy. Even though I don’t think Bradley had the best techniques and methods when working with his patients, I think he did do a very good job at connecting with his patients. Henry seemed to really trust Bradley and was also very motivated by Bradley. I think Bradley was one of the main reasons Henry was able to return to some level of prior function. Bradley is a good example of how we need to motivate and encourage our patients because sometimes they need that extra push. Regarding Henry was a good way for us to visualize what a patient with a brain injury and/or an anoxic event may look like. The movie may not have portrayed it in the exact way it would appear in real life, but I think it did a decent job. It was also interesting to see how the movie portrayed a physical therapist. From being in PT school, we can pick out the techniques Bradley did not perform well. However, I think it is important to take away from this movie how compassionate and caring we need to be towards our patients.
In the final years of Henry's life he was in much pain due to swelling
depressed and could barely function. Henry's state of mind is so bad that one night when
Henry's first-person narrative is the most important element of these stories. Through it he recounts the events of his life, his experiences with others, his accomplishments and troubles. The great achievement of this narrative voice is how effortlessly it reveals Henry's limited education while simultaneously demonstrating his quick intelligence, all in an entertaining and convincing fashion. Henry introduces himself by introducing his home-town of Perkinsville, New York, whereupon his woeful g...
Patrick Henry was known as “the Orator of Liberty” and created his name with his speeches. When colonists were divided in 1775, some were hoping to work it out but not Patrick Henry. He thought the only choice was to go to war with Great Britain. Henry uses ethos, pathos, and logos to show his clause for going to war with Britain.
There are few speeches in the American history that compel us towards great acts of patriotism. Patrick Henry's speech in the Virginia Provincial Convention of 1775 is a prime example of one of these great speeches. During the debates on whether or not to compromise with Great Britain, Patrick Henry proposed the idea to his fellow members of the First Continental Congress to declare war on Great Britain. A reason why the speech was so powerful was the rhetorical strategies of the diction of slavery, the appeal to God, and the appeal to logic, that he deftly employed.
It is always said that war changes people. In the short story 'The Red Convertible', Louise Erdrich uses Henry to show how it affects people. In this case, the effects are psychological. You can clearly see a difference between his personalities from before he goes to war compared to his personalities after returns home from the war. Before the war, he is a care-free soul who just likes to have fun. After the war, he is very quiet and defensive, always watching his back as if waiting for someone to strike.
Even though Henry never expressed his fears to Tom Wilson or Jim Conklin. the audience could tell by the expressions on his face that he was scared. While he was writing a letter to his parents he wrote about how he is going to fight for the first time and he wants to make the proud. After Henry runs away from the first battle. He feels embarrassed because he didn't have a wound.
It appears that the war in Vietnam has still gotten into Henry. The war may be over in reality but in his mind it is still going on. This can explain all the agitations and discomfort he has such as not being able to sit still. Based on research, what Henry was experiencing was shellshock from the battlefield from the many soldiers being killed to t...
We learn that when Henry comes home from the war, he is suffering from PTSD. "It was at least three years before Henry came home. By then I guess the whole war was solved in the governments mind, but for him it would keep on going" (444). PTSD changes a person, and it doesn 't always stem from war. Henry came back a completely different person. He was quiet, and he was mean. He could never sit still, unless he was posted in front of the color TV. But even then, he was uneasy, "But it was the kind of stillness that you see in a rabbit when it freezes and before it will bolt"
How would life be in the United States of Great Britain? It would not be pleasant for sure, with a monarch who sits on a throne thousands of miles across the ocean that holds absolute sovereignty, while the citizens remain voiceless. Luckily, this is not the case. The way early American history unraveled was strongly influenced by Patrick Henry’s speech at the Virginia Convention. This speech was given in 1775 to the members of the convention with the aim of fighting for independence from Great Britain. Henry skillfully executes several rhetorical techniques, leading to the successful persuasion of the members of the convention.
Events of crisis tend to reveal people’s true character, as well as help those people learn from the experience. Decisions people make during crises can display what kind of personality they have. In The Red Badge Of Courage by Stephen Crane, the youthful main protagonist, Henry, decides to join the army. In the beginning of the novel, Henry exhibits multiple cowardly qualities. However, through a series of battles, Henry learns more about himself and begins to become a remarkably brave soldier. Henry’s transformation from cowardice to bravery is portrayed through Henry’s change in thoughts, actions, and dialogue.
Henry suffers from retrograde amnesia due to internal bleeding in the part of the brain that controls memory. This causes him to forget completely everything he ever learned. His entire life is forgotten and he has to basically relearn who he was, only to find he didn’t like who he was and that he didn’t want to be that person. He starts to pay more attention to his daughter and his wife and starts to spend more time with them.
In the first part of the novel, Henry is a youth that is very inexperienced. His motives were impure. He was a very selfish and self-serving character. He enters the war not for the basis of serving his country, but for the attainment of glory and prestige. Henry wants to be a hero. This represents the natural human characteristic of selfishness. Humans have a want and a need to satisfy themselves. This was Henry's main motive throughout the first part of the novel. On more than one occasion Henry is resolved to that natural selfishness of human beings. After Henry realizes that the attainment of glory and heroism has a price on it. That price is by wounds or worse yet, death. Henry then becomes self-serving in the fact that he wants to survive for himself, not the Union army. There is many a time when Henry wants to justify his natural fear of death. He is at a point where he is questioning deserting the battle; in order to justify this, he asks Jim, the tall soldier, if he would run. Jim declared that he'd thought about it. Surely, thought Henry, if his companion ran, it would be alright if he himself ran. During the battle, when Henry actually did take flight, he justified this selfish deed—selfish in the fact that it did not help his regiment hold the Rebs—by natural instinct. He proclaimed to himself that if a squirrel took flight when a rock was thrown at it, it was alright that he ran when his life was on the line.
The film uses various techniques to present a particular view of the war against France. What is that interpretation and how does the film convey it?Although the Branagh version of Shakespeare's Henry V remains very close to the text, with only a few lines left out of the film, the movie portrays a very clear and distinct message about war and Branagh's opinion on the matter. Henry V is fundamentally a play about war, and it would have been very easy for Branagh to make his version of the play into a film that glorified war. Instead, Branagh took the opportunity to make a statement about what he felt was the true essence of wars - both medieval and modern.It is clear through Henry V that Branagh thinks that wars are a waste of precious human life, and in the end are fruitless, causing more loss than gain.
Henry’s character is introduced in the movie when his cousin Mark, who is just about the same age as him, suddenly comes to stay with their family because his father had to go away on business. Mark’s mother recently passed away right in front of his eyes and he was still dealing with the repercussions of it all. Dealing with feelings of loneliness, Mark immediately developed a close bond with Henry. He found Henry to be adventurous and nice but was not aware of who Henry really was and what he was experiencing. At first, Henry seemed like a decent young boy who enjoyed experimenting with new things. On ...
