Stefan’s Diaries: Origins Chapter 9

It's difficult for me to describe the moments that followed. I remember footfalls and shrieking and the servants praying outside their quarters. I remember staying on my knees, yelling out of horror and pity and fear. I remember Mr. Cartwright pulling me back as Mrs. Cartwright sank to her knees and keened loudly, like a wounded animal. I remember seeing the police carriage. I remember Father and Damon wringing their hands and whispering about me, allies in trying to develop the best course for my care. I tried to talk, to tell them I was fine–I was, after all, alive. But I couldn't form the words. At one point, Dr. Janes hooked his arms under my armpits and dragged me to my feet. Slowly, men I didn't know surrounded me and dragged me to the porch of the servants' quarters. There, words were mumbled, and Cordelia was called for. â€Å"I'm †¦ I'm fine,† I said finally, embarrassed that so much attention was being paid to me when Rosalyn was the one who'd been killed. â€Å"Shhh, now, Stefan,† Cordelia said, her leathery face creased with worry. She pressed her hands to my chest and muttered a prayer under her breath, then pulled a tiny vial from the voluminous folds of her skirt. She uncapped it and pressed it to my lips. â€Å"Drink,† she urged as a liquid that tasted like licorice ran down my throat. â€Å"Katherine!† I whimpered. Then I clapped my hand over my own mouth, but not before a startled expression crossed Cordelia's face. Quickly, she dosed me with more of the licorice-scented liquid. I dropped back to the hard steps of the porch, too tired to think anymore. â€Å"His brother is here somewhere,† Cordelia said, sounding as if she were speaking underwater. â€Å"Fetch him.† I heard the sound of footfalls and opened my eyes an instant later to see Damon standing above me. His face was white with shock. â€Å"Will he be okay?† Damon asked, turning to Cordelia. â€Å"I think †¦,† Dr. Janes began. â€Å"He needs rest. Quiet. A dark room,† Cordelia said authoritatively. Damon nodded. â€Å"I'm †¦ Rosalyn †¦ I should have †¦,† I began, even though I didn't know how to finish the sentence. Should have what? Should have gone looking for her far earlier, instead of spending my time kissing Katherine? Should have insisted on escorting her to the party? â€Å"Shhh,† Damon whispered, hoisting me up. I managed to stand, shakily, beside him. From out of nowhere, Father appeared and held my other arm, and I haltingly managed to step off the porch and back to the house. Revelers stood on the grass, holding each other, and Sheriff Forbes called out for the militia to search in the woods. I felt Damon guiding me through the back door of the house and up the stairs before allowing me to collapse on my bed. I fell into the cotton sheets, and then I remember nothing but darkness. The next morning, I awoke to beams of sunlight scattered on the cherrywood floorboards of my bedroom. â€Å"Good morning, brother.† Damon was sitting in the corner in the rocking chair, the one that used to belong to Great-grandfather. Our mother had rocked us in it when we were infants, singing songs to us as we went to sleep. Damon's eyes were red and bloodshot, and I wondered if he'd been sitting like that, watching me, all night. â€Å"Rosalyn's dead?† I voiced it as a question, even though the answer was obvious. â€Å"Yes.† Damon stood up, turning to the crystal pitcher on the walnut dresser. He poured water into a tumbler and held it toward me. I struggled to sit upright. â€Å"No, stay,† Damon commanded with the authority of an army officer. I'd never heard him speak like that before. I fell back against the goose-down pillows and allowed Damon to bring the glass to my lips as if I were an infant. The cool, clear liquid slipped down my throat, and once again, I thought back to last night. â€Å"Did she suffer?† I asked, a painful series of images marching through my brain. While I'd been reciting Shakespeare, Rosalyn must have been planning her grand entrance. She must have been so excited to show off her dress, to have the younger girls gape at her ring, to have the older women take her off to a corner to discuss the particulars of her wedding night. I imagined her dashing across the lawn, then hearing footsteps behind her, only to turn and see flashing white teeth glistening in the moonlight. I shuddered. Damon crossed over to the bed and put his hand on my shoulder. Suddenly the rush of terrifying images stopped. â€Å"Death usually happens in less than a second. That was the case in the war, and I'm sure it was the same for your Rosalyn.† He settled back in his chair and rubbed his temple. â€Å"They think it was a coyote. The war is bringing people east for battle, and they think the animals are following the blood trail.† â€Å"Coyotes,† I said, my voice tripping on the second syllable. I hadn't heard the word before. It was just one more example of new phrases like killed and a widower that were about to be added to my vocabulary. â€Å"Of course, there are those people, including Father, who think it was the work of demons.† Damon rolled his dark eyes. â€Å"Just what our town Damon rolled his dark eyes. â€Å"Just what our town needs. An epidemic of mass hysteria. And what kills me about that little rumor is that when people are convinced their town is under siege by some demonic force, they're not focusing on the fact that war is ripping apart our country. It's this head-in- the-sand mentality that I simply cannot understand. â€Å" I nodded, not really listening, not able to view Rosalyn's death as part of some sort of argument against the war. As Damon continued to ramble, I lay back and closed my eyes. I visualized Rosalyn's face at the moment I found her. There, in the darkness, she'd looked different. Her eyes had been large and luminescent. As though she'd seen something terrible. As though she'd suffered horribly.

Intel Capital

Intel Capital: The Berkeley Network Investment Berkeley Networks’ goal of creating an open architecture aligned with Intel’s strategic goal. Although each party did its homework to understand generally what it would give and get, the relationship seemed to carry some dissonance. Berkeley Networks desired a controlled relationship keeping Intel far from its strategic motives; Intel, on the other hand, wanted to be more involved with BN and develop a closer relationship. Intel wanted to integrate technology on the processor, and Berkeley Networks needed to retain its value and develop a relationship with Microsoft through its ties with Intel. Furthermore, Berkeley Networks provided Intel great introduction into new markets with new customers and the potential to develop a new market segment much quicker than Intel could develop on its own. At this point in the relationship between Berkeley Networks and Intel, Intel has not learned enough about Berkeley’s switch to call the investment successful. If the relationship continued, it is highly likely that Intelwould fulfill its goal of using Berkeley’s switch to promote its own products in networking equipment. Thus far, Intel has invested aggressively and been very successful with its investments. Furthermore, Intel has only invested a minimal amount in Berkeley Networks. I recommend Larson seriously consider blocking the potential There are a few other optionsI would recommend for Larson if Intel does not want to block the buyer. If the potential BN buyer would allow the relationship between BN and Intel to continue after the buyout, then Larson should simply continue with BN and reap the benefits. If Intel has a change of interest and simply wants financial rewards from Berkeley Networks, then it could buy shares of BN. Since Intel wants to further its relationship with BN, I think the best option is to pay to keep BN and maintain and grow Intel’sposition in the market.

Serial Killers Are They Born Or Made. There Are Multiple

Serial Killers: Are They Born or Made? There are multiple theories as to why or how a person can become a serial killer. A serial killer can be a person who murders at least three or more people over a long period of time (Ramsland). Are serial killers born with the need to kill or is it a result of a horrific childhood? These two concepts are associated with the nature vs. nurture theory. â€Å"People on the side of nurture are of the opinion that our environment determines who a person is and becomes† (Salvatore). Whereas, â€Å"Theories that base their understanding of human behavior on ‘nature,’ focus on characteristics that we are born with, like our genetic make-up, stable personality traits, and physical predispositions† (Salvatore). What’s†¦show more content†¦When the connectivity between these two regions is low, the process of feeling negative stimuli does not occur. This means they don’t feel embarrassed when they are caught doing something wrong because their brain simply thinks it’s okay. Although they can feel physical pain, they do not feel bad when they see other people suffer. As this brain abnormality in most cases of psychopathic criminals is not abruptly acquired, there is a good reason to think that it s grounded in the psychopath s DNA. This would be an example of how genetics can take control of their chaotic ways. According to former chief of the FBI s Elite Serial Crime Unit, John Douglas, â€Å"There are 25 to 50 active serial killers in the United States at any given moment. Today. Right now† (Moss). Those numbers may seem small since there are billions of people in the world, but just remember they are killing almost up to 100 people each. Of these 25 to 50 serial killers, there are two in specific that display an example between being born or made a killer. According to John Wayne Gacy’s Biography, he was a malicious serial killer throughout the 52 years of his life. As a child, he was abused by his father both physically and mentally.

Essay Analysis of The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost

In the Robert Frost poem ‘’The Road Not Taken’’ there is a pervasive and in many ways intrinsic sense of journey throughout. In such, the poem explores an aspect associated with human decision, or indecision, relative to the oxymoron, that choices with the least the difference should bear the most indifference, but realistically, carry the most difficulty. This is conveyed through the use of several pivotal techniques. Where the first such instance is the use of an extended metaphor, where the poem as a whole becomes a literary embodiment of something more, the journey of life. The second technique used is the writing style of first person. Where in using this, the reader can depict a clear train of thought from the walker and understand†¦show more content†¦Wherein this is the extent of the metaphor, where in this poem it is a changeable anomaly subject to the readers interpretation of taking the road less travelled and whether it be a positive ( sigh of satisfaction) or negative (sigh of regret). This is all one can hope when using a metaphor relating to the readers life, that they substitute their own feelings and create their own meaning, their own attitude towards to such decisions and subsequently, such journeys. Furthermore, we have the use of first person, where the almost universal effect is to have an in-depth look into the character and their immediate response to a problem or dilemma. This poem no different, where in the first stanza we are ushered in with the use of anaphora in lines 2, 3 and 4 with the repetition of the word ‘’and’’. This specific use of anaphora is used to create the mindset and intelligible deduction of the traveller to the events and dilemma prescribed to him. Insofar as his immediate reaction be being presented with a choice. It shows his reaction of regret in that he is ‘’sorry he could not travel both’’ and explains what he wish he could do ‘’be two travellers’’ but also how he initiates his decision making process ‘’looked down one as far as I could’’.

Recovery Movement Analysis

The emergence of Recovery Movement is strongly associated with a treatment approach to substance addicted patients. The main scope of the recovery movement is to prove the individual’s potential for recovery and resistance to the addiction. Initially, the concept evolved from the Alcoholics Anonymous, which first recognized the preference of dependency of people (Ankerberg, 2011).Advertising We will write a custom essay sample on Recovery Movement Analysis specifically for you for only $16.05 $11/page Learn More The movement also refers to training individuals skills, advancing social skills, and developing inner potential (Davidson et al., 2011). In this respect, the Recovery Movement incorporates various fields, including sociology, psychology, philosophy, social welfare, civil rights, and political economic theory. Therefore, the concept of recovery acquires a much broader meaning and embraces various psychological, cultural, and social element s (Myers Salt, 2007). Unlike other known models of treatment, the recovery approach recognizes individual motivation as the key to modifying behavior of substance addicted patients. Therefore, the main task of the addictions counselors is to promote movement of patients through change stages. Individuals who have managed to surpass the dependency stage and recover from substance addiction can become viable addictions counselors. Both the recovered and patients striving to get rid of the dependency can establish mutually beneficial relations. Hence, the counselor encountering addiction can share valuable experience with individuals who have to confront the serious challenges. They can also provide useful information concerning problems and hardships that a person can face while struggling with substance dependence. At the same time, the patients will have much confidence and faith in an addictions counselor who has managed to cope with the disease. Moreover, he/she will serve as a r eal-to-life example of how the addiction can be overcome. Establishing strong and trustful relations, therefore, can shape a strong foundation for further cooperation.Advertising Looking for essay on social sciences? Let's see if we can help you! Get your first paper with 15% OFF Learn More With regard to the above-presented analysis of the Recovery Movement, Minnesota Model of Treatment derives from the basic philosophical foundation of the recovery approach. The model particularly relates to considering substance abuse as mental, spiritual, and physical illness and relies on the Twelve Steps outlining spiritual solutions and developing the concept of fellowship within which the recovery approaches are introduced. Unlike Minnesota Model, other models are too narrow-focused and rely heavily on using one specific approach in dealing with substance dependency. Thus, there are biological, biomedical, and cognitive behavior models that focus on different psychological and social dimensions of therapy for addicts. Second, not all therapies refer to person-oriented techniques while dealing with patients, which can prevent the health care professionals and addiction counselors from introducing relevant stages for recovery. As it has been mentioned previously, the Recovery Movement has derived from Alcoholic Anonymous, which is also known as AA meetings. However, the precursor of the movement was the emergence of psychiatric studies in the field of substance dependency. In particular, psychological problems rather than physical were the major reason for the addiction. Further development of AA meetings gave access to the development of Narcotics Anonymous (NA), and Cocaine Anonymous (CA) as essential meetings for establishing trustful relations among the participants of the meeting (Davidson et al., 2011). The development of such Twelve-Step groups has considerably promoted treatment and provided new directions for addiction counselors. The progress of t he organized memberships has further given rise to the development of other related communities. The communities ensured support for addicted individuals and provided them with insights for recovery from substance dependency. References Ankerberg, J. (2011).
