Analyzing Breast Cancer Poem

A Yearly Testby Dave HarmSaturday, October 22, 2005 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Author Tracker
October is almost over and I needed to write something about this month being "breast cancer awareness month." Six years ago my wife decided that it was time to get into having yearly mammograms. Year one went by and everything was fine. Year two... showed... cancer. It's hard being a man and preaching about mammograms. So all I can say is that a mammogram saved my wife's life. Please also click on the link below, to help those who can't afford a mammogram. The sponsors of this site will donate money everytime the mammogram button is click... so please do it...
It would become a yearly test in a cool room she exposed her breast results the doctor would see made it worthwhile she was cancer free she dreaded her mammogram day but appointments always set she couldn’t stay away wasn’t a fear of death she’d hope we’d see done out of love for her family Things changed that one year she was presented with an unknown fear there was a mass on her left breast uncertainty created an emotional mess a biopsy would be performed memories of her past were reborn thoughts of children’s first step’s yellowed artwork on the refrigerator she always kept Results came back cancer – her body was under attack things began to move fast surgery, chemo – radiation would be last thoughts of a future left her mind serenity and acceptance she would find patiently she waited for year five once again, the future came alive A time of life her family won’t forget they thank God for the goals she set to watch her children grow up strong waiting for grandchildren to come along to grow old with the one she said “I do” neither growing tired of saying “I love you” ©2005 Dave Harm

Framing Class

I think that we always want what we don’t have, so yes the media has a lot to do with our perception of wealth. Most people don’t have friends as rich as Paris Hilton or even know anyone that rich, so they have no idea what it is like to live that life. The media shows us exactly what it is like. They show us all the things that she buys and the places that she goes with her indispensible budget. The working-class and the middle-class buy things that are out of their means to “keep up with the Jones’.” Trends are constantly changing and unless you’re changing with them you are looked at as poor, un-cool, or both. On television shows the poor are looked at as unintelligent troublemakers, this often transfers into real life whether we want it to or not. We sometimes can’t help but to think that way because we see it and hear it all the time. The media has a huge influence on or lives whether we realize it or not.

Serving in Florida

I think that we can learn a lot from Ehrenreich’s experiment, especially as college students. I work at a restaurant part time right now, and on several occasions I have thought to myself, I could just drop out of college and work two full time jobs. My thinking is that as a part time employee, not even as a server but just a host, I make enough money to pay for my groceries, utilities, car repairs and plenty of shopping. I figure if I have enough money to do that just working part-time, imagine how much money I would have with the two full time jobs. The only set back is that I would lose the perks of being a college student whose parents pay her rent, school fees, half of her car, medical and dental insurance, car insurance and the occasional shopping trips. Also after reading this story I realize that working two jobs would be exhausting. The effect of George on this story is a little bit unclear to me. I understand that she felt bad for this young kid and that she wanted to help him out, but I don’t’ really see his relevance on her as a working woman. Another thing is that if she really cared for this kid then why would she leave her shift without even picking up her tips to help him out. Was hard labor really such a burden on this woman that she couldn’t even finish her shift especially when she knew that this was only a temporary experiment for her? Most people who are living this life are not just in a temporary situation but a permanent one. I just feel like she couldn’t even humble herself enough to stay and help George out when she expressed such a true concern for him in the beginning.
