Defining a Doctor, with a Tear, a Shrug and a Schedule
The last visit I had to my GP was a normal routine visit. My family doctor is very calm and relaxed and is never on time. He is cheerful and no ailment is too tough for him to handle. He is very practical and uses his palmtop and laptop for everything. He is also very curious and keen to learn new techniques and whenever I mention anything new that I have heard about on the internet, he promptly googles it so that he will be one of the first to know about it and possibly, use it.
The first doctor described in Zuger`s article is a man who is dressed immaculately and uses a palmtop. He works exactly the hours he is meant to - no more, no less. He does only what he is supposed to do - no lab work - no more, no less. He is ‘cheerful, serene and well-rested`. The woman doctor, on the other hand, uses a ‘large dog-eared notebook` instead of a laptop. She works long hours and has no specifically fixed hours. She does her own work, and if necessary, everybody else`s. She is ‘overtired, hyperemotional and constantly late`.
When comparing my own doctor, I would say that he had traits from both doctors mentioned above. He is similar to the male doctor because he dresses immaculately and uses a palmtop and he is cheerful serene and well-rested. However he is similar to the female doctor because he is always late, works long hours and has no specifically fixed hours and does his own work as well as everybody else`s.
Black Men and Public Space
Altering public space may be a move that is made consciously or else sub-consciously. A point in case would be if a rich white woman is out for a walk at night and turns round to see an unshaven tall black man walking behind her. Automatically this woman tends to become anxious and perceives him as a mugger. In reality the man is just a harmless student but because of the fact that the woman is wealthy (and therefore automatically thinks that people are after her money) and because the man is black and unshaven, the woman becomes apprehensive. This is something which happens every day in real life, whatever colour the person is because people who are nervous and afraid, tend to fear the worst in others.
An example of this would be when I was walking my dog behind an old lady. She stopped to cross the road at the zebra crossing and pressed the button for the lights to change. The lights changed and the old lady crossed. Looking down on the pavement, I noticed that she had dropped her purse on my side of the road. I tried to stop her walking on but she hurried on with a terrified look in her eyes even though I lifted up her purse for her to see.
Freewrite about grammar, spelling and punctuation
When reading an essay written by somebody else, nothing can be more disturbing than realising that there are specific mistakes in the essay. Whether they are grammar mistakes, spelling mistakes or even punctuation mistakes, ...
