Patch Adams

Epicurus believes that happiness is the ultimate goal in life. Dr. Hunter “Patch” Adams, played by Robin Williams in Patch Adams, a film about a medical student who suffers from depression, also shares that idea. Although differing in reasons, the philosophies of Dr. Patch Adams ad Epicurus coincide: happiness is obtained through simple pleasures, a life of wisdom is acquired through nonconformity, and death should not be feared.

In “Letter to Menoeceus”, Epicurus advises his audience to “[secure] health of body and tranquility of mind, seeing that this is the sum…

The movie Patch Adams is a heartwarming notion of what medicine should be. I have often wondered if the taught the humanity out of doctors. It would be nice as a patient to be treated as a whole person, not just a broken body or mind. I think Patch Adams had a great view on treating a patient as a whole being, getting the community and families to help, and also solidary. First, treating a patient as a whole person and not just an illness. It is said laughter is the best medicine. It has long…

In the movie “Patch Adams” starring Robin Williams as Hunter “Patch” Adams, was such an eye opening movie to see such as “A Death of One's Own”.

Once again, Salinger wasn’t oblivious to the meanings behind each character’s name. In fact, symbolism plays a part in the character Sybil Carpenter. “Sybil, bright with innocence but already tarnishing, symbolizes for Seymour the human condition: like the sibyls of old, she is the unconscious oracle through whom the prophecy is revealed, the instrument of truth” (Lane). A sibyl is defined as “a woman in ancient times supposed to utter the oracles and prophecies of a god” (“sibyl”). It is…

completely. “When asked who and what it was, it gave different identities. It once stated that it was the witch of a neighbor woman named Kate Batts.” She used to come out, so the people gave it a name from one of it’s identities “Kate the Bell Witch”. It seemed that Kate had two main reasons for visiting the Bell home. The main one was to kill John Bell. For what reason no one knows because Kate never gave a reason why. The other reason was to stop john’s daughter from marrying a certain boy…

I picked the Plastic Paradise: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch from all other options because I use products made of plastic daily and I wanted to learn something new. From the documentary title, I knew I would learn something new because I never heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and I did not know what to expect. One of the main ideas that I took away from the documentary was the fact that plastic is virtually impossible to destroy. In the documentary, it illustrated how the beaches…
