AN AWFUL DAY (GROUP ASSIGNMENT)

He swears angrily the light of the sun coming from the window that he left opened unconsciously last night. Whatever he does, the brightness of the sunlight affects him and forces to wake up out of large and also wide bed that smells the perspiration of his body but the time is very early. He catches a glimpse of room from the little space of his eyes. The room is nearly empty and silent deadly. However, there are some little bottle of alcohol whose taste are awful and burned cigarettes around the bed. The room is also covered with the heavy atmosphere even if there is fresh air coming from the opened window. In every step of room, it smells beverage, the food left over from last night and the socks under the bed…
He stands and starts to walk to kitchen to make a coffee which makes him feel better. While he is walking, he stops in front of the mirror looking his face and remembers her . Suddenly, he feels upset thinking how much he misses her. He wants to only her repeating her name silently like a prayer. Turning the room, he comes to kitchen and prepares the coffee unwillingly as always. He thinks again it is very early and gets angry about his unendurable headache due to so much drinking alcohol. Besides coffee, he takes an aspirin thinking that it will reduce his ache and decides to go bed for a short sleep after swallowing the pill with coffee that he made few seconds ago.
He lies down the bed, his only friend, and thinks he green eyes like a leave. His heart is hurting and he wants to cry loudly but he knows “ in vain.” Saying to himself “Now, she is somewhere maybe near another man, maybe a bed with another love” but goes on imaginating her repeatedly and desperately. In the darkness of the night, he wants to smell her wonderful hair that takes him to the beache but suddenly everyhing starts to shake. The Picture on the wall falls down and the others… There is an unbelievable noise and finally the darkness…
At this time, there is a woman with green eyes like a leave, sleeps with the photo taken with a man in a beach .However, they will never wake up out of bed and they will never know what she or he is doing at that time or whether they are thinking each other or not.The mystery will remain its silence forever…
USAGE OF NONCONVENTIONAL MEDICINE
If we ask you, what is the most important thing that you should have in the world? The general answer is mostly to be healthy; therefore people have been using many kinds of treatments for their health since the beginning of history. Beside conventional medicine, many ways that we call nonconventional or alternative medicine to cure health problems has evolved for hundreds years. According to a survey, even prehistoric men used plants for therapeutic purpose and since then nonconventional medicine in other words complementary medicine has been popular all over the world. Today there are more than a hundred different treatments in the world. The reason of that nonconventional medicine take so much interest is that people sometimes are not able to find any remedy for their health problems and they resort to alternative medicine. I think conventional medicine is not always perfect to solve the problems of patients and people should try some alternative ways to heal their sickness on condition that under the consultation and if doing that comes to us logically, trying to find any useful thing is more beneficial than sitting waiting the death.
Nonconventional medicine, also named alternative medicine, is based on the belief that includes body, soul, emotions and spirit. Alternative medicine’s aim is not limited with the treating illnesses, it also focus on improving the quality of life; therefore it shouldn’t be assessed in terms of only one side that treating the illnesses. Usage of nonconventional medicine can be extended from illness to stress with the methods of alternative medicine including acupuncture, ayurveda, hypnotherapy…There are many pleased people with the using alternative medicine that is based on traditional and natural methods. Nonconventional medicine is composed of many years experience; therefore it is trustable. For example; according to our culture when somebody has a low tension, it is advised to drink salty ayran. I have witnessed many people whose tensions turn to normal degree when they drink it. It shows that alternative medicine has a good effect on people.
All over the world, there have been many nations and culture since ancient times and nearly all of culture have nonconventional medicine systems many of which were developed before the conventional medicine. Well, when the conventional medicine did not exist, how did people cure their illnesses? I am sure that they could heal their health problems with alternative medicine. In addition, every culture has complementary medicine from eastern cultures where it is widespread to western cultures. If people didn’t see any good effect of alternative medicine, why would nearly all of culture develop and use alternative medical treatment? The most effective example is Aborigine community. As far as I remember from the book that I read some years ago about the interesting life of Aborigines, they cure their illnesses only with alternative medicine. They use herbal methods because they live out of mass community, city life and technology and also they have never chance to see a doctor even if their illness is so serious. However; Aborigines are still alive…
The people, against nonconventional medicine, support that alternative medical treatment has side effects. However; if alternative medicine is practiced skillfully, it has no side effects and also complementary medicine consists of natural substances, it doesn’t include any chemical substances. However, all over the world, there are many alternative medicine centers, but sometimes especially in U.S.A they can be quack and the product that the quack has advised might be fake and has dangerous side effects .Their aim is to gain money using the Hopelessness of patient. We should be careful and we should consult the expert in his section. In addition most people think that nonconventional medicine has less side effect than conventional medicine. People, against alternative medicine, again support that nonconventional medicine is not beneficial. They are unproven and traditional methods. However; the conventional medicine has accepted the existence of and effectiveness of nonconventional medicine methods. For example; hypnotherapy, a method of nonconventional medicine, is used now in a field of conventional medicine.
In conclusion, If we have an illness, we absolutely see a doctor because science of conventional medicine has so developed that we can also trust it but when we cannot find any solution, we can try nonconventional medicine as alternative way but carefully because one out of ten people who uses a quack’s products is hurt in some ways. If we don’t want to be hurt ,we should be alerted. I agree with the advocates of nonconventional medicine that it is beneficial for us and finally according to me, we should combine conventional medicine and nonconventional medicine because if there is only one, either nonconventional or conventional, it must be illogical.

REVİEW OF THE FİLMS

REVİEW OF THE FİLMS
“The miracle worker” tells about Helen Keler and “Angela’s Ashes tells about Frank McCourt . What are they ? They are exactly real life story. Frank McCourt is a real writer Helen Keller is also from real life. However ıt comes to us as if they were a kind of imaginatination of our mind but no matter how we have difficulty in believing in those kind of stories, all of them are lived in somewhere of this world that we also live .Their stories are about challenges of life and their experiences that they encounter . It is the similarity between two films, The Miracle Worker and and Angela ‘s Ashes . . Unlike the other people, they are born with some obstacles and difficulties. These difficulties are poorness,, hungriness also cold weather, ıt is always rainy ın the film of Angela’s Ashes and ın The Miracle Worker difficulties change . there is no poorness but there is an obstacle not one there is two . Deafness and blindness .Do you think that you are both deaf and blind? If you ask me, I can not even imagine.Another similarity is determinizm reflected by Frank McCourt and Helen Keler . They are like activist that take part in social life with their perseverance and other features. The other similarity of these two films is the being strong,smart, ambitious of the characters . Why are they so ambitious and willingly to overcome their obstacles. They can be passive and accept the situation then they might go on their life so. However they choose fighting. They are ambitious because they think that they have right tol ive beter.The last similarity between two films is that the characters –Helen Keler and Frank McCourt- is be able to reach their aim and succeed in spite of all changes that they face. It is not easy as seem. While I was watching two films, I caught on some differencies. For instance, ın the Angela’s Ashes , there are some mit that are about religion. Church, confession, regretness of the sin… In the Miracle Worker,there is not any reflection of the social life at that time. The Miracle Worker is apart from the outside and ıt is based on person’s emotion and feeling and also ın the miracle worker there is somebody who helps Helen to learn everything from eating to sitting and make her understand the world by touching with her fingers. The message of two films that we shouldnt sit in the chair with the obstacles that turns the lights of our life into dark. We are talented at least only a part of life and we can be succesful in this part. Even if you are handicapped, even ıf you can not find any bread to eat ,there is always a chance for all people. The most important thing is not to lose of our believe in our heart . Finally, “Angela’s Ashes” is more effective and more beautiful than “The Miracle Worker “ because Angela’s ashes has more perspective of some subjects that are seen than the other film. In the miracle worker the seen that has an impression and give the message to reader is limited andı f we asses the film in terms of esthetic, Angela’s Ashes is more colourful and more effective. Angela’s ashes is the compose of many feelings. However both of them worth watching…
