Write an analytical essay that argues the importance of this introduction to the narrative structure of the book.

In an abusive relationship, there is often more than one victim. Family and friends of abuse victims often struggle with feelings of sadness, helplessness and even anger.
You may want to rescue the person you love. You may be furious at them for staying in an abusive relationship and not listening to you. You may feel frustrated. You may be confused and hurt.
It's hard to understand the power that an abuser has, and the strong forces that compel victims to remain in harmful situations.
All of the things you're feeling are normal. And difficult as it may be to live in the day to day uncertainty that your life entails right now, there are some things that you can do to help the person you love remain strong, and hopefully find the power to get away from the abuse.
Here are just a few thoughts on loving someone who is abused:
- You can't make your loved one leave the relationship. It has to be their choice. What you can do is build up their feelings of self-worth, their inner strength and their sense of self.
- If the victim is a child, elderly, or otherwise incapable of protecting themselves, there are laws in place to help them. Check with your police department for more information about how they can help.
- People in abusive relationships feel as if they have no other choice. It may be because they're afraid they will be hurt, or that they'll have no place to go, that no one will believe them, or that no one else will ever be able to love them. What you can do is remind them that you care about them, that what is happening is not their fault, that you can assist them in finding the help that they need when they are ready.
- People in abusive relationships have a hard time seeing what is going on in a logical way. Abusers often convince their partner that their family members are against them, and that they are the only ones who love them.
- Your loved one may say terribly hurtful things to you. Don't take it personally, because it's not about you. Those words are being said by someone who is in great pain, who is afraid, and who is most likely very confused.
- One of the best things you can do is remind them that they are loved by you, and that they can come to you without fear of judgement.
The most important thing that you can do when someone you care about is in an abusive relationship is to love them. Love them furiously, love them unconditionally. You may not see it now, but your care does make a difference.

Friday when Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) spoke at Netroots Nation, a progressive convention for online activists, she stuck her usual populist tone, arguing, "the game is rigged" in Washington against the little guy and in favor of big banks.
The Massachusetts lawmaker said big banks "swagger through Washington–blocking reforms in pushing around agencies" so they will not be held accountable for their misdeeds.
She said, "a kid gets caught with a few ounces of pot and goes to jail but a big bank laundered drug money and no one gets arrested," because she claimed their "Republican friends in Congress" give in to the banks' lobbyists and "protect every loophole and every privilege" for the "too big to fail" financial institutions.
Warren concluded, "We don't win every time, but we're learning to win. We're learning to win, and we will keep winning. We will fight and we will win."

Pay More, Get Less! What a Bargain!
The Cato Institute's Michael D. Tanner has analyzed the key health care proposals being discussed in Congress and finds them all lacking.
From a blurb on his new study: "Americans will pay more and get less. Whatever the variation, however these bills are merged or compromised, this would be bad news for Americans."

The Death Menu
by: Amy Getter, RN, MS
Death scenarios, debates about assisted suicide, hospice and end of life commentaries, "Death cafes" and "death dinners" have been in magazines, the subject of special reports on television, newspaper articles and in various other media sources. It seems that a new popularity has risen among the press to highlight the "taboo" subject of death. Naturally, as a hospice nurse, I am pleased to see an increasing interest from the public in things surrounding dying (since, after all, it is what I talk about every day!). More recently, palliative care has joined hospice and dying in the media's scrutiny and discussion.
Palliative care is now a recognized medical specialty. Over half of the nation's hospitals offer a palliative care team: a group of experts that usually consists of physicians, social workers, chaplains and nurses. One of their goals is to help a patient and their family members navigate through the maze of hospitalizations and different treatment possibilities while also alleviating disease symptoms for a person with a serious, life threatening illness. A good friend who works on a palliative care team in a large Seattle hospital shared with me that she uses the term "menu" when speaking to someone regarding the choices surrounding a person with a life-limiting illness.
That started me thinking about what I affectionately term the "Death Menu" with all the varied courses. People are offered options, like palliative care, that is included as one of the many "choices on the menu". My friend relayed a story to me recently about a woman that the oncologist had referred to the palliative care team.
Paula was in her early forties, in the end stages of metastatic cancer. She was experiencing extreme pain that necessitated hospitalization. Although expert consultation and multiple interventions were successfully enjoined, Paula felt desperate about her life. She wasn't dying today, but like all of us, she was dying someday and perhaps had a better realization than the rest of us that her life was truly limited. She was considering how she wanted to spend the remaining weeks if that was all she had. Various menu items were presented to her including another aggressive palliative chemotherapy; a clinical trial that might extend her life (many of the available treatments had already been tried and had failed); or perhaps going home with hospice. That was when Paula asked why wasn't she offered the opportunity she had often provided to the animals she tended to over the years, when advanced disease was causing undo suffering? She had given them something to "help them over their last hurdle".
My friend shared with Paula that a person had a similar option, since 1) She had a terminal diagnosis, with a life expectancy of less than 6 months due to her disease progression and 2) She was capable of making this decision for herself. She could choose to end her life "prematurely", by taking a lethal number of pills prescribed by her doctor, if that was her choice. Paula had never heard of the term DWD (death with dignity) or PAD (physician assisted death). Nor had she ever heard of the nonprofit agency that assisted people with jumping through the hoops to complete the many details in order to attain the prescription (Compassion and Choices). This option was available in the state in which Paula resided, and she was qualified, having a "terminal" illness, to pursue obtaining the medications if she chose to. (No, PAD is not available to just anyone. No, it is not something that is done to a person. No, it is not a quick process nor an easy solution. It is a menu selection made by a person who has a choice in what their final days might look like).
I don't know the rest of the story, except that Paula did go home, and she did choose to have hospice care. She may have also chosen PAD. If in fact she did, her death certificate would read the cause of death was metastatic cervical cancer. It would be decided by Paula, how her life ended, and her prerogative, whether death occurred naturally or she helped herself "over that last hurdle". After all, it was Paula's death.
I have witnessed many people face their mortality with dignity and grace. Some have had every available including "futile" treatment literally up to the last day of their life; some pursued palliative treatment rather than aggressive surgeries; some opted for no treatment; some have chosen hospice and others have not; some died in their homes; others died in the hospital; some chose PAD; most have not; some have attempted to make the choice for PAD but obstacles have been placed in their way.
I don't pretend to have the ethical answers, I am happy to admit that I don't know THE right choice for another person to make. I am just very glad that there are a number of menu items to choose from, and that each of us will have to decide for ourselves what our entrée will be. Like all menus, though, I would hope that the choices are listed accurately, honestly without prejudice or partisanship. Soon enough, the death menu will be our own, for perusal and selection, and my hope is that everyone has the opportunity to "Have it your way".

I am really frustrated by this post. Last week was National Suicide Awareness Week, for goodness' sake! We don't let non-terminally ill people take their life "prematurely." We recognize their interest in suicide as a cry for help. That is our responsibility and privilege as medical professionals.
If she had committed physician assisted suicide, "her death certificate would read the cause of death was metastatic cervical cancer." It genuinely shocks me that this concept is accepted at all in the medical community. That is a lie! If an autopsy was done on her, it would be shown that those pills killed her. Not her cancer.
I am disappointed, GeriPal. We don't have to be professional ethicists to recognize that purposefully promoting someone's death is not morally acceptable or anyhow related to our job description.

Actually, I am a proponent for empowerment and full disclosure to patients who ask and need to know what options they have for all available medical treatment. I am saddened when medical professionals with their own belief system intentionally limit what information a patient receives. It's not our life. It's not our choice.

Dear Amy,
Yes, people will make the choices that are presented to them. However, we also have our choice to either promote our beliefs or to stay silent. Yet, you chose to promote people's autonomy in choosing when and how to die, even they take it into their own hands. The day that I'll accept this is the day that someone can give themselves life from the beginning or take back their lives. That will be the day that humans can declare that they are the author of life, and thus they can have their ultimate autonomy. Physicians and nurses have gone into this field not to control destiny, but to do whatever we can to help people in life and in the process of dying, while they are still living. I know the issues are more ever more complex with the rise of life-sustaining technologies, but any form of suicide should be lamented at the least, and protested against at the most.

Muslims throughout Temecula and Murrieta have saved up for years to build a mosque to replace the plain white industrial building, tucked between a pipeline company and packaging warehouse, where they now gather to pray.
But as the Islamic Center of Temecula Valley moves ahead with plans to build on a four-acre plot of vacant land near Temecula's gentle hills and invading housing developments, plans for the new mosque have stirred hostility in this mostly conservative community in southwest Riverside County.
Along with increased traffic and noise, opponents fear the mosque would clash with Temecula's rural atmosphere and, they say, possibly turn the community of 105,000 into a haven for Islamic extremists.
The pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, just across a cul-de-sac from the site of the mosque, said the two religions "mix like oil and water" and predicted a "confrontational atmosphere" if the project moves forward.

Harold Washington is fast approaching the point of no return in his quest to be mayor for a generation. For those who are black and avidly support him, his rejection at the polls next time would be a devastating psychological blow.
Nearly two years ago while still living in New York, I wrote enthusiastically about the national significance of a Washington victory. For many Americans, black and white, that hard-fought campaign symbolized the parlous state of race relations in America. Most blacks felt that if Chicago, traditionally the nation`s most segregated city, could peaceably make the transition to black rule then there would indeed be reason for optimism.

Shannon Ridge Trail is a 8.3 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Concrete, Washington that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as difficult. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is best used from June until November. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
nature trips
wild flowers
Directions from Sedro-Woolley: Follow State Route 20 east for 17 miles to milepost 82. Turn left on the Baker Lake Hwy. (Forest Road #11). Continue on the Baker Lake Hwy. for 24 miles to Road #1152. Turn left on Road #1152 and continue for 3 miles to Road #1152014. Turn right and travel for 1.5 miles to the end of the road.
Only one car in the parking lot & a nice hike in on an old logging road. Virtually no bugs & not too warm although those w/climbing gear looked tired & hot. Great views of Mt. Baker & lunch after 2 hrs w/view of the ascent to the ridge. A steep rocky climb, but only 30 min, & you're on top of the ridge w/great views. About the same time to get back but only 5 cars in the lot. A great hike.
Agreed with reviews. Hard up and up trail. Don't even think about going with out mega bug repellent. The flies are brutal and they bite.
Great view at the top but the climb up is a bit boring and there's lots of big trees to climb over. Took about an hour and a half up

Back in November, then-Senator Al Franken's refusal to return a favorable blue slip on President Trump's nomination of Minnesota supreme court justice David Stras led Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley to announce that he would not defer to Franken and that he would not allow senators to use the blue-slip process to block nominees for ideological reasons.
To my surprise, Senate Democrats did not use the Stras nomination to register their protest against Grassley's blue-slip policy. In committee, both Amy Klobuchar (who returned a favorable blue slip on Stras) and Sheldon Whitehouse joined Republicans in favorably reporting the Stras nomination to the Senate floor. On the Senate floor, on both the cloture vote and the final confirmation vote, seven Democrats—Klobuchar, Donnelly, Heitkamp, Jones (recently elected in Alabama), Manchin, McCaskill, and Warner—voted with Republicans in support of the Stras nomination.
While I hesitate to draw grand lessons from a single nomination battle, it would sure seem that Chairman Grassley picked the right nominee to inaugurate his blue-slip policy. Yes, it helped that the initial allegations of Franken's sexual abuses broke the same day that Grassley announced the policy. But the respect that Stras earned from his state supreme court colleagues across ideological lines, along with Klobuchar's related decision to support his nomination, made him the ideal test case.
It's also interesting that six of the seven Democrats (all but Warner) who voted for Stras are up for re-election this November. Their defections from the party line would suggest that, much as the lefty base of the Democratic party might wish otherwise, many voters in the center don't want to see their senators voting against highly qualified judicial nominees.
