Domestic Violence Essay -- Violence Against Women Essays
There is no question that domestic violence directed against women is a serious problem. Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop has called it womenââ¬â¢s number-one health problem. The statistics reported in the popular press are staggering: Nearly one third of women in hospital emergency departments are there due to domestic violence, three out of four female homicide victims are killed by their husbands or lovers, and 6 million women are victims of abuse by people they know each year (Journal of the American Medical Association June, 1992). à à à à à Let us begin by first defining what abuse is: abuse is the use or threat to use physical, sexual, or verbal behavior to coerce the partner to do something one wants; to degrade or humiliate; to gain or maintain a sense of power or control; to act out ones anger inappropriately. Abusive behaviors may include subtle or covert harm as well as life threatening acts of violence. Yet, it seems to be that violence against an intimate partner does not seem to be as serious as other crimes. We know this, because less than half of our states view marital rape as a crime (History of Governorââ¬â¢ Commission on Domestic Violence, 2001). The Governorââ¬â¢s Commission on Domestic Violence was established by the Weld/Cellucci administration in April 1992, shortly after domestic violence was declared a public health emergency in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Governorââ¬â¢s Commission on Domestic Violence leads the nation in its comprehensive and innovative appro ach to addressing the crime of domestic violence. Some of its many accomplishments include: à ·Ã à à à à State funding for domestic violence prevention and intervention initiatives including: resources for district attorneyââ¬â¢s offices, battered womenââ¬â¢s programs and emergency shelters, legal services, school based teen dating violence programs, certified batters intervention programs, and judicial training. For FY01, state funding totaled over $23.4 million dollars. à ·Ã à à à à The publication of the Annual Prevention and Intervention Plan (House 1 budget) detailing domestic violence initiatives. à ·Ã à à à à The support of progressive domestic violence legislation including Chapter 209A, stalking law, firearms legislation, and uniform enforcement of out of state restraining orders. à ·Ã à à à à The first state wide Domestic Violence Law Enforcement Guidelines. à ·Ã à à à à The publication of... ... get the help they need. We are only failing our communities and ourselves by looking away from this social problem and leaving it to the familyââ¬â¢s alone to solve for themselves. à à à à à The violence will not simply stop, and it will not get better. Once it starts, it will happen more often and it will get progressively worse. No matter how much a battered woman loves her partner, she should know that she is in real danger. She has to ensure her own safety. Battered womenââ¬â¢s centers, crisis intervention services, and family crisis centers have names like Counsel for Abused Families, Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Crisis Intervention Service, or Family Help Place. Family crisis centers provide hotlines that are open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. If she cannot find a crisis center, she can call the police, sheriff, district attorneys, public library, or Salvation Army. The Salvation Army has kind and caring people who will help her without regard to her color, religion, or ethnic background. They can put her in touch with the people who can give her exactly the help she needs. A battered women must not stop until she finds that help. Her life depends on it! à à à à Ã

Why should we build up a Start-up vocabulary quickly? Draft v1.1. August 4, 2002 Rob Waring This page is at http://www1.harenet.ne.jp/~waring/vocab/principles/early.htm ?@ Abstract This article will examine the reasons why it is important both linguistically and psychologically to build a vocabulary quickly when learning a foreign language. The article asserts that very little can be achieved or learned in a foreign language with a small vocabulary and that by building a sizable vocabulary quite quickly one can soon be able to function adequately. You may also wish to look at http://www.jalt-publications.org/tlt/files/95/feb/meara.html ?@ Introduction ?@ It is obvious that in order to learn a foreign language one needs to learn many many words. But how many? Educated English native speakers have a vocabulary of about 20,000-25,000 word families (A 'word family' refers to a group of words that share the same basic meaning e.g. create, creation, creating, created, creative etc), foreign learners of English need far fewer[1].The speaking vocabulary is usually said to be half of the reading and writing vocabulary. Foreign learners of English only need about 3000-5000 word families to be quite competent in speaking and listening to English. This is great news for learners of English because their task is much easier than that of native speakers! ?@ One of the reasons for this seemingly small number is the nature of words and the frequency with which they appear in a language. Not all words are equal because some words such as time, the, come, make, and so on are very common whereas others such as parasol, bombastic and edifice are relatively rare and not met everyday. It therefore seems clear that these frequent words should be among the first words to learn because they will be met most often and will be needed frequently in speech or writing. Thus the pay off for learning them is higher than for an average rare word. These words are often called a General Service Vocabulary because these words are found in many kinds of situations and domains. This is a vocabulary of about 2000 word families. The best list (although it is a bit dated is Michael West's 1954 list called the General Service Word List.) These General Service words are found a very very wide range of contexts such as in the medical world, in novels, in scientific reports, on web pages, in daily conversation, in politics and so on. Because these words appear in so many contexts they are extremely useful to almost all learners.

Shadow Kiss Chapter 12
TWELVE IF YOU'D ASKED ME six months ago, I would have said there was no way I'd be happy to run into Mia Rinaldi at the Royal Court. She was a year younger than me and had held a grudge against Lissa since freshman year ââ¬â a grudge so big that Mia had gone to great extremes to make life miserable for us. She'd done a good job. Jesse and Ralf's rumors about me had been a result of her efforts. But then Mia had gone with us to Spokane and been captured by the Strigoi. And, just like for Christian and Eddie, that had changed everything. She'd seen the same horrors the rest of us had. In fact, she was the only one of my friends who had witnessed Mason's death and me killing Strigoi. She had even saved my life then by using her water magic to temporarily drown one of the Strigoi. In the great Moroi argument about whether or not they should learn to fight with the guardians, she was firmly on the fighting side. I hadn't seen Mia in almost a month, ever since Mason's funeral. In studying her, I felt like it'd been a year. I had always thought Mia looked like a doll. She was short compared to most Moroi and had young, round-cheeked features. The fact that she'd always curled her hair in perfect ringlets had sort of reinforced that image. But today, she hadn't gone to nearly that much trouble. Her golden blond hair was pulled into a ponytail, its only curl coming from a slight, natural waviness. She wore no makeup, and her face showed signs of having been outdoors a lot. Her skin looked chapped from the wind, and she had a very, very faint tan ââ¬â almost unheard of for Moroi, with their aversion to sunlight. For the first time ever, she actually looked her age. She laughed at my shock. ââ¬Å"Come on, it hasn't been that long. You look like you don't even recognize me.â⬠ââ¬Å"I almost don't.â⬠We hugged, and again, it was hard to believe that she'd once plotted ways to ruin my life. Or that I'd broken her nose. ââ¬Å"What are you doing here?â⬠She beckoned us out the door. ââ¬Å"We were just about to leave. I'll explain everything.â⬠We went to a neighboring building. It wasn't like a mall or anything, but it did have a few businesses that the Moroi who worked and visited here needed ââ¬â a handful of restaurants, some small stores, and offices that offered all sorts of services. There was also a coffee shop, and that was where Mia led us. A coffee shop seems like an ordinary thing, but I rarely got to go to them. Sitting in a public place (or semi-public) with friends, not worrying about schoolâ⬠¦ it was great. It reminded me of when Lissa and I had been on our own, when our entire lives hadn't been contained within a school and its rules. ââ¬Å"My dad works here now,â⬠she told us. ââ¬Å"And so now I live here.â⬠Moroi children rarely lived with their parents. They were sent off to places like St. Vladimir's, where they could grow up safely. ââ¬Å"What about school?â⬠I asked. ââ¬Å"There aren't many kids here, but there are some. Most of them are rich and have personal tutors. My dad pulled some strings and set it up so that I can go to them for different subjects. So I'm still studying the same things, just in a different way. It's actually pretty cool. Less teacher time ââ¬â but more homework.â⬠ââ¬Å"You've been doing more than that,â⬠said Eddie. ââ¬Å"Unless your classes are outside.â⬠He'd noticed the same things I had, and in looking at her hands as they held her latte, I could now see calluses. She wiggled her fingers. ââ¬Å"I made friends with some of the guardians here. They've been showing me a few things.â⬠ââ¬Å"That's risky,â⬠said Christian, though he sounded like he approved. ââ¬Å"Since there's still a debate about Moroi fighting.â⬠ââ¬Å"You mean about Moroi fighting with magic,â⬠she corrected. ââ¬Å"That's what's controversial. No one's really talking about Moroi fighting hand-to-hand.â⬠ââ¬Å"Well, they are,â⬠I said. ââ¬Å"It's just been overshadowed by the magic controversy.â⬠ââ¬Å"It's not illegal,â⬠she said primly. ââ¬Å"And until it is, I'm going to keep doing it. You think with all the events and meetings that go on around here that anyone even notices what someone like me does?â⬠Mia's family, in addition to being non-royal, was also pretty lower class ââ¬â not that there was anything wrong with that, but she had to feel the effects of that around here. Still, I found her whole situation cheering. Mia seemed happier and more open than she had during the entire time I'd known her. She seemed â⬠¦ free. Christian spoke my thoughts before I could. ââ¬Å"You've changed,â⬠he said. ââ¬Å"We've all changed,â⬠she corrected. ââ¬Å"Especially you, Rose. I can't quite explain it.â⬠ââ¬Å"I don't think there's any way the five of us couldn't have changed,â⬠Christian pointed out. A moment later he corrected himself. ââ¬Å"Four of us.â⬠We all fell silent, thoughts of Mason weighing us down. Being with Christian, Eddie, and Mia stirred up that grief I always tried to hide, and I could see from their faces that they continually fought the same battle. Conversation eventually turned toward all of us catching up on what had happened here and at the Academy. Yet I kept thinking about how Mia had said that I had changed more than the others. All I could think about was how out of control I'd felt lately, how half the time my actions and feelings didn't seem like my own. Sitting there, it almost seemed like Mia was controlled by all of her positive traits now ââ¬â and I was controlled by my negative ones. Conversations with Adrian replayed through my head, reminding me about how I supposedly had such a dark, dark aura. Maybe thinking about him summoned him, but he and Lissa eventually joined us. Their bar was probably in the same building, I realized. I'd been blocking her out and not paying much attention. Adrian hadn't completely gotten her drunk, thankfully, but she'd agreed to two drinks. I could feel a slight buzz through the bond and had to carefully shield it out. She was as surprised as we'd been to see Mia but gave her a warm welcome and wanted to catch up. I'd heard most of this already, so I just listened and drank my chai. No coffee for me. Most guardians drank it the way Moroi drank blood, but I wouldn't touch the stuff. ââ¬Å"How'd your thing with the queen go?â⬠Christian asked Lissa at one point. ââ¬Å"Not so bad,â⬠she said. ââ¬Å"I mean, not great either. But she didn't yell at me or humiliate me, so that's a start.â⬠ââ¬Å"Stop being modest,â⬠said Adrian, putting his arm around her. ââ¬Å"Princess Dragomir totally stood her ground. You should have seen it.â⬠Lissa laughed. ââ¬Å"I don't suppose she mentioned why she decided to let us come to the trial?â⬠Christian asked stiffly. He didn't look very happy about the bonding that was taking place here ââ¬â or about Adrian's arm. Lissa's laughter faded, but she was still smiling. ââ¬Å"Adrian did it.â⬠ââ¬Å"What?â⬠Christian and I asked together. Adrian, looking very pleased with himself, stayed quiet for a change and let Lissa do the talking. ââ¬Å"He convinced her that we needed to be here. He apparently harassed her until she gave in.â⬠ââ¬Å"It's called ââ¬Ëpersuasion,' not ââ¬Ëharassment,'â⬠Adrian said. Lissa laughed again. My own words about the queen came back to haunt me. Who's she? Just another Ivashkov. There are a ton of them. There were indeed. I eyed Adrian. ââ¬Å"How closely are you guys related?â⬠The answer popped into my head from Lissa's. ââ¬Å"She's your aunt.â⬠ââ¬Å"Great-aunt. And I'm her favorite great nephew. Well, I'm her only great nephew, but that's not important. I'd still be her favorite,â⬠he said. ââ¬Å"Unbelievable,â⬠said Christian. ââ¬Å"I'll second that,â⬠I said. ââ¬Å"None of you appreciate me. Why is it so hard to believe that I could make a real contribution in these dark times?â⬠Adrian stood up. He was trying to sound outraged, but the smirk on his face indicated that he still found all of this pretty funny. ââ¬Å"My cigarettes and I are going outside. At least they show me respect.â⬠As soon as he left, Christian asked Lissa, ââ¬Å"Were you getting drunk with him?â⬠ââ¬Å"I'm not drunk. I only had two drinks,â⬠she said. ââ¬Å"Since when did you get all conservative?â⬠ââ¬Å"Since Adrian became a bad influence.â⬠ââ¬Å"Come on! He helped us get here. No one else was able to do it. He didn't have to, but he did. And you and Rose are sitting there, still acting like he's the most evil person on the planet.â⬠That wasn't exactly true. I was mostly sitting there like I had been hit in the head, still too dumbstruck to react. ââ¬Å"Yeah, and I'm sure he did it out of the kindness of his heart,â⬠muttered Christian. ââ¬Å"Why else would he do it?â⬠ââ¬Å"Oh, gee, I wonder.â⬠Lissa's eyes widened. ââ¬Å"You think he did it for me? You think there's something going on with us?â⬠ââ¬Å"You guys drink together, practice magic together, and go to elitist events together. What would you think?â⬠Mia and Eddie looked like they wanted to be somewhere else. I was starting to share the feeling. Anger burned through Lissa, hitting me like a wave of heat. She was utterly outraged. Her fury didn't even have that much to do with Adrian, really. She was more upset at the thought of Christian not trusting her. And as for him, I needed no psychic powers to understand how he was feeling. He wasn't jealous simply because she was hanging out with Adrian. Christian was still jealous that Adrian had the kind of influence to pull this off for her. It was just like what Jesse and Ralf had described, about how the right connections could open the right doors ââ¬â connections that Christian didn't have. I kneed Christian's leg, hoping he'd get the hint that he really should stop talking before things got worse. Lissa's anger was intensifying, muddled with embarrassment as she began to doubt herself and wonder if she had been getting too close to Adrian. The whole thing was ridiculous. ââ¬Å"Christian, for the love of God. If Adrian did this for anyone, it was because of me and his crazy obsession. He bragged awhile ago that he could do it, and I didn't believe it.â⬠I turned to Lissa. I needed to get her calm and diffuse those dark feelings that could cause so much trouble for her when they ran out of control. ââ¬Å"Liss, you might not be wasted exactly, but you need to chill out for an hour before having this conversation. You're going to say something as stupid as Christian, and I'll be the one who has to deal with the mess ââ¬â like always.â⬠I'd gotten worked up and expected someone to tell me how bitchy I sounded. Instead, Lissa relaxed and offered Christian a smile. ââ¬Å"Yeah, we should definitely talk about this later. A lot's kind of happened today.â⬠He hesitated, then nodded. ââ¬Å"Yeah. Sorry I jumped all over you.â⬠He returned her smile, fight patched up. ââ¬Å"So,â⬠Lissa asked Mia, ââ¬Å"who have you met here?â⬠I stared at them in amazement, but no one seemed to notice. I'd fixed their fight, and there'd been no acknowledgment. No Thank you, Rose, for pointing out how idiotic we're being. It was bad enough I had to endure their romance day after day, with no consideration for how I felt. Now I was salvaging their relationship, and they didn't even realize it. ââ¬Å"I'll be right back,â⬠I said, interrupting Mia's description of some of the other teenagers here. I was afraid if I sat there, I was going to say something I'd regret or maybe break a chair. Where had this rage come from? I went outside, hoping a gulp of cold air would calm me down. Instead, I got a face full of clove smoke. ââ¬Å"Don't start in about the smoking,â⬠warned Adrian. He was leaning against the building's brick wall. ââ¬Å"You didn't have to come outside. You knew I was here.â⬠ââ¬Å"That's actually why I'm here. Well, that, and I felt like I was going to go crazy if I stayed inside another minute.â⬠He tilted his head to look at my face. His eyebrows shot up. ââ¬Å"You aren't kidding, are you? What happened? You were fine a few minutes ago.â⬠I paced across the ground in front of him. ââ¬Å"I don't know. I was fine. Then Christian and Lissa started having this stupid argument over you. It was weird. They were the ones who were mad ââ¬â and then I ended up madder than both of them.â⬠ââ¬Å"Wait. They were arguing over me?â⬠ââ¬Å"Yes. I just said that. Weren't you paying attention?â⬠ââ¬Å"Hey, don't snap at me. I haven't done anything to you.â⬠I crossed my arms over my chest. ââ¬Å"Christian's jealous because you hang around Lissa so much.â⬠ââ¬Å"We're studying spirit,â⬠said Adrian. ââ¬Å"He's welcome to join in.â⬠ââ¬Å"Yeah, well, no one ever said love was reasonable. Seeing you come back together kind of set him off. And then he got upset because you pulled rank with the queen for Lissa.â⬠ââ¬Å"I didn't do it for her. I did it for all of you ââ¬â but, well, you especially.â⬠I came to a halt in front of him. ââ¬Å"I didn't believe you. That you could do it.â⬠He grinned. ââ¬Å"Guess you should have listened to my family history in that dream after all.â⬠ââ¬Å"I guess. I just thoughtâ⬠¦Ã¢â¬ I couldn't finish. I'd thought Dimitri would be the one who came through for me, the one who ââ¬â despite what he said ââ¬â could make almost anything happen. But he hadn't. ââ¬Å"Thought what?â⬠Adrian prompted. ââ¬Å"Nothing.â⬠With much effort, I managed to utter the next words. ââ¬Å"Thank you for helping us.â⬠ââ¬Å"Oh my God,â⬠he said. ââ¬Å"A kind word from Rose Hathaway. I can die a happy man.â⬠ââ¬Å"What are you saying? That I'm normally an ungrateful bitch?â⬠He just looked at me. ââ¬Å"Hey! Not cool.â⬠ââ¬Å"Maybe you could redeem yourself with a hug.â⬠I glared. ââ¬Å"A small one?â⬠he begged. With a sigh, I walked over and put one arm around Adrian, leaning my head lightly against his arm. ââ¬Å"Thanks, Adrian.â⬠We stood like that for a heartbeat. I felt none of the crazy electricity or connection I did with Dimitri, but I had to admit that Lissa had been right about something. Adrian was annoying and arrogant at times, but he really wasn't the bastard I often made him out to be. The doors opened, and Lissa and the others stepped outside. They understandably looked surprised, but I didn't care just then. Besides, they probably all thought I was pregnant with Adrian's love child, so what did it matter? I backed away. ââ¬Å"Heading out?â⬠I asked. ââ¬Å"Yeah, Mia's got more important things to do than hang out with us,â⬠joked Christian. ââ¬Å"Hey, I just told my dad I'd meet him. I'll see you guys before I leave.â⬠She started to walk away, then abruptly turned around. ââ¬Å"God, I'm so out of it.â⬠She reached into her coat pocket and handed me a folded piece of paper. ââ¬Å"This is half the reason I found you guys. One of the court clerks wanted me to give this to you.â⬠ââ¬Å"Thanks,â⬠I said, puzzled. She headed off to see her dad while the rest of us strolled back to our accommodations. I slowed my pace as I opened the note, wondering who in the world here would want to contact me. Rose, I was so happy to hear about your arrival. I'm sure it'll make tomorrow's proceedings that much more entertaining. I've been curious for quite some time about how Vasilisa is doing, and your romantic escapades are always an amusing diversion. I can't wait to share them in the courtroom tomorrow. Best, V.D. ââ¬Å"Who's it from?â⬠asked Eddie, coming up beside me. I hastily folded it up and shoved it into my pocket. ââ¬Å"No one,â⬠I replied. No one indeed. V. D. Victor Dashkov.

Describe the Different Stakeholders Who Influence the Purpose of Two Contrasting Organisations Essays
Describe the Different Stakeholders Who Influence the Purpose of Two Contrasting Organisations Essays Describe the Different Stakeholders Who Influence the Purpose of Two Contrasting Organisations Essay Describe the Different Stakeholders Who Influence the Purpose of Two Contrasting Organisations Essay Typical stakeholders in a organisation might include Customers: customers want value for money which involves providing the highest quality products at competitive prices. Employees: Their stake is that the company provides them with am livelihood. They want security of employments, good rates of reward and also promotional opportunities. Suppliers: They want to feel valued by the company and want frequent orders with prompt payments. Owners: In a company it would be the shareholders. Owners are often thought to be the most important stakeholders because they have set up the business and give a lot of time into the company to make it successful. Owners like to see their share of profit increasing, and the value of their business rising. Trade Unions: This is for groups of employees who seek to secure higher wages and better working conditions for their members. Employer associations: This is the same as trade unions but for the employers, representing the interests of employers in specific industries. Local and National Communities: The actions of business can have a dramatic effect on communities. E. g. The oil Giant Shell has built vast pipelines in Nigeria, which runs through the lands of various tribal peoples. The pipelines can be very dangerous and causes local pollution. Community leaders therefore represent important interest groups Governments: The government wants businesses to become successful, to create jobs and to pay taxes. They want to see good businesses that take a full responsibility on looking after the welfare of society. Influence of stakeholders on organisations A business needs to take account of the interests of all its stakeholder groupings. These interests are linked together. For example if Richard Branson decides to run his virgin trains using greener fuels, this means that the cost of journeys on Virgin trains increases. This may be a bad thing because: Customers may have to pay higher fares Shareholders may get lower profits Virgin buys from new suppliers rather than the old ones Some jobs may be a risk The government may lose taxes However, it may be seen as a good thing because: It is better for the environment More people may want to travel by train because its greener Employees feel better about working for a greener transport company The company may increase sales and make more profits.

Too Connected to Social Media Essay Example
Too Connected to Social Media Essay Example Too Connected to Social Media Essay Too Connected to Social Media Essay Essay Topic: Social Media Are we too connected? Last Monday was just an average Monday. My friend sent out a tweet about her new art show and so I wall posted her via facebook about the time and location in which she replied via a comment saying that she would give me a call. She followed up with a voicemail message and an invitation email, sent to my personal account of course. I then texted her telling of my availability and keenness to see her recent work. At the end of my Monday something occurred to me; actually it was more like I was slapped in the face by the hand of modern technology. I had seemingly been communicating all day and yet somehow connected with nobody. I myself am an avid enthusiast of the joys of modern technology so you can see why I did not absorb this epiphany with composure. Speaking as an 18-year-old girl whose middle school years were marked by the likes of MySpace I feel as if I am very well educated on the topic of digital communication. I have experienced first hand the infectious, consuming nature of social media sites. The internet allows me to instantly connect with my overseas relatives and at the same time sucks me into a vortex of procrastination. It would appear that somewhere between windows 98 and the ipad3 we as a society have manipulated ourselves into a constant state of flux; endlessly devoted to the idea that we must always be connected. Digital Libraian and fournder of the Internet Archive Brewster Kahle explains, ââ¬Å"A lot of our brain, a lot of our worth to the world, a lot of our memories, are actually not in our heads anymore. Theyre actually in the Web, in the weave, in the interconnections, the friends that we can touch at a moments notice. Thats who makes us powerful. ââ¬Å" It would appear that for most of us technology is no longer just a tool. It is a family photo album, itââ¬â¢s our workspace, itââ¬â¢s dinner with friends at six. Teenagers change their profile page to reflect their ever-changing adolescent identities. Mothers are swapping recipes and parenting advice online. Singles are reaching out, exposing who they are in search for love. Businessmen are uploading their resumes virtually in order to climb the corporate ladder. Technology has become inherent to the way in which we function daily. As this urgency to contact one another grows so to does the need to disconnect. Things are not as intimate as they once were. It would seem that weââ¬â¢re almost always in a public space even from the privacy of our homes. This idea that we are always connected is in reality a false problem. You can turn the switch off, unplug, shutdown and so on. When is the last time you went without a piece of technology? Why we do rely on technology like an emotional crutch, supporting our need to interact? Technology will continue to rapidly grow and so too will knew and wonderful ways to connect globally. With this we must train ourselves. It is a hard truth, but we do not need to know what everybody is doing at every point of the day. It is a matter of quality vs. quantity. Sometimes you have to step away from the faceless monitor, let your IPhone run flat, stop sharing life so candidly and instead enjoy the simplicities

strong people essays
strong people essays Do you admire strong people? What about people who you wish you could be like? Or, are you someone who likes a real man who treats a girl right? Debbie Maccomber puts all of these elements in Navy Brat. Erin MacMamera is a hard working woman whos strong, and Brandon Davis is a charming man, who every girl would dream to have. I highly recommend that this book be read. First of all, Brandon Davis is a good guy, and every girl would dream to be with him. Brandon is a very gorgeous looking person. Most good looking guys dont even give girls a chance, unless they are perfect. This is because most men are jerks and only care about looks. They dont try to see inner beauty. Brand is different. Even though hes drop dead gorgeous, he falls for Erin. Erin isnt the prettiest woman. She is described as a sophisticated and distinctively Irish. The author says shes pretty but shes not even close to being strikingly beautiful. Brand sees past this and treats her like a woman should be treated. To him, she was the most beautiful woman in the world. What girls wouldnt want a guy like that? When Brand was away at sea because he was in the navy, he wrote Erin a letter every single day. No matter what, he made it a point to write to her. If thats not sweet, then I dont know what is. He was very persistent with Erin because he wanted to be with her. But if she wante d him to stop pushing her he did. He never forced her to do anything she didnt want to, and he backed off when she needed space. Quite clearly, Brand is an extremely wonderful man. Not all men are like that. A lot get bored, give up easily, or treat girls poorly. Brand is totally different. Hes definitely a dream guy that any girl would want! Second, the character of Erin MacNamera is an extremely admirable one. Shes a very strong, well educated, and caring individual. She picked her life up on her own and moved...
