For class today you read Mrs. Kelly's Monster by Franklin. Do you think this is a profile? If so, who is it a profile of? Why? Give an example from the text to support your answer.
I beleive this story was a profile of her against "the monster" , that's causing her pain . It is a profile of her battle with a brain problem , her struggle with it , and what measures she took to end her pain . The story of Mrs.Kelly is more then just an interview or biography of her life , it is an aspect of her life that effected it tremendously. When she is describing the monster , she describes it as a person who appeared in her life and caused her problems, to the point where she would take any chance to face the monster even if it kills her. In the text when it says "I'm scared to death but there isn't a day that I'm not in pain, and I'm tired of it" , she is exhausted and is desperate to change her circumstances. This profile took the aspect of her struggles with the disease and showed the outcome of it . - Sherley Sidney
I believe this is a profile of the Doctor working on Mrs. Kelly. Although Mrs. Kelly is the one going through so much pain and is having the procedure done, while reading I felt that the writer focusses more on what Dr. Ducker did for Mrs. Kelly, than on what Mrs. Kelly was all about.
I can see why you thought that it was a profile story about Mrs. Kelly. However, in my opinion I think that this story is about Dr. Ducker dealing with the surgery of Mrs. Kelly. His final thoughts conclude the story, and it shows the hardships that a surgeon face during these difficult situations.
This story is a profile about Dr. Thomas Barbee Ducker. Based on the entirety of the story, most of it is discussing what the Dr. is doing, surgically, on his patient, who we learn is Mrs. Kelly. Although Mrs. Kelly is introduced, we are given little background on who she really is. Dealing with this incredible issue in her brain that has affected her life for so long, there are a few pages mainly dedicated to what the Dr. Ducker is planning to do for Mrs. Kelly, what he does do, and of course, what he cannot do, save her life. Based on instances that state, "Dr. Ducker now begins following the Circle of Willis back into the brain, toward the second and more difficult aneurism that swells at the very rear of the circle, tight against the most sensitive and primitive structure in the head." That entire sentence is pulled from a full page of the procedure Dr. Ducker has to do on Mrs. Kelly. This profile shows everything Dr. Ducker has to do on an everyday basis. Sure, Mrs. Kelly's is a special and rare procedure, but the writer focuses on what Dr. Ducker is doing.
I believe this is a profile about the Doctor VS the "monster." Mrs. Kelly is the patient having the surgery done. However I feel the story gives my detail and attention to telling the Doctor's story and telling about his battle against the "monster." This is why I feel the profile is on The Doctor and his battle then on Mrs. Kelly.
I believe that this particular profile is on Dr. Ducker. What we discussed in class about how to execute a proper profile, stepping into that person's world, is how you can truly capture who the person is in writing. This article dives into the operating room, which is Dr. Ducker's world. The surgical gloves, the medical instruments, and the monitor sounding his patient's heart beat is what he knows and where he is most comfortable. He is defined by his occupation as a surgeon. He saves lives. He fixes lives. That is a part of who he is. Almost every sentence of this article is a description of what Dr. Ducker is performing on Mrs. Kelly's brain. For example, "It is Dr. Ducker's intention to place tiny, spring-loaded alligator clips across the base of each aneurism. But first he must navigate a tortured from his incision, above Mrs. Kelly's right eye, to the deeply buried Circle of Willis," (p.4). If this was a profile on the patient, Mrs. Kelly, I think that the article would go into depth on how Mrs. Kelly dealt with her "monster" and how she prepared for this life or death surgery.
I agree with you that this piece is much more a profile of Dr. Ducker than anything else. You make a good point about how the reading dives deeply into this aspect of his life, so that the reader can experience it. We can understand his environment and the internal struggles he faces as someone who is responsible for saving lives, and how being a surgeon defines his life.
I agree with you, really looking into the article. That there is more detail on the doctor that they really did dive into the operating room and everything that happened there. I could picture the whole scene in my head as I read this article. With the doctor in the operating room doing the surgery the heart beat and everything else they described. I felt like I was right there with the doctor trying to attack that monster with him.
I believe this profile is Dr. Ducker against the "monster." The story illustrates this by using numerous quotes and phrases. One important quote that explains this is, "If Mrs. Kelly recovers, says Dr. Ducker, he'll go ahead and try to deal with the monster itself." If the profile was on Mrs. Kelly then the story would have given more details and important background information om Mrs. Kelly. The story would given information on her life before the surgery and before she got the "monster."
You make an interesting point about how this profile is more focused on the battle between Mrs. Kelly's "monster" and Dr. Ducker. I personally never thought of it this way, but I think that the article provides enough evidence to prove your point. There were many moments within the text that concentrated on how the "monster" was preventing Dr. Ducker from executing his job completely and caused the frustration and defeat that the doctor felt.
This story definitely reveals more about Dr. Ducker and his personal life and struggles as a surgeon than it does the single aspect of Mrs. Kelly's life, which is the struggle with her "monster". Although the reader can learn much about Dr. Ducker's experiences as a surgeon through this reading, I do not see this piece to be a profile on Dr. Ducker or Mrs. Kelly, but a narrative about a surgeon and a patient. Although I know who Dr. Ducker is as a surgeon from this reading, I do not feel as though I know anything else about him outside of the operating room, and with these missing pieces of information it seems to be more of just a short story being told.The play by play of what occurs in the operating room is much more of a narrative style of writing rather than a profile, in my opinion.
I do like your approach on this. I never really considered this piece to not be a profile, since that is what we are learning about, but I like your take on it.
I believe this article is a profile, I believe it’s a profile of the Dr. Duckers. The whole article goes in to great detail about Dr. Ducker’s job and what he does for a living. It also goes into great detail with him explaining what routes he can and can’t go through to try to get the aneurisms without causing problem or even death. Another part of the article that makes me believe that it’s a profile on the doctor, is every time they go and explain how he is going to attack the monsters they always give times of the event happening. “When Dr. Ducker Bites, grimly, into the sandwich.” And says “The Monster won”.(p5) This quote makes me believe that the profile was on the doctor because through the whole article he explains how he didn’t want the monster to win. He would try everything he could to make sure it wouldn’t win. He tried many different ways, tools anything that he thought would help him overcome one of his many surgeries that he does in the course of his career. Then he says the monster won. He tried so hard for that monster not win. If there was equal amount of details between the doctor and Mrs. Kelly I would have had a hard time deciding on who the profile was on.
I completely agree with your take one the profile. I love how they ended with stating that the monster won, I think it said a lot about the writer and Dr. Decker. It was a strong way to end the article and a tragic way to end Dr. Decker's profile and Mrs Kelly's life. It also proved that this profile really was about Dr Decker because it shows how defeated he was after this surgery, after he tried so hard to fight for this patients life and case.
I do believe this article is a profile, specifically a profile about Dr. Decker. The article constantly reiterated how focused and dedicated of a doctor he is. It describes how careful he was during the surgery and how he just kept pushing through regardless of how exhausted he was or what obstacles got in his way. The profile also made it clear how passionate of a doctor he was. Specifically it stated, "I reviewed it in my own heart and with other people, and I thought about the patient. You weigh what happens if you do it against what happens if you don't do it. I convinced myself it should be done", and that showed how much time and heart he put into his work. The profile stated he went around to so many other doctors and had memorized her scans. He dedicated his life to his patients and that says everything about him.
I agree with your post. I like that you mentioned that "the doctor dedicated his life to his patients and that says everything about him." I read this article in a more cynical light. I found that the doctor viewed Death as a competition, rather than an act of selflessness. I believe that this article is meant to be vague, and there is a different meaning for everyone.
Although I can see why people would argue between this profile being about Dr. Ducker or Mrs. Kelly, I believe this profile was written about "the monster". It goes into detail explaining about the origin of the monster, and how it's grown, and what it does now. More importantly, profiles are written about a certain angle from whomever they are writing about. In this profile, it focuses on what the monster does to Mrs. Kelly's life. It then supports itself by getting secondary people (Mrs. Kelly and Dr. Ducker) to comment on the monster's life.
Sarah, that's a really interesting angle to look at things. I sided with the profile being centered around Dr. Ducker, however, after reading your response I think a strong argument could certainly be made about the monster as well.
Throughout reading the article, I did not find "Mrs. Kelly's Monster" to be a traditional profile, however, I believe the story closely profiled Dr. Ducker and Death. It seems as though the doctor and Death are inevitable rivals. As a result, the doctor has a problem with dealing with reality. Even the patient stated she would be better off dying, rather than be in pain. The doctor needs to understand that he has to accept Death, even though it is his job to battle against it. The text shares, "Dr. Ducker bites, grimly, into the sandwich. The monster won." In other words, this reveals the competition between the doctor and Death. Death is something that Dr. Ducker will never win, cure, or prevent. It seems that the doctor has a problem with accepting reality and the cycle of life. Overall, this article highlights an ongoing problem in a cyclical light.
I believe Jon Franklin's piece is a profile story about a doctor, Dr. Ducker, dealing with the removal life-threatening aneurysm. The reason why I believe that is a profile story about Dr. Ducker and not Mrs. Kelly because he is in introduction and his thoughts conclude the story. The story ends with "Dr. Ducker bites, grimly, into the sandwich. The monster won." Dr. Ducker did not save the life of Mrs. Kelly. This article gives the outlook on the difficult life of a surgeon and the hardships that they face when they are unable to save a patient.
Jon Franklin’s article stands as a profile of Dr. Thomas Ducker, Mrs. Kelly’s brain surgeon. Fitting the description of a profile, the article includes details of Dr. Ducker’s background while capturing a particular side of the surgeon. Franklin’s work makes a statement about the doctor, what he represents, and what he contributes to the world. Creating a backdrop of the world Dr. Ducker occupies, the author notes the minute details of Ducker’s domain including the “brain surgery microscope, the circulating nurses laying out out bandages and instruments” as well as the “loudspeaker producing an audible popping sound...which dominates the room.” While much of the article goes on to narrate the specifics of the Mrs. Kelly’s procedure, the article is highly focused and ends by giving the reader a lasting impression of Dr. Ducker. When finally defeated by “the monster” he states, “There’s an old dictum in medicine, if you can’t help, don’t do any harm. Let nature take its course. We may have already hurt her. Too many times.” Expressed here are the aspects of limitation, defeat, and helplessness involved in Ducker’s profession. The quote also signifies the doctor’s humanistic nature.
Kelly, I agree with what you say about Dr. Ducker. The quote that you chose stood out to me as well. Although it is about the procedure that Mrs. Kelly goes through, it is profiling that the doctor is human and has those feelings to do his best not to hurt, or kill her during surgery. His profession is very difficult and emotional, and this profile does a great showing the inside look of what he goes through during surgery.
Mrs. Kelly's Monster by Franklin is a profile. Although it is not exactly how I imagined a profile to be, I understand that this is a different view on how a profile can be written. The profile is about the doctor, Dr. Ducker. The focus of the story is Mrs. Kelly's "Monster" or Malformation as stated, but the profile is all about Dr. Ducker's work as a surgeon that he preforms on Mrs. Kelly. The profile goes into detail about the surgery and how the doctor is feeling, what he is seeing and hearing, and emotions attached to the procedure. The great detail of the surgery emphasis what is happening during this. The "popping" onomatopoeia that is repeated throughout does a great job showing what is going through Dr. Ducker's head throughout the surgery. His actions and thoughts that are described shows how this is a profile about the doctor. For example, "Now as he searches for the second aneurism, he momentarily loses his way in glistening gray tissue." Although he is a surgeon and preforms these procedures daily, it shows that he is still a human and has these strong feelings and thoughts.
Mrs. Kelly's monster is Jon Franklin's profile on a neurosurgeon named Dr. Ducker. It's written as a chronological narrative, and follows a women from the moment she has an aneurism, to the key moments of the following brain surgery. The use of repetition and gorey imagery makes you feel like your in the room watching the surgery happen.
In the reading "Mrs. Kelly's Monster" by Jon Franklin, I believe that it is a profile and that the profile is of Mrs. Kelly. Although I understand the various opinions that people have, whether it be that Dr. Ducker or the Monster be the main topic of the profile, I believe that the concise and very specific details that Franklin gives about Mrs. Kelly make this a profile of her rather than anyone else. Mrs. Kelly in my opinion is the main character of this reading, as everything is revolving around her. Although details are given about Dr. Ducker, Mrs. Kelly is described far more frequently and thoroughly in the reading, which therefore leads me to believe it is a profile about her, rather than the doctor.
I beleive this story was a profile of her against "the monster" , that's causing her pain . It is a profile of her battle with a brain problem , her struggle with it , and what measures she took to end her pain . The story of Mrs.Kelly is more then just an interview or biography of her life , it is an aspect of her life that effected it tremendously.
