An archetype is an original pattern or model of all things of the same type of representations. For example the book and movie “ The Tragedy of Julius Caesar has three types of archetypes such as character, situational, and symbolic.

 

Character archetype is the hero and in this story the tragic hero was Julius who meets a mysterious death, and then Brutus becomes king, and returns to kingdom to right his wrongs. Brutus plans to help kills Caesar and he only help’s because Cassius’s conned him into believing that Caesar was too ambitious and needed to be taken down. Brutus helped by bringing Caesar to the place where he would be brought to his death. Modern example of character archetype is the movie Harry Potter it represents the hero archetype because he had the responsibility of keeping the world safe from evil, and he stays brave even though he know he faces death. Harry defeats death, complete his mission, and never acts from his true self, despite everything he faces.

 

Situational archetype is the appearance of something over and over again. In the tragedy of Julius Caesar signs kept popping up for Caesar not to go to the place of the senators. They signs were the flattery, bird imagery, natural elements, & astrology, water elements, and blood. Modern example the movie Harry Potter’s scar was an imprint on the target casted upon and acted as if it was a warning. Voldemort tried to kill Harry, but since Lilly’s love protect him the curse backfired and killed Voldemort instead.

 

Symbolic archetypes usually appear in pairs because the mind tends to think in terms of opposites, or they appear in dreams and can be interpreted, and can be in a deep meaning and truth in movies and literature. Caesar’s wife Calpurnia dreamt that she saw his statue, which looked like a fountain with a hundred spouts, with blood pouring with Romans smiling and bathing their hands and begged for him to stay home. Modern example is the movie Frozen Queen Elsa had powers she knew she was not supposed to go out of the house because her powers could be very dangerous. When her sister came to save her she there was a vision of what was going to happen to her if they didn’t save her.

–Hypothermia is the condition of having an abnormally low body temperature, typically one that is dangerously low. Cold exposure causes hypothermia when the balance between the body’s heat production and heat loss tips towards heat loss for a prolonged period, hypothermia can occur. Accidental hypothermia usually happens after cold temperature exposure without enough warm dry, clothing for protection. A position to minimize heat loss is the heat escape lessening position (HELP) to reduce heat lose while you wait for assistance. Hold your knees to your chest to protect the trunk of your body. You can prevent hypothermia by wearing protective covering like a hat, mittens, boots, and layers but loose-fitting and lightweight clothing to keep the body heat from escaping. Avoid activities that would cause you to sweat. Stay as dry as possible. Some symptoms of hypothermia are shivering, clumsiness, slurred speech, or mumbling, confusion, drowsiness, nausea, fatigue, increased heart rate, lack of coordination, hunger. Other causes, certain medical conditions such as diabetes and thyroid conditions, some medications, severe trauma, or using drugs or alcohol increase the risk of hypothermia. Some risk factors that can increase hypothermia from developing are older age, very young age, mental problems, alcohol and drug use, and medications. They are ways to treat hypothermia such as handling them gently and limit their movement, move the person into a dry location, use a first aid warm compress it’s a plastic fluid-filled bag that warms up when squeezed or makeshift compress of warm water in a plastic bottle or a dryer- warm towel, Apply the compress only to neck and chest.
