➢ Leonis"I want to turn the whole thing upside down."
gender;
➢ malewhat's wrong?
➢ "Failure. Idiot. Good for nothing. How can
school be so hard? I thought I was doing
okay, but my grades have only sunk lower
and lower. I can't tell my parents, they'd
be so disappointed, and I can't tell my
friends, they'll think I'm pathetic. I'm on
my own. I can do this. It should be easy.
But everything is just so tiring. I need to
study more, revise, finish every scrap of
work given to me, even if I don't understand
a single word of it. I'll give it my all, even if
it kills me. I have to get through school. This
is just a phase. I'll understand the work soon.
Easy. Less time with friends, less time with
family, plenty of time to work. If I can
just
stay
awake.
…
I can do this.
Sleep is for the weak."
how does it affect him?
➢ Turns out that sleep is actually pretty
essential. When you don't get enough sleep,
your body reacts in several different ways.
As Leonis starts to spend more time studying
instead of sleeping, he finds it more and more
difficult to pay attention, and even finds it
hard to process or remember information that
has been presented to him. His relationship
with his family and friends grows strained, as
the lack of sleep makes him more emotional,
moody, and short-tempered. Even though he
has been staying up late to do school work and
study, he's finding that the effects of sleep
deprivation has made it even harder to work,
and even harder to pay attention in school.
Everything's going wrong, and he's having
trouble calming down.comfort song;
➢ "who's to say what's impossible
well they forgot, this world keeps spinning
and with each new day
i can feel a change in everything
and as the surface breaks, reflections fade
but in some ways, they remain the same
and as my mind begins to spread its wings
there's no stopping curiosity
i want to turn the whole thing upside down
i'll find the things they say just can't be found
i'll share this love i find with everyone
we'll sing and dance to mother nature's songs
i don't want this feeling to go away
who's to say, i can't do everything
well i can try
and as i roll along i begin to find
things aren't always just what they seem
i want to turn the whole thing upside down
i'll find the things they say just can't be found
i'll share this love i find with everyone
we'll sing and dance to mother nature's songs
this world keeps spinning
and there is not time to waste
will it all keep spinning spinning round and round and
upside down
who's to say what's impossible and can't be found
i don't want this feeling to go away
please don't go away
please don't go away
please don't go away
please don't go away
is this how it's supposed to be?
is this how it's supposed to be?"
- Upside Down, Jack Johnsonhow does he deal with it?
➢ It may seem pretty cliche, but
Leonis really does find comfort
in songs from his childhood. Not
only does it calm him down by
allowing him to just sit and
listen for a couple of minutes,
but the soothing music and
memories of his time growing
up actually make it easier for
him to drift off, and catch a
few hours of sleep, something
that, at this point, he very much
needs. While Leonis still
deeply believes that he should
be studying and working, finally
being able to sleep is making
him realize how much he needs
it, and how much the lack of it
was making him irritable and
distant.
what is there to be afraid of?phonophobia;
➢ the fear of loud sounds.
Leonis finds that, though
he can usually handle expected
and often heard noises, he
finds that sounds that he
doesn't anticipate leaves
him skittish and even sort
of shaken.soteriophobia;
➢ the fear of dependence on others.
Leonis isn't afraid of having close
friendships or being with his family,
but he doesn't want to have to depend
on those around him to survive or
grow.atychiphobia;
➢ the fear of failure.
Self-explanatory. Leonis doesn't
expect to do everything perfectly,
but he lacks so much confidence
in what he does that he's almost
scared to try new things.
