In the book, Ron Deal makes a strong comparison of divorce and experiencing death noting that they both may take many years to overcome. Because is it easy for one to assume he/she is ready to date and establish a
Eventually when he has the courage to enlist in the war with Brinker Hadley he lets go of the past and gave himself a sigh of relief that he finally found himself.

Kurt was so excited about the promotion that he would call John Sullivan and tell him the great news. John Sullivan and Kurt were good friends that were very comfortable with each family.
Milton Helpern sums death up by stating that “Death may be due to a wide variety of diseases and disorders, but in every case the underlying physiological cause is a breakdown in the body’s oxygen cycle” (pg 67). Not all strokes victims will die. Instead, miniature strokes will little by little arise in physical effects of the body. A wise old woman told Nuland, “Deaths keeps taking little bits of me” (pg 67). The medical report of this woman’s situation says that after every attack she felt a little older and weaker as she became more cautious of walking, forgetful, fragile writing, and life became less significant.
Transcendentalist Journal By: Hunter Farber Letter to Thoreau Part 1: “All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one… characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers.” – Henry David Thoreau Dear Mr. Thoreau, After reading your quote I have to say that I could not agree more with the idea that you present. As I have grown older and become less dependent on those older then me for the things I need I have really learned the value of perseverance and hard work. Although, in my case that realization has come a little late; as the list of tasks I must finish in the coming years grows longer and longer the desire to complete them becomes less and less. I believe that, as you suggest, the ability of one such as myself to “tramp the last mile” is what could set me, or anyone else in my position apart from the rest.
Eighty kilometers by bus is not that far and would not be a journey that would take a long time but when someone is not in shape or not comfortable, he feels everything is taking long time. This is another evidence that Meursault is depressed because of his mother’s death. “I wanted to see Maman right away”, this quote shows that Meursault actually cares about his mom and wants to see her as soon as possible, to see her more. These proofs are all before the start of the funeral, they are when he gets the news, his journey to Marengo and while he is in Marengo. All of these prove that Meursault is feeling sad and when the reader finds them, his view of Meursault changes a
This showed that he is brave able to get himself transportation. Holden was able to take care of himself all these times which shows that he can support the way he lives and will not commit suicide. Holden will not commit suicide because he is social. One time Holden is social is when he went to talk to his teacher. Holden talks to his teacher to say goodbye, since he is leaving Pencey Prep.
Sam’s loss lets him love, and appreciate the rest of his family even more. Just like Guest’s novel, one member of the family has to leave for the boys to fully recover and be happy. George’s death gives Sam motivation and shows him what love and happiness really feels like. “Everybody gets touched by somebody they love” and for Sam, George left a lasting, lifelong
And he replied “I do now my dear. There’s a first time for everything” (Carver 33). I respected Robert for this because he is very open minded and lives life for what it is. He is living with no regrets and just takes it day by day. He was open to life and living and did not take one thing for granted.
Friends and relatives don’t visit as frequently. The part that seems to be the most disheartening is the loneliness that elderly encounter from just being out of the loop of life. Alcohol being a depressant just compounds the loneliness and depression. I really think that the MD’s need to enforce the screening they are doing on the elderly and encourage the patients to be honest in this area. There are 1000’s of meetings for alcoholics all around the world and now there are “Meetings on the Go”.
