I get awful lonely.” (86). She is trying to guilt Lennie into talking to her by telling him about how lonely she is. She is so lonely that she is taking advantage of Lennie’s mental disability and tricking him into talking to her. She is desperate to talk to anyone she can, even if it is Lennie, who has no idea what she is talking about. Curley’s Wife is a very isolated
Loneliness for some is a dull beginning of a bright future, and for others, it is unfortunate and eternal. In The Shipping News by Annie Proulx, Quoyle is a character who suffers through a boundless amount of loneliness that exists in many forms. He becomes lonely as he is involved in a one-way relationship and also exhibits the feeling of isolation when he is singled out by society. Similarly, the life experiences of a narrator in an anonymous writer’s poem, Bow Down Your Head and Cry, closely resemble the isolation and hardships that Quoyle is forced to suffer through. The narrator experiences loneliness and great difficulties coping with the separation of his loved one and additionally felt isolated as he was alienated from society.
Solitude vivifies; isolation kills. Through out life in this crazy mind ridden world, people find themselves isolated. Isolation rears its ugly head in various forms and can often be unexpected. Whether it be personal gain unachieved, or conflicts of love or hate, people deal with this sort of abandonment. Self created or felt from another persons doing, this separation of ones being must be dealt with.
Depression is often described by, complaints of sadness, hopelessness, and despair. This can occur at any age and if left untreated it can result in suicide. A person feels helpless, thinks their life does not matter. A major depressive disorder consists of at least one episode of serious mood depression accompanied by a number of changes in behavior. Complaints frequently include a loss of interest and pleasure, and withdrawal from activities.
Crooks often talks about his loneliness and how that the more lonely people get the more “mean” and “sick” they become. This relates closely to Curley’s wife because her character is seen as very malicious and sometimes angry. But once she is dead, the “meanness and the plannings and discontent…were all gone
For this reason Quindlen wrote, the lives of children who do not have enough downtime for family talks will miss this beneficial asset for families (151). Another benefit of proper downtime is more time for family bonding moments. Quindlen stated that in some parts of America families are scheduling downtime to benefit their children and create family bonding moments (152). Children benefit greatly when they have the proper amount of downtime for family talks and bonding moments. Having the time to experience the joys of childhood is another beneficial element of proper downtime.
Even if you think that you are the last person your kids are going to look to for advice regarding how they should conduct themselves, the reality is that your children are likely to emulate the behaviors that they see you and your spouse actively engaging in. A Cure for Teen Boredom? To help your teenagers stay occupied when they are not in school, encourage their participation in projects that will keep them busy and out of trouble. Try to get your kids interested in after school activities that are supervised by adults. This is particularly important for kids who are home alone for a few hours every day after school, as school sponsored activities will help children to stay occupied and will keep their minds actively engaged.
The Study of George It was the writer Joss Wheldon who said, “Loneliness leads to nothing good, only detachment. And sometimes the people who most need to reach out are the people least capable of it.” This shows that those who are lonely are those who are scared to speak out about it. Loneliness affects us all. It frightens people so much they can’t say anything about it. This is like the Great Depression when people just carried on with their lives not caring for others just for themselves.
From the very beginning of the story, she is clearly unhappy and suffers plenty. She is destitute by her father whom she is obviously afraid of. This is most likely the result of some psychological trauma she received in her childhood, for “even now, though she was over nineteen, she sometimes felt herself in danger of her father’s violence” (pg. 4) and she seems to have already suffered from act of
These “perceived deficits”, I then call “frozen needs” that “victims” then hanker after getting met for the rest of their lives. These “frozen needs” then give rise to a sense of “neediness” (or “love-starvation”) which gives rise to repetitious attempts to satisfy that “neediness” which, when they fail or are only partially successful, give rise to feelings of “loneliness”, even if that those feelings of “loneliness” are substantially out of awareness. And, from chronic experiences of “loneliness” are born “obsessions”, “compulsions” and “addictions”. These “obsessions”, “compulsions” and “addictions” then conspire to make real “empathy” and “intimacy” difficult, if not impossible, creating new “victims” of “need deficit” and conspiring to keep existing “victims” stuck. Good Enough Parents, Empathy, Intimacy and Life Skills “Good enough parents” (and other adult care-providers, including schoolteachers) will always find ways of ensuring a child’s “core needs” are “well enough met” long before such “unmet needs” become intolerable to the child.
