Crooks feels left out and unwanted, when he hears about Lennie and George's dream, he desires to join to find a better life. A life where he wouldn't feel judged and isolated. Loneliness affects the thoughts and behaviors of Curley's wife, Candy, and Crooks. It also causes them to desire a better life outside the ranch. Curley's wife looks for attention in other people, Candy feels that he is uncared for, and Crooks is treated in a way that he does not deserve.

The Ministers Black Veil and Nature How do they compare or do they compare? Both of these stories could fall in the romanticism line. Actual outdoor nature and human nature are both mysterious.

In today’s society we can compare Brave New World’s drug soma, for love. We are all blindsided when we first fall madly in love, we can not get a real look at the world or ourselves because of what our heart is telling us we see or know. Soma is the same way to the people in the reservation; it makes them believe the people, like the director, who are in charge of the reservations. They get to where they do not ask questions for their selves and just believe everything they are taught and told. They are utterly confused by the actual world that they just become too lazy to really try to understand what is going on, just like we become too lazy in love to look past it and take in what we are actually doing.

Transcendentalists considered nature and the soul intimately linked. Transcendentalists found comfort and divinity in the rhythms and seasons of the natural world. Despite the increased industrialization in the world in which they lived, the search for meaning in nature was of great importance (Francis pg.7). Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Fuller, Melville, and others saw possibility, freedom, and purity in nature. Emerson’s definition of God and meaning is clearly different than that of the conservative Unitarian Church from which he split (Francis 4).
T TH 11:00 People tend to be unsatisfied with what is acquired in life. Life can be wasted by never being content with what is attained and by always hoping for something unattainable. Taking for granted the meaningful parts of existence is human nature, but can be avoided by remembering to nurture the real blessings in life. In August Wilson’s play “Fences” Troy Maxson shows that discontentment and greed will ultimately lead to a life of emptiness. Troy Maxson’s discontentment in his marriage ultimately led to the dissolution of it.
It is purely human nature to be disturbed by the slowest of all runners, Death.

Walt Whitman also felt this loss of direction when Abraham Lincoln died, and he dealt with it by writing “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d.” In this poem, Whitman incorporates Lincoln’s legacy and his won personal feelings through the vivid imagery of lilacs and the symbolism of the hermit thrush. Whitman’s elegy bears many commonalities to Lincoln’s life. At the beginning of both the poem and Lincoln’s life, he was born on a farm, “near an old farmhouse” (Whitman 12).
