The Yearling, by Marjorie Rawlings, illustrates how Jody's sense of responsibility helped him to resolve his conflict between meeting his own need to raise the fawn and meeting his family's need for survival. Jody enjoyed the responsibilities of raising the fawn. Jody went looking for moss, grass, and leaves to make a bed for the fawn the first night he got him.

The fence that surrounds and protects her garden “from cattle and dogs and chickens” (Steinbeck 55) also describes her strength because it symbolizes a guard which Elisa puts up to protect her from a man bringing her down. The garden, her Chrysanthemums, her attire, and the fence all symbolize her strength. The “repair man” is a dirty, poor, and uneducated man as it clearly shows from his “crazy, loose-jointed wagon” with “clumsy crooked letters” saying “‘Pots, pans, knives, sisors, lawn mores, Fixed’” (Steinbeck 256). Although this man is unattractive, Elisa takes interest

His sense of belonging also comes from his close connection to his Polish friends who "reminisced about farms where paddocks flowered and “Horses they bred" The accumulation of positive verbs conveys a sense of their longing and shared pride in their cultural heritage that brings them together Peter doesn’t choose not to belong with his father's Polish friends but rather looks on as he can’t connect with the place they talk about. The negative connotations of "violently" create a sense of his alienation from them. When Peter says he "never got used to" the friends' "formal address" of his father he is further suggesting his disconnection of not belonging with his father's heritage. Instead, he is "stumbling over tenses in Caesar's Gallic War", forgetting his "first Polish word."

Jus’ milk the cow and sling some grain to the chickens an’ go to her” (Steinbeck61). To the modern day reader this does not seem like much because they are used to such freedoms; however, in the 1930’s for the men working on a ranch it was nothing but their most treasured desire.
