A main example from the book is that Melinda kept this huge secret held inside. She was too fearful to share it with anyone so instead she decided to keep it her secret. This turned out to be extremely detremental to her well being. It caused her grades to drop, she became an intravert, not wanting to speak to anyone or function properly as a teenager, she isolated herself from others and had no motivation to do anything. Melinda turned from being a loving young lady who had a close relationship with her parents to a recluse who became distant to her parents, friends and everyone.
As a child (and even now when Allison is a teenager,) Allison feels alone and isolated in a hostile environment because her parents and (and even her peers,) are not caring towards her, hence the reason why she is so reserved and sensitive. Horney also theorized that there are ways that humans search for security in life, and one of them is moving towards people. It is evident that Allison does this because she does attention-seeking actions such as pouring the all the contents from her purse, squealing and banging her head against the table. This is to seek affection and recognition from others to build meaningful, and useful relationships so that she does not feel helpless or
Because Hester is isolated, she has no one to talk to, so she thinks about things a little differently than everyone else. Pearl, the daughter of Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale, is affected by the isolation because she isn’t like a normal child. Arthur Dimmesdale suffers the consequences of isolation because he isn’t true to himself
The sunshine represents the good in someone and the shadows symbolize the knowledge that Caitlin lacks about Billy and that she is an outsider in Billy’s home. The polysyndeton ‘...and says “thanks” and that’s when I turn and run” tells a lot about Caitlin’s way of looking at someone. Even though Caitlin doesn’t wish to, she belongs to mainstream society, and this influences how she judges someone. These techniques have shown that through the environment she grew up in and the connection she has with her parents, Caitlin still does not completely understand Billy’s way of life. This impacts her sense of belonging with
Firstly, let’s discuss cats. Cats by nature are independent, solitary animals. This isn’t to say that they make poor companions; it’s just saying they aren’t very needy in the level of attention they require. The key thing to note about a cat’s demeanor is that they do what they want to, when they want to, and how they want to. Cats could not care less how much you beg, plead, or bride them; your purpose is to please them not the other way around.
She is also a loner with no friends and I myself don’t have a large amount of friends. In the beginning of the novel Melinda seems like a loner with no friends, and a little insecure, “As we leave the last stop, I am the only person sitting alone”(3) She is always alone except for sometimes she hangs out with this new girl Heather. Melinda also has nothing good to ever say about herself. Melinda changes throughout the novel due to all the stress she goes through. It makes he stronger with conflicts she goes through.
Curley’s wife explained to Lennie about being lonely and how difficult it is on her. “’I get lonely… You can talk to people, but I talk to nobody but Curley. Else he gets mad’” [Steinbeck 78]. Curley’s wife never has anyone to talk to; when she gets the chance she often ruins the mood. She did not want Lennie to hurt her, but Lennie is very unpredictable.
Jane Campion directed, produced, and wrote the film The Piano. She can be considered to be an auteur because she wrote the script herself. There were a lot of slow motion effects towards the end of the movie, particularly in the scenes with “Ada” and her husband. The most dramatic was when “Ada” gets her finger chopped off by her husband. There were not swooping camera movements over the sexual scenes in the movie.
Sally’s relationship with her computer is how she expresses herself since she is a shy person. She does not want people to think that she is crazy and has lost her mind when she speaks loudly to her mom. This relationship with electronics is her way of feeling that her mom is still around. Some people can’t express their feelings out loud but can by keeping so sort of journal and this is Sally’s way of communicating. I believe the nature of this relationship between Sally and her computer is a negative relationship.
Emily's Isolation Having to deal with someone who is in their own world, their own different state of mind rather than the regular thoughts people have is difficult. Emily Grierson seems to be a woman who keeps to herself, and those who are closest to her such as her father, Tobe, and at one point Homer Barron; once those ones who are close to her vanish she resorts to closing off her life in eventual complete isolation from the outside world until her death. Emily being the way she is, it makes the townspeople want to have an understanding for her situation, but they cannot seem ti find a way to put up with the consequences from the way she acts around the people of the town ans also how she treats them. The townspeople all come a census of something they don't like of Emily and go to the Board of Aldermen and ask them to do something about the problem that she is
