Mushroom hunting is a family activity, and it is always wise to hunt as a group. A simple checklist before hunting will save time and aggravation. Dressing for the outdoor weather and surroundings, protects against disease-carrying ticks and mosquitoes. Having a cell phone, walkie-talkie or gps (global positioning system) are helpful in remote areas. Mushrooms can be collected using a knife and a basket or mesh bag.

Staff members at the center locate him in the city of Freetown in Sierra Leone and arrange for him to visit. Although Ishmael wants to feel happy that he has a family connection, he remains cautious, explaining, “I was still hesitant to let myself let go, because I still believed in the fragility of happiness” (Beah, 173). He describes feeling happy as “letting go” as though he restrains himself from the release of his forced emotional void. Moreover, he describes believing happiness to be fragile, although the “still” suggests that he learns to believe otherwise. In the absence of any paternal figure in a member of his family, the presence of his uncle helps Ishmael to reestablish a sense of family.
This is why the relationship is seen as very rare because of the dependency and how they were uncommonly united by their shared dream of a better life on a farm, where they can “live off the fatta the lan” as Lennie puts it. George articulates this vision by repeatedly telling the ‘story’ of the future farm to his companion; Lennie who believes unquestioningly in their dream and his faith enables George to imagine the possibility of this dream becoming reality. However, George’s belief in it depends upon Lennie, for as soon as Lennie dies, George’s hopes for a brighter future
This theme of happiness through simplicity with nature weaves itself throughout Into the Wild. The dominant tone of the work can be described as factual, a voice of conflicting emotion. On one hand we hear Chris’ excitement, happiness, and hope as he heads out on his adventure “into the wild”, but on the other we hear his desperate hopelessness as he physically deteriorates. The reporter style of the book makes this contrast obvious, but lessens the emotional side of the story. As a reader you often forget that this is a true story; yet as powerful as it is you do not laugh or cry like you might with another book.
The Brotherhood is non existent to many of the citizens of Oceania because to them there is no one better than Big Brother and Ingsoc, but to Winston Smith it would be his savior and in his heart he wished for it to be true. “The conspiracy that he had dreamed of did exist, and he had reached the outer edges of it” (II.VII.16). At this point in the novel, Winston was at his happiest, as the on the savior to him did exist. He believed by joining the Brotherhood he would escape the outer party and be closer to what the inner party was receiving. He wanted a better life where
Although the general tone of the poem is negative at first – where the persona feels he has to “drag his body behind” (1st stanza) – as his journey progresses and as he begins to find remnants of his childhood in Darwin, it becomes one of happiness. The free-verse structure allows the composer to express his thoughts about the journey much easier as he is not restricted by the rhyme or to a certain number of syllables per line – just as the persona is not restricted to one place, he travels the world and is limitless.
Belonging to certain groups has its benefits, by which we gain a sense of security, confidence and the feeling of having a place in this world. Our Friends and imitate relationships we make with others are one of the strongest groups we belong to by choice. The Groups we choose to belong to are because of shared values, interests, appearance and so on, which in return gives us the sense we belong and connection to others. In Stephan Chbosky’s novel ‘The perks of being a wallflower’ , Charlie was an outsider and never did fit in until one day he found himself belonging to group. “I just remember walking between them and feeling for the first time that I belonged somewhere”.
Although Henry has learned to like his surroundings, he is cut off from the traditional values of home and family. In My Antonia even though Antonia learned the ways of American people and enjoyed hanging out with Jim, she dearly missed her country and wanted to go back. She told Jim time to time about her country and described him all the places as if she never left the place. Hemingway’s “hero” Fredrick Henry tries to enjoy and only remember the good part about the war and tries not to worry about the bad parts. Only to remember the good part but not the bad parts (McConnell 3).
