When Keckwick appeared one time to collect Arthur, he says “I wouldn’t have left you over the night, wouldn’t have done that to you”. This gives Arthur more questions to ask people as Keckwick doesn’t give Arthur a reason for staying there overnight being so bad. The amount of questions building up on Arthur could isolate him in a way that he can’t quite think straight. Also, Monk’s Piece is isolated as it “stands at the summit of land” far away from any kind of civilization. In the chapter entitled ‘Christmas Eve’ he is in utter darkness as it is late at night.
The odd words, the old words, the rare ones. When they're gone out of his head, these words, they'll be gone, everywhere, forever. As if they had never been. (Atwood, 68) Analysis/Explanation This quote not only identifies Snowman’s first stage as an isolated person but it outlines the importance of words to humanity. Because Snowman has no humans to interact with, he starts to forget words and their meanings.
The author’s second most emphasis is the mental health because living in wilderness and getting his own food, the character has to think differently. The main character’s name is Brian Robeson. He gets stranded in the wilderness and has to overcome many obstacles dealing with his health, especially physical health. Since he is stranded with no food he must find his own which is very difficult and he copes with this by working harder than he ever has. His mental and intellectual health is also affected because he now has no contact with anything but the wilderness and needs to change his mindset on how to find food and how to survive.

According to the story, the “trouble” with the man is that he is “without imagination” and therefore never speculates about “man’s place in the universe,” his “frailty in general,” or the fact that people are “able only to live within certain narrow limits of temperature.” Yet during his trek the man is confronted again and again by his weakness as a lone individual against the formidable power of nature in the form of the brutal cold. Each time he removes his gloves, the man is surprised at how quickly his fingers are numbed. He is also startled at how fast his nose and cheeks freeze, and he is amazed when his spittle freezes in midair before it ever hits the snow. When the man stops for lunch, his feet go numb almost as soon as he sits still, a fact that finally begins to frighten him. Even the dog—who is half-wild and thus closer to nature—feels “depressed” by the cold.
Scott did not have insight in to the trip. Unfortunately being a leader can meanwhen you fail the followers fail too. Amundsen’s team died because of the lack of planning. The Law of Navigation tells us that when we lead people we have to plan and do research of our destination, because not only we want to be successful but we have the lives of our followers to be mindful
Loneliness 12/19/13 Loneliness is a long tunnel of pain, but there is not always light at the end of the road. When John Steinbeck introduces George Milton and Lennie Small he depicts a portrait of hope for the reader. The book shows us that even though there is not always that light of hope at the end of the road, for these two ranch hands their long struggle will pay off if they finally reach the end of the tunnel, the place they have always striven for, the dream. “Guys like us are the loneliest guys in the world, they got no family, they don’t belong no place”, George tells Lennie. The ranch workers also known as “Guys like us” are invariably single men without friends or family, who have very unstable jobs and are always leaving the ranch to move onto the next ranch.
| One More Step | | | Joshua Jeffries | Regis University | | Just one more step, but I am so exhausted from the long trip I’ve endured already. The lure of the destination seems to have been forgotten somewhere in the dark haze of last night. Yes, it’s morning now and another day’s journey is laid out ahead, but I can’t muster the energy to heave this bag of tools back onto my shoulders. They seem like such a waste! All these tools were prepared with such care before I left.

I viewed myself as a quitter or failure; I couldn’t finish something again. Then my second child came into the world, and I sat back and looked at my children, my family, and my friends that look up to me. How can they lookup to someone that couldn’t even finish her college classes? [INTRODUCING THE SUBJECT]So after many hours of consideration, I have decided to return to college in hopes to obtain my degree for several reasons.
