The neighbor repeatedly says in the poem, “Mending Wall,” “Good fences make good neighbors” (Frost, Line 27). The neighbor believes that although two people can be friendly neighbors a barrier is needed to separate them and the wall is the barrier that protects the personal space and privacy of the individual. The neighbor’s property represents his privacy and the wall acts as a barrier against any intrusion. Similarly, in “Revenge Gardening,” Marion suggests that her neighbors need curtains to protect their personal space and privacy. Marion said to her neighbors, Colleen and Claire, “Those large picture windows of yours are so… revealing” (Harper, Page 65).
It symbolized human beliefs, human consequences and conformity. The forest, on the other hand, was a place of natural rather than human authority and law. The forest symbolized individuality – the people could escape Puritan society and rules. When Hester and Dimmesdale met in the forest, it “revealed to each heart its history and experience,” (171; ch 17) bringing them back to themselves and opening up their inner love. The differences between the two places show the necessity of social order and interaction, while still maintaining the ability to remain true to oneself and one’s beliefs, which can be hard while surrounded by conformist people.
She also put him at risk when she had Louis living with her and she did not call the police when Louis physically abused Andy while Hope was at work. Louis beat Andy with an electrical cord on his back and buttock. The opinion is that Hope did try to protect Andy from many things. She would tell him to stay with her, she made sure she held his hand when they went somewhere, but that was not enough. The thing that Hope was protecting Andy from was the voices in her head.
I have to act in the person’s best interest but instead of encouraging them to avoid risks I have to support them and enable them to taking part in activities. I have to act in the individuals best interest, keep them safe, carry out risk assessments, promote informed choices but also respect their decision and right to live their life as they choose. If the risk seems great to me I would document it and discuss the matter with my manager. Another area where duty of care dilemmas may arise are confidentiality issues. When a confidential information is shared with me and it concerns safeguarding and there is a possibility of harm or someone’s wellbeing is threathened I might have to make a decision and disclose this information.
He states that even as a writer his mind struggles to keep focused on a book, something that is new to him. He blames this on the internet, which he describes as “The perfect recall of silicone memory” (2). He uses his friends as examples, stating that “..many are having similar experiences” (2). While impossible to tell if this fiction or not, one can reason that he’s most likely stating fact. Carr does bring up facts from a London study where results suggest that internet readers aren’t reading in traditional methods and that they do not absorb the text that they are reading.
Montag is her family, but she doesn't consider him as much as a family compaired to the parlor walls. Another example that Mildred should start thinking for herself is she pulled the alarm on her own husband, Montag.

For example, Lennie tells Curley’s wife the George has told hin to “stay here and not get in no trouble”(68). The manner in which George talks to Lennie is akin to the way in which a parent might talk to a child. George also calls Lennie a “crazy bastard”(6) when telling him what to do during their job interview with the boss of the ranch. The individuals on the ranch also exclude Lennie from activities by not letting him go to town with them and making him
It represents a preoccupation with adhering to rules and established procedures, maintaining a low profile, and blending in with a particular environment to avoid calling attention to ourselves. When we rely on established routines to determine how we do things, we risk losing our sense of being unique and an individual.

It is just a snapshot of my personality in time.
It wants to be recognized, wants to be connected: It wants to be visible”. We seem to have a difficulty finding our own solitude, being alone. Personally, living in this kind of society, I can’t really grasp his concept of the importance of solitude and to me it seems like he’s saying that connectivity is bad and doesn’t say why we should stay solitude, but that’s just me. “Communal experience is the human norm” says Deresiewicz. Humans are social creatures, we live in groups, and we connect.
How we determine a sense of belonging is through the choice of whether or not to change our perceptions and attitudes, not to the change the environment. Within our course to self discovery, we experience belonging through relationships, but there are barriers that prevent us from choosing whether or not to belong.
