Changez’ failed persistence to fit in and adopt the American culture causes him to waste many years of his life as an outsider. Likewise, it is only Jim’s willingness to change to causes him to gain acceptance in the American culture, although it is clear that he too is an outcast in his own unique way. Erica is consumed by her nostalgic past, and chooses to distance herself from society in order to live in her nostalgic past. While Changez works tirelessly to be accepted as an American, he is only ever recognised as an outsider. Changez’ continual determination shows us that he is never accepted by those around him.
Wing Biddlebaum has a hard time communicating to others because of a hidden past that haunts him. Everything he wants to say is trapped inside of him. Teaching was the one thing in his life that he was passionate about. When teaching was taken away from him so was his love and passion. “Biddlebaum the silent began to talk, striving to put into words the ideas that had been accumulated by his mind during the long years of silence” (Anderson 10).

And he feels grief and despair "the smell and sense just a little of fear because mostly of despair and grief" (226, 1). The author uses the term despair a number of times. This denotes hopelessness, and shows us that Sartoris sees that there is nothing he can do about the situation.
During his initial visit to the clinic, Eric stated that the primary reason for seeking treatment was for help with his persistent symptoms of concentration difficulties and chronic worry and anxiety. Eric reported that he worried about everything, including his inability to hold a job to be self-supporting, losing support from his family or being too much of a burden on them, the possibility of his car breaking down, acci- dentally insulting people, and his lack of a girlfriend. He claimed that he was having considerable difficulty controlling these worries to put them out of his mind and con- centrate on something else. Because his worries hindered his ability to concentrate, Eric routinely repeated information in his head in an attempt not to forget things that he felt might be important later (e.g., the name of a company to which he might apply for a job at some point in the future). Eric’s inability to sustain a career

SOCIOLOGY CASE STUDY OUTCOME 1 PART2 When looking at the impact of the family upon child A from a functionalist perspective where all the parts of the machine/body need to work for it to run smoothly then it is blatantly clear that there are many parts of this particular family have not been working the way they should. Firstly if you start with the absence of any father then this leaves child A without one of the primary care givers and the role that he would’ve filled.

Instead using vulgar language was his way to describe how he felt; “...deadbeat no-hoper/shithole lonely downtrodden house/in Longlands Rd, Nowheresville”. This quote shows how billy was isolated from school and at home. With these impacts on his life the library and Westfield creek became his only places of happiness and belonging.
