It can be argued that we often search for a place to belong subconsciously. An example of this from Immigrant Chronicle is “Nationalities sought/Each other out instinctively-/like a homing pigeon” showing Stryznecki’s experience with the way people gravitate to others they can relate to, using the bird simile to represent freedom and alternately, displacement. The Narrator from Fight Club is a prime example of subconsciously seeking out belonging. The creation of the idyllic alter ego, Tyler Durden, symbolises the Narrator’s need to belong. While there is a strong level of admiration and kinship, the Narrator is easily threatened by the prospect of alienation and often over-reacts to exclusion, for example the quotes “I am Jack's inflamed sense of rejection” and “I am Jack’s broken heart” show the level of reliance the Narrator has on Durden.
This also represents that they are finding people with the same experience who thus have the same degree of belonging to a group. However, this also creates a paradox as “pigeons” represent freedom and lack of restriction, whereas the persona in this new environment is restricted. Here we can also find that the sense of belonging is not only based on experience, but is also related to the notion of identity. My supplementary text ‘Everyone I’ve ever slept with’ by Tracey Emmin provides an intratexual link with Migrant hostel as the persona and central character both reflect on the traumatic past experiences of feeling insignificant and worthless.

The Crucible In the past, present, and undoubtedly in the future, deceptive individuals take advantage of the anxieties and fears of society. When a society's insecurities are exposed and raw, a disconcerted mood spreads throughout the people. This contagion can engulf an entire population and become like a living entity, causing people to act rashly and hypocritically. Whether or not the fear is justified, a convincing individual can exploit a certain mentality called mob psychology.
Family comes first. Jobs come second. Love is number one. Credit Cards are evil. These men on Tally’s corner don’t have the right amount of love to keep a family in tact, or make the right amount of money to stay off the streets and take care of them selves.
They live in a life of unstructured hierarchy in the sense that no one in the Gilmore family has total power to control the actions of those committing crimes, which helps us understand why the Gilmore brothers and even the father choose to be living a forbidden life. Mikal’s family truly has no process of exercising authority in the sense that even the father is joining gangs and being part of all the dirty work. This helps us understand that governance in the Gilmore family shall never exist as long as a father figure is committing crimes as well, which sets an example for the
On The Waterfront reveals the powerlessness of the individual against a corrupt ruling group. “You know this city’s full of hawks?” Kazan’s On The Waterfront discusses how corruption and greed is always prevalent within society. The 1954 film follows the story of Terry Malloy, a man trapped between his loyalty to his conscience and the mob run by Johnny Friendly. The film illustrates how many characters attempt to seek justice and freedom from the corrupt union with differing results. The characters of Joey Doyle and Dugan both attempt to stop Johnny Friendly’s hold over the waterfront but ultimately are unable to make a change alone.
From massive borders to disobedient citizens, the United States government is unable to enforce their own policies of immigration. With the inability to enforce the law, the United States and its citizens endure several negative effects of illegal immigration. One of the most significant problems caused by illegal immigration is the issue of national security. As previously established, the United States has borders that stretch over thousands of miles and lacks the capacity to fully observe and protect every corner of its territory. As a result of this, thousands of illegal immigrants cross the American border virtually undetected.
