The apartment is also small and cluttered with spaces not suited for a walker. With garbage disposal being on the first floor, there is a possibility that an excess of garbage in the apartment will lead to a pest infestation. Secondly, there’s the fact that the patient doesn’t seem like he will be compliant with his new medication and nutrition regimen. He already states that he doesn’t like taking the medication and appears to not understand the importance of them either. Since family is unavailable to assist, this leaves Mr. Trosack on his own.
As Randall only has the problem of his house, Richard has the problem of not eating food and is desperate for it that he even eats paste from school. Not only that but he also doesn’t have a
He had anger management issues at home, school and elsewhere because of his relationship between him and his father. He had learning problems at school, according to Dr. Jeffery Hicks, he suffered from dyslexia. He heard voices and was “fascinated with tourting small animals”. At one point he was prescribed Prozac but this was not proper medicine for him because it was not strong enough and they took him off it thinking that he was getting better but he clearly did not. He had issues and sadly they were not identified in time to prevent the tragedy that later occurred.
This symbolises his state of ambivalence and detachment from the religious culture his mother wanted him to become affiliated with. Another example of ambiguity in the poem is when Peter writes “caught the 414 bus, like a foreign student”. These two lines contradict each other because he first acknowledges the number of the bus, indicating a sense of belonging, but in the line after he compares himself to a foreign student, which is a symbol of disconnection. This is another example of how Peter’s desire to belong is in conflict with his duty to
Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest (Simon, Woodley, 1968).” I can tell from this statement that most likely his family and loves ones tried to persuade him not to leave his home but he decided to listen to what he wanted to hear. In the second paragraph he continues to describe how he lived among strangers, and gives the impression that he was homeless. He looked for a job without success“Asking only workman’s wages I come looking for a job But I get no offers (Simon, Woodley, 1968).” The author makes us feel compassion for this young man by stating that he sometimes he would feel very lonely that he would look for company with the “whores”. “There were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there (Simon, Woodley, 1968).” The young man would like to go home away from the cold winters in New York City, but probably

Skrzynecki use the word “darkness” to describe the inside of the museum which symbolises his sadness. The tone of sadness emphasises how he doesn’t want to be there, he doesn’t have any connection with the museum and Australian culture. Skrzynecki used different colours such as “grey”, “yellow and brown” to create a dull and cold image which create a distance between the museum and him. Also the dull atmosphere further reflects Skrzynecki’s negative feeling and makes him harder to connect with Australian culture. “TO remind of pass/ Which isn’t mine.” Indicates where Skrzynecki had tried to fit in with the museum but the tone of sadness and depression show that he had failed to connect with the new culture and country.
In doing so, we see how essential not only it is for Lennie to gain another friend in times of loneliness, but for Crooks as well. Being secluded from companionship like Crooks is, he becomes dependent on Lennie for moments like those to remind him that he is still a human being. Lennie, like George, also doesn’t want to risk losing a friend over something minor. When Lennie wanted some ketchup and he saw that he made George angry by continuously asking for what they don’t have, he immediately apologized and said “I wouldn’t eat no ketchup, George. I’d leave it all for you.
The audience can see Herrick’s portrayal of ‘preconceived notions’ and thus a lack of true understanding, damaging an individual’s sense of belonging, when Billy is criticised by the children on the bus for being a “bum”. The children stereotype him, labelling him part of a marginalised group within our society. This suggests to Billy and the audience that he no longer belongs in normal society, underlining how a distinct lack of understanding, and use ‘stereotypical’ labels has created the notion that the homeless do not belong. This exclusion is again shown later in the novel by Billy, when isolates himself from Caitlyn deliberately, ashamed of his image and clothes, “I wouldn’t want to meet her here not when she’s with her friends and in uniform and me dressed in the same clothes as always” Herrick using the symbolism of his clothes to show Billy’s belief that Caitlyn will not understand his lifestyle, which will in turn further prevent him from belonging within
