Christopher Mcandless, although driven to find true isolation, came to the self-realization at the end of his journey that loneliness was not the true solution to his problems, but that true happiness comes from the love of others. Before he came to this realization, Christopher’s motivations for happiness and isolation derived from his disconnection to his family, his hatred for society and the structure that forms it, and finally Christopher’s desire for a natural life.

To Kill a Mockingbird Essay “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view – until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” This quote was said by Atticus and clearly describes the situation of Boo Radley, Tom Robinson and Atticus Finch. Throughout the story, To Kill a Mockingbird, many events occur which all revolve around the same theme; you don’t know someone until you walk in his/her shoes. Boo Radley is rarely seen or heard of in the story, and because of this Maycomb folks make assumptions on what he truly is, an evil and vicious person.

Lee's presentation of Mayella emphasizes her role as victim-her father beats her and possibly molests her, while she takes care of the children. Pity must be reserved for Tom Robinson, whose honesty and goodness render him supremely moral. Unlike the Ewells, Tom is hardworking, honest, and has enough compassion to make the fatal mistake of feeling sorry for Mayella
No one hears his cries for help or recognizes his struggle. This poem explores the idea of isolation by being misunderstood by the people around you. The poet deepens the reader’s appreciation of the theme by employing imagery, contrast and an unclear tone. The poems' overall theme is that the dead man was lost his entire life. He was never waving to the people that passed in and out of his life, but crying for help all along.
