John is also just as isolated in the new state. ‘ At Malpais he had suffered because they had shut him out from communal activities of the pueblo, in civilised London he was suffering because he could never escape from the communal activities, never be quietly alone.’ This reveals that still in two completely different societies he fits in to neither, for two different reasons. Also on the final page after his death it says, ‘ Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and, after a few

Bruce enlisted in the army but always knew that he would return home one day to run his family funeral home business when his father passed away.

Before they were sent to the concentration camp, Elie had little respect for his father and they both lived quite an independent life. The distance between his father and himself is so great that Elie describes his father as one who “was more involved with the welfare of others than with that of his own kin” (Wiesel 3). Elie soon realized that his father held a greater priority for others in the Jewish community rather than his family. Elie’s realization further shows how distant they are from each other because he has learned to just leave things the way they are. Instead of demanding attention from his father, he busies himself with frequent praying and studying the cabbala with Moshe the Beadle, growing closer to him instead.

Steinbeck depicts poverty as leading to happiness and this is due to the fact that he did not directly experience severe poverty and he managed to get the support from his father. For this reason, the characters depict happiness and unity as a result of poverty. Due to them writing in their respective times, their
He tries on multiple occasions to fit in with her family, something he never tried to do with his own parents. Gogal becomes very attached to Maxine’s parents, who were a key element in his changed behaviour and the result of the avoidance of his own parents and their traditional ways. “Gogol had several affairs in his life time that sometimes his parents did not support…” (100).

In the same manner, Raymond Carver found himself
Both Thoreau and Emerson had slightly different ideas of life, but the main reason was because only Thoreau would actually act on it. “Do not take notes because I am doing it.� (Thoreau, The Play) He truly believed he had to show the world it is okay to be individual.
