I have conquered numerous mountains, but I might not be able to climb another one. Back in August 2015, I and my friends took a trip to East Java as a graduation present for ourselves. There were 3 mountains in our itinerary: Mount Merapi, Mount Bromo and Mount Ijen.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the last one as I used to be an arrogant person that time. The absence of humbleness…

The Impacts of Camaraderie Solitary confinement is isolation as a form of punishment. If one is put in seclusion as a punishment, who would want to live his or her daily life in it? In any situation, setting, or time period, companionship is a necessity. In Of Mice and Men, the motif of camaraderie helps characters to feel secure, not isolated. The story takes place on a farm in North Carolina during the 1930’s. There is one African American, one woman, one long-lasting friendship, and one…

“There is no loneliness sadder than a man without friends. The lack of friends makes the world seem like a desert.” -Francis Bacon. My grandma was diagnosed with dementia in the year of 2010.

The three main characters chosen were Curley’s wife, Crooks, and Candy. A message of loneliness emerges through several key characters, including their efforts in…

Ethnographic Interview Project I decided to interview my grandma, Doris Boggs, for my interview project. She lives in Fort Wayne, Indiana and because of the five hour distance I rarely get to spend time with her. When my grandfather, her husband, passed away last spring I realized how little I knew about them and when we received this project I thought it would be the perfect way to preserve some of the important things from her life. She was born Dorris Mae Deiter on November 26, 1927. So, she…

Loneliness connects all characters in Of Mice and Men. Although loneliness isn't an actual character, it plays a huge role. All of the book’s characters are in fact lonely, maybe except for George and Lennie. We know from the start of the book that George and Lennie traveling around together is rare, because no one really had anyone to depend on. Steinbeck uses loneliness to connect the characters so maybe they all aren't really alone. A few characters deal with their loneliness by searching…

“I used to think the worst thing in life is to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel all alone” (Robin Williams). Though many of the characters feel lonely, their environment and those surrounding them furthers their isolation. By noticing the different characteristics within John Steinbeck’s Of Mice And Men, loneliness can be recognized and contrasted by Lennie and George’s tight-knit relationship. Furthermore, once these grievous faults…
