    He became aware of the influence the deaths he had witnessed were having on him, and he was able to use this to aid in his maturation. Take, for example, his reaction to the death of Ultima, someone who he was incredibly close with. At first Antonio was saddened by the death of Ultima, and he cried over her, acknowledging that “warm tears” streamed down his face (261). However, rather than running off to be alone and grieving over what he had witnessed, as he had with the other deaths, Antonio stood at Ultima’s side while she was dying. He also had the sense to ask for her blessing, an act that showed Antonio’s growth into a cognizant adult.…

    Introduction: One may not realize that a person is living in isolation, especially if they are seen around people. It is quite a wonder that one can be quite alienated from normal life or people while still living around them. More so, it is surprising how a person could just choose to live indoors because of his phobia and be happy enjoying his own company. In the two works of literature, The Pleasure of my Company by Steve Martin and The Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger, this theme has been expressed in different ways. While Martin in his book, The Pleasure of My Company expresses the theme of isolation by developing a protagonist who is confined from the normal social life like other people with his fears, Salinger develops such a character…
