You Are Not Alone

Being alone in nature is the best thing to help a person be happy and find him or herself. That is the message both Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and Emily Dickinson's How Happy is the Little Stone. In the How Happy is the Little Stone, the poem starts out with “How Happy is the little Stone That rambles on the Road alone,” this shows that the rock is happy because he is all alone. We know he is all alone because the poem states that “And independent as the Sun” the speaker is trying to show…

the theme of being left alone through the use of language, form, and structure of each of the two poems. In 'Half-past Two', a child is put into detention for doing “Something Very Wrong” until half-past two; he doesn't know how to tell the time. As a result, doesn't know when to leave, he stays there daydreaming until the teacher remembers him, and she sends him away. 'Hide and Seek' is also about a child who is left alone. The poem is a story of a child who is left alone by his friends as…

down while you are alone and how handy it comes in while you are walking alone. Immediet communication comes in great handy with the way it rappidly connects us to the others around. Owning a cell phone becomes reassuring if you happen to live alone and fall down a lot, being able to contact a loved one while they are out at the store…

realised that i'm not getting it. A wave of feelings covered me like a wave covers a surfer. I knew it's normal to be ignored as well as to feel lonely but this time feelings hit so deep that it made me truly realise that we're born alone, we live alone and we die alone. Over the night loneliness grew around me like a mould, a state which inhibits contact no matter how badly contact is desired. I spent two days riding a subway with a desire to ride away and find a peaceful spot and just…

Have there ever been a time where it was just you nobody else? No mom, no dad, no friends, no sisters, and no brothers. You ever have to survive on your own? Blockälteste’s quote is saying that at this point no matter the people around you have to help yourself and just yourself. And I took this part of the quote “Each of us lives and dies alone.” Like when I hear someone say “You come in this world alone, you will leave this world alone.” So that is what I thought about when reading that. I…

I have continued down this path of learning about dealing with and progressing through loneliness. I read a few couple of books one being The Connection Gap: Why Americans Feel Alone. Time I opened the book the information was so compelling it provided a base for me to dive deeper into understanding loneliness. I was first interested in the area about shopping because I shopping is an activity I do too much of sometimes. “There have been many cultural and social changes in recent decades that it…

In this current decade, if you were to take a stroll into the city, you would see that there are many women and men who are walking around. Although both genders preoccupy the space in the city, it does not necessarily mean that the city is gender neutral. The city does not create equal access to everything for women and men. Women and men’s experience while in the city both differ. Many men do not worry as much as women when it comes to travelling in the city alone during the day and night.…

People react to situations in many different ways. When it comes to being alone, some people learn to accept it, some fight for attention, while others push everyone away. In the book Of Mice and Men, many characters experience being alone in different ways. An African American man named Crooks is forced to sleep in a separate room away from the rest of the workers because of his race. A woman marries a successful man thinking it is best for her. In reality, she ends up the only female around…

Have you ever heard the saying be careful what you wish for. you often hear the movies books and short stories. Theme is the meaning of the story. Short story Ransom of Red Chief by O'Hara in the movie Home Alone have comment themes. One example in the book that says crime doesn't pay if they had to give Ebenezer towards the $250 to get rid of the kid . I can prove this by the crooks wanted $2,000 and butt. They couldn't stand the kid and the dad made them pay for him.Another thing is for…

Though you might bear the word ‘NEW’ in your name, there is nothing really new about you and your games― we know your histories, beginnings, let alone destination, even tho’ we were not burn’: your middle name is ‘clear.’ The World certainly shall weep when your horns thunder! No news this to men of history not dead. She lives forever, not only in the minds of those who lost loved ones so dear, but hearts who care about the final end of this fragile plain, even when they are gone! Weep not O…
