Lonely Page 13,14,15 it states “Winnie Foster sat on the bristly grass just inside the fence and said to the large toad who was squatting a few yards away across the road, “I will, though. You'll see. Also on page 14 it also states, “She made a game of it anyway, tossing pebbles at such an angle that they passed through the gnat cloud on their way to the toad. On page 15 it also states why Winnie foster is lonely because she is telling the toad why should you have to be cooped up in a cage, too? She is basically saying why do u have to be locked up to and have no freedom. And on page 13 I picked that certain detail of why she was lonely because it states she is outside sitting on the grass and inside a fence and she is talking to a toad this shows she is lonely because she had nothing to do and she is talking to a toad which is not human. Also on page 14 i picked that specific detail because it also showed Winnie being lonely because she made a game of tossing pebbles at such an angle and she like doesn't have anything else to do on her spare time but throwing pebbles this could show that she has no friends hanging out with her or coming to talk to her.
Caring Page 132 it states “It's my toad,” Winnie told him. So you'd better leave it alone.’ And then, on an impulse, she turned and ran into the cottage, up to her room, to the bureau drawer where she had hidden Jesses bottle the bottle of water from the spring. In a moment she was back again. The toad still squared where
The world has changed dramatically in the last century, especially in terms of homosexuality and its acceptance by society. In 2003, Massachusetts became the first state to allow gay marriage, followed slowly by others before becoming legal nationwide, June 26, 2015. Only five years ago the United States military repealed their nearly two decades old, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, allowing service members to openly express their sexuality. These changes would tend to indicate that Radclyffe Hall’s, The Well of Loneliness, would be an obsolete literary work, however, this is a highly inaccurate assumption. True, the aspects of gender roles have largely changed since 1928, women are no longer expected to remain at home, to tend to the children
The Lost Boy, written by Dave Pelzer is a heartwarming story of a young nine-year-old boy, David, who has family issues and is constantly being abused by his mother. Dave Pelzer is a New York Times Bestseller and a #1 International Bestseller. He has written other books such as A Child Called “It”, My Story, and A Man Named Dave, etc. This is my first story read by this author however, I will read more of his work in the near future. The genre of this book I would say is self-help, psychology and inspirational because it sends out such a strong statement of what this young boy and probably many other children are dealing with, in other words, it helps raise awareness. I myself did not imagine to be reading this type of book since I’m more
In the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, it's built around the class division between the Socs and the greasers. The kids in the Socs came from privileged and wealthy families while the greaser grew up in a unstable and poor environment, and it shaped who they are and how they act.

In the article ¨The Urban Experience in Recent Young Adult Novels¨ by Sandra Hassell and Sandy Guild, it discuss the importance of urban teens worlds represented in literature.

These sentences make the reader feel sympathy for the lonely lady. This was a great story to start off with since it is kind of ironic that a former playboy playmate would end up old and lonely. When we think of famous people, we tend to think their life is perfect, so when we hear about Vicker’s (playboy playmate) story, we feel bad and realize that loneliness can affect anyone. Marche also used certain phrases throughout the story about Vicker’s death such as “yellowing letter in mail, broken window door, piles [of] junk mail, empty space” to emotional engages us as well. These words and phrases are signs of abandonment. He could have just said she died and left it at that, but Marche went into further details about the surroundings of Vicker’s house. These phrases show us that she had been dead at home for a very long time. Long enough to have piles of junk mail and yellowing of letter in mail. Over all, the feelings that Marche is trying to make his readers feel is sympathy. He also tries to tie both our sympathy feelings in with the question of the title. “Is Facebook making us lonelier?”. As Marche uses some words to make his readers feel that social media might play a factor in loneliness he then makes a transformation of feelings.

People are considered to be social beings, yet, again and again, they seek to falsify the claims of civility, and show themselves as the detached individuals they tend to be. In his novella, “Of Mice and Men,” John Steinbeck designed several faulty pairings that display the true disparity and detachment that are proven to be a part of every relationship in the story. Through the associations of the main characters, Lennie and George, along with several other characters within the narrative, Steinbeck exposes the root of 1930’s relationships in promises, loneliness, and a basic need for companionship, rather than any true fondness- a junction that can easily be nullified.
Loneliness and exclusion from society hurts and affects everyone; the emotional strain a person endures from it creates the image they present to others, but deep down they are not the display image they manufacture. As an illustration, while opening up to Lennie in the barn Curley’s wife states, “I get lonely… You can talk to people, but I can’t talk to nobody but Curley. Else he gets mad.
In the novel Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck looks at the theme of loneliness as it affects many characters on the ranch. Crooks, Curley's wife, and Candy are the most excluded characters on the ranch, because they all have dreams that they will not be able to live out and they all are at loss when it came to companionship. Crooks is lonely because he is the only black man on the ranch. Since this book is set during the Depression, Jim Crow laws are still in effect, whites and blacks had separate facilities for socializing and living. Crooks comments that he can't live in the bunkhouse, and cant even play cards in there.

From the beginning of the story, it becomes apparent that Miss Brill is the epitome of the definition of lonely. She starves to have just a little warmth and companionship. In the story, she has a fur necklet that she tenderly caresses as if it were a pet that she rubs “the life into the little dim eyes” (Mansfield 175). Loneliness in Miss Brill is also shown through the music in the park. The loneliness is shown through her perception of how the music is “like someone playing with only the family to listen” (Mansfield 175). The whole time, Miss Brill thinks of herself as part of this family playing the music, but in reality she is just an on-site observer. On this particular Sunday, it was the first day of the Season so the band seemed “louder and gayer” (Mansfield 175). However, Miss Brill is somewhat disappointed that there are only two people near where she is seated (Wilson 2: 136) Because they do not talk, her little world that she is rebuffed by that world and her fantasy falls apart (Wilson 2: 140).
Within the mind, we have thoughts and triggers that set our fears. Fear is the number one thing that can cause us from doing things in life. No matter what time frame we are in, on this planet, we learn that fear is worth controlling in life. One spectacular movie that inhibits fear and control so well in our human nature is The Village by M. Night Shyamalan. Mr. Shyamalan shows so much potential in this film with ourselves and the viewing of certain scenes that trigger the mind with control and fear.
