Isolation Mental Illness

“I'm warning you. I'm going to get angry. D’you see? You're not wanted understand? We are going to have fun on this island. So don't try it on, my poor misguided boy, or else” (Golding 144). This quote is a major foreshadowing to the end of Simon’s life, but also represents that even the most sane boys can go crazy. The Lord of the Flies had many turning points, but Simon’s turning is the most important of the novel.

The problem with Solitary Confinement is that it causes mental health issues, it has been misused in prison, causes torture, inmates social life aren 't the same as before with their family members or friends. Prisoners have suffered severe psychological harm by being alone in small dark room without having anyone to talk to, having to only see a pitch black room. This issue should be fixed by using a different method without harming them and causing humans a physical damage. United States prisons should instead put inmates who are placed in solitary confinements and have them all together in the same area, than having each inmate in a room to their self. I believe that this method would work because prisons would be isolating them but they won’t be in a room by themselves, they will instead be in a room with other inmates to at least talk to and reflect amongst them together to become a better person outside of prison.

Aldous Huxley used the sense of isolation a lot throughout the venture of the novel. Huxley used isolation in the tone of the characters voices, and when the characters had a sense of being alone. He would show this feeling of isolation by telling us readers the sound of the characters voices when they are in certain situations, like when Fanny spent his time alone, Huxley would say he has horror in his voice. A sense of horror in a confined area has everything to do with the feeling of isolation, but there are different types of isolations. John grew up hating that he was always kept away from the indians, but as the book went on John just wanted to be alone and be by himself. Some of the characters throughout the novel had a feeling of intense

Lord of the Flies Essay “We’ve got to have rules and obey them. After all, we’re not savages”. The boys were stranded on a island everything was going good then went bad and everybody went savage mode and start killing people. In chapter 9 the following events happened Simon wakes up from his faint or seizure.

In the beginning of the book, Lord of the Flies, as characters are introduced in the story they seem to just be a group of British boys stranded on an island. As the story starts developing, the personalities of the boys become much more evident. Ralph the protagonist, Jack the savage, Piggy the intelligent and among those that are the most significant is Simon. Simon

The novel, The Lord of the Flies, by Golding illustrates that evil exists in human nature. Society’s rule is what prevents humans from acting on that evil. In the book, the boys and Jack’s behavior dramatically changes and evil comes out in them due to the absence of adults and punishments. Moreover, they continue to lose their civilized identity by acting cruel and ruthless towards weak individuals. The vision Simon experiences clearly demonstrates that the boys identity have become a beast.

Isolation, being locked up in prison, does affect your wellbeing. One inmate had a disciplinary problem, which he was very aggressive towards the staff (Navasky & O'Connor, 2010). He spitted and threw body waste at the staff (Navasky & O'Connor, 2010). They had to use force on him to control his behavior. “The staff showed no interest in helping this person. The just wanted to lock him away” (Navasky & O'Connor, 2010). He called his experience in solitary confinement a prison within a prison, in which he called it worse than being taken from society to be placed in prison (Navasky & O'Connor, 2010). Segregation, isolation, is what makes inmates mental illness worse and what manifests psychotic symptoms. The video mentioned that if you are in segregation and you are not mentally ill the chances of you becoming mentally ill is very high, especially if you are psychologically fragile to being with (Navasky & O'Connor, 2010). If it were not for the new system, he would have been placed in segregation instead of the prison infirmary (Navasky & O'Connor, 2010).

Isolation can be thought of in different ways, we can be physically isolated by being in a room by ourselves, and having no one else to talk to; Or we can be mentally isolated by not being able to connect to anyone somewhere because of the difference in cultures, or conflicting values. After reading many different novels, I have realized that even though

They call him odd, and often disregard him. Such discrimination is a tragedy, since Simon’s epileptic hallucinations reveal that he is actually the most enlightened of the bunch. Through his imaginary conversation with the Lord of the Flies, Golding shows that Simon “knew, didn’t you? I’m part of you” (Golding 143), suggesting that Simon understands that the Beast wasn’t actually a tangible being, but the savagery of the boys themselves. This episode also foresees Simon’s death, when the Lord of the Flies tells Simon “we shall do you?

C. Secondly, there are other symptoms that are not as common in depression. 1. Some people with depression might experience sleep issues. Some might experience insomnia, not being able to sleep or others might sleep non-stop (Mayo Clinic, 21 Feb. 2014).

We can see that extreme isolation can be an extremely effective way of torturing somebody. It is very cruel to do so, but effective. The government uses this technique to torture terrorists to find out information. Being in complete isolation would be an awful way to live. We try to use isolation as a tool to weed out information from inmates to make the United States a safer

Gresham M. Sykes describes the society of captives from the inmates’ point of view. Sykes acknowledges the fact that his observations are generalizations but he feels that most inmates can agree on feelings of deprivation and frustration. As he sketches the development of physical punishment towards psychological punishment, Sykes follows that both have an enormous effect on the inmate and do not differ greatly in their cruelty.

The authors compare under-crowded patients at a psychiatric hospital units, a prison units and the use of seclusion. The authors’ outline some rules guiding disciplinary action and seclusion base on the gravity of the offence, diagnosis of patients, census/evidence and mood of care provider/correctional officers in units. The researchers’ state different assumptions supporting the notion that overcrowding is a common cause of violence within security units given different situations. The researchers claim a positive correlation of census at the university hospital psychiatric unit and use of seclusion; however, the comparison of census and violence at the lock-in units of the hospital to that of correctional facilities is an eye opener to the

Isolation can be caused either by yourself or by others. Isolation is being separated from others by one of the three following

According to Merriam-Webster, isolation is defined as “to set apart from others”. The novel, The Catcher in the Rye and the film, Rebel Without a Cause show how isolation affected certain characters. In The Caher in the Rye, Holden is isolated from the community around him. In Rebel Without a Cause, Plato is also isolated, he doesn't have a relationship with anyone at his school or home. Holden and Plato are similar in the way that they both struggle with isolation because they cannot make a connection or relate to other. However, Holden's isolation stems from superiority, while Plato’s isolations stems from an inferiority complex.
