Short Story Of Isolation

Images of confinement and escape in “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin. Is shown all throughout the story, Mrs. Mallard felt trapped she did not seem happy at all. The feeling of freedom seemed to take over Mrs. Mallard body. Her exhaustion seems to confine her so when Mrs. Mallard heard the news about her husband. All she could think of is being alone and confining herself in a room where she can express how she truly feels. Mrs. Mallard felt tied down and exhausted from being trapped. Instead of her

It was the first day back at school for a new year. Many of us still longed to be on holiday, carefree and careless. It showed on our faces as we grumpily and wearily made our way along the corridors to our House Room. This year our form (11) had a new student. When we walked in we all just looked at him, scrutinizing, mentally noting anything unusual. There was something about him though, but I couldn't quite see it. Nobody interacted with him at first - the teachers were all around him, then he was set free, for us students to talk with him, I didn't talk to him myself, rather I just listened to the questions of others, which, he answered them faintly. They ask him questions to get him talking, to get him relaxed, but he simply answered

In a fit of rage and frustration, Daniel Howell shove the unorganized pile of schoolwork and textbooks away from him, resulting in numerous packets and other assignments to collapse onto the floor after falling off his desk. Dan angrily runs his hands through his greasy, curly hair and down his face as he sighs exhaustively. Glancing at the clock, he becomes aware that it reads 3:37 a.m., and he has to wake up and get ready for his classes on campus in less than three hours. As much as he dreams of crawling into his warm, comfortable bed and falling asleep, he knows he must complete every bit of his homework for tomorrow (well, more like today) before he is able to. However, for the past few nights, Dan has been unconsciously sleeping on his

this year. We have read novels, articles, historical documents, poetry, and so much more. Each one has its own message it wants to tell the reader, however some of them have a few things in common. My two favorite pieces of literature that we read this year was “Society and Solitude” by Ralph Waldo, and The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Was there ever a time in your life where you felt like a stranger or an outsider? Well I have, it was when I first transferred to Nanakuli High and Intermediate School what made it feel more left out was that it was already deep into the school year my 8th grade 4th quarter. I felt left out and felt like I would just be jumping into somebody group and it felt weird who knew if they wanted to hang with me or not. But without it I wouldn’t be who I am today.

We did not say she was crazy then. We believed she had to do that. We remembered all the young men her father had driven away, and we knew that with nothing left, she would have to cling to that which had robbed her, as people will.

The year was 1994 and you had officially been with your boyfriend Tate for two years. You laid in his bed cuddling with him. He was talking to you about the world, his mother, his siblings, Kurt Cobain, and everything else. His voice had a calming effect on you and you thought anything he said would have relaxed you. “My mom gave me another speech about not knocking you up,” Tate said.

Before leaving the office, which was clearly designed by the driving force of the new Chief of Staff occupying it, which at a glance might have appeared to be more medical library than office; Katherine checked her watch for the time. It had been a long day and there were forty-eight more hours of it. God, she thought, would this day never end? But closing the door behind her, she put exhaustion aside and proceeded to take her place in line with the others – at the trough down the hall.

I picked up my heavy bag, intending to throw it over my shoulders but someone grabbed it from me before I could. I twirled around, intending to kick the thief before he could break through but he stopped me with ease.

I managed to make very few promises in my lifetime. The majority of them were with my mother, her pleading eyes telling me to stray away from things that could "harm" me. Usually after the first week or so it was broken, and the guilt washed away in time, but when Ruby Ramirez made one with me I knew I would have to keep my word.

It seems that no matter how isolated one makes itself, there will always be a prevalent aspect of life that cannot be escaped. It is of course the tragedy of death, a dark and frightening end. Fifteen-year old Mariam was no exception to this unfortunate truth of life. One spring day in 1979, a chauffeur started yelling at Mariam to turn away and go back. It was a desperate cry to shield the young girl from what she was about to see in her home just after returning from her stay at a family friend’s home. Her home, a small house near Heart, Afghanistan; isolated from the world. Now had her lifeless mothers body hanging inside. The mother - whose name is not disclosed per request of family – had reportedly been in unstable mental conditions.

1. Intrusion of Solitude: Example: A man with binoculars regularly climbs a tree in his yard and watches a girl across the road undress through her bathroom window. Her injury is the impassioned danger she suffers over seeing the perpetrator looking at her. 2.

It was Raoul, and I wished for him to go away. He knocked again then stuck his head around the door. ‘How are you?’ he asked with concern. Anger overcame me.

For most, being alone and isolated is a nice way to get away from overwhelming events happening in life. However, when it comes to extreme cases, isolation is very bad for someone’s well-being, according to Michael Bond who states, “for most people, prolonged social isolation is all bad” (Bond, “How Extreme Isolation Warps the Mind”). Overall, isolation has several negative impacts on the human mind and body. Extreme isolation can affect someone in three distinct ways: physically, mentally, and socially.
