Summary Of The Loner By Mrs Seaver

In her article “I Stand Here Writing”, Nancy Sommers examines the writing process and formulating ideas for writing in a more empirical manner. She states that before she found her creative zeal/ niche her writing was often undisciplined, unmethodical, and sloppy. Sommers reveals that in college she was less known for her writing and more for her long hair and misapplication of phrases. She found her true inspiration while writing her Senior Thesis on Emerson’s “Eloquence.” Throughout the entire essay, Sommers provides the reader with advice about writing. A key point that she mentions is, “If I could teach my students about writing it would be to see themselves as sources, as places from which ideas originate, to see themselves as Emerson’s transparent eyeball, all that they have read and experienced-the-dictionaries of their lives circulating through them.”

We lost the ability to be still, our capacity for idleness. They have lost the ability to be alone, their capacity for solitude. (The end of solitude, pg.4)

Independence is a socially constructed concept within a capitalistic patriarchal society that serves to marginalize and oppress the elderly members of the society. Why do many women of the elderly population within the United States live alone? What is it about our society that has encouraged the elderly population to live alone and without the vital familial support that is so often necessary for people who are reaching their golden years? Elderly people in the United States are one of the most vulnerable groups of people who have traditionally been marginalized. They are viewed as weak individuals because they are no longer able to physically work for pay. Many of them choose to live alone yet suffer in isolation because of the

The short story The Lonesome Place was written by August Derleth. It is a Gothic tale, which deals with ambiguity over the supernaturalism, an unreliable narrator, an inner-monster, and a gloom spreading over an otherwise safe small town, about two lonely boys with an uncanny and forceful imagination that turns their and other people’s lives upside down.

Like demonstrated in chapter four of the book, they lose all sense of independence and privacy, and are forced to get dressed, take their medicine or do activities when told to instead of being able to decide for themselves. With the idea of assisted living, Keren Wilson will allow her mother to “be Jesse again, a person living in a apartment instead of a patient in a bed.”(Gawande, 2014, p. 89). I feel it is important to treat those with serious infirmities, like physical or mental weakness, with respect and independence because many of them don’t have a say or voice on where they are placed. They are unable to live on their own so they are forced to be put in nursing homes, where they become sheltered, abandoned, and sadly sometimes forgotten. This is why showing them respect, dignity, and giving them some independence will go a long way.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton delivered her speech “The Solitude of Self” in 1892, which presented a definition of being a human being as well as being a woman in the time when males were dominating the society. By analyzing the historical and rhetorical context that the speech was delivered at, I argue that Stanton managed to address her purpose to the targeted audiences.

To begin, Can you image having to lose your family, friends and cousins and all your left with in this world is yourself and you no longer belief in God because of all the terrifying things that you seen and had to experiences and because you were taught that god is everywhere and God is good also his very forgiving but it all turns around when Elie’s and his family also their Jew’s get taken to concentration camp where dreams don’t exist only blood, flames, painful and most important were who survival only matters and trying to stay in the some spend of marching as the others pensioner so you won’t get shot. The only way a person survived is looking after themselves first and staying strong. Elie’s a 15 years old boy always has been a very

Loner, hermit, introvert, misfit, whatever you may call them, you know someone that you’d classify as one. They’re the kid in the corner of the room during a party standing by themselves, they might be the one kid that kid that didn’t go or wasn’t invited to the party. The student at the back of the class that will speak on occasion if they have to, they might even be the person sitting right next to you and you might not even know it. You either don’t know how to act or talk to them, they give off a different kind of persona than what ‘normal’ people may give off. They seem a little… ‘different’, not the average joe.

The book “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck shows in depth character struggles of farmers daily lives in the mid 1900’s, as they confront loneliness in southern California. It follows the lives of Lennie, Candy and Curly’s wife as they cope with loneliness. These characters display a depth of loneliness that makes the reader want to understand what they are going through and how they deal with the lifestyle they are dealt with. Everyone is lonely in this book because they are all different, they all have impairments.

A coward is defined as someone who lacks the courage to take action, a person who is unwilling to do anything unpleasant. A coward refuses to stand up for what is “right” or what is “good” because they are afraid of the consequences, they are afraid that they themselves will be hindered because of their actions. In Act of Solitude by Joyce Carol Oates, Chester Jensen exemplifies a man lacking courage. He is a man unwilling to do the right thing or do anything at all because he is afraid of the consequences. One instance in which Chester illustrates his cowardice nature is through his relationship with his wife, Diane.

It is impossible to discuss the role of women in literature without mentioning the influence of feminism. The later in the timeline one reads, the more prominent it becomes. Each new wave of feminism brings with it its own goals, yet it also continues to strive for some of the same goals as past generations because not everything is accomplished all at once. Although “The Well of Loneliness” by Radclyffe Hall and “Rubyfruit Jungle” by Rita Mae Brown, are two starkly different texts that strongly reflect the feminist eras in which they were written, they have some similarities as well.

Within the book of "Excerpt of Going Solo," the main character Roald Dahl meets many odd and silly people . For instance, some include people such as Major Griffiths, Miss Trefusis, Mdisho, U.N Savory, etc. However today I will be talking about Mdisho and Miss Trefusis specifically and on the topic of the ideas, Roald conveyed about both of these characters and which one I think in my own opinion is more crazy or dotty.

The author managed to fascinate the simple, everyday stories and relationship, understatement, and mystery is not less than the twisted detective. He used the idea of dirty realism and minimalism in all it depth. At first glance, this story seems to be dedicated purely household category, but actually reveal serious social problems and with such minimalism fits serious drama, even tragedy, with "undistinguished" characters.

“How not to be alone” is an article written by a remarkable American novelist, Jonathan Safran Foer. In this paper, he narrates an unforgettable personal experience. Once he was waiting for a friend in public, he noticed a girl crying hard. He was worried but also curious about why she was so sad. He was willing to offer help but felt embarrassed at the same time. So it seemed that the author was in a dilemma. Intervening is harder than ignoring. He conveys the idea that technology has created distance among people. They are more likely to put energy into cell phones, computers, or other electronic devices, whereupon they care less about the real word; the surroundings. Gradually, human beings

Our daily existence requires both closeness and distance, the wholeness of self, the wholeness of intimacy (Judith Viorst). In 2013 Rod Blackhurst directed Alone Time (USA). According to Alone Time official site synopsis, “A young woman, stressed by her busy and continually crowded New York City existence spontaneously retreats to a solitary lake deep in the Adirondacks.” And in 2014 Jon Garaño and Jose Mari Goenaga made Loreak (Spain). According to the Loreak official site synopsis, “Ane's life turns around when, week after week, she receives a bunch of flowers at home. Always at the same time and always without a senders note. The life of Lourdes and Tere is also affected by a mysterious flowers. Weekly, an individual
