In the story, Jared escapes his miserable home life to a plane wreck he discovers while roaming the wilderness.

Isolation is common in the world today. Isolation is the process or fact of someone being alone. People find comfort in others that they have an idea of what they are going though. In the book Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton, Ethan tries to escape isolation, However his father’s death forced him to give up college to help his ill mother.

The book’s thread of isolation and wandering parallels the theme of Green Day’s “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.” Both present the idea that lacking affection from others leads to wandering ad isolation. Jane is the girl who can declare, “I walk alone.” There is no one in her life that she can rely on so she is a wanderer and isolated from everyone. Since she is alone, she is also foreign to emotions of love, comfort, and the feeling that she belongs. Jane feels that she is “a wanderer on the face of the earth” (231). Jane is an orphan and she is always in a constant search for a family that cares for her. Until Jane finds her family, she will be alone on her nomadic journey. Additionally, her shadow is the “only one that walks besides [her].” She is so separated from everyone that not even stranger goes near her, but only an incomplete version of herself. When Jane falls in love with Rochester, she thinks, “I had made an idol” of him (279). Since Rochester is her God, she does not have God to help her after Rochester betrays her and now she is separated from God’s protection. After she leaves Rochester to start a new life she is isolated from love and all by herself again. Her true identity as an orphan cannot ever be erased. She hopes that “someone out there will find me.” In

It is not uncommon for someone to experience being cut off from their “home”; you are cut off when you go to college, the military, move, study abroad, etc. However, in these situations people tend to adapt, but imagine going somewhere where everything is different; the way people eat, socialize, sleep, have relationships, everything changes.

The woman sets the table for two by placing her finest china and silverware meticulously on the surface. Dripping candles cast harsh shadows across her delicate features, light reflecting onto her glistening cheeks; night has fallen and so have her tears. She drifts into her seat, letting her lips hover over the rim of her glass, eyes dark and vacant. A lump forms in her throat and she sips at her wine in attempt to swallow it down, but instead nearly chokes on her own misery. The precious moments of solitude she once craved now turn into an endless stretch of excruciating silence, creating a vast, dismal abyss in its wake. Later, when she returns to an empty bed, she shivers from the chill that sets into her bones and leaves her weeping. She knows this suffering deeply, intimately, knows how the death of her happiness tastes.
