Analysis Of Cut Off The Telephone

Living in a world without connection seems like living without meaning. As humans, we need connection to thrive in spirit and health. Connection is felt by words, touch, gestures, and most importantly love. This profound connection can be taken away instantly by isolation. This revelation is shown in Charlotte Perkins Gillman’s 1892 story “The Yellow Wallpaper” and in a Everyday Health article that both shows what can happen to a person’s mental and physical health when they experience social isolation and disconnection with the world. Experiencing isolation in the wrong way will inevitably be hazardous to one’s health. People need human connection to diminish the negative impacts of isolation.

The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. ~Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook I wish he knew that I can't survive without him. I wish he knew that I'll always miss him. Hope this would stop him from leaving. I wish he felt my grief in a world without him. I wish he felt my anguish. Hope this would stop us parting. I miss him, his love, his smile, his support. I miss being near him. I miss being adored by him. I miss being cared. I wish those broken promises to complete. I'm doomed, lost, perplexed. I'm sinking in this achromatic world. Won't you rescue me? I agonize you won't. I really wish I'd started my life backwards with old age striking me in the beginning. Fathom life with handling diseases. Meet you on a

“Many people are afraid of Emptiness, however, because it reminds them of Loneliness. Everything has to be filled in, it seems—appointment books, hillsides, vacant lots—but when all the spaces are filled, the Loneliness really begins.” (p.147)

In Japanese poetry tradition, loneliness seems to play a vital role in the choices one can make. Men, women, and other living creatures experience the feeling of loneliness often, but the decisions made during loneliness are rarely explored. The feeling of being alone and secluded can be portrayed in multiple ways, but two Japanese poets decided instead to portray the decisions they made during their loneliness. In their poetry, Saigyo Hoshi’s hermitage and Yosano Akiko’s sexuality reflect their feelings of loneliness and what they do about it.

The title seems like it’s so sad and the author is lonely and how it relates with the concept of love. “Once I read it, it was like the author was talking to a woman about love but once I read the whole thing, the author was talking to his lover. The first stanza the author talks about love and explains to the woman that things are not how they used to be. The second stanza it seems like she agrees with him and says how they were young and foolish. In the third stanza the author explains loves physical appearance very rudely. In the final stanza, the author yells to love that man will die, and what will there be for Love?” (Nadasky) Metaphor, He says that he was a boy when he was young, and not yet a man. Personification, He seems to give

Like abandonment or homelessness, alienation is something that all humans beings fear. While some are able to strive off the world’s alienation from them, by believing that they have a chip on they shoulder, others, try to search all their life to find acceptance from someone. Whether this acceptance may come from their family, friends, or one’s local church, all these people want is acceptance. However, when one realizes that they have been alienated from society, they begin to feel signs of depression. With the lack of human interaction, one lacks the motivation to even wake up in the morning knowing that nothing eventful will happen when they go to work or when then they come back home. However, humans can also alienate themselves from society because they choose to. As one grows older they may believe that humans offer nothing to society, but irritation and annoyance, so they choose to seclude themselves from these people and, in turn, this alienates themselves from society. Unfortunately, just

In lines 3 and 4, it states “When you can no more hold me by the hand, nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.” The length of the sentences are pretty lengthy being that they are complex sentences. There are not any sentence fragments, nor are there rhetorical questions throughout the poem, “Remember”. In line 6, it states “You tell me of our future that you planned: only remember me;” Parallel structure is thus shown in that line. Aforementioned, the narrator wants to be sure that when she does pass, her beloved remembers her. There is a continuous repetition of the words “Remember me…” There is also a repetition in the beginning of the poem when the author says “…when I am gone away, gone far away…” the words “gone” and “away” are repeated and the word “far” is added into the ending of that sentence to add emphasis on how she will be away. There is not much variety as to how the sentences are structured and patterned. The author has the poem in an iambic pentameter in the opening of the poem consisting of the pattern ABBA ABBA and later towards the end of the poem going to CDE CDE. The poem is organized into one stanza that is consisted of fourteen

What is loneliness? To some, loneliness is the desperate need to be around other people. To others, loneliness is just another sad emotion. So how does an author successfully blend a tone of loneliness into their writing? In “The Thing Around Your Neck” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, many themes become clear: stereotypes, acceptance of one’s heritage, or even new beginnings. However, there’s an underlying sense of loneliness hidden in Adichie’s short story as well. Akunna’s experience is told through the second-person, so the reader is able to step into the shoes of the main character, experiencing her story as it’s told. The second-person point of view is especially known to amplify feelings through retelling

At times have you heard single toddlers talking to themselves? Or a homeless talking to themselves? Or elderly speaking to themselves? Have you questioned whether being lonely can cause you to become ill? Psychology, the study of the human mind and why it functions a certain way, has led to a recent new discovery (Google). Loneliness is a controversial subject nowadays, especially since it is associated with depression and early death. Loneliness dates back to history when humanity relied on one another to survive the hot scorching days in the deserts or in the frigid cold. On top of loneliness making you feel unhappy, it also makes the human body feel mentally and physically unsafe due to the feeling of loneliness (Gammon). Some believe that it can cause an early death, while others believe it is more of a psychological issue that needs to be dealt with. Despite the existing controversy, new research demonstrates that there is a biological link between feeling the sensation of loneliness and illness (Gammon). The discovery that loneliness can actually cause you to become ill has to do with the sensation of being alone, rather than the physical isolation itself.

The author describes `her' father's way of coping with his wife's death and with the loneliness he is going through, and afterwards `she' tells her own experience after the death of both her parents, feeling in some way identified with her father and finally understanding him after having been in his shoes. The old man copes with the death of his wife and the associated loss through denial, keeping little rituals to pretend she is still there. By repeating everyday habits as they used to be when his wife was alive, he feels in a way relieved from the excruciating pain he is experiencing, and these routines are the only thing that makes him forget she is gone. This idea of something cyclical is reinforced by the repetition pattern established by the very regular rhyme of this poem. In the last stanza this rhyming pattern is changed, though. The rest of the poem presents an A-B-A-B pattern, while the last verse's is A-B-B-A. This translocation of the rhyme seems to represent the shift that has taken place. She has changed places with her father, now she is the one that keeps rituals in order to unconsciously fool herself and pretend that her parents are still alive.

Isolation has been portrayed in numerous texts for hundreds of years and is still a common theme in literature today. Isolation is not only portrayed in literature but also occurs in real life situations . The effect of isolation on its victims is that they try to overcome their state of isolation by finding a way to obtain some sort of companionship, whether it is with an inanimate object, imagination or with an animal. One does not require to be all alone to be isolated as there are different types of isolation, and one that is quite common today is being socially isolated. The four texts that portray one of these subtopics are ‘Cast Away’ directed by Robert Zemeckis, ‘I Am Legend’ directed by Francis Lawrence, ‘Miss Brill’ by Katherine Mansfield and ‘The Bath’ by Janet Frame.

The fourth stanza represents the speaker’s sudden will for the maidens, as they were all he wanted, until he decides on reasons as to why he may not need them. This only happens after the speaker addresses that “they faded, and, forsooth, I wanted wings!” (31) He gives reason for love and ambition to be given up on but cannot find a reason for poesy, as it is his favorite of the three. In the fifth stanza the speaker understands that the figures have no influence on him and indolence is simply the way to keep, he refers to them and says “Oh shadows, ‘twas a time to bid farewell! / Upon your skirts had fallen no tears of mine” (49-50). In the final

While the second part contains many strong images that are easy to convey, the contrasting first part is more elusive. The piano introduction starts like the ninth song – the beginning of the lover’s relationship – with two contrasting two-bar phrases. I try to convey the speaker’s desperate need of the beloved and his longing for unobtainable happiness on the one hand and the warmth and calm tenderness of the moment on the other hand. The outer quietness of the night contrasts the inner turmoil of feelings. It is tempting to consider only the “sacred rest” at the beginning of the song, but thinking forward and feeling the connection in the sentence works much better for conveying the couple’s underlying apprehension and their need to feel close to each other. The connection in the sentence also helps me to shape the interlude before the second part of the poem. The entry in bar 16 can be difficult for the singer if the preceding ritardando does not feel organic or gets too slow. If I think of the colon, I manage to shape the interlude in a way that makes the singer’s entry seem inevitable. I lead with the left hand while simultaneously bringing out the tension of the repeated right-hand chord syncopations. I change the dynamics entirely the moment the singer enters with the speaker’s hushed plea not to think of the horrors that might await them by using the pedal and a silent attack to let the sound of the left hand fade

The only way to escape and replenish his soul is through writing poetry. In line 15, the speaker doesn’t care about the reason behind her absence, all that’s important to him is that "the night is shattered, and she is not with me." (16). When the speaker hears someone singing in the distance, he bring back up the fact that he is alone. Thus, he concedes “my soul is not satisfied.” (18) In lines 19 and 20 the speaker communicates his aching to reunite with his lover. His sight and his heart is trying to find her, but yet, he is still alone. In stanza 6, the speaker declares that he no longer loves her, but he admits he loved her greatly in the past. In the final two lines, the speaker is determined to erase the memory of her in an attempt to ease his pain, insisting that this poem will be “the last verses that I write for her.” (32).

The first half of the poem is comprised of a more complex syntax than the second half. The sentences in the first half are longer, averaging 3 lines each and use a more descriptive diction with words such as “anxious”(line 3), “encouraging”(line 5), and “sideboards”(line 2). This heavier style brings forward an oppressive element as the meaning is trapped behind dense language. In the second half, the style becomes more simplistic with sentences averaging 1-2 lines and word choice becoming more concise. This change in style clearly presents the meaning in the second half taking away the oppressive atmosphere and reinforcing the distortion of the narrators’ feelings.
