Due to General Zaroff’s savage doings for satisfaction, he seems to have lost his humanity and de-valued human life far more than the Villagers and their customs did. Both characters in these two short stories felt that what they were doing was the right thing. In “The Lottery,” they mention “that over in the north village they're talking of giving up the lottery.”(Jackson, paragraph 32). Old Man Warner calls the north village a “pack of fools” stating that, that is not the way to go. He believes they must carry on this tradition and he never has come to realized how awful it is.
They were having trouble interacting with others because of how badly war affected them. They were all affected differently, and their personalities were affected. They were isolated from society because of the war affects, for example, Chief Bromden pretended to be caged in and have a lack of communication, as well as him being “dumb & deaf” showed how he was isolated from society. The hallucinations of the fog showed how he was isolated because the fog was used as a safe place for him. McMurphy was portrayed as a heroic individual that sacrificed themselves for others.
Everyone at some point in their lives feels alienated. You feel so isolated from society that you wish you were never a part of it to begin with. But some people take it so far that they completely go against what society has ever told them. The characters that display this alienation, but taken to the next level are Holden Caulfield from "The Catcher and the Rye" and Meursault from "The Outsider". My arguments that I will be discussing are depression that the two main characters show throughout their everyday lives, how they have difficulty in socializing with others and the negative emotional states, differences and struggles that is demonstrated by the two main characters in these novels.
She’ll be upset you’re skipping. Won’t she mark it on your record? You don’t want to be kicked out like some street con” (Lu 35). Clearly displayed though this quote citizens who live in poor sectors are perceived to be thieves. These implications serve a purpose in that the people who are living in these circumstances have no way of escaping their economic conditions because of the dehumanized state the slums serve.
Firstly, people in the Duvitches neighborhood don’t accept them because they were a poor family. “But the Duvitches were marked people. They were the one struggling family in a prosperous community—and poverty, amid prosperity, is often embarrassing and irritating to the prosperous” (3). This proves that people were embarrassed by the Duvitches because they are not wealthy like most people on Syringa St. Secondly; the Duvitches were not accepted by their neighbors because they looked, and dressed differently. The text states, “They were considered unattractive physically.
Also the lack of teacher & student relations has even ruined my generation we feel as though there’s no one to fight for us. Are neighborhood crisis is just as bad as our education crisis and that’s just as bad as our financial crisis. These are the top three issues we face. For some it’s hard to acknowledge experience and use it to humble themselves. Instead we look at the worst and allow it to worry us.

Noel Morris English 100 Professor Jenny Webster 6 May 2014 Foster Care: The Faulty System Many people assume kids in foster care are automatically doomed and do not have a future. It is also made known to both the youth and the public that they have no chance because of the negative statistics that are always publicized and those who are succeeding and making something of themselves are rarely heard about. Also, it is presumed that those who have been in foster care will experience homelessness, substance abuse, unemployment and other unfortunate outcomes (Facts About Foster Care, n.d.). It is the system’s fault for failing the youth and not properly preparing them for adulthood. The foster care system needs to make changes, so that youth are successful.
Many just need the right opportunities shown to them to change their whole perspective on life. Many of these people had no choice but to become homeless. Economic problems such as being laid off work, or the rise in the cost of housing had lead people to live on the streets. People with mental illnesses also become homeless quite often. These people are incapable of handling the stress of living on their own.
There are also countless individual cases of people not abusing the system. Unfortunately, as with most things, there are those who do abuse the system. Those are the people who usually ruin a good thing for the people who do follow the rules. In today’s society, it is very difficult to find the types of quality jobs that were available years ago. The condition of the economy and the uncertainty of the times we live in put added pressure on individuals who are responsible for maintaining employment and supporting their families.
