Buy essay on Feelings of isolation and alienation

I would like to talk in this paper about feelings of isolation and alienation that were described in stories “My Left Foot” by Christy Brown and “Marigolds” by Eugenia Collier. I think that in order to understand the man, above all, we need to understand person’s world. The problem is how we should understand the world of another person. It cannot be regarded as a set of external objects, which we appreciate from the outside (in this case we, in fact, never understand it) and not through the identification based on feelings (in this case, our understanding will not bring us anything good, because we cannot maintain our own real existence). I want to plunge into this problem with more details and describe what is revealed in above numerated texts about people and the human condition.
I want to begin from the My Left Foot: The Story about Christy Brown. This story is about Christy Brown who regardless of innate incurable disease – cerebral palsy, became an artist and writer. Just think about this fact! He only moved his left foot. He painted many beautiful pictures by fingers of his left foot. At birth, he had decided terrible doctor’s conclusion, and he subsequently wrote a book about his life. It was a hard way of person who felt isolation and alienation in full degree, because he fight against the whole world around him, the world full of people who think that he is abnormal person without mind and possibility to think and understand surrounding reality.
Information that cerebral palsy – is not a sentence, is now a well-known fact, but it does not avoid the controversial exclusion exposes many sick people in the defective life and the loneliness that is closed in the walls of own house or some alms-houses. I think that the history about Christy Brown presented evidence of life inside the distorted body, the ability of living in it the mind by force of will to succeed and find own place in society, even if it does not believe in the possibility of overcoming physical weakness.
Thinking about the story “Marigolds” written by Eugenia Collier we should mention that it is story about the journey of a little girl Lizabeth to adulthood or it will be better to say that it is emotional story about Lizabeth’s womanhood. Every person have many difficulties on own way and many of them are close to feelings of isolation and alienation, that is why we find similar feelings in “Marigolds” too. Lizabeth is presented as a confused young woman living in The Great Depression, and thinking about marigolds as something disturbing people’s minds by their bright color among grey world of problem and hardships.
Thus, based on both stories and on my thoughts about feelings of isolation and alienation we could conclude that the most terrible misfortune for a man – is psychological isolation. This is not loneliness, but it feels like you have no opportunity to communicate with people, frustration, accompanied by the addition also of guilt. In this case, psychologists engaged in psychological counseling to clients, psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, leading the practice of counseling and psychotherapy, include: feeling of helpless, powerless and unable to make a difference, lead the person in psychological stress and would resort to the most sophisticated psychological maneuvers to avoid it. Both stories show us that their main characters try to do their best to change situation and become equal members of society in spite all difficulties and hardships.
