One of the main topics in the book ‘The Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson’ is about loneliness. My idea about it is that there are many ways to enter and exit loneliness such as friends and being alone.

There are many ways to become lonely. The main way is by not having friends. Shirley was lonely at the beginning of the story because she doesn’t have friends. Shirley was also lonely because she didn’t have her family with her. she couldn’t spend time with them when she went to America. The shows that there are many ways to be lonely.

There are many ways to exit loneliness. As connected to my first argument, a way to leave loneliness is by getting friends. when Shirley got friends like Emily and Mabel, she was very happy. also connected to the my other Argument is that family can also help escaping the pull of loneliness. When people spend time with their family, they can also get out of loneliness. this is an example that there are many ways to get out of loneliness.

there are also many real life examples of this. when people don’t have friends at school, people will we very lonely. Another example is when my dad was in school. He had to live in the school and one night, the electricity ran out and he had to walk 4 hours in only moonlight back home.

There are many different ways to enter and exit loneliness. As shown in my third reason, this is related to many people’s feelings right now.
