Feliks Skrzynecki and Mean Girls

The Poem, Feliks Skrzynecki, composed by Peter Skrzyneck, explores a relationship amid father and give-and-take, and their contrasting experiences of belong to a new place to make home. My mendd text, The Perks of being a wallflower, a novel composed by Stephen Chbosky, is a history narrated by a jejuner who goes by the withal known as of Charlie. Charlie explains and analyses various scenes in his life by writing a serial publication of letters to an anonymous per password whom he does non know personally.When the story begins, Charlie is shy an unpopular, he is a wallflower, provided when he decides to be bodacious enough to talk to the prettiest girl in the school, Sam, his life transforms and he experiences introversion, teenage sexuality, abuse, drug and alcohol use, and the awkward times of adolescence. The opening line of Feliks Skrzynecki, My flaccid father, allows the reader to predict that this poem can not only be considered a noticeable tribute to the compose rs father, but can also imply a physical journey.This idea of a journey becomes more evident throughout various areas of the poem including the metaphor used is stanza seven, afterward that, like a dumb prophet, watched me pegging my tents further and further south of Hadrians wall. This line allows the reader to understand that the father could foresee the result of his sons detachment, but chooses to stay quiet to allow his son to key for himself.The line in stanza three, His polish friends, alship canal shook hands withal violently conveys a finding of discomfort within the son, it is evident that the son feels detached from the violent ways of his heritage and feels like he does not belong, like he is an outcast. This line strongly relates to a line on page 8 in The perks of being a wallflower, any(prenominal) kids look at me strange in the hallways because I dont decorate my locker, and Im the unmatchable who beat up Sean and couldnt stop crying after he did it. I guess Im pretty emotional. I feel these two lines strongly relate because they both explain a feeling of being outkast, they create an restless mood in which you are positioned to understand that they dont feel as though they belong. In stanza six of Feliks Skrzynecki, an image of peace, security and be is conveyed. My father sits out the evening with his dog, smoking, watching stars and street lights come on, keen as I have ever been, This stanza creates a harmonious airwave through the accumulation of positive images.It conveys a constrast between Feliks self enough and Peters discontent. This line also conveys Feliks capacity to enjoy a experience of be that has come through his experiences of suffering. His mind has been broadened to understand what really matters in life. The line, I set down on his old bed, and I looked through the windowpane at this tree that was probably a lot shorter when my dad looked at it. And I could feel what he felt on the night when he realise tha t if he didnt leave, it would never be his life.It would be theirs. At least thats how hes rear it. , from my related text related to the previously mentioned stanza through the sense of their fathers happiness. Both fathers have been through pain and suffering and come to the blossom where they knew exactly what they needed to be happy, to escape the harsh reality. In stanza one, Skrzynecki writes, love his garden like an only child, spent years walking its circuit from sunrise to sleep. Alert, brisk and silent, he swept its paths, then times just about the world. The place that Feliks feels most safe is in his garden, it is his sanctuary, it is where he belongs. His experiences of war had lead to a chosen state of positive isolation in a safe and secure place that he could control.On page 198, Chbosky writes, I laid down on his old bed, and I looked through the window at this tree that was probably a lot shorter when my dad looked at it. And I could feel what he felt on the n ight when he realized that if he didnt leave, it would never be his life. It would be theirs. At least thats how hes put it. I feel that these two lines coinside through a sense of belonging, whether it be to a place, a feeling or a memory. At a particular point in time, they were where they belonged. Through evident points, it can be seen that belonging is a feeling of acceptance, as a natural fellow member or part, and that belonging is a basic need for human ferment and survival. Both texts show a timeline of both good and bad experiences, but convey a feeling of contentness within their chosen homes or wherever it is that they feel most comfortable, where they feel they belong most.For Peter, it was his childhood, when boththing was easy and nothing hurt. For Feliks, it was in his garden, his only sanctuary and for Charlie, it was between the two people that made the biggest shock absorber on his life, Sam and Patrick. While the endings to both texts are not besides happy, they challenge the idea of belonging in there own ways and it can be conluded that Social isolation can have prejudicious consequences on an individual or a society and that happiness and belonging go hand in hand. You cannot feel like you belong every second of your life, it just isnt human.
