`` Samurai s Garden `` And `` Things Fall Apart ``

The word isolation is defined as meaning, â€Å"The state of being in a place or situation that is separate from others† (Merriam Webster 1). Isolation is very powerful in that it leads to many negative effects and causes people to feel left out, as well as, separated from the group. However, isolation can have differing effects on different people, while isolation can negatively affect some, it can also cause people to find themselves. Through the use of the characters Stephen, Sachi, and Okonkwo, the topic of what isolation really is will be assessed, and what exactly this very same isolation can cause will be found. In Samurai’s Garden by Gail Tsukiyama, and in Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, Stephen, Sachi, Okonkwo and Nwoye, are all isolated, thus causing them to strive to regain identity in their new lives. During Samurai’s Garden the topic of isolation is exemplified through the characters Stephen and Sachi. Both of these characters are isolated in their own ways and have both differing and similar effects because of this. However, they are both individually isolated for valid reasons that were mostly out of their control. As such, this isolation has caused them to become enlightened as to who they truly are and the new identity that they have obtained. The character Stephen for example, is sent away from his family and friends in order to go live in Tarumi after he becomes very ill. This serves as a prime example of isolation of others by one s own peers.
