Week of September 19, Isolation or Alone Time?

Hi everyone,

This week we are thinking about whether or not it's good to be alone, or just how much alone time a person should have.

Please read the lyrics and watch this video of a song called
Up On the Roof below:


Up on the Roof
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

Untitled from Julie Mann on Vimeo.


When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right in to space

On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me

Let me tell you now
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down in the street

On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Oh, let's go
up on the roof

At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-telling you
Right smack down in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble proof
So if this world starts getting you down
there's room enough for two up on the roof

Up on the roof
Everyhting's all right
Up on the roof
Oh, come on baby
Up on the roof
Up on the roof



Now please read the lyrics and watch a video of
You've Got a Friend below:

You’ve Got a Friend

By Carole King, performed by James Taylor


Untitled from Julie Mann on Vimeo.


When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

    I have a best friend. His name is Saw Yan Naing. But now we are far away because I am in New York and he is in Burma.It is my pleasure to become friend with him because he always helps me with my problems. In my country, we can meet each other everyday. Now we can only talk on Gtalk.

  22. 1.Sometimes we feel tired or overwhelmed because of our routine or any other problem. In that situations is good to take a time to talk to ourselves, relax and get ourselves together

    2.Depending on the situation I stay in my bedroom alone or go to a place by myself like a museum or the Central Park.

    3.It's always good to have people who you can trust and share your feelings and experiences with. For me friendship is important to learn about other people, how to respect them, how to learn with them and also how to help them. So I think that this exchange between people can make us better in many ways.

    4.James Taylor says that friends are important because whenever you need someone to help you, they will be there.I do not disagree with him, but in my opinion friends are also for us to learn how to help them and have good times together.

    5.My best friend in New York lives in Queens. She is a senior at Newcomers High School.She is very sensitive, smart and complex somehow and that's why she's similar to me.We both have similar dreams and likes, so we understand each other and can help ourselves whenever we need.

  23. Dear Ye Htet Naing,

    I liked your comment when you said, “I prefer to spend time alone because I don’t like a lot of noise around me” because that’s what I think about it, too. I think that we don’t have to spend a lot of time with our friends because we also need peace in our life.

    What you liked about their post and why?


    1. I think it is depends of the individual characteristics. Some people need to have some time alone while some feel depressed when they are in that situation. In my opinion everyone should spend some time alone, relax and not think about details.

    2. When I want to be alone I usually take my soccer ball and go to the park.

    3. It is very important that we have friends. You might want to share your problem with someone who is not directly related to you and who is similar or same age as you so they could understand your type of problem better.

    4. According to the James Taylor friends are important because when you have no one to share your problem with, when nothing is going right your friends should always be there for you to support you and make you feel better. I agree with him because I have friends who are always with me no matter what is happening and what kinds of problems I have. I’m also one of these who would do everything for real friends, if I’m able to I would help my friends even tho it would have negative effects on me sometimes.

    5. My best friend is far away from me, we talk to each other over the phone, facebook and e-mail. He is 50 years old and he is the one that is able to help me and support me no matter how far he might be. I have no hidden secrets from him and he doesn’t have any hidden secrets from me.

  76. Dear Natalia,
    I agree with you but most of the part i am not agree with you.Sometimes we need alone time to think about ourselves or when we do homework or study then we also need alone time but we must have or need friends to share our ideas and our feelings because in our life, we will have something difficult to overcome and no one is independent in this world.

  78. 1. Is it important to have time alone? Why?

    It is crucial to have time alone by yourself. Sometimes its good to step away from activities, to take a brake , and have solitude in a positive manner. To think about the the day before, the recent day, or the next day. Ask questions about yourself. Go some where you know you can think quietly, some where you feel comfortable with no one around. If you don’t want to talk about your problems or you have no one to talk to, spending time alone is good way to solve your problems.

    2. Carole King goes up to her roof to be alone. Where do you go for time alone?

    I like to spend sometimes alone when I need it. I like to go some where their is no one to disturb me, so I can think and have a great time. usually I like to go outside and take a walk in the neighborhood.

    Their are so many reasons why it is important to have friends. Without fiends you kind of like the character in the poem “I am”. Friends are a part in your life, they give you support, they help in the most difficult moments. With friends you expand your world, you share ideas, you tell jokes etc. Friends stay attach to you like a chain as long something stronger separate us. Your friends are your secret family.

    James Taylor has a good point in friendship. He said when you have issues you should call your friend it will always be there for you. At any circumstances any time just wait and your friend will come to help you. I 100% agree with him, I think a friend will always come to you no matter what, That why we have friends.

    5. Describe your best friend.

    My best friend and I,have a lot of things in common. We’ve known each other for about 10 years. He is honest, smart and kind. I like to stay near him because he gives me advice all the time, he always encourage me to do something. Actually he is in Haiti , he is approximately 1,975 miles away from me and we have not seen each other for about 1 year . So we kind off miss each other but at least we talk everyday via facebook. Before I left I remember him telling me “A good friend will never let you down.”

    The reason is that when you’re down and troubled,the friends will come and give you some loving care.And your friends will come to help you whenever .When people can be cold ,they will hurt you and desert you and take out your soul.You just call your friends.I agree with these thoughts.
