    She was depressed because for some stupid reasons her boyfried broke up with her and He also made her feel like she was nobody.
    She thought that there will be the only guy for her. I think she was isolated because her mom always was working,
    and her brother passed the way, He died of asthma and that adds up to make her feel isolated because she didn't have anyone to talk with.

    2-Who helped her?
    The doctor at the Hospital and her mom helped her.

    3-what did she do to help herself?
    She moved on.

    The call of Solitude

    1-What does Robert Kull say are the benefits of solitude (alone time)?
    Some of the benefits that Robert Kull say that is good to take a time alone because we need to explore more deeply ourselves,
    give us to ourselves the opportunity to escape from social chaos.Also he went for Research on solitude because he was writing journals and books. He wanted to experience something extreme and change his life in a radical way.

    2-Do you agree with him and why?
    yes, i agree with him because we need space to reflect, to learn about ourselves.

    is very importante for us to spend time alone more if the time is invested in nature because nature makes us relax,
    reflect and forget for a while our problems but not too much as he did,
    because we also need to socialize with our friends and family

    1.Why was Linda depressed? Was she isolated at that time?

    Linda was depressed because her boyfriend Danny broke up with her, for a stupid reason and she was young and ignorant so she taught he will be her last boyfriend. Yes Linda was isolated.

    2.Who helped her?

    Because she was thinking about killing herself, she got help by a doctor in a mental hospital, and also by her mother.

    3.What did she do to help herself?

    Linda tried to change what happened in the pass, she changed her way of thinking about things, she alter her behavior. She made improvement in making important decision in difficult situation. And she moved on.

    1.What does Robert Kull say are the benefits of solitude (alone time)?

    Robert Kull had great time being alone in nature so he experienced the benefits of that. He said when you are disconnect to the rest of the world you have the chance to step out of the social chaos and explore our self deeply also the connection with the world.

    2.Do you agree with him and why?

    I do agree with him in various point. Solitude is the perfect moment to explore the world around us, to discover our needs and concerns to interrogate our self deeper than ever. However we don’t have to go to extremes in the other corner of the world or far away to find out who we really are.

    3.Would you like to spend a year alone in Nature? Why?

    This will be a huge experience, but I don’t feel ready. Like Robert Kull said you need to have a certain inner call something strong in your heart that would push you and insist you to do so. But not everyone have the same call. And I am not ready physically, mentally to spend one year out in a remote place in the planet separated from socialization.
