Ethan Frome

Living alone, in a remote rural area, without any means of communication, would create a completely new lifestyle. You would no longer learn about the new things occurring every day, or be able to keep up with what is happening in the world. I think that what would basically happen would be that you would be frozen (for a short time) as whatever you are as a person when you went into this isolation. Then, you would gradually develop into a person that would be unrecognizable to the old you.
 However, there would be beneficial effects of living this life to many people. I, for example, do care what people think of me as a person (although I care more of what adults think than people my own age). Putting myself in isolation like that would allow me to develop freely as a person, and really ponder on who and what I want to be. But, I would absolutely hate a life like this. My favorite thing in life is meeting and learning from new people, and being able to do that every day of my life. I love being around people of all ages, and I would much rather live my day to day life surrounded by people constantly than live it alone. Although I do love quiet time to myself, I just would not do well in isolation.

    I love the idea that living in isolation would allow you to grow freely as a person without outside distraction/influence. Maybe your purest self?
