In an essay discuss the way in which Naomi Shihab Nye treats loneliness in "The Rider" What does loneliness mean to the speaker?

How does bicycling help her leave her loneliness behind? Cite passages from the poem to support your points.
The Rider

Naomi Shihab Nye



A boy told me
if he rollerskated fast enough
his loneliness couldn't catch up to him,



the best reason I ever heard
5 for trying to be a champion.



What I wonder tonight
pedaling hard down King William Street
is if it translates to bicycles.



A victory! To leave your loneliness
10 panting behind you on some street corner
while you float free into a cloud of sudden azaleas,
luminous pink petals that have
never felt loneliness,
no matter how slowly they fell.

Loneliness means being sad, not having anyone to be with. As he was cycling down the road, he recalled what the roller skater said about skating fast enough to leave your loneliness behind. He wondered if this could also be done by cycling, he found out immediately that this method works. As he pedaled on, he realized he was happy. 


I hope this helps :)

Answer:

The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. Recount a time when you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?

Everyone has faced obstacles of some kind: a struggle with health, a failed personal project, or a financial hardship. This prompt is relevant to most people applying to college – which isn’t a bad thing.

The most important part of writing a personal statement is to show admissions committees how you think about the world and respond to challenges rather than to come up with an entirely new angle or topic. That being said, you probably should not write about a time that you received a bad grade or lost a sports game. Those narratives are overdone and won’t allow admissions officers to get insight into your unique perspective.

What colleges want to see is your ability to be mature, resilient, and thoughtful; they want evidence that you are able to handle the independence and challenges of college. Show the admissions committee how you faced an obstacle, but responded with a creative and dignified solution instead of giving up. Be vulnerable – show your insecurity, regret, and fears. Finally, as indicated in the prompt, describe what you learned and the experience’s permanent significance. If you can’t think of such an impact, you probably shouldn’t be writing your personal statement about the situation. Remember, your personal statement is like your introduction – make sure you’re telling them an important story!

The linearity of this prompt allows you to follow a pretty straightforward outline for your essay: context, obstacle, reaction, result. Putting these parts together, you’ll have a well constructed personal essay! We outlined the basic questions that should be answered in response to this prompt by component (context, obstacle, reaction, and result), but these are fluid and may be placed in whatever section makes the most sense for your narrative.
