• Conclusion
  1. The isolation of the location and the people around the speaker gives a sense of what happened to Henry Hudson. Isolation isn’t just an emotional feeling, but also physically. Many people have felt isolated from family, friends and society based on their own feelings or where they are located. No one should feel isolated especially when you put your trust into people that say that they wouldn’t turn their back on you.
