I'll attempt to help you
I'm not so good at that junk either. If it is worth your thought, I have a paper to do on the emotional, physical, and social effects of isolation. I figure that that has something to do with it, since, after I write that, I have to write a case study on Ethan, Zeena, and Mattie. Obviously these characters have to suffer some sort of isolation. You could include something like how each are affected by their seclusion (i.e. Zeena's socially isolated b/c of sickness, Ethan is emotionally isolated b/c he has no one to confide in) It's helpful to look on wikipedia.com and learn what isolation is by definition and look up each physical, emotional, and social isolation too. As far as theme and diction goes, go to sparknotes.com, its my savior. It has it all broken down so that even monkey's could get it (trust me, I should know).
