Hi, I don't usually do this but I am very uncertain of the essay I just wrote. Also please be noted that i did not include an introduction and conclusion. I mainly need help on the grammar and the concept of the body.
Thanks

The first aspect to be discussed is that leaving home is hard but settling in is harder. Leaving home and establishing a new life is a normal part of growing up but it can be a challenging time for the person leaving who is used to being involved in their family's lives and daily decisions. In Courage of Soldiers, Pauline, the oldest daughter in her family, was constantly physically abused by her father and from her point of view towards her father, it was her "failures and disappointments". When Pauline escaped from home with the help of her loving brothers, it was a very hard time for Pauline, the feeling of abandoning her family was just constantly haunting her. However, it was not Pauline who was the only one having a hard time, consequently it was also a difficult time for her family, especially her brothers who's workload were to be increased due to the departure of Pauline.
Settling in a new place was even harder for Pauline; she had to make a new beginning in her life. She was very young at that time and was short of everything. She was homesick and paranoid most of the time. The fear of encountering a familiar face was still lingering around and the thought of returning to her family was unacceptable. The only good outcome from escaping was that she was not treated in an inhumane way anymore.
Another example of the difficulties of leaving home and settling but settling in is harder is shown in Ten Pound Poms. Growing up does not have to be the main reason of leaving home, in this case it was a tough choice for Kathleen Upton as she chose to leave England to Australia in the mid 1950s. Settling in a new country with different surroundings and culture was very tough for Kathleen to take-in. As time went by, things went from bad to worse for Kathleen Upton. Eventually, she could not take it anymore, just after 2 years moving away from England, she has decided to return to where she truly belongs.
Conversely, leaving home can be problematic but settling in is enjoyable for them. Leaving home is no doubt one of the most difficult stages any person can encounter in their lives, but settling in is easier than the thought of it being difficult. There are many reasons to why some people think that settling in would be easy, for example some people crave for their own space ever since they were fed up with being told what to do constantly back at home and for some they are just excited to start a new life. In Ten Pound Poms, 5 out of the 7 people who have left England to Australia to seek for a better life have successfully done so.
In John Howell's case, he had a horrifying time having to accept the fact that his father had passed away, it was very obvious that he was sad that one of his family member had left and the thought of having to move away and leave all the others away was terrifying. But soon after, he was convinced by his brother who already at that time was living in Australia that it was time for a change. When John first arrived in Australia, he very pleased with the surroundings; he did not expect Australia to be so advanced. Unlike the others, he enjoyed his time in Australia. Eventually, he spent the majority of his life in Australia raising a family and fulfilled his dreams in becoming a farmer and a millionaire. He was happy that he made the decision to leave and has never looked back.

The concept of settling in a new place is to be optimistic; it will take time to settle in. Not everybody can accept a new change immediately. "Patience is the key to success" (Andre Russell). Another example of how leaving home is hard but settling in is easy is shown in Courage of Soldiers. Leaving home was a difficult decision for Pauline, but after she has moved out, it did not seem as if she has suffered. Even though, the first few months being away were not very pleasant for Pauline. Eventually, Pauline managed to successfully start in a new life, she grew up to be a very ambitious women and she lived freely. But most importantly, Pauline and her father bury the hatchet over her childhood misunderstanding.
