From the Paper:

"Patterns, for Newman, are essential for understanding our experience. Patterns can provide insight and meaning into our lives because "the pattern of the whole already contains knowledge of the parts" (Newman, 2002, p. 3). It is through pattern that we can discover the meaning of our experience and our existence. The purpose of this paper is to identify the meaning of the patterns in the story of Miss N. Meaning is interrelated with pattern and one allows the other to be seen. "Meaning in a person's life is not only critical but a way of identifying pattern" (Newman, 2002)."
