This girl is like a toddler, in the fact that she is always following her boyfriend, trying to help because she loves him, but maybe not comply grasping on what he is trying to do. After playing a goofy game of one on one basketball, the pair begins to follow a trail behind her house. They cross a river, the boy helping his girlfriend across, they mess around near a pond, the boy pretending to throw her in, finally, the two sit in a nearby forest. After talking for a while, the boy bets that he can climb a huge tree, She watches while he ascends the tree. Once he reaches the top, he calls down, and when the girl looks up, she begins to cry, she could not explain even to herself why she broke down. Afterwards when looking back on that day she knew that “tomorrow, or next week, or next month, the joy would be all gone-gone to someone else and so would he”(Patrick3). Just that small change of perspective, just seeing him up on the top of that tree, the first boy she had loved, against the tree of her life, she realized that someone that seems will last forever will almost always, like

Robert Penn Warren's poem “True Love” express the power of love and attraction to cause an unrequited love to become a source of nostalgia, admiration and the idealization of the intended for the admirer. The narrator and admirer, reminisces on his childhood memories of the older girl, still idealizes her to the point of her being a mere object rather than a real person. Years after the boy’s memories, the narrator still holds shallow impressions of the girl’s reality though but has grown to have a slightly deeper view of her situation.
The song I chose is Runaway Love by Ludacris featuring Mary J. Blige. The song was released in 2007 on Ludacris’s fifth album Release Therapy. The style or genre is rhythm and blues and rap. The song is very soulful and emotional. Ludacris is the main voice in the song and raps all of the verses telling a story, however Mary J. Blige is the emotion behind the lyrics and she sings the chorus. The mood of the song is sad and emotional. There is a rhythm though if beats that draws the listener in. The beat is made by a clapping noise and makes the listener want to clap along to the beat. The songs tempo is not too fast or too slow. It's slow enough to be soulful but it's still fast enough to rap to and has a beat. The instruments in this song are the guitar, base, and keyboard, along with background vocals.
Henry Ford was born July 30, 1863, on a farm in Greenfield Township, Michigan. His father William Ford was born in Country Cork Ireland and his mother Mary Ford was born in Michigan. Henry Ford spent his childhood on his family's farm, located outside of Detroit, MI. When Henry was twelve, his mother died during childbirth. Henrys father gave him a pocket watch in his early teens. At 15, Henry dismantled and reassembled watches and clocks of friends and neighbors dozens of times, and gained the reputation of a watch repairman. Henry repaired my watch plenty of times. I had the very first Rolex Oyster watch, in other words, the world's first water-resistant timepiece. This was no easy watch to work on and just watching how much he loved to take things apart and put it back together just made me think he’s going to invent something big one day. I came from a rather wealthy family and this is how I met Henry. Him being only fourteen and I was just barely thirteen I was always being impressed on how good he was at fixing things mechanically. I had a huge crush on Henry and when I would break ...
Although their love has endured through many years, it has come to an end in the story. All throughout the story the couple is reminiscing about their life and while they are there are some odd details that are strewn throughout.
This story is mostly about a girl named India Opal Buloni a caring girl who wants friends, a mom, and her father to act like a father but she later learns that she can’t hold on to something that wants to go. She also learned that you should not judge people by their past but (if you judge people at all) you should judge them by what they are doing in the present
Ninety percent of Americans marry by the time that they are fifty; however, forty to fifty percent of marriages end in divorce ("Marriage and Divorce"). Love and marriage are said to go hand in hand, so why does true love not persist? True, whole-hearted, and long-lasting love is as difficult to find as a black cat in a coal cellar. Loveless marriages are more common than ever, and the divorce rate reflects this. The forms of love seen between these many marriages is often fleeting. Raymond Carver explores these many forms of love, how they create happiness, sadness, and anything in between, and how they contrast from true love, through his characters in "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love". Four couples are presented: Mel and Terri, Nick and Laura, Ed and Terri, and, most importantly, an unnamed elderly couple; each couple exhibits a variation on the word love.
The young couple talk for hours, those hours turn into a everyday routine. Exposing one another about their dreams and aspirations, teaching the other a new thing. A deep feeling begins to grow is this the one? She thinks to herself. Things change fast rushing like a waterfall nothing to stop its current. He is evolving some days he feels like the one other times it feels like a game.
Nonetheless, this really is a tale of compelling love between the boy and his father. The actions of the boy throughout the story indicate that he really does love his father and seems very torn between his mother expectations and his father’s light heartedness. Many adults and children know this family circumstance so well that one can easily see the characters’ identities without the author even giving the boy and his father a name. Even without other surrounding verification of their lives, the plot, characters, and narrative have meshed together quite well.
A fourteen-year-old person from this story is an example of how people gain experience through life lessons. Not all lessons are dramatic, like in this story; but we make important decisions that help us to gain experience. These experiences may be gained through love, gain or loss, but in some way or another they have changed our point of view. The "The Bass, the River, and Shelia Mant", written by W.D. Wetherell, tells about a boy’s first love and his first date. First loves and first dates are something that may relate to everyone. This story show that the outcome of a first date may not be what one expected, but in the end something more may be learned. I think we should follow our heart and to not change for someone else.
for him from the first, and was in a way to be very much in love (Austen 16)
Love is something that every person needs and almost every person falls in love to someone or something. Almost every person experiences the first love and remembers it for rest of his or her life. I can define the first love as when one person has extreme feelings for another person for the first time. First love is not something that we can forget. First love is one of the best experiences I ever had. My first love is my crush. An interesting thing was that the person I had a crush on also had the same feeling for me. I never thought that someone would have a crush on me. My first love is my current girlfriend, the gorgeous beauty queen Jalila. There were lots of nice moments that I had with her which is just a memory now, and I like to share these memories.
Love is like a rose that blossoms into great beauty. Love starts with a seed that has been carefully planted in the garden. Love is much like when meeting someone for the first time. Getting to know each other is just our roots planting firmly in the ground. With each day love is growing stronger and stronger. In the poem by Ezra Pound, “The River Merchant’s Wife: A Letter” the wife married at fourteen and by the time she was sixteen her love had grown so much that she longed for her beloved husband to come home. The speaker tel...

“I don’t care what you think, when he comes I’ll leave and won’t even turn back and look at you, he’ll love me, he won’t be like you…” Words spoken by me when I was barely 10 years of age. I was addressing my mother after we’d had an argument and referring to the arrival of my prince charming who would understand all my dilemmas and make life ‘heaven’ for me. Such is the perception of romantic love that I formed ever since I began to realize the dynamics of the relationship between a man and woman.
