What is love? Love is a strong emotion that you can have for anyone or anything. If you love them you can find a way to show them.In some places, love doesn't even exist, because of the environment. This paper will show why love is the main theme of looking at love between family, love between friends, and love is greater than hate.

The love between family in this book is very important. The Murry's family love is very important and very strong for each other. For example, Meg and Charles Wallace love their father so much that they went to go get him. Because when Meg was five years old her brother Charles Wallace was just a baby when he left and never returned. Another example is when Meg fights for her brothers as it says on page 8 it says '' On the way home one of the boys said something about her ''dumb baby brother.'' She thrown her books and tacked him, and came home blouse torn and a big bruise under one eye.'' But their love is an example of what love should be. That is why their love is important in this book. …show more content…

    McCullough describes the family as a paradox. "It was, plainly, a family of paradoxes: privileged and cushioned beyond most people's imagining, yet little like the stereotype of the vapid, insular rich; uneducated in any usual, formal fashion but also uninhibited by education - ardent readers, insatiable askers of questions; chronically troubled, cursed it would seem, by one illness or mysterious disorder after another, yet refusing to subject others to their troubles or to give in to despair" (pg. 37).

    Love and affection is an indispensable part of human life. In different culture love may appear differently. In the poem “My god my lotus” lovers responded to each other differently than in the poem “Fishhawk”. Likewise, the presentation of female sexuality, gender disparity and presentation of love were shown inversely in these two poems. Some may argue that love in the past was not as same as love in present. However, we can still find some lovers who are staying with their partners just to maintain the relationship. We may also find some lovers having relationship only because of self-interest. However, a love relationship should always be out of self-interest and must be based on mutual interest. A love usually obtains its perfectness when it develops from both partners equally and with same affection.

    A particular instance that shows the Westcotts aren’t the "perfect family" and the society they try to conform to is just as imperfect, is the fight between the Osborns. This shows the Westcotts’ community is flawed because Mr. Osborn is overheard being an abusive husband. Irene tells Jim: "Mr. Osborn’s beating his wife! They’ve been quarreling, and now he’s hitting her" (822). This incident also causes the Westcotts to question the "perfection" of their own marriage, and Jim and Irene end up having a disagreement about dishonesty. And it is widely accepted that dishonesty and physical abuse are not qualities of a "perfect" marriage.

    And choose wrong?” (P.98).  From reading this, I feel that the community was able to control problems such as divorce, rape, teen pregnancy, and AIDS.  They all are given a life that is predictable, orderly and painless.  Mostly, they have no memory or experience. In reality, we learn from our mistakes to be better each day.  Experience is the best teacher in the world; unless one goes through sorrow, he or she will never know how it feels. “Warmth, Jonas replied and happiness.  And let me think.  Family, that it was a celebration of some sort, a holiday.  And something else I can’t get the word for it.  Jonas hesitated; I certainly liked the memory, though.  I couldn’t quite get the word for the whole feeling of it, The Giver told him the feeling that was so strong in the room is love” (P.125). Family in the novel is described as a group of people that have a unit or bond that they share each day together.

    This suggests that aside from Harper, Linda is a part of a dysfunctional family as family narratives typically revolve around dysfunction. This dysfunction is the “unhealthy love” that Thomas and DeAnne expose to Linda through their daily lives and marriage, “he and DeAnne had been married for almost twenty-five years, many of them happy…I saw only the other parts…There was only unhappiness.” (6). As a result of their influence, Linda engages in a relationship that parallels her parents’ by dating a man who is similar to her father, “Leopold Thomas Benton-I may have fallen in love with him for his middle name.” (177-178). In this relationship, Linda herself acknowledges that this is not a heartfelt love and recognizes that it is merely collaboration, “Are you in love, Linda? No. Will you marry him? Yes. Why? Because the two questions are not one and the same.” (197-198). She is able to recognize this façade because Harper shows her repeatedly what true love should feel like. Even though, familial love and romantic love have differences, they share similar aspects such as openness and genuineness which enables Linda to form a distinction between real and disingenuous love. Paradoxically, while Linda comprehends that their relationship is not love, she still does not leave Leo until he breaks up with her. This

    Love is arguably the most powerful emotion possessed by mankind; it is the impalpable bond that allows individuals to connect and understand one another. Pure love is directly related to divinity. Without love, happiness and prosperity become unreachable goals. An individual that possesses all the desired superficial objects in the world stands alone without the presence of love. For centuries love has been marveled by all that dare encounter it. Countless books and poems have been transcribed to explain the phenomenon of love, but love surpasses all intellectual explanations and discussions. Love is not a definition, but rather a thought, an idea. This idea, the idea of love, burns inside us all. Instinctually, every soul on Earth is
