(The unconditional love the story represents)
Have you ever loved someone so much you would do anything for them? Would you give up all you had for that one person? Would you make more than just a small effort to keep that person in your life? In the story Federigo 's Falcon by Giovanni Boccaccio, shows a man who would do anything for the women that he loved. The man’s name was Frederigo, and he wasn’t wealthy, but the women he was in love with was very wealthy. The story is a love story in many different ways, and it’s also a story about family. The falcon does play a big part of the story, but it’s what represents the falcon that we are reading. The three messages in the story are love, family,

The love can be when you are young, old, or even middle aged. The first thing about love in the story, is that people are doing the same thing our generation does, back then. People know that someone is in love with them or if they truly care about the person, and they use that to get what they want from them. The truth is this love story starts out as any normal life story. The gorgeous, and wealthy women doesn’t notice the poor man with a falcon. She does notice him when her son want’s the bird. It’s sad that most people,don’t care who they hurt as long as they get what they want. The love story is about how the two people from different nobility brackets finds love over a death of a bird. “ My lady, ever since God decreed that you become the object of my love” on page 164. This man was so in love with this woman he would have done the unthinkable for her. The story is mostly a one sided love story that shows most of people’s love stories, there is always one person committed more than the other. They may not have been together, but the fact of it is she knew that she could get whatever she wanted from him, and all he wanted was to give her everything. Obviously, there are many flaws in people’s love lives, but some aren’t as true as we …show more content…
It’s about what a mother would do for her son that was ill. She went to a man that she barely knew, and went out of her way to get her son one last gift. Family is about everything in life, you have to work at it, but most of all you have to have love to have it all. Family is everything in life, whether it’s brothers, sisters, moms, or dads. I know of many people who would give up anything for their families. I also know a mother that would have done anything for her ill child. A family is about people who stick together through things good or bad. They know most of everything about each member in the family. You have those inside jokes, that no “outsider” would get because they were just that cool. Families have the love that, no one can take away or replace. The fact that families all around the world try to make it work, are one of the best parts about a family. “ The lady was was somewhat taken aback, and began to consider what she could do about it” on page 161. The mother was willing to do anything for the one true love of her life. Her son was extremely ill, and all she wanted to do was try to help him get better. She wanted the one man she could count on to get better in time, turns out that is not what happened. Family is about doing the unthinkable for the people that you love unconditionally, and sacrifice what you have to put food on the
It portrays the idea that people worked hard and long in terrible conditions and still were not bringing much home. It was especially hard during this time to raise a family if you were considered part of the “working poor.” For example, Ehrenreich meets a women named Caroline who is raising a family while barely scraping by. Caroline explains to Ehrenreich that her and her children have had to move multiple times, and have even been homeless. Regardless of everything that Caroline is in good spirits and always puts others before herself, she even goes out of her way to make Ehrenreich some chicken stew to take home with
Family is a story about slaves, masters of the land, and the interconnectedness of what it means to be “family”. Loretta is the daughter of the Master of the Land and as a child spends time with Sun even teaching him to read. She was going against the law in doing this and she helped him to escape. Loretta was not a mean person; she risked a lot for Sun and truly cared about him. She knew he was her half-brother and treated him with respect.
Spending time with each other, having strong morals and giving a lot of love are a few of the things that give families hope and happiness. In the novel A Death in the Family (1938) by James Agee, a family has to use these advantages in order to make it through a very difficult time. During the middle of one night in 1915, the husband, Jay, and his wife, Mary, receive a phone call saying that Jay's father is dying. Ralph, the person who called, is Jay's brother, and he happens to be drunk. Jay doesn't know if he can trust Ralph in saying that their father is dying, but he doesn't want to take the chance of never seeing his father again, so he decides to go see his father. He kisses his wife goodbye and tells her he might be back for dinner the next day, but not to wait up for him. Dinner comes and goes, but he never arrives. That night, Mary gets awakened by a caller saying that Jay has been in a serious auto accident. She later finds out that he died. The rest of the novel is about Mary and her family's reactions to the death. This experience for Mary and her family is something that changes their lives forever, but it doesn't ruin them. If someone has a close person to them decease, he or she feel as if they cannot go on, but because of the close family ties that Mary, Jay, and their children shared, they know that they will be able to continue on after Jays death.
Family relationships are our first introduction to living with other people. In the novel, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, Billy Lynne is part of a small family that lives in Stovall, Texas. He lived with his mother, father, and two sisters. Like most families they were not without drama and were as dysfunctionally close as some families. Billy’s sister, Kathryn states, “Some days I think I am living in a bad country song.” [79] Kathryn is referring to the father’s infidelity and their mother’s crass attitude toward the now disabled provider. A sentiment that that they all share, in some small way in their hearts, but they still loved each other. This was evident through the chapter entitled: “Bully of the Heart.”[74] The scene that was described when Billy arrived for his short visit home was a hallmark moment for the family. The tears and hugs mixed with laught...
The beginning of the short story starts with the narrator's description of her mental state and the perception of her family members towards her condition.

The movie is all about the Joad family and their pursuit to find the American dream. They are a very poor family who lives during the great depression. They decide to leave their home that gets demolished and move to California in order to hopefully get some work, make some money, and eventually one day own land of their own again. The main themes of this movie were the pursuit of the American dream, and how it can be completely different depending on the people. The Joad family when compared to Jay Gatsby or The Buchanan family. They did not want everything, they just wanted to be fed and have a place to call their
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.
Have you ever stopped and thought about what everybody in the world has in common? Family is a very common thing. It could just be a group of people that you care about and love or it could just be a person. Family is always together and family never falls apart. Family is that one group that you love and worry about and it can be that one person. In the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton family is a very important thing. Family is the best blessing to have. The theme S.E Hinton talks about is family always sticks together.
James McBride ends the book on a high note leaving the conspicuous notion of the truth of life’s difficulties and the truth that things can get better. He says it in his own words and I quote, “This isn’t the movies; this is the real world…Love is unstoppable. It is our greatest weapon, a natural force, created by God.” (292) The book seems to be a collection of their lives’ tribulations all leading up to the impact of the combination of two in success, the success of a successful family and the finding of their selves.
It tells a story about two traveling ranch workers, George and Lennie, trying to earn enough money to buy their own ranch. As it is set in 1930s America, it provides an insight into The Great Depression, encompassing themes of racism, loneliness, prejudice against the mentally ill, and the struggle for personal independence. The book can be a parallel of what many people were going through at the time. Also it touches on how skewed the American Dream could be or if it even existed at all. There were many themes that encompassed this novel and really represented what the United States was going through at the time.
The conclusion I inevitably reach is that Faulkner wanted to portray family as the ultimate unit of society. Without a family, you cannot fit into society, and if you do not fit into society, you are essentially alone.
The main event is the death of the child, which has happened previously to the beginning of the poem. This event foreshadows the death of the marriage which will happen after the poem.

Online 10, she shouts at him, “You couldn't care!...
What is love? It seems to be a pretty simple word, but there is so much meaning behind it. Love is difficult to define, difficult to measure, and frequently difficult to understand. Love is what great writers write about; great philosophers wonder about; singers sing about. Love is a very powerful emotion. Love saves; love conquers; love creates. Love is passion that cannot be controlled. Both poems we have read, Waiting for Icarus and One Art, tell us how love alters human minds and hearts, making people in love struggle with the desire to remain in control of themselves and with the scary feeling of “losing themselves”.
The story shows you how an unexpected twist in the plot can affect the whole out of the story. The story is about a woman, who has heart problems, and she learns about his death, and when she finds out he is alive she dies of joy the doctors think. Also, this story shows you how women were treated back in the 1800’s. The USA has changed dramatically over time because women are treated equal. Therefore, the moral is to never not expect the unexpected, and all ways treat others with respect because it could hurt you or others.
Love has been expressed since the beginning of time; since Adam and Eve. Each culture expresses its love in its own special way. Though out history, though, it’s aspect has always been the same. Love has been a major characteristic of literature also. One of the most famous works in literary history is, Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. This story deals with the love of a man and a woman who’s families have been sworn enemies. There love surpassed the hatred in which the families endured for generations. In the end they both ended up killing their selves, for one could not live without the other. This story is a perfect example of true love.
