Nicholas Sparks' The Guardian

This happens when Sara and her best friend go to a speed dating get together. Hitch arrives, being direct with Sara about Albert being a great man and how in love he is with Allegra. Sara blasts back, once again assuming what Hitches motives are with his clients and his own. Hitch is opening up a little in this scene and Sara is not noticing because her mind is still clouded over what she assumes previously. Once Hitch realizes who the source is, he clarifies that the information is false and lets both Sara and her best friend know the truth.

Her life was changed by this event because not only did she meet her future husband, but after meeting him she never went back to Oregon.

This indicates how the outside of the house is narrator's father’s domain while inside of the house is narrator's mother’s domain. It also shows that her father is okay with all this but her mother isn’t and doesn’t want to talk about the killings. According to Reingard, male and female children are socialized according to different role patterns, forming them into two different species, boys and girls (2007). After her father discovered that she let Flora out, she felt embarrassed and put her head down and started crying. She felt as if her father will punish her like he would have with her brother, by sending her to her room.

Brett knows that she will never have an affair with Jake while he... ... middle of paper ... ...one together but also has the ability to turn each other against one another and split them apart. Her carefree attitude about sex puzzles the male character and causes heartbreak for all of them in one way or another. For Jake, his impotence and her want of sex will always keep them from consummating their relationship. For Cohn what was meaningless sex to her has transformed to feelings that will never be mutual. And for Mike, he will never fully be happy with his wife due to the spontaneous and constant affairs she has with random men.

Algernon falls in love with his spouse the moment he meets her. He goes to Jack’s house to meet Cecily and proposes to her even though he has only known Cecily for less than a day. He treats marriage proposal as picking someone who he thinks is good for him even if he does not have prior knowledge about his partner. Second, Algernon lies to Cecily about him being her cousin, and he thinks it is fine to lie. Unfortunately, he does not know that lying has a bad consequence.

Guy de Maupassant's "The Necklace" During the course of Guy de Maupassant's short story "The Necklace," the main character, Matilda Loisel, makes a number of ironic discoveries. In addition, there are other discoveries that the reader makes but Matilda does not. The discovery that forms the story's climax concerns the true nature of the necklace she has borrowed from her friend Mrs. Forestier. But this is perhaps not the most important lesson of this story. As the story opens, Matilda, a young middle-class wife who aspires to join the upper ranks of society, is finally invited to a high-society affair given by her husband's employer.

He is proud of her looks, yet concerned that she will attract the attention of men and is concerned about her new job. He finds it hard to admit that she has become a woman. "I guess I just never figured... that you would ever grow up." However, it soon becomes apparent that Eddie is in love with Catherine. He has not made love to his wife for three months.

Fitzgerald introduces her as the wife to Dick, but it is trough the eyes of Rosemary that we meet a beautiful woman in Nicole. Rosemary admired her because of her great beauty, fineness, and her ease to spend her money buying splendid gifts for her friends every time she went out for shopping. On the other hand, we learned about Tommy that he was a stockbroker, also a professional mercenary, and a good French friend to the Divers. It is not until the incident Violet McKisco saw in the Diver's bathroom that we don't know there is something wrong with Ni... ... middle of paper ... ...injuries he had done. He helped Mary North and Lady Caroline (the Englishwoman he had offended on Golding's boat) to get out of the jail in which they were put for having impersonated American sailors and seduced young girls.

Tom wanted to be a pure, wealthy, high class man, but acted with an opposing personality that led many people to dislike him. “His social attitudes are laced with racism and sexism, and he never even considers trying to live up to the moral standard he demands from those around him. He has no moral qualms about his own extramarital affair with Myrtle…” (SparkNotes). Tom held double standards for Daisy, as when he learned of a potential affair between her and Gatsby, he forced a confrontation with the two of them. Tom always runs away from his troubles so that he will not be caught, and becomes restless so that he will not have to be confronted with his weaknesses.
