At 2:25 there is the sound of a beating heart. This reminds me of how much my heart used to thud in my chest. Since Kevin is my first love, there was a point where I didn’t know what was going on. I was so confused by my feelings and the word “love” freaked me out. In “Cosmic Love,” at 2:07 the harps start slowing down. This reminds me of a time to think and reflect; reflect about what I was getting myself into and if I was ready for it. At 2:34, the music comes back loud and intense. That’s when I realized that I am ready to commit to this relationship, no matter what. Throughout the song, the combination of the drums and harp is so electrifying that it reminds me of the feeling that I would get in my bones, when I realized that I was in love with Kevin.

The next song in my suite is, ¨How to Disappear Completely,¨ by Radiohead. This song represents the time when Kevin was away at school and it made our relationship very difficult but do-able. While Kevin and I were able to fight the distance, it was emotionally taxing. We would go months without seeing each other. I always felt so alone. Kevin was my best friend and I couldn 't have him by my side. Sometimes, I thought that he was a figment of my imagination. It felt like I had this strong connection with someone who wasn 't real, because I wasn 't able to see him. There were days where I felt like my insides were tearing apart. I wanted to fade away. There were nights where I would sit on my bed and cry because the distance was killing me. The overall feel of ¨How to Disappear Completely¨ really resonates with how I used to feel, when Kevin was away at school. As soon as the song starts, you can sense the very slow pace of the acoustic guitar. At the 15 second mark, there is a long drawn out song of a guitar or violin? That sound adds a dramatic flair to the song, an extra emphasis on what the song is trying to convey. The background sound at 1:00 sounds like a gentle siren; a call for help. At
In the first stanza, first line; I saw two trees embracing, this means that there is a couple that is in love. In the second and third line we see that the male is weaker “one leaned on the other, as if to throw her down” and in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh line we notice that the female has the strength, willpower and is dominating. In the second stanza, line one, two and three we see that the female being dominant makes the male feel broken and intimidated. In line four “the most wind-warped, you could see”, hear we see that there is a major problem between the two.
Every human being is entitled to his or her own personal way of life, making that person his or her own individual. The idea of an unbalanced role in life between the sexes is ongoing, and is beautifully described in Kay Boyle's short story, "The Astronomer's Wife." It is here where the author states, in order "to survive women cling to the floating debris on the tide" (59). No longer would the astronomer's wife need to hold on to something to survive, for she has found her identity because of the plumber's clarity and truthfulness, something she has been denied by the astronomer. A similar life lesson, with a much different approach can be examined in Flannery O'Connor’s short story, "The Life You Save May be Your Own," as the story’s main characters all discover themselves in the end. In addition, John Milton's sonnet "When I consider how my light is spent" also presents vivid ideas concerning personal identity and recognition of self. Though many would act in ways differently from that of the characters in these great works, all individuals share the experiences and truths that these literary pieces present through subtle comparisons as well as contrasting elements. It is clear through these readings, which have recurring themes, that in order to love and cherish others, we must first be able to identify with ourselves and dig deep to discover who we truly are.
The Lais of Marie de France is a compilation of short stories that delineate situations where love is just. Love is presented as a complex emotion and is portrayed as positive, while at other times, it is portrayed as negative. The author varies on whether or not love is favorable as is expressed by the outcomes of the characters in the story, such as lovers dying or being banished from the city. To demonstrate, the author weaves stories that exhibit binaries of love. Two distinct types of love are described: selfish and selfless. Love is selfish when a person leaves their current partner for another due to covetous reasons. Contrarily, selfless love occurs when a lover leaves to be in a superior relationship. The stark contrast between the types of love can be analyzed to derive a universal truth about love.
The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness. Jeremiah 31:3 NIV.
Initially going into reading this play, I thought it would just be a traditional telling of the environment, setting, and little information about our protagonist. However, I seemed a little odd that the setting was just describing the scenery of the play itself with curtains and we are introduced to the stage manager for the play. The Stage Manager explains significant parts within the play like, scenery, landmarks, and certain objects. Few pages in, we’re finally introduced to two actual character in the play itself. Joe Crowell Jr. and Dr. Gibbs are the characters we are introduced to. As explained by the Stage Manager, Crowell was a college graduate from Massachusetts Tech. However, there was “the war” came to France. This war being World
Imagine you and your best friend processing your relationship to the point where both of you love each other. Seems normal? The love transforms. Now one of you wants to kiss the other. In Benjamin Alire Sáenz’s novel Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, two teenage boys become best friends after a couple of days. As time passed, Dante desired to kiss Ari and they do which directly connects to their homosexual love that Sáenz depicts with tennis shoes. Throughout the book, tennis shoes display Ari and Dante’s homosexual love for one another by revealing them as characters who refuse to value shoes.
Love is a strong affection for another individual based on personal ties according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Love has mean definitions throughout the world we live in today. In some cultures, love has been defined as the sexual devotion of a mother for her child and in other cultures the essence of love was the chaste devotion of a knight for another man’s wife(pg520). Although love has many definitions and interpretations it can be looked at in two perspectives. One perspective which is rooted in practical help and affection. Also, another perspective that only focuses on affection. In the perspective which practical help and some affection shows love for a person the individuals have to be in a mutually beneficial relationship were

Researchers and others all have a different opinion of this topic. Platonic love is defined as the friendship between a heterosexual male and a heterosexual female with no other intention.

Growing up, my parent 's marriage was always conflict habituated. Their relationship was mostly intense with commotion and arguments. They never seem to get along well. As a child, seeing my parent 's relationship, I conceptualize that love wasn 't really real nor was it important. As I got older, my parent horrible treatment towards one another became something I carried on as well, due to all the years of the actions being modeled. Although, I told myself that I would not become like my parents, that I wouldn 't mistreat my partner, I would be able to control my anger, and that I wouldn 't emotional abuse my partner, I ended up making all those mistakes because that was all that i know growing up. I didn 't know what real love was like or
Sometimes I even cry when I listen to this song because of all the emotions it makes me feel. When I listen to this song I even feel inspired to love even more, and to forgive. It makes me miss my loved ones. It makes me relax and forget what is going on around me. Example: when my boyfriend and I are mad at each other and I listen to this song I right away let it all out and after I let things out I feel better and I find the way for us to be good again. All this happens because this song makes me think of all the beautiful things the person I love has and that it is beautiful when you love someone and that person loves you the same or even more back, and that’s a magnificent feeling.
Many marriages attested to the consequences of splendid and poor marital choices. These marriages exhibited themselves as either “a marriage compared to bearing the cross. A union compared to a foretaste of heaven.” The author, Gary Thomas, focused on Matthew 6:33 as a good example of purposely striving for God’s best within marriage and finding a blessed marriage. Many people disregarded Matthew 6:33 when searching for a marriage partner and dated on the basis of love and attraction. However, this verse, when abided by, showed a respectable guide for objective dating. When someone first fell in love, they tended to lose reason due to infatuation. This purloined their reasoning abilities and proved dangerous in dating. Instead, Mr. Thomas suggested that overlooking their infatuation to evaluate their reasons in dating and marriage based on godliness, character, and purpose proved far better. As people sought for a closer relationship to God, they developed a proper perspective of marriage.
Poems are very complex to understand but also is the most expressed pieces of writing that will tell you a whole story in a matter of fourteen lines. There are a lot of types of poems, some may rhyme and some may not, some may be longer than other and some are so short that most people don’t understand them. The secret behind a good poem is what the writer is feeling while writing. William Shakespeare is one of the most famous poets in all history and its very influential that most teenagers have to learn his biography and his poems because these are now part of the basics of literature. He created sonnets called Shakespearean sonnets which are poems about love
Around the world people love. They live for love, they write for love, the sing, eat, cook, die and kill for love (ForumNetwork, 2009). Since the beginning of recorded time, people have wondered why love is such an intense and universal feeling. There is no culture in this planet that does not have love (ForumNetwork, 2009). This essay will only talk about romantic love were sexuality and attraction are involved. Romantic love, is one of the most powerful energies on earth (ForumNetwork, 2009), it is indeed one on the most addictive substances we can experience at least once in our life. The rush of cocaine and the rush of being in love depend on the same chemicals in our brain (ForumNetwork, 2009); we are literally addicted to love. The feeling of being in love does not depend whether the other part loves you back or not, it will help you feel more happy that is for sure, but the intensity of the feeling loved or heartbroken is the same, they both depart from the same principle: the love and desire of the other. Love remains in the most basic system of our brain, under all cognitive process, under all motor impulses; it is placed in our reward system, the most ancient systems of all (ForumNetwork, 2009).

The theme that speaks to me the most is Love. What love means to me is when people have a feeling of deep affection towards another person. God gave us a precious gift that we should all cherish which in today’s time most people are tempted by the devil to not love the way God wants us to. I will discuss different points from the Old and New Testament, am going to be mentioning scriptures about love that is in the Bible. I chose the theme love because as I said before love is a precious gift that God has given us to cherish and love others as we love ourselves. In the Old Testament love is described as affectionate, strong liking, romantic, and sexual implications. Love is described in the New Testament as it has more specific meanings than the English word meaning “love”. I believe that God gave us this gift so that we can share it among others and not harm on another because God loves us all the time even when we are sinning.
