All I Need by Susane Colasanti is a romantic speed read that can relate to any high school student approaching college in the near future. This book is focused more towards teen girls looking for an ecstatic ending and a true love story. Although, with every love story comes the ups and downs of every relationship. Not every relationship is perfect. Within this book, the two main characters; Skye and Seth tell a love story in which they experience their personal ups and downs of having a long-distance relationship.
Skye and Seth first met at a party at the Sea Bright during the summer. Skye had been walking along the beach when a stranger had approached her, his name being Seth. They both began to hit it off and discover a connection that was

Yes, there will be ups and downs, but if you're in a relationship and you can receive through the challenges, it will only cause you to be stronger. Seth and Skye were able to work through their differences and realized they were the one for the other. No matter what challenges may come in their way, they were ready to take it head on. On the last day of summer, Skye went to the sand dunes, where Seth and Skye had their first kiss. She was hoping that Seth would meet at her dunes hoping that this would be the sign she was always hoping for. As Skye stood there for a couple of minutes, she saw someone who looked faintly as Seth, and it was. He climbed on o the sand dune and cradled Skye so tight saying “don’t ever let me go”. Within that moment, Seth knew this is what he had always wanted in life and now he had finally found it. A few minutes later, Seth pulls out this small ring box and opens it, it was a promise ring. Skye with her mouth wide open was in shock. Skye was exactly what Seth wanted, someone who would be there for him through the hardest time and that no matter what may come their way, they could always work through it together. From this we can conclude that love conquers
no matter how brave or strong we are on the inside and outside. The story Love, Aubrey is about an
Although some people may think this book overexaggerates the stress in a teen’s life, , the author just tries to show the perspective of one teen’s life. The book shows that everyone has their own story and every teen experiences different things, rather good or bad. The book educates readers on teenagers and what some may experience, as well as provides solutions for the hectic lives teenagers may face. Whether a teen uses poetry, like Gabi, to challenge emotions or other activities, teenagers can all relate to each other with the stressful, hormonal life they all
Love, love, love; the only thing everybody talks about. Every movie, every series, every story talks about how two people fall in love and live happily ever after. All stories get to the conclusion that the love the couple shared was unique and that the two lovers matched perfectly together. But what happens when two lovers do not belong to the same social class? What happens when they don’t share common things they like? Are they not meant to be? “In love everything is possible”, someone once said. When someone is in love, he/she would make everything that he/she cans to make his/her lover happy and
Should relationships be compared to others? Is the concept of assumption safe for a union? Is proof necessary for a couple to be happy? Nothing good ever comes of comparing your relationship to someone else’s. It is better to acknowledge that each bond is unique and has its strengths and weaknesses. One of the most important reasons not to compare relationships is that you’re not seeing the full picture. Furthermore, in the last two lines of the poem: “She has her arms around his neck and is crying into his shoulder, He whisks her up into his hut. We look around, but no one is watching us” it confirms that the second couple has issues lying deep beneath their own. Once you begin comparing relationships, you’ll probably start focusing on the
Within the essay, “But What Do You Mean?”, author Deborah Tannen explains several main areas of miscommunication between men and women. Within her article, she goes section-by-section comparing men and women’s preferred style of communication. She concludes that while men and women may communicate differently, neither are wrong. To address this concern, she suggests using language both parties can understand. On the other hand, in William Lutz article, “The World of Doublespeak,” he takes a different approach to language discrepancies. Lutz introduces the idea of doublespeak as inherently negative. He starts by proceeding to discuss types of doublespeak subcategory-by-subcategory. Within his subcategories, he gives various real-world examples from various aspects of communication. The conclusion Lutz resolves to claims that doublespeak impedes communication, and thus should be eliminated. Overall, despite both authors exploring aspects of language the tone, categorization, and conclusions are different.
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage” (Lao Tzu). In the myths Nanabush Creates the World, Orpheus and Eurydice and Savitri and Satyavan, they all have someone that they love. Their loved ones may be their weakness, however, the bravery they have comes from their loved ones. There are different kinds of loves exist whether it is in the past or in the present. Loves are everywhere, it is just how you see it. For example, love in a family can make one’s family strong and reliable and love between wife and husband can make create trust and responsibility. No matter what they must go through, they always willing to save each other.
How do you think a person with a baby on its way have to come of age? Well this question is related to two people named Bobby and Nia but the only thing is that they are both still teens in high school. They are both in a book called The First Part Last by Angela Johnson. I'm going to talk about how they are going to come of age throughout the book by symbols.
Since the last time I have journaled, I have finished The Art of Racing in the Rain and started and finished the book Her: A Memoir. The Art of Racing in the Rain finished with the main character, Denny, finally getting custody of his daughter and ending the yearlong battle that he endured. Enzo dies at the end of the book, but the story alludes to him coming back as a child to visit Denny. Christa Parravani’s Her: A Memoir is a memoir written by Christa after her twin sister, Cara, dies. It shows the struggles the twins endured together throughout their lives, including an abusive father, Cara suffering a brutal rape and embarking on a path of drugs, depression, and overdose. The novel also shows how Christa reacted after Cara’s death, following in a similar path as her sister. The three merits I enjoyed most about this book were how extensive the
As an adult reader who has crossed over to the reality of life, reading about these characters can be a transparent, futile exercise because as adults looking back at youth we have the experience to know where these characters are headed before they even start their journey. However, for young adults who are still in the throes of existential angst this is a powerful novel that handles teenage rites of passage and coming-of-age issues such as loyalty, friendship, belonging, and even death and loss very well.
The fairy tales say that once upon a time a girl met a boy; they fell in love, and lived happily ever after. Reality is not that simple. Long-term relationships force couples to get to know each other, involve themselves in each others’ worlds, fight through the hard times, and eventually develop deeper connections through distinctive stages of Knapp’s relationship model. Although I have dated the same person for over two years, the stages of our communication make it seem as though I am now dating a different person following dissolution and subsequent repair. However, even the most exhilarating of roller coaster rides develop through a combination of ups and downs, much like the stages of a relationship.
Every relationship is not the best relationship because sometimes it is like your trapped and isolated so that makes it harder to adjust and bond. In the story “ The Story Of An Hour” Mrs. Mallard was in an overbearing relationship to where she felt trapped. However, her luck would soon change when she gets terrible news about her husband’s death. Meanwhile, the freedom that she thinks she has at that moment will soon be no more because her husband will not be dead. Furthermore, she will soon lose it once the news is broken to her about Mr. Mallard’s status of health. However, just from that, she will begin losing her sanity and herself all at once. And in the end, will die of a joy that kills or sadness that kills. This relationship can be good or bad because it is not always what the spouse wants (Chopin 720) “The Story Of An Hour” relationships are not for everyone simply because it is a commitment until death and some people aren’t as committed.
Feminism, in theory, binds women from all over the world. They come together to protect their rights as equal human beings. For such a long time, men have dominated over women, looking down upon them and perceiving them as lesser beings. Feminism has allowed women from all cultures and races, to come together to fight for their rights. However, nothing is ever as simple as one may hope. Feminism constitutes women from all over the world, making it difficult from time to time to understand and empathize with each other due to different cultures, races and religions. Teresa de Lauretis (2014) says that “the identity as a woman of color is one not given but acquired, attained, and developed out of the specific historical experience”.
Love conquers everything, no matter how hard trials are. Love indeed breaks through any obstacles that henders two lovers from being together. Even TIME could never stop it.
Is it that love really can conquer and take over all? As I watched this movie, I
Not only is the love between these couples shown in a progression, but they are also shown in a healthier aspect. In the second of the Twilight series, New Moon, Edward breaks up with Bella for her own protection and her response was an attempted suicide. What is this teaching the reader? This is clearly demonstrating complete dependence on another person; while losing someone can be traumatic, and certainly painful, ending your own life is not a reasonable solution. In the Harry Potter series, we have a situation very similar to this one. Harry Potter breaks up with Ginny Weasley for her own protection, but instead of Ginny becoming nothing but a shell for months and attempting suicide, she starts a small army to fight against Voldemort’s followers and fights in the Battle of Hogwarts to defend her school. This is a much healthier example of a relationship. Even though Ginny is hurt and scared, she stands for what she believes in, is strong, and independent.
