Adnan's Short Story 'A Love Lost'

He wasn 't. I was like he 's a p...I 'm trying to conv-- explain I’m seventeen, like “He 's a player! He has a lot of girls!”” (Episode 2: The Breakup p. 37). Undoubtedly, Koenig asserts an exceptional point, Adnan is popular among the females in his school and he most likely isn’t completely devastated by their breakup. Although he was a bit emotional, he moved on. Others also advocated a similar statement, “But nearly everyone I’ve spoke with, Adnan’s friends and teachers say he took the breakup like anyone would. Adnan’s friend Mac Francis said Adnan initially was devastated and jealous about the new boyfriend. Said he grumbled about it in a typical guy way, nothing strange. Everyone I talked to said some version of this, that he wasn’t rage filled or vindictive. He was just sad” (Episode 2: The Breakup p. 36). Sarah Koenig asked many people and none of them announced anything extreme between Adnan and Hae after their breakup. After analyzing these pieces of evidence, one can infer the claim of being upset over Hae isn’t verified through anyone. Another component to Adnan’s innocence would be Asia McClain and the library.

Super Sad True Love Story, America, next to of course god america i, and I, Too, Sing America, are all story/poems that in some form or another address the theme of American exceptionalism and patriotism. In each of the titles, it is established that America is not as revered as it once was or possibly could be and that change needs to take place.

It is clear that the novel, Family Life, is not all about the life of the author, Akhil Sharma’s family. The fictional novel has a similarity that can be applied to all families. For 13 years this is one of the themes Sharma was studying and implementing into his work. The majority of the audience who reads the book may feel a connection between themselves and the Mishra family in some sort of way. We may wonder why Ajay is the way he is, which may seem different at first read, but will eventually be revealed as an aspect of commonality to our own lives. Such aspect is Ajay’s inability to have a significant relationship with another character, because of his unfortunate family life experiences. These experience range from his family’s life in India, to his family’s life in America, and onwards.

When Ashima and Ashoke move to America, they have two children, Nikhil and Sonia, who are both quite immersed in American culture. While their children are like this, they try to hold onto their own Indian cultural traditions. Because of that, the family can be divided many times. In particular, Nikhil doesn’t always respect his family’s culture which proves to be very challenging for Ashima and Ashoke because they remain attached to that culture when they move and want him to grow up a certain way. Although the audience can not blame them for feeling this way, it is easy to sympathize with Nikhil as well. Many children of immigrants embrace their heritage, but that is not the case at all with Nikhil. He hides it from people, embarrassed by it, for most of the story. Of course that upsets Ashima and Ashoke and makes them want to push their son into accepting the Indian culture as his own.

The main factors in this book were family life, schooling, government and the occasional sports. Family, for Adeline (the main character) was not very good.

When Adeline’s father remarried (to a younger lady named Niang) they had two children.

In Love’s Letter Lost by Andrea Fitzpatrick, Fitzpatrick analyzes Annie Proulx’s work from Brokeback Mountain. Through this critique, Fitzpatrick espouses multiple important figures that can be identified through a homosexual love story between two cowboys. Fitzpatrick discerns that the first important figure in the story is the fact the author does not set the story up in a chronological order. The story foreshadows the past at the beginning to give insight to the reader on the previous history between Annis del Mar and Jack Twist. The second important figure is introduced throughout the entire story. The temporal looping is an important aspect because it emphasizes a symbolic meaning throughout the story between the two men. Fitzpatrick provides context when Jack lassoes Ennis’s feet when he tries to walk down the slope away from Jack. This event follows with a wrestling match between the two men that escalated to an intimate moment between the two men. The third important figure can be found as the men exchanged postcards with each other. These postcards were written in code because the men

As for the second couple, it comprises of Chandini, a Canadian-born Sri Lankan woman and her French-Canadian boyfriend, Jon (see Photo 2). Chandini and Jon are in their late twenties and have been dating each other for over 4 years. The couple first met at a party thrown by mutual friends. They will be moving in together for the first time during the summer. While Chandini was not seeking her parents’ approval in regard to her moving out, she was still very nervous to announce to them that she was leaving. Her task was made easier by an older sister who had eased her parents into the whole dating non-Sri Lankan people. Prior to the beginning of her relationship with Jon, Chandini’s elder sister had herself been dating a French-Canadian

Khin asks, “He is a white Indian?”, because she is Burman, and because she in Burman, she’s held to the cultural standards of marriage. (Pg. 21) Khin, due to her ethnic brainwash, is concerned about his race more so than anything else. She was raised and taught the Burman traditions, and to change her mindset all for one guy is an occurrence that only strong love can overcome. This happened in the beginning of their relationship when Khin was very loyal to her ethnic group. The people of Burma were once irrevocably shaped and controlled by Burman traditions, but this took ages to change and revamp their system. With time, Khin overcame this stereotypical pattern and started a new wave, with the help of Benny, for the acceptance of biracial couples. With the teamwork of the two peoples from different ethnic backgrounds, they were able to conquer this situation by embracing their differences and learning from each

Ali illustrated in one scene the character of two married couples, the real relationship between them, and the difficultly to

I woke up to see Nyle and Lucy signing to each other. "Good morning loves," I signed. "Morning babe," Nyle replied kissing me. "We have to go meet my partner today," I signed. "Momma I go with you?" Lucy asked. "Yes love bug," I replied,"let's go get dressed." I took Lucy to her room and changed her into a dress with a white to and black and yellow bottom. "Momma I don't want to wear this," Lucy whined. "You're already dressed and we're running late," I said as I slid in a yellow headband. "No momma!" She yelled. "You better fix that attitude or you can go stay home with Uncle Maks," I said. She just rolled her eyes. "I saw that," I said walking out. I went to my room and got ready. Then I got Lucy and we headed out. We drove for

I met her two years ago and we did not have much to say at that time. Little did I know that she would later steal my heart and become an intimate part of my life. As the saying goes "there is someone for anyone at any time in this life" and I was about to find out that this saying was so true. I have had a wall built around me and my defense was as a stronghold to protect myself from all the relationships that have come and gone over the years. I thought that I was meant to be alone in this old life and happiness was forever gone from me. This wonderful woman I am speaking of is Mary Doe, and the joy she has given me has revived my hope and faith that I may have finally found love and peace within. She has made me feel like I am a child

I always thought that I did not need anyone but myself. A black and white world with only myself in it. I never really cared for anyone; if I did they would be a family or a close friend. Anything romantic was always thrown out of the window. I did not want to think about love or even pay attention to it. That all changed when I fell in love. It changed my whole world and how I viewed it. It is not just liking someone and being in a relationship; love is so much more than that. Love is a wonderful feeling. Love took me to places I have never been before; it taught me a lot about myself; it is a wild roller coaster ride.
