True Love In Noah Calhoun's The Notebook

“Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely” (Unknown). People change and grow because of the challenges and conflicts they have in life. A person I know that has changed and grown a lot from a conflict is my mom because a couple years ago she ripped a tendon in her back, and she had to get many surgeries and wasn’t able to walk for a while. She grew a lot from that experience and now she can walk and is still getting better. In “The Street” by Richard Wright the young boy narrator has to overcome his fears and fight some thugs in order to buy his mom groceries. He faces an incredible challenge that makes him have to change extremely quickly. In “First Love” by Judith Ortiz Cofer the girl narrator has a crush on a boy that is a couple

Aubrey’s mum turned up and told Aubrey that she didn’t come because some days are too hard

A world full a blank expressionless faces connected to even more mindless robotic people. A world where one just breathes and eats, but never truly feels any emotion. Our world is on the way to becoming this, but for Millie and Montag this was a sad, sad, reality in Ray Bradbury’s book Fahrenheit 451. Everything grows with time as did our main character Montag throughout the book. Montag begins as a mindless follower and evolves into a fearless leader. As he grows into this leader his relationship with Mildred goes through multiple changes. Montag and Millie’s story is broken into three parts. Montag first and most briefly believes he and Millie were a fairy tale couple and then Clarisse made him realize that he was in a loveless relationship, but finally in the last few pages Montag comes to peace with everything that has happened.

Does your marriage still felicity as same as your dating time with your wife? Most of people’s love is affected by children, work and stress after married. Therefore, more and more family was broken, only 30% people get happy marriage. In essay “Masters of Love” by Emily Esfahani Smith, She introduced two kinds of couples that is the masters and the disasters. The masters were still happily together after six years, but the disasters were broken up or had really bad marriages. Those people who are masters all have a same characteristic that is they understand how to use kindness to manage their marriage, so I extent Smith’s claim “Kindness makes each partner feel cared for, understood, and validated---feel loved.”

In T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," the author is establishing the trouble the narrator is having dealing with middle age. Prufrock(the narrator) believes that age is a burden and is deeply troubled by it.. His love of some women cannot be because he feels the prime of his life is over. His preoccupation with the passing of time characterizes the fear of aging he has. The poem deals with the aging and fears associated with it of the narrator. The themes of insecurity and time are concentrated on. This insecurity is definitely a hindrance for him. It holds him back from doing the things he wishes to do. This is the sort of characteristic that makes Alfred into a tragic,

"It’s a hard thing to explain to somebody who hasn’t felt it, but the presence of death and danger has a way of bringing you fully awake. It makes things vivid. When you’re afraid, really afraid, you see things you never saw before, you pay attention to the world. You make close friends. You become part of a tribe and you share the same blood- you give it together, you take it together." Serving in the Vietnam war was never easy for Tim O 'Brien, he had some very interesting things that happened to him.

In this scene out of the book, the grandmother, Red Sammy, and Red Sammy’s wife spark up a conversation with each other. The conversation explains how you can’t trust anyone anymore. Red Sammy says, “These days you don’t know who to trust.” While the grandmother states,” People are certainty not nice like they used to be.” (450).

In the book Love, Lucas, a 17 year old girl named Oakley Nelson is trying to find a way to deal with the loss of her brother from cancer while her parents are not getting along. Shortly after the funeral of her brother Lucas, Oakley was given the choice to go with her mom to stay with her Aunt Jo for a few months to help grieve. She decides to go with her mom and stay with her Aunt who lives in California. When she arrived to her Aunt’s house, Oakley was amazed by the view; across the street from the house is the beach. Once Oakley gets her bags settled in, she goes to the beach. While she was at the beach, she met a guy named Carson who was a local. Oakley and Carson quickly began hanging out after they met and started dating. One day, Oakley and her mom got into a fight so Oakley went to her room. Her mom came in after and apologized. She then handed Oakley a

Love represents protection, caring, and honesty. Love is invisible, and it only appears after serious events. For example, in The Outsiders, Darry’s love for Ponyboy is throughout the novel, but Pontboy misunderstands Darry, but finally he realizes the love that Darry has for him. Darry’s love for Ponyboy appears clearly to him only after Ponyboy gets hurts because Darry was mature but strict, Darry burst into tears when he sees him after Ponyboy gets hurt, and Darry becomes more gentle to Ponyboy.

A universal theme could apply to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Such as love. Anyone, anywhere could fall/be in love.That's not the only type of love though and thats not always how it can turn out to be. You never know who, what, why and where you can find your true love. It can be comforting, dangerous, and can put you in all types of awkwars positions. For example, in "Beautiful Creatures" a fantasy, young-adult fiction, romance novel written by authors "Kami Garci" and "Margaret Stohl"and in "Matched"also an young-adult, romance written by "Ally Condie. With both of these texts i can compare and contrast, how they both fall in love and deal with it and the consequences. In Beautiful Creatures you can run away from many things but not love. Matched shows that not everything will go as planned.

The author, Cormac McCarthy, shows in the book that love can overcome anything if there is still a little bit of faith left that is why the man still believes that the boy can turn society into a better place. The only thing that is driving this man to live is the boy because he needs to protect the boy at any cost. When a member of a bloodcult crew confronted the man about not using his gun because he only has two bullets left and using the boy as a hostage, the man instantly shoots him right in front of his son. The man thinks his killing was justifiable, but was questioned by his son if they were still the “good guys.” The father reassures him that they are still the good guys, or at least reassures his son to feel that way because he has

Junot Diaz, the author of “A Cheaters Guide to Love” writes his short story with many different references to anti-feminism. He writes about women in different ways to show them as powerless, and un-superior to the main character in the short story. From this short story, Diaz conveys the main characters ways when he shows the him talking about, the girl he calls to have sex with, the women at the yoga class, and the files read at the end of the story that show the fifty girls he cheated on his fiancé with. Diaz creates his main character and puts him in the second person to relate to the reader, but show his anti-feministic signs.

J. Alfred Prufrock constantly lived in fear, in fear of life and death. T. S. Eliot divided his classic poem into three equally important sections. Each division provided the reader with insight into the mental structure of J. Alfred Prufrock. In actuality, Prufrock maintained a good heart and a worthy instinct, but he never seemed to truly exist. A false shadow hung over his existence. Prufrock never allowed himself to actually live. He had no ambitions that would drive him to succeed. The poem is a silent cry for help from Prufrock. In each section, T. S. Eliot provided his audience with vague attempts to understand J. Alfred Prufrock. Each individual reader can only interpret these

For this essay I will be unraveling two poems to find a deeper meaning from The Norton Anthology of World Literature, Volume B. The two poems are “A Lover’s Prize” by Beatrice of Dia and “The Wound of Love” written by Heinrich von Morungen. Heinrich and Beatrice are considered to be medieval lyric poets; however, Beatrice was a medieval lyric poet from France and they are known as troubadour. Beatrice just so happened to be apart of southern France’s trobairitz which was just a tribute to some of the best troubadour of their time. She was married to the Count of Viennois, Guilhem de Poitiers but she was having an affair with another troubadour who went by the name Raimbaut d’Orange and their poetic style was quite similar. However, when it comes to Heinrich von Morungen not much is known about him. From the little we know about Heinrich, we find that, his style of writing fit into the category of Minnesang which means “songs of love”. His lyrics (that have survived) are also some of the greatest in early German history. Nonetheless, these writers have both put forth some impressive work.

In the poem, The Love song, written by T.S. Elliot, J Alfred Prufrock is a man who is very lonely and insecure. He goes throughout his life wishing for a change, but never stepping up to the plate and actually making a change. The title of the poem portrays to the reader that the poem is going to be full of love and romance. The reader soon found out later that the poem is just the opposite from the title, a sad, lonesome man who is not only lacking love, but also lacking self confidence and self esteem.
