Cs Lewis 4 Loves

In the movie Casablanca, directed by Michael Curtiz, two different kinds of love are exposed. The love relationship between Ilsa Lund and Rick is a more passionate relationship while the one between Ilsa and Victor Laszlo is more intimate. Love is composed of different feelings and because of that it can be expressed, as seen in Casablanca, in different ways. “The Intimate Relationship Mind”, a text by Garth J. O. Fletcher and Megan Stenswick, helps support that claim providing a scientific background on how love is shaped by those different feelings. It says that “love is composed of three distinct and basic components that each represent evolved adaptations; namely, intimacy, commitment,

thesis what Aristophanes defines as love. He believes that love is innate: " love is born into

The original study “The nature of love” was focused on gaining more understanding of human development (Hock, 2013). It involved a series of experiments done by Harry Harlow in 1958, in which he

Love exists in the short story “The Bear Came Over the Mountain” by Alice Munro and in the short story “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” by Raymond Carver. in Munro’s short story the plot is that of a mentally ill wife, Fiona, who falls in love with another patient while her husband still tries to hang on to their old love. Her husband eventually wants to have an affair with the wife of the man his wife is having an affair with. Their love changed because of their circumstances due to ill health. Carver’s story discusses the different definitions of love due to the type and quality of relationships; everyone has a different definition. Love also exists all over the world within different environments and cultures. The concept of love depends upon the environment in which it inhabits. Love is dependent on the life of the people in love and it also depends on their current environment. Nature and nurture are also huge factors into the development and process of love. What nature and nurture mean is whether it is due to how the person lives and acts along with their personality compared to whether it’s all in their genetics beforehand. Love is more on the nurture side instead of the nature side of human experience.

I believe the purpose of a memoir of mourning, such as a grief diary serves as a way for the writer to express their feelings, and come to terms with the loss of a loved one. In the book A Grief Observed, by C.S Lewis, he had recently lost his wife to cancer, and took the time to create a memoir including all of his thoughts and emotions all while dealing with the recent tragedy. Sometimes writing thoughts down can help you clear your mind, and decrease your stress, so it probably helped him emotionally. Also, this book could serve as a tool to help readers discover their own grief and emotions.

C.S. Lewis is one of the greatest authors in history. His books are still widely available and sold to many interested readers. In Lewis’ childhood, he experienced a tragedy that affected his belief in god; in his middle life, he mainly focused on college and his studies, but his father’s death played a role in Lewis later becoming a Christian. In Lewis’ later life, he married one of his own fans. Clive’s passion for writing began when he was a small child, and it continued to grow as he furthered his education to become a college professor at Oxford University. Lewis is still remembered today for his great works, such as The Screwtape Letters and The Chronicles of Narnia, which is a popular series among children.

C.S. Lewis, also known as Jack by his family and friends, was, and still is one of the most influential writers of all time. From his early years, Lewis often struggled with religion and for his whole life, he focused heavily on redemption and salvation due to his journey to faith. Struggles with religion stemmed from the death of his mother and questioning why God didn’t answer his prayers to heal her. Later in his life, Lewis applied religion to the world in such a way that he believed everything which occurred in life served a bigger purpose. Lewis became very close to J.R.R. Tolkien who heavily influenced not only Lewis’s personal life, but also his writing, which allowed him to publish some of the most widely popular novels of all time.

From my perception of why a person reads I easily agree with CS Lewis’s quote. It would seem to me that most people take advantage of the reasons we read. While reading we yearn for adventures or stories that help us escape from reality, so in a way we reach out for characters, stories or adventures. This doesn’t necessarily mean that a person is physically lonely, but rather that there is more experiences out there. Whether a reader’s life is dull or eventful, reading a new story can fill voids. One comparison to this would be a curious mind wondering if there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. They study the endless void in the sky eager to find new treasures. In my view this means a person can intentionally or subconsciously

C.S. Lewis once said, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” Within the quote, one can understand the Christian views of C.S. Lewis. Many know C.S Lewis as a fantasy novelist who wrote the infamous Chronicles of Narnia (Proquest Learning Literature). However, many don’t know that his other writings reflect his beliefs as a Christian. His vast variety of books allowed him to reach a large audience that ranges from children to the elderly ("About C.S. Lewis") . As an author of religious polemics and allegorical fiction, CS Lewis is considered a brilliant and influential Christian writer of the 20th century.

Frustration. The feeling that we will not have time to finish. (C.S. Lewis p. 60)

The feeling of affection is similar to finding peaceful refuge in a place that once used to be a gas chamber. A gas chamber is to be choked on, a gas chamber is used to kill, a gas chamber is used solely to end one’s life. Affection feels like fresh air that one has the option to breathe after being set in a massive room with only shower heads. One could run around trying to escape but somehow the walls that are farther than usual become closer in proximity one by one until the darkness creeps in and one succumbs. Affection is the light that guides one out through a small hole in the wall and out into the woods only twenty feet from a courtyard. Affection is the freshest of air sent to be breathed only through one’s lungs as to save thee.

The book Why Love Matters: How Affection Shapes a Baby’s Brain explores how significant love, affection, and security are to development through all life stages, particularly focusing on the periods of prenatal development, infancy, and toddlerhood. Throughout her 250 page, second edition book, Sue Gerhardt shares in great detail the adverse effects that can be seen in a person throughout their entire life if the need for love is not met early in development. Ms. Gerhardt draws on numerous studies to strengthen her argument for the need of love, but while her argument is that love matters, the majority of her writing centers around what happens when love is lacking through the critical years of infancy and early childhood. Though the urgency

In the excerpt from Surprised by Joy, C.S Lewis reflects on the events that led him on his journey to becoming a writer. Beginning in the seventh year of his life Lewis recounts the move of his family to their new home,which in Lewis’s own words was "less like a house than a city”, and all the wonders of the seemingly endless amount of books that it held. With his brothers departure to boarding school and his education being primarily guided by his mother and governess, Lewis found and indeed often created for himself his own solitude. It was Lewis’s dream however to build things but, alas his single jointed thumb was the cause of a clumsiness that would not be overcome. On that note Lewis was driven to the pen and ink never dreaming of all
