Love : A Short Story : The Story Of Love

We wake up at 8 a.m. and head to the airport, as soon as we get there we get on a plane for three and a half hours. It is 9 a.m. when we arrive, I notice that we live in one of the main parts of California, LA. Luckily it's only Friday and I don't have to start school until Monday. So on saturday I wake up and decide to go out for coffee by myself. As I am walking I receive a text from my mom and at that moment I bump into someone and fall. I get up and and see a cute guy standing in front of me, I go to say sorry but he speaks first “Watch where you're going!” He exclaimed as he walked away. I didn't even bother to stop for coffee I wasn't in the mood after that unfriendly

The short story, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” by Raymond Carver, invalidates the struggles and the lives of women, especially those that have experienced abuse. Carver oppresses women through lack of empathy for a victim and reinforcement of certain stereotypes.

We walked in a comfortable silence before I made us stop outside the school library, I need to know what he remembers and how he feels about me. “Um, Camilla, I'm pretty sure is this the library, not the science lab.” “Uh. It's camEEla. And I know, I just.” I took a deep breath before I continued. “Do you remember anything about us, or how you were in school before the accident?” “Um. N-no. Not really. Why?” “Well. Um. I'm gonna tell you everything, but can you do me a favor and try not to ask any questions until after I finish telling you everything?” “Yeah of course.” “Um. Okay. Well, for starters, I'm your girlfriend, and you used to be a really bad person. We both were, but you were worst than me. You would lock people in their locker, shove people for no reason when they walked past you, and one time you got suspended for going into the girl’s locker room and taking all their clothes and putting it in the cafeteria. And before you were attacked I was gonna break up with you because you were a real jerk and the feelings that I had for you aren’t there anymore, and now I don’t know what to do because I know that you’re not the same person you were before and I think I have feelings for someone else bu-” “Camila. slow down, I think we should break up too, at least for now. Until I get situated with actually being conscious. I mean, you’re beautiful and

In Raymond Carver’s short story, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love,” Mel, Terri, Nick, and Laura we drinking gin and have a unique conversation about what the concept of love meant for them. Laura is sitting there with her husband, Nick, just listening to Mel and Terri go on and on with his stories. The story that Terri tells about her love interpretation isn’t exactly a happy one, causing the tone to turn to a more pessimistic view on love. Terri starts out by telling a story of her Ex, who abused her and Mel for a while before killing himself. It was obvious that this relationship was far from healthy, but Terri insisted that her Ex loved her. Laura was asked to state her opinion but she simply said, “‘I don’t know anything about

Luv smiled. Rick wanted nothing more than to make her happy, at least in bed. In her heart, she knew she wasn’t ready for another serious relationship and he wasn’t either. Why did she have to pigeonhole it, name and analyze it? She told herself he cared for her. He'd said as much. It was kind of sexy thinking of herself as his mistress or lover. Once you give yourself a label like girlfriend or fiancee' there's list of expectations and responsibilities that come with it. She’d often told women to feed their partner’s fantasies if they were within reason. This was within reason. Lover was much sexier than the other labels. No baggage either. The only expectation was that of pleasure. Before now she hadn't considered herself a live in the moment

I was going for a run even though I was super out of shape. I saw Frank Porter running. At the orchard when he told me he wanted me to help him run I didn’t think that he actually wanted to. He saw me and stopped me. Then he asked if I wanted to run with him so I agreed. Then he asked about when I was at the orchard and asked me if I was alone; he asked where Sloane was. We were really close to his house and he wanted to race; I beat him. We went inside because he was going to give me a water but then we heard his parents fighting so I left. I was at work and this girl came running in and she looked very upset.; it turns out that her boyfriend was cheating on her with her best friend. The worst part was they all worked together at the

Once again, I get butterflies in my stomach. We spit the toothpaste into the sink once we were done brushing our teeth. Marcus grabbed my hand without saying a word and took me to the bed and we both sat down. “Hey is everything Okay?” I asked. “No” Marcus paused “Everything is fine but I want to say that I would love to take you on another date sometime! Do you want to?” “Yes, of course I would love to go on another date with I you and a million more times.” I said smiling at him. Marcus smiled back at me. “Perfect! Let's go!” Marcus said “Go where?” I asked. Marcus smiled and did not reply. He grabbed my hand and left the hotel room. We leave the hotel and get outside. Marcus is looking in all

“What do you mean he has no mother”, I asked.The lady said “His parents were killed in a storm when he was”.I didn't know if I should be shocked or extremely horrified.Some of the other kids had told me they saw Jerry heading toward the laurel.As I approached the field of rhododendrons, I can see Jerry crouched near a tree.I could not tell if it was raining,or tears dropping down the side of his cheek.”I know you're probably upset with me” he said, “I just thought that if I lied then then you wouldn't have to leave”.This brilliant and magnificent child had lied to me.But not for the wrong reason, he just wanted someone that appreciates him.I knew I couldn't just leave this boy at the orphanage.

Who wouldn't want to go out with the most popular gu at school. Being together he asked me to go to Megan's party, which everyone knows couples just kiss each other all night. Of course I wanted to kiss Aaron but not now. I wasn’t ready yet things were moving too fast. He invited me to his house to hang out and talk me into going to the party. We went upstairs to his room and watched tv. While watching tv Aron brought up th topic of going to the party. I tried to tell him it wouldn't be fun and I would feel very uncomfortable, but he kept on insisting. At this time I felt I should leave. I told him I should, I got up and headed to the stairs. When I feel hands take my back and forcefully shove me and go head first down the stairs rolling as if I were a roly-poly. Once I got to the end I felt lost, I looked up and Aaron with tears in my eyes and bruises on my arms and legs. He turns away and says this is what you get for not agreeing with me. “Now I think you should go”, he said

Dan was feeling queasy. 24 hours earlier, he was happier than he’d been in a long time. He had finally built a palace in his mind; a place where he could be truly happy. But it was all crashing down in front of his very eyes. He thought back, trying to figure out where it all went wrong.

“Yes, would you like something to drink?” He called the waiter and he ordered a coffee while I asked for a tea. “Well, I know that I might sound like a girl and you might not be okay with what I’m going to tell you.” Harry said. Whoa, is it that bad? “I like your sister, well, more than like.” He confessed. I raised an eyebrow and I felt my blood boiling.

I flung my weight against the handle of my red wagon. The giant container of mustard was the heaviest thing I have ever encountered. It didn’t matter how heavy this mustard was though because I had to get it to the park. As the sweat poured down my face, all I could think about was the bet that I had made with my best friend Tera. After losing multiple games of Scrabble, I wanted to win something too. This is when I decided to bet Tera that I could eat more mustard than she could. I knew Tera hated mustard as much as I did, so she wouldn’t have the advantage like always. This would be an easy win, and I could finally prove to her that I could be successful too.

There was a tribe that once walked the earth just like any other, but now they fly. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Larry and Marge were madly in love only Marge's father forbid to love because Larry and Marge were born in the same track. March is Father Morty was the leader of their Tribe Called Apotee and the Apotee dislike the Kaketee. Morty believe that having Forbidden Love was like not here to the heart and Larry's father believe that betray was a way of son would show disrespect to his mother and father. Both being disrespectful and having an impure heart or set to their Doom. (Dun dun dun dun!) Marge was to be burnt at the stake so that her heart may be cleansed by the fire and she was able to move on to the afterlife as a pure-hearted person. Larry was to Get Stoned by everyone in the town. Larry and Marge made plans and the night before their rooms and decided that they would run away together.

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

One plus one by Beyoncé was just a rhythmic song which I loved because of the message in the song about never giving up on your lover no matter the circumstances, always sharing an everlasting love and being content with whatever we have, until I scrutinized it, and more complex meaning started flowing through my brain therefore, making visible all the connotations in the song. This song might just be a common love song to most people since they might not have taken the pain to pay close attention to what the lyrics mean. The song literally talks about staying with your lover no matter the circumstances and love is the most important thing in the world. However, I see that, the song is talking more about how humans will not have everything they always want to have but need to learn to appreciate, cherish, and be satisfied with every little thing they have. After I played the song many times, pausing to read the lyrics, thinking about it and finding connections with the song made me find elucidations of the song and it fascinated me so much that I had not found clarifications with this song way before because, it’s something I play regularly.
