The loss of a loved one can help us find compassion. In The Road by Cormac McCarthy, the boy is the most compassionate person in the whole novel. At the end of the novel, when the boy 's father dies, the boy is not thinking about hisself and the challenges he will now have to face. He is thinking about covering his deceased father with a potentially useful blanket, something that may seem trivial to us, but is important to the boy. "Could we cover him with one of the blankets?" (McCarthy 279). Another example of love found with the loss of a loved one is in Harrison Bergeron. In this story, there is an absence of love for individuality by the government, but the people still possess some type of love and that is present in the scene where Harrison is killed.

Everyone experiences love in their lifetimes, in one form or another, and the vast majority have also experienced what it feels like to loose a loved one. Whether it be in the form of a passionate partner leaving or whether it is a family member passing on. Because the passionate desire for another person is perhaps love’s most influential form, it leaves a profound emptiness within a person when it expires. In some poems, love is described as this cold and barren context which can grant more pain and hurt than a sense of completeness. This prompts us to question its actual value in our lives.

Mothers are the people who protect us and care for us most in this world. They will do whatever they can for their children.

Even in the midst of gaining $10,000 from which Mama can spend however she’d like she sees her family begin to fall apart before her and puts them first when spending any of the money. Mama acts as a leader of the household and acts with only their well-being in mind; she does this by buying a house for the family, giving the remaining money to her son Walter after buying the house, and allowing Beneatha to see Asagai instead of George.

The poem “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden define the meaning of love and describes the love that a son has for his father. He showed his love, thanking his father for what he did for him by describing that every day he get up early the next day to go to work no matter the circumstances he sustain his family. The father in the poem, is a hard working person who wants the best for his family even though the family never thanks him. For example, “Then with cracked hands that ached, from labor in the weekday weather made” (Lines 3-4). The father demonstrates a scene of love because when you love, you can demonstrate it with actions to let the other person know is important and what can you do to make them happy.

With divorce rates of today being at an all time high, people say that marriage has lost its value. It is also said that it is rare to find a happy relationship. Edgar Lee Masters seemed to believe the same about the romantic relationships of his time, as well. Masters conveys theses feelings through some of the characters of his work, Spoon River Anthology.

is that love is what keeps life going. For example, in the song “Seasons of Love,” the cast finds out that love is the best way to measure life. Love is what keeps one going, and is what brings you up when you are feeling down. For example, even though Roger could have stayed in Santa Fe and live a peaceful life, he returns to New York City because he still loves Mimi. Mimi is what keeps his life going, which is why he comes back. Additionally, even though your life is done, your love will live on forever and will keep your loved one’s lives going. For example, when it appears that Mimi is dead, she awakes, and tells Roger, Maureen, and Joanne that “Angel told me to go back.” This

“Though surrounded by love that would have upheld her, nevertheless she sank and, stiffening, disappeared” (John Updike, 1958). This is one part of the poem that really portrays the reader-response approach to me because I have been in this position. I was holding my dog in my arms while my husband is driving. Knowing that he is dying and there is nothing in the world that you can do. You just have to hold them close and they can feel the love in your heart.

I can feel myself slipping, falling into the dark abyss. My mind whirls as I listen to a cacophony of noise around me. Then I feel the frigid water envelope me and it stings like knives burrowing their way into my skin, piercing every inch of me. I try to breath, but the water clogs my throat and threatens to drown me. Then it all stops and I feel the sunlight filter through the icy water and brush my fingertips, as if it is telling me that I will be alright. This is what I felt like when my heart got broken by the person I believed to be my true love. The dark abyss is depression and the drowning is the waterfall of tears.

But the sunlight is your family and friends coming to comfort you and to tell you that everything will be alright. This essay is my story of how I found love, lost that love, and was betrayed by a friend.

When one thinks of loyalty, they usually conjure up an image of a dog and his master; the dog, following and doting on its master, willing to give up its life to protect him. In the book, “Love in the Time of Cholera” written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, many examples of Loyalty are shown.
