Love You Forever Book Analysis
By: Matthew Strong
Love You Forever is a classic heart-warming story by Robert Munsch built around a simple, but eternally meaningful commitment from a mother to a child to love him forever. Robert Munsch has become a world-renowned author of children’s books for his unique use of exaggerated expressions that produce sounds that are very appealing and fun for children. In Love You Forever Munsch uses words like “crazy” and “zoo” to add the effect of comedy but the overall theme of the story strikes chords that are much deeper than exaggerated expressions (Munsch np). Robert Munsch started Love you Forever as a song: “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my baby you’ll

However, at the end of the story this stereotype is completely contrasted following the passing of the mother. When the boy, who is now a grown man and father, returns home to his newborn daughter it is he who displays a nurturing and affectionate relationship between a father and his daughter. This role reversal developed by Munsch effectively casts aside the stereotype that women are better suited to raise a child, and demonstrates that affection and the ability to nurture are not qualities that are able to be defined by a persons gender. Munsch instead shows how these qualities are learned by a person and are displayed as they mature with age. Munsch effectively represents this progression though maturity when showing, the love the boy has for his mother is not absent during his childhood, but simply something he does not display as well as he does when he becomes an adult.
Love You Forever is a wonderfully constructed story that can be enjoyed by adults and children of all ages. Although the comprehension of all the concepts within the story may not be extracted by the majority of the children, the tuneless song of “ I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be” is fun for young children to sing along to (Munsch, “The Books: Love You Forever”). Munsch uses Love You Forever to address some very basic yet very powerful concepts. Love You Forever shows the existence of unconditional love and how important of a
Love is a powerful emotion that every human being has experience at least once in their life. There are numerous connotations that refer to this emotion, but there is only one kind of love that can make a person change completely in unexpected ways. It is the kind of love that consumes the soul and everything within. Mixed with excitement, adventure, heartbreak, happiness and joy; it is a big ball of feelings, all concentrated in one simple, yet extremely complicated necessity to have, protect, please and give all of oneself to that one person. In certain occasions, love can grow very intense and, consequently,

Love You Forever by Robert Munsch started out as a song. Munsch made up the lyrics for his wife and two born dead babies. He initially had the lyrics stuck in his head but could not sing the words. Every time he tried Munsch would tear up reminding him of his children that did not live life fully. One day when he was telling a story at the University of Guelph, it occurred to Munsch that he might tell it as a form of story through the song (Robert Munsch). This is how Love You Forever came to be a book and made many people cry. The story is about a mother who truly loves her son with no exceptions. The young child grew older as time passed the stages of life, but the mother still loved him unconditionally. The cycle changes from the mother

She Loves Me Review By: Jacob Turner Preceding each and every performance associated with this theatre class, I have continually needed to keep an open mind about what we’re watching. Whether it is the plays in the performing arts center or productions shown in the classroom, I’ve never known where to set expectations for myself. Some of the productions I have viewed this semester have been wonderful to watch, while others unfortunately have only been slightly short of disappointing. From the opening scene of She Loves Me, based on the original play written by Miklos Laszlo, I had higher hopes than normal for the production. Musicals have consistently been the majority of exciting productions as they enhance my love for music, so when I was

Many studies have shown how Movies and Television shows are influencing the expectations of what teenagers think life will be like when they group up. The media gives a very descriptive interpretation of what they see as normal. Common topics that are influenced by the media is sex, violence, drinking, smoking, relationships, and body image. As the media presents the perfect relationships and the perfect life, teenagers start to think that they need to change themselves and the way they act because it is not like what they see on television. On average, a teenager watches four to five hours of television a day. This is not including what they see on a phone, laptop, or tablet. In the short story, “The Love of my Life” by T. Coraghessan Boyle, China and Jeremey, the young characters, are realizing that life isn’t exactly what they thought it would be.
Lieven Migerode and An Hooghe composed “‘I love you’. How to understand love in a couple therapy? Exploring love in context” to show there are different ways to look at the way one feels about love. Many individuals seem to justify that love defines the relationship and in turn the relationship defines love. Love too many is not just an emotion but an actual thought process. As one will explore and focus on the consideration of love and love’s influences, exploring love in the phrase of ‘I love you’ may lead a therapist to consider built-in contradictions. There are many different forms to take into consideration when dealing with love such as: attachment, reflection, and conflict.
Clementine von Radics writes of love, loss, and the uncertainties of the beauty of life with a stunning poetic voice and piercing bravura that speaks directly not only to the sensibility of her generation, but to anyone who has ever been young. One poem “A mouthful of forever’s”, that first burned up on Tumblr believe it or not. Have not only inspired wedding vows, paintings, but even songs among the community. This work truly speaks about the truth about love, and no I am not talking about the Pink album. The truth about love comes at 3am when you cannot sleep. And you look over to see them with a strange fascination with their lips and toes, the Morning breath, bedroom eyes on a smiling face, and even the sugar glaze. It’s the “I finally found them” feeling. Does true love exist? “I love you.” These three little words might possibly be the most powerful statement one can make to another person. In life, most yearn for the intimate affection that a certain someone can provide them. Women dream of their Prince Charming to come and sweep them off their feet, while men search for the love of their life that sets their heart on fire. But what happens when love is thrown around without a second thought? Has this four letter word become an overused cliché? Has love been replaced with lust? Is there such a thing as true love? This last question has been asked throughout history, while many have argued and debated over the final answer.
