Love You Forever By Robert Munsch

"it's all you need, and live will hold us together" is sung by Matt Maher in his song titled "Love will Hold us together" I have heard the song exactly four times. My initial reaction to song was a snide remark about the how cliche and unrealistic its message was. In my life up to that point, I had not experienced an overwhelming sense of love or happiness. I was happily perched on a throne of cynicism with no desire to change. That was until I heard the song for a third time during my sophomore year of high school.

Not only are they loving, but they are also very impactful in a sense they shape us to be better humans. They show us to forgive easily. You accidentally step on a dog's tail but as you soon as you pet them with compassion, all is forgiven. A lot of dog owners are able to relate and think, “if my own dog can forgive easily, then I should too!” On the other hand, books are not living creatures who we can cuddle with. Instead, they are knowledgeable sources that teach us life lessons maybe our peers can’t touch on. A lesson I found in the article, “you stick with what brung you.” This quote is clearly telling us that we should pay fealty to those who have gone out of their way to look after us. As we can see, I've interpreted a quote best for my learning and understanding. Speaking of understanding, not many people comprehend how we think and function. That is why books come in all styles, genres and messages. So that we choose a book that best reflects the type of people we are. For example, you may love books about romance because you are the romantic type. In conclusion, life is a road that can sometimes lead to a dead

Books are bought every single day. According to HuffPost nearly 3 million books were bought in 2010. Imagine the numbers now, where as the average book sales around 3000 copies. Books can mean a lot to people these days. A huge book that took people by the band was Thirteen Reasons Why. Thirteen Reasons Why was about a teenage girl who made tapes about why she killed herself. This type of genre can take an effect on somebody’s life, especially if they can highly relate to the book themself. Another huge book would be The Hunger Games series. The main character, Katniss, a brave and ferocious girl. She could be retained to a

The short story “The Love Of My Life” by T.C. Boyle's examines two couples who are imagined to be inseparable and how no love comes closer to theirs. The story follows young high school couples who are in the merge of a bright future. They are always together “wearing each other like a pair socks”. They idolized the love they share is something far from real and it is true love. While Jeremy is set to attend Brown and on the other hand China were in Binghamton things took wrong turn. Over the summer before their going to college they mistakenly conceived a baby while they are at a camping trip. The story was pleasant and everything was green and China and Jeremy went to a trip together and had sex. The couples were so keen to avoid this from

“Love on the B-Line” by Adam Kraar gives us an understanding of how to write a play. He gives us great examples of structure, character development, and dialogue that can help young or novice writers understand the basics of making a play.

A novel by the name of Love, Aubrey written by the author Suzanne La Fleur has written a moving text about grief and belonging. This text contains three major characters, going by the names of Aubrey, Gram and Lissie (Aubrey’s mum and grandma). These individuals experience dejection and trauma due to the deaths of Savannah and Gordon Priestly in a car related tragedy (Aubrey’s younger sister and father). Although, numerous assorted characters also deal with anguish but spread empathy through one another as they have all encountered different circumstances. Aubrey, the main character in the text, manages her grief using a variety of different techniques. These include showing denial, shutting out her difficulties and finding motivation to move

I wanted to write a poem with an extreme shift in tone and mood that would possibly result in the enhancing of the deeper parts of the poem. To test this I took the same topic/theme of two of the poems from this set and attempted to portray it in a different light. This theme/topic being exploring the feelings and emotions tied to unrequited love.

Another person that asked me what my book was about was my Nana. She was wondering what happened so far in my book. I read the last page to her while we were driving to Dick’s Sporting Goods. Once I finished the page she asked me to keep reading. Once we got to Dick’s all we talked about was the book, and the soccer shorts I had to get. I feel like my grandmother really enjoyed reading with me’ and maybe I’ll let her have this book to read once I’m done with it.

The song “First Love” by Lost Kings, featuring Sabrina Carpenter, represents Janie saying that Tea Cake sacrificed too much for her. The song’s lyrics, “ You give everything / And you give too much” represent how Tea Cake gave everything to Janie and that was too much. The novel manifests this when he risked his life to save Janie from the aggressive dog that was standing on the cow Janie held on to. The dog was growling and attempting to attack Janie. Tea Cake gave too much in order to save her, he fought the dog, got bite on the cheeks, caught rabies, and that ultimately lead to his death. Tea Cake basically sacrificed his own life to save Janie’s, which made Janie very upset. To quote the song lyrics of “First Love” , this is “just like first love” because Tea Cake gave it his all and

This year in my English class three books I read were the best books I have ever read. I could connect to these books well and they taught me valuable lessons. The three books that stood out to me were If I Stay, It’s Kind of a Funny Story and They Both Die at the End. These books had a theme that connected all of them. The theme that spreads across these books are life does not last forever, hold it close, we must work through it and live it to the fullest.

When I was young, my mom and/or dad would tuck me in bed, and they would read me a story, out of my gigantic dark blue Disney fairy tale book. Then I did not think I would ever go a night without being tucked in, but now my parents and I just say “Goodnight” then head off to hit the hay so to speak. And before my mom would leave the room for me to get some sleep after she would read a story, I would say “Wait mom! Where are my Butterfly kisses?!” She would say “Oh, okay sweetie.” And sometimes I would just be silly and keep my mom in the room just because

Flowers” by Alice Walker is a story that takes place around the 1800’s and it is about a Myop, who is a ten year old girl that lives in the country. She seems to be a very curious and observant as it describes her journey from her family’s Sharecropper cabin to the woods behind her house. Myop roams around the woods with not a care in the world and admires the beauty of her surroundings such as the blue flowers she discovers. However as she is exploring the land she stumbles across the remains of a black man who was lynched.

Born on January 26, 1958, in Toledo, Ohio, Anita Baker made her album debut in 1983 with The Songstress before releasing several years later her megahit Rapture, featuring the single "Sweet Love." With a lush, soaring voice, Baker has remained a revered force in contemporary soul music for decades with tunes like "Just Because," "Talk to Me" and "Body and Soul," picking up multiple Grammy Awards along the

For this listening journal I chose to write on the song Forever Don’t Last by Jazmine Sullivan. This song would be classified in the genera of R&B. R&B music is a music genre that combines elements of rhythm and blues, soul, funk, pop, and hip hop. The tempo of the song is slow and steady tempo. The beat was very clear to hear, it has a steady snap for the beat. The accents were on the beat. The song has different pitches throughout the song. She begins in a low range then changes to a high range, and it kind of alternates throughout the rest of the song. This song is in a minor key because the singer is talking about hear break and losing her lover, so it has a sad feeling to it. The instrument that I could identify in this song is the

What would you imagine when hearing the words true love, many may think of the joy and happiness of two humans falling for each other in ways only they would know. An exiguous amount of people want what they see in other couples, a connection, a true love. However, with the poem “True Love” by Wislawa Szymborska, the speaker despises what she witnesses when surrounded by couples. The speaker conveys that she is having a mental argument whether or not true love is possible or even if she can obtain true love. Readers of the poem might wonder why the speaker has strong feelings with the thought of love; however, with further analysis of the diction, tone and word choice we can see her aspiration and fight for true love.
