Come Fly With Me Narrative Essay

The journey that Richard and Mildred Loving took is important for history and for the future of civil rights in the United States. I recently watched the documentary The Loving Story and enjoyed the footage, pictures, and interviews of everyone involved in the Loving v. Virginia case. The documentary addressed the issue of interracial marriage in Virginia in 1967.

Facing death at any age is difficult, but for Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and John Sullivan, it came early, resulting in two essays retelling their experience.  In their accounts of these situations, the author can see they both want to emphasise that death can come in very unexpected situations.  To My One Love, by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, begins on page 17 of 50 Essays by Samuel Cohen.  In her essay, set in present day, she has flashbacks to her relationship with a boy “from the wrong side of town” named Nnamdi.  They were in a loving relationship against their peers’ wishes.  When it came time for them to separate due to education in separate locations, they had ended the relationship, but not before Nnamdi had promised that them

“For there was never a story more of woe/ Than this of Juliet and her Romeo” (Shakespeare V, III, 309-310). These words spoken by the Prince of Verona prove in itself that there isn’t a love story anything like Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is by far the best love story because of all the different types of love that are present. There are many different forms of love in the play but, the ones that show the most are unrequited love, friendship and romantic love.

Imagine: What if your reason, your motivation for everything in your life was taken from you. Could you replace it with something stronger, or would you slowly fall apart from reality? Everyone has or will have one person who impacts their lives immensely without their knowledge, until they are taken from you. Gage Andrew Leishing: this name may have absolutely no meaning to you, but to me it has the most significant meaning. I understand you’re probably asking, ‘How is this Gage guy important to me.” Can you go back in time maybe it wasn’t even that long ago, when you met your first true love? What was it your best friend? Gage was my first true love and my best friend since I was a young child. I understand most of you don’t believe that I could understand love at such a young age. When it isn’t something you see in everyday life, you remember the most important parts and learn from them. When people pass away most people can’t say they have learned something good from it. Gage has influenced my life in many ways: taught me how to care about myself, taught the meaning of friendship by listening to me, showed me courage to stand up for myself, and changed my future by his life choices.

In our lifetime, one is likely to ride a roller coaster at least once. We also may experience the feeling of love with someone we consider special. Both, being in love and riding a roller coaster, will cause a person to feel different emotions, some sad and some joyful. Just like a roller coaster has to remain on its tracks in order to function properly, a relationship has to have boundaries in order to flourish. We look forward to the roller coaster ride and the possibility of love with much excitement, but in the end we have to decide if the ride was worth it.

The only true love story which William Shakespeare wrote was the epic and tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet and according to history was his first play and deserves to be acclaimed as magnificent. Within the lines of Romeo and Juliet, there is an innocent and youthful spirit coupled with hope, despair, loyalty, virtuousness and the misguided thoughts of perfection and the end resulted in death, with no true meaning due to the misguided and misdirected affections of two young lovers who ultimately were the pawns of a family feud. Whenever a tragedy occurs, it is human nature for people to know what went wrong, where lies the problem and looks to the main characters trying to find fault in why it went awry. Shakespeare is not that simple and leaves one to wonder.

How much power does love have over a person? In A Tale of Two Cities, love has a strong hold on many of the characters including: Mr. Carton, Dr. Manette, and Mrs. Defarge. All of these people deal with their strong love for others in different ways. Carton sacrifices himself, Manette helps his daughter out, and Mrs. Defarge wants revenge on many people. The power of love can redeem oneself or redeem others which is shown by how characters in A Tale of Two Cities interact with one another.

Somehow adulthood turned out to be harder than Doug anticipated, a lot harder, as his fears of possibly not reaching his goals within a year's timeframe could ruin his life forever. Furthermore, the thing most that ruined him, was society in general. Surely, at times, Doug didn't like the way society worked in his favor. Therefore, he would carry himself as unique as can be, with how he dressed, spoke, and viewed life.

Well a few years after leaving the O’Jays my new group Dunn & Bruce Street has a new record released. Suddenly, I am receiving multiple calls from Maxine to please come to Philly. I finally go and upon arrival at her house, she greets me with a different atmosphere. Her apartment is candlelit and smells of good food on the stove saturated the room; never had it like this before. Maxine has run a bath for me and invites me to just lie in bed for serving. She has the radio on and to my delight, our song plays 3 times in an hour representing high rotation.

Despite the tough times, we walk together, Hand in hand like two birds of a feather. When I'm with thou, my love is so strong, Nothing thou could doth would ever seem wrong. I live to see yond sweet sublime smile,

The phone line was ringing in slow motion. I heard a calm voice come across the other line saying, “9-1-1, what’s your emergency?” My heart was racing; I never thought I would have to answer this question. This was my first Speech and Debate travel tournament and I was excited to see what the outcome would be. On the flight to Las Vegas I had prepared myself for what seemed like everything; that is, everything related to the topic we would be debating. When I woke up on the morning of the first day of the tournament I was a bundle of nerves. I could not stop talking, I could not stop pacing, I could not stop my voice from quivering, I could not stop the frantic thoughts, and I could not stop thinking I would be a disappointment.

They say it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. Those words are not comforting to me. But, I love you Deborah, he says as we sit on the couch in my basement, his voice shaky, and uncertain. He looks into my eyes as if pleading, no, begging for forgiveness. I don't recognize these eyes that once provided me with happiness, security, and comfort. These eyes used to reassure me that indeed he did --used to love me. It hurts to look into them; I turn away.

Love is difficult to define, difficult to measure, and difficult to understand. Love is what great writers write about, great singers sing about, and great philosophers ponder. Love is a powerful emotion, for which there is no wrong definition, for it suits each and every person differently. Whether love is between family, friends, or lovers, it is an overwhelming emotion that can be experienced in many different ways.

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
