My Love Story

– The author tried to present two separate love stories of different generation, Ira and Ruth: Sophia and Luke. The story begins with Ira Levinson, a ninety-one years old person struggling for life, with the image of his dead wife Ruth in his mind, trying to survive from the deadly car accident.

Luke was indulged in deadly games to pay the debts of his father. This met changed their life and soon their life changed.

I rake my hands over the white sheets as I flatten out the wrinkles of my childhood bed. The faded red comforter is still placed neatly at the end of the bed and the numerous pillows continue to be clean and fluffed. As it stands in my memory, almost everything in this room is exactly the same as how I had left it. My dresser still stands in the corner and the knob my brother and his friends had taken a baseball bat to is still missing. Even now, my late night coffee stains cling to the white rug and The Story of Ferdinand rest on its designated area of my nightstand. The only things missing are her paintings. They had all been taken down and sold for any amount that could make off of them. Now bare walls glare back at me. Of course this decision was made while I was away at college. My Uncle, Samuel, had decided that Mom’s prized possessions were worth more in paper than on canvas.

Super Sad True Love Story, America, next to of course god america i, and I, Too, Sing America, are all story/poems that in some form or another address the theme of American exceptionalism and patriotism. In each of the titles, it is established that America is not as revered as it once was or possibly could be and that change needs to take place. Through dystopian tales, satirical speeches and exaggerated ideals the authors of these works of literature try to identify the issues faced in American society.

Even though this film was made in 1967, and I do not usually watch films older than I am I was amazed at how much I appreciated this film. This film had my attention from the earliest starting point to the end. This film would be one that I would watch more than once. Although many do not like the sound track in the film it one that I really do like. While watching the film I wanted to sing along with the music.

Every little girl fantasizes over her dream wedding day just like every little boy fantasizes over his professional sports career. Girls draw-up their perfect dress, their perfect man, their perfect venue, their perfect day; guys draw-up their ultimate team, their ultimate coach, their ultimate fans, their ultimate fame. And although every child fantasizes over the idea of an exemplary future, none could have dreamt of a love story so pure.

It's probably the one film in their oeuvre that can be described as an acquired taste, but those receptive to its unique rhythms will find plenty to savor.

Copper leaves and empty skeletal swings rustle against the blistering carbon machines smoking out particles of greying sonorous melodies, heavy with a layer of thick mournful soot and perspiration sweating out the saltiness of human fervour. Like a young, raw-like fever that stretched out, dissolved and collapsed its black plumage around iron playgrounds where children used to play in illusive and corrosive battlefields swirling in an antagonistic coal-lit fire crackling its scarlet canker smoldering like a cancer along the tremors of their innocent bone marrows; along the emerald green fields of their small capillaries. In an intricate design of love and war, that canker buds Like weeds in a mercury-infused soil Oozing out the yellowing

When the bell rings, the thought of Zayn kicking him to America is honestly the only thing keeping Louis from running out of the building.

Humor was always an interesting thing from his daughter. Very few expected the macabre from a young girl such as her, but he knew his little angel was a skewed mind and he accepted it with good grace. It was something he himself had, something that made him a little bit of an oddity amongst the people that knew him. That was what made him such a good Father perhaps, the fact that the social world seemed to be something that he would easily skip out on if it meant that he would not have to deal with the world of humanity. The utter annoying grouping of the species. It almost made him sneer sometimes as he looked at social media, Facebook postings, the utter insanity that the world had come to represent. Nevertheless it let him dedicate the proper time to a woman who deserved it. Not a wife, not a fiancée, and not a girlfriend.

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.

Not just a love story meant for children, the Pixar movie Wall-e it is a vision of the hard reality this world will face one day. A writer from the New York Times, A.O. Scott commented, “it is, undoubtedly, an earnest (though far from simplistic) ecological parable.” Showing that there is more than just the love story between Wall-e and Eva that should be focused on when watching the movie. Just as in life, there are far more important things that needed to be focused on throughout everyday life. In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, they define parable as, “a short story that teaches a moral or spiritual lesson”. The movie, Wall-e, portrays the consumer behavior and focuses on the attention of humans to not focus on the problems at hand and to turn away from what is actually going on. In the movie, the ecological parable is the story showing the link among the organisms and the environment. The Pixar movie Wall-e is deserving of the definition of an earnest ecological parable, through generational entitlement, consumerism, and lack of sustainability.

I grew up on a steady diet of Hallmark and fairy tales, and like most little girls I hung onto every last word. From the couple fighting, to them desperately confessing their love for one another, I just could not tear myself away. More times than not I would replay every moment of the story in my head, that is until a new love story caught my attention. We all know the storyline. The beautiful young lady meets a handsome stranger, and as much as they try to deny it, they have a special connection. As their relationship grows they suddenly can not stop themselves from confessing their feelings, until something tragic happens and they both ended up heartbroken. Most importantly, all of these events lead to their fairytale ending, where they live happily ever after. These stories are great, and watching them is a rite of passage for most young girls. However, these romances are not real, and love in this life will never look the way it does in movies. Naturally, as I grew older my love for these movies only grew, but I could see the effect they were having on me by the age of 10 when I had already decided that being a wife, and having a family was one of my biggest life priorities. Having a family is still so important to me, but that's not the problem.

“Th-thanks,” Lenora hesitated as she quickly tucked her blonde hair behind her ear, “sorry, but how did you know my name?”

People don’t realize the sad truth that I’ve been holding on for and secretly suffering with most of my life. People seem to see me as a girl that is naturally bubbly, happy, and outgoing. This was a way for me to hide my real emotions in the time when my depression and anxiety were major factors impacting my self-esteem, just a couple of years ago. So, yes, I admit it -- I was a victim of depression and anxiety. My anxiety has been occurring ever since I was a toddler. My usual anxious behavior would be when I would easily get nervous, wouldn’t talk that well in order to be understood, would go through emotional meltdowns at times, and so forth. My depression however, seem to connect a lot with my anxiety because of my meltdowns and it would easily bring my self-esteem down. One interesting fact about my depression is that it got extreme when I was in middle school. Many events in that time of my life made me feel absolutely worthless inside.
