Love is a difficult word to explain, and everyone has their own opinions on what they think it truly means. Romance is a major topic in literature, movies, music, etc.… The world is continuously surrounded by the notion of finding companionship in a single person and staying with them “until death do us part.” In “Against Love” by Laura Kipnis, Kipnis states, “If you love me, you’ll do what I want or need, or demand--- and I’ll love you in return” (Kipnis 805). “Carnal Knowledge” is a prime example of how Kipnis’ claim on love fails. Where a human being can pour his heart out to another person, do all he could to please and satisfy them and receive not an ounce of devotion in return. While everyone is entitled to their own opinions,

When someone goes through a time of grief, it is only natural to find a way to deal with the hardships and until it eventually goes away, but people may come to realize that the loss can never be forgotten. This process of grieving and fighting through hard times to finally come to peace and accept reality is also reflected in literature such as “Hold Tight”. The short story ¨Hold Tight¨ by Amy Bloom shows that when people deal with grief, people may try to find ways to cope with the pain by letting out their anger on others or becoming self-destructive, even though it may not be possible to completely forget the woe.

In the case study, Crying and Marching, Zack Will is a fourth grader boy who seemed to cry for at least 30 minutes every day in different school settings (e.g. cafeteria, classroom, hallway, and music class). According to the information provided in this case, the school guidance counselor, Ms. Ellis, mentioned how Zack’s mother provided information about some difficulties that she was also having with him. Apparently, Jack’s father had moved out, and the mother’s new boyfriend moved in, causing some issues and misbehavior on Zach’s part (p. 56). The school principal, Mrs. Debaliviere, had decided to implement an intervention plan that had been proven to be effective with another student in the past.

Based on this, Principal Debaliviere had told all teachers to bring Zack to the office as soon as he exhibited the behavior, where he was going to be put in a time-out chair in a corner.

How should you escape a boiling humid desert with a man who will never let you go?

My cousin Katie also had a big impact on my faith throughout high school. She was like a mentor to me. I knew if I ever had a question, faith-related or not, I could go to her. Her relationship with her husband is so inspiring to me because they often pray together and attend Church together. God is truly at the center of their marriage. My freshman year of college, Katie found out that she was pregnant. Everyone was so excited for her, including myself. A few months later, Kate found out that her baby would be born with Trisomy 18. Most babies with this genetic disease do not make it to full term. On December 24th, 2013 Brantley was born. He was born a month early and immediately rushed to the NICU, where he would spend his whole life. Brantley was so perfect. Everyone would sit next to him and read to him. I remember this being the first time being angry at God. At first I didn’t understand why this perfect baby only got two days on this Earth when he deserved so much more. I prayed endlessly and found peace. I came to the realization that Brantley will never know suffering and that he can now spend his entire life with God. My cousin and her husband began a blog called Brantley Strong. My cousin included this quote which is the epitome of how my family and I have shaped our faith. "I believe that everything that happens in our lives, however awful, is an oppurtunity to bring Glory to Jesus. We all wished it would have been a different way. If we choose, we could hold it
