This particular story by Cofer exemplifies the universal thoughts of most of the teens growing up.

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.

It was really interesting that the author could pinpoint out these little feelings and describe what exactly happens in our body when we fall in love. Her reasoning she exhibited at certain places did that I was speechless and in other places it made me pensive and a bit skeptical of her reasoning. For many people who are not familiar with the scientific description of love is love a simple strong sensation when you meet the right person. Looking at it with a more scientific eye as Anastasia Toufexis does in The Right Chemistry, will tell you that love is a rather complex biological/chemical phenomenon something evolution has given us. Michael Millis gives the following explanation ''What seems on the surface to be irrational, intoxicated behavior is in fact part of natures's master strategy''1, which began in the African plains 4 years ago. This was according to me the key to human survival and it was here the romantic love started to blossom.Thanks to the fact that humans began walking on two legs and mad the entire body visible to one another developed this unique attraction forces, who developed the love into more than just a single reproductive act. Although assembly mates from behind was, and still is, the method favored by most animals, people began to enjoy face-to-face connections. Both appearance and personal attraction became a much bigger part of the equation.

In the beginning, Santiago mentions he has a crush on a merchant’s daughter. Later on when he meets Fatima, the narrator says, “…What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only woman in his life…” This shows that he believes that there will be no other woman in the world to replace her and he is in love.

If he abandons that pursuit, it's because it wasn't true love... the love that speaks the Language of the World." (67) This pushes him to continue the adventure because he wants to see how true the love is, even though he feels he already knows.Santiago at the time was debating between leaving Fatima and possibly returning later, or staying to start a family and keep together. “…And, in that mood, he was grateful to be in love. When you are in love, things make even more sense, he thought.” (55) This shows how helpful being in love is to his journey by making it easier to understand certain things and how at rest and good with his heart it is making him feel. It also gives him a greater desire to succeed and return to his

The ending of the play made me upset for Ana, but then I was also angry at Ana for leaving her son all the time. I couldn’t believe that he just died from an asthma attack. My heart also broke even more because I knew she didn’t spend much time with him. I was angry at Ana because she kept putting her work before her son and then lying about her son so she could keep working. I know that Ana needed at job and all the nannies were stereotypical, but I wish she would have told Nancy about her son. I feel like Nancy would have understood and feel ok about Ana bringing her son to work sometimes.

He met a girl who was weird just like him. They began to do things together and that’s when Oscar was starting to have feelings the girl named Ana.

'Sex Without Love,' by Sharon Olds passionately described the author's disgust for casual sex in which she vividly animates the immorality of lustful sex through the variety of her language. The sarcasm used in this selection can easily be misunderstood and quite confusing if the words and lines are not analyzed with specific construction. Olds' clever use of imagery and frequent uses of similes, to make the reader imagine actual events, makes this poem come to life. For example, Olds describes making love as 'Beautiful as dancers.' (Line #2) in this line, she questions how one can do such a beautiful act with a person whom one is not in love with. Olds also describes sex as 'gliding over each other

Sharon Olds’ poem “Sex Without Love” wonders at the ability for two people to have sex and not involve emotions or pretenses of love. The poem argues that it is better to have sex without love under the premise that love is a false savior for people, and everyone is all alone anyhow. In other words, the claim is that personal interactions do not serve a purpose other than being a distraction, and they will inevitably end. However, the notion that attachment and love are false hopes for people and each person is all alone does not account for the inevitability of human interactions and the underlying importance of relationships. While the poem does not give its definition of being alone, complete isolation is virtually impossible and leads
