Comparison of love

Some say, to love is to be willing to die. Others say, to love is to be willing to do whatever a loved one asks. Barbara Fredrickson says love is neither of these. In her book, Fredrickson attempts to redefine love through the biological microscope. The author compiles a variety of studies and research data to prove her claim that love is the product of neural coupling, oxytocin in the brain, and the work of the vagus nerve. Fredrickson presents a well-rounded claim, but there are some deficiencies

flowery love confessions and tormenting heartache. While most poets generally stick to that cliche topic of love and the traditional English or Petrarchan structures, sonnets are not defined by these archetypal features. Both Shakespeare’s “My mistress’ eyes are…” and Collins’s “Sonnet” satirically defy those typical sonnets. However both poems differ, as Shakespeare follows the standard English sonnet style and parodies the classic subject of love to show how ridiculous and idealistic love sonnets

1. Compare timeline on pgs.794-5 to timeline on pgs. 854-55; write a sentence or two to describe comparison. The first comparison that can be made is that in the second timeline the progress of human is seen with the development of new technologies while the first timeline centers human progress as the discoveries and individual gaining of knowledge as human progress. Another comparison that can be made is that in the first timeline the literature was more towards the purpose of spreading

artistic characteristics. Of such forms is Borns song, “Electric Love” and Jason Grant’s poem, “Love or is it Drugs”. These texts share a lot of common ground and of it; a common theme. This shared theme is that love has all the same effects on a person as drugs do. Although both texts compare love and drugs through simile and extended metaphor and use repetition, the song “Electric Love” is more artistic and intellectual than “Love or is it Drugs” due to the song’s use of symbolism and other figurative

reflect on love, time, beauty, and death. Throughout the sonnets, many different types of love can be deciphered. The Various ways to love can be seen in William Shakespeare’s poems, as proven by lust in “Sonnet 129,” the love of appearances in “Sonnet 130,” true love in “Sonnet 116,” and the elements of nature in contrast to love in “Sonnet 18,” proving that there can be many different aspects of love and how it is perceived. The first poem, “Sonnet 129,” shows how one way that love can be portrayed

also making a comparison which will be described later. The first use of figurative language in the song is, “Everything you touch surely dies”. Passenger uses a hyperbole in this lyric by making and exaggeration and not speaking of it in realistic terms. Everything anyone touches cannot and will not actually die, so the song writer uses their first figurative language. The second lyric I found that used figurative language was, “But dreams come slow and they go so fast” and “Cause love comes slow and

of literary devices such as synecdoche, comparisons, and imagery to strengthen the diction of his poem. “Mexicans Begin Jogging” describes an average day in the life of a Mexican-American man. When the border patrol arrives he is forced to run from the factory where he works, even though he is a legal occupant of America. As he describes, he “Ran past the amazed crowds that lined / The street and blurred like photographs, in rain” (13-14). This comparison is a metaphor that compares the sight of

Romeo And Juliet by William Shakespeare In Romeo and Juliet the beauty and ardour of young love is seen by Shakespeare as the irradiating glory of sunlight and starlight in a dark work. Discuss the techniques that Shakespeare would have used to capture this dominating image of light. In the time of Shakespeare, his plays would have been performed during the day, using natural light from the open centre of the theatre. Since there could be no dramatic lighting and

writes to make clear that love is the most excellent way, because it eternally endures. In extolling the superiority of love, Paul compares love with several coveted spiritual gifts, prophecy, words of knowledge, and tongues, and demonstrates that the gifts listed pale in comparison to love, because the gifts are incomplete and temporary, while love is both perfect and eternal. An outline of this passage of Scripture follows: I. In comparison to spiritual gifts, love is temporally superior because

Knock Knock, a game of Daniel Beaty’s past. Daniel Beaty’s game and how it leads to a little boy who awaited on his papa’s knock, but then eventually learns to knock for himself. This poem includes hyperbole, symbolism, and extended metaphor, are just three literary devices he included in this poem. Daniel uses hyperbole as one of his literary devices. He uses hyperbole in his poem, stanza #2 “Till we reach a place of high rusty gates”. Therefore, this means that as a little boy Daniel did not
