    The movie, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days has always been one of my favorite romantic comedies. In the movie, it tells of the crazy relationship between Andie Anderson played by Kate Hudson and Benjamin Barry played by Matthew McConaughey. They have a very strange relationship to say the least. Andie is a writer of editorials for a women’s magazine, “Composure”. Her dream is to write what she thinks and believes instead of what her editor thinks and believes will get people to read. Andie comes to the rescue of one of her friends, Linda, who risks her job and worse, she felt much embarrassment after failing to think of material for the new issue because of a recent breakup. The split of Linda and her “boyfriend” becomes a big inspiration for Andie’s new article in which she will explore the ways in which women scare off their potential suitors. To do so, she decides she needs to find a man, and then she needs to start a relationship with him, and then finally do all those things that dig under his skin. Ultimately, losing him in 10 days.…

    The audience for this piece is mostly for the younger kids in the 1960's and in present day when it was published. Back in the 40's what happen with B and him was something that was unheard of. But in the 60's and to present day having sex with a women before marriage was not as big of a deal. Reading this piece and considering the title I would expect more about love and passion to have been in the story. Myrdal writes this piece in an informal manner without using any names and vage in details such as, I was in love she was attractive and smart. As a reader if he was so in love with her, why could he not give more detail about this women? He leaves out many details in that we don't know why he went to jail or if this meeting into B was planned or not. Most importantly he says "I could not find anything more convincing to say than that I seemed to love the girl I was married to." The way he says this so softly it almost comes across like he might not mean it, but than you think well maybe he does mean it because it stopped him from having sex with his first love. Also noted was his conscious it was never mentioned, you had no idea if he feels guilty or any…

    Jeremy is falling into a deep dark hole of despair. Everything that once seemed so important to Jeremy meant nothing from this point on. “Life in the dorms, roommates, bars, bullshit sessions, the smell of burning leaves and the way the light fell across the campus in great wide smoking brands just before dinner, the unofficial skateboard club, films, lectures, pep-rallies, football-none of it mattered.” (81) Jeremy tries to show how a college student is supposed to be “living the life” enjoying their school but now he has bigger responsibilities and has to give everything up. He will devote all of his time just to help China if he has to; that’s all he cared about was her and that baby. He starts showing how unhappy he is and the author makes a clear understanding of it. When the words, “I love you” are said between two people in a relationship it shows how much people could care about each other. “Do you love me? She whispered. There was along hesitation, a pause you could have poured all the affirmation of the world into. “Yes,” he said finally, his voice so soft and reluctant it was like the last gasp of a dying old man.” (82) If someone was truly in love with the other person they wouldn’t have hesitated, but Jeremy did. His feelings towards China are now changing since she has changed as a person. The person Jeremy fell in love with is no longer the same…

    I never actually attended UConn as a degree student. Although it is true that I enrolled late in the summer of 2009, it was only for the briefest amount of time. I enrolled late at UConn because unforeseen financial issues in my family made attending the other schools I was accepted into a terrible idea. However, quickly after enrolling I came to the realization that I had no concise plan of action towards a specific degree. I was enrolled in a mishmash of different classes that did not take me towards any direction. Therefore, I decided to drop the courses I was enrolled in, and instead work full time and save money to pay for college on my own. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, some kind of error must have occurred in this process. I thought…
