Analysis Of Greco The Lounge Bar
Greco the Lounge bar was abuzz that Saturday night, its starry aura spilling over its limestone walls, on to the outside, where Valets rushed around in a frenzy, opening doors, helping guests out, and parking their BMW’s, Audi’s, Mercs, Hummers etc. even as another Mercedes drove up to the entrance. Saanchi, Manav, Aditi, and Javed alighted from the car. Handing over the keys to the valet they made their way, past the wooden gate, and amidst, the ensuing hi's and hello's, entered the white, sea facing bungalow. Thereafter, the men drifted off to meet their business associates, leaving the girls to indulge in people watching. As they waited for their drinks, Aditi asked Saanchi, “What have you done to your hair? It looks great!”
“Just a few highlights! I needed color in my life!”

We can all go together then.”
"Okay! Uhh... Manav... you coming home for dinner tonight?"
"If you want me to..."
"Yes, I do. I'll cook.”
“See you then. Got to rush! Love you.”
Saanchi’s smile did not leave her face, all day as she flittered around the office. I am fortunate to have such a nice man in my life, she thought while driving back home. She’d planned an Italian meal for Manav and their romantic, candle-lit dinner that evening, soon transcended into a passionate night of love. And from that moment on, all their disagreements dissolved into nothingness.
The evening before the event, Saanchi left early from work to pay a much overdue visit to her favorite salon. She was determined to look her best and to make Manav proud of her. And when Friday arrived, she looked stunning.
Pal’s fashion show was a stupendous success. Saanchi especially loved the use of the earthy tones blending in beautifully with the myriad pastel shades and the fusion of ethnic Indian designs with Western contemporary styles. The show ended by 930 pm, following which, high on the applause and appreciation, Arjun Pal announced, "The after party is next door at Greco's. Let's rock the place,

    In his eyes, Bartels is up to his eyes in things he can’t seem to do right. When he tries to give his wife a break from the busy hustle and bustle of her every day by cooking for dinner, bathing the kids, or grocery shopping, it seems he never fails to disappoint. His wife comes home, questioning why he made rice instead of pasta with their meal, why the water from the childrens’ baths haven’t been drained, or why he bought that particular thing at the store. Her temper flares and they begin to…

    The composer's use of emotive language evokes a sense of nostalgia in responders; "My father's dream was to sit in the sun with the old men...lighting candles in a wind-swept church...sit in the sun of sepia photographs". Then, the truth is slowly revealed, often through the form of letter excerpts from her mother; "She didn't recognise her sisters...winded by the force of time. Finally, there is the final sharp contrasting image; "It was all McDonalds' and pigeon shit". This continues on throughout the text, each time emotions and nostalgia is induced by the composer and each time, it is shattered by the startling contrast of reality. Through this contrast, the composer is gradually finding her sense of identity, while her mother realises that her Italian identity has changed over time, finally coming to terms with it in the final letter excerpt; "All is lost here, the country has changed...young people no longer want to work and the doctors are fools". Although there is some exaggeration and humour, a feeling…

    The scene was one of cosy domesticity, a man and a woman sharing breakfast after a night out clubbing together. Married? Lovers? Boyfriend and girlfriend, or just a platonic relationship, it could have been any of the three, and the scene would have been mirrored in many homes across Rome. They were normal. Or at least, together, they contained a semblance of normality, which to Kyle, was almost as eerie a sensation as was the morning after his first murder to know that the woman across from him, the one who’d have reason to never trust another man, or allow one to touch her ever again, had entrusted him to hold her in his arms as she slept. And held no regrets for having done so, and not just that. She’d also revealed details to him of her life experiences that she doubted to spoken of with such earnestness and honesty to anyone before him, and he’d returned the favour without a second thought. With her eyes closed, and her soft breathing, and the faintest of snores, but no drooling, she’d appeared so serene and peaceful, and the Army veteran hoped that he’d been in same way responsible for the lack of nightmares.…

    The narrator’s inner monologue reveals his misery despite his attempts to brush over it with drugs, alcohol, and sex. “[A]ny beautiful girl, especially one with a full head of hair, would help you stave off this creeping sense of mortality” (McInerney137). The narrator is using superficial pleasure to fill a void, but he admits that his methods only achieve a temporary end. The unusual narrative style allows the reader to understand this secret realization before the narrator himself does and to anticipate his struggle as the evening progresses: “Go home. Cut your losses.…

    Tom wondered for what seemed to be the millionth time why Dectives were required to dress like wall-street bankers or stock analysts. At least that was the expectation in public, however the moment he had the office to himself, he unknotted his tie, slipped off the linen suit jacket, and undid the top button of his shirt, then sat back in his chair, raised his eyes to the ceiling, and tapped the tip of a ballpoint pen against his teeth. That was Tom's usual mode of concentration and contemplation, and so intent was the man's focus on the new case that all else slipped from his mind, even the recollection that he'd texted his wife. Therefore, the sudden familiar sound of her voice, accompanied by the enticing aroma of barbecue, startled him, and he immediately shot upright. The sight of Lila elicited a smile that only widened with the greeting and kiss. "Sorry baby."…

    I heard the murmur of their voices as I crossed the hall; the newly wedded couple had just sat down for dinner together, they had arrived only an hour ago. I entered the room to see Rebecca, her dark ash-brown hair, flowing like silk as it trailed down behind her dainty, gentle shoulders. I just couldn’t help to think, what kind of woman she was. I set down the plates, not speaking a word to either Sir or the new Madam; I was not in a position to talk to either of them, as that was not my responsibility. Madame, was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She seemed so comfortable being herself. She was so lovely, so accomplished, so amusing. This was my first meeting with her, and already I was in awe of her. She had the perfect breeding to be Sir’s wife, she was incredibly beautiful and as time went I on, I realised she had the brains and confidence to outwit anyone. She was entirely different to the second Mrs De Winter.…

    Our blind date was late for 45 minutes; I started to get angry and annoyed, so I said ‘’ I knew it; this is why I hate online dating. I am leaving this stupidity.” In the same instant, she walked in, and the time stopped. It was the girl of my dreams, with big hazel eyes piercing through my soul. With her glowing skin, modest elegance and discrete makeup, she had style and glamour of classic Hollywood beauty. Simple five word ‘’ Hi, my name is Johana” made me feel as I know her for decades. In contradiction, Sergio and her sister Andrea left us almost immediately, as they didn’t have any mutual connection. The hours slipped by like seconds; we kept talking about countless subjects, oblivious of our surroundings; it turned out that we are like long lost twins reunited again. As we liked the same book (“The Forth Agreement”), food, sports, and even held the identical views on morality and…

    From when the narrator is ten years old, we are shown glimpses of hope through his actions and personality. After being told by his panicked father that ‘the future is a hospital, packed with sick people, packed with hurt people’ the narrator simply wants to know how to ‘prepare’ for that. This naïve courage displayed by the innocent ten year old foreshadows the determination he will show as he grows older, whilst experiencing reoccurring trauma.

He is deeply in love with her, ‘It’s like wanting her to be here becomes so strong it almost makes me forget she’s not’ but finds it hard to put his feelings into action, anticipating the probable rejection from strong-willed and decisive Margo, ‘Silently, I ask her to marry me’.…

    Brush's portrayal of the relationship shared between the husband and wife in this story is one that deals with the superiority issue between a husband and wife. The wife plans “a little surprise” for her husband, he is “hotly embarrassed” by it and scolds her “under his breath- some punishing thing, quick and curt and unkind” after her surprise has lost the attention of others in the restaurant. The husband masks any kindness or gratitude he could have shown to his wife for taking him out to eat on his birthday and instead replaces that kindness and gratitude by indignation and hotness. Too practical for superficial romance, the husband can be seen as asserting his position as the head of the household through his obsession with his position in society. .…

    Much like Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, Florentino Ariza is in love with soap operas and romance novels, so much so all his letters to Daza when they are young read just like one. He is so involved with the idea of romance after Fermina’s rejection of him he makes a pass time writing love letters for other couples. Ariza is all youthful passion and intensity saying, “Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom. Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything, but the alpha and omega. An end in itself.” Needless to say, he’s all swoon and flowery words as he makes his way into the bed of over six hundred women in the course of his life while pretending to be faithful to only Fermina. None of the women know about the others and each is told that she is his first and only, perpetuating Ariza’s illusion of himself that he is a heart sick and loyal love puppy in need of nurturing.…

    The exact moment still flashes before me, the shock in Hero's sweet, innocent eyes as Claudio aggresively shoved her like she was dirt. Her heart sunk into the ground just as my selfishness got the better of me. I still reminisce the memories of the young lovers, the way they dreamed into each other's eyes with love and affection. Though I must submit to the consequences, my fear of the punishment is leisurely overtaking me...…

    Rufo was biting at the bit, as always, to be let outside to chase the squirrels and creatures still awoken from the night before. As I reached for the door handle, he lunged onto me and began licking my face intrusively. A little too much slobber for my liking, but hey, I couldn’t complain. At least someone still loved me. Laying on the floor, Rufo expressing his love and companionship, I began reminiscing on my ending marriage. How was this all happening? The love of my life, Hallina, was leaving me. She was the woman I knew I would spend the rest of my life with. The woman who would have my blue-eyed babies; the woman who would be there for me in every success, triumph, and every situation…she was truly leaving me. “How is this happening?” I inquired to Rufo. Rufo simply looked at me with a puzzled, crazed look.…
