Love Diane Ackerman Analysis

Love can mean many things to a person depending on their upbringing. Ones era, religion, gender, generation and so on can also play a big part on how a person looks at an intangible thing called love. But regardless of how you feel about that four letter word you can still agree that love an aspect of love is confusion because chaos is diverse, intangible, and vivid.
One reason why love is confusing is because it's such a diverse thing. Love doesn’t care whether your black or white, short or tall , or even boy or girl . Taken from "love's vocabulary" written by Diane Ackerman , it states in body four line 41 " We use the word love in such a sloppy way that it can mean almost nothing or absolutely everything." This would indicate that the
Derived from body one line one "Love is the great intangible. In our nightmares, we can create beasts out of pure emotion. Hate stalks the streets with dripping fangs, fear flies down narrow alleyways on leather wings, and jealousy spins sticky webs across the sky. In daydreams, we can maneuver with poise, foiling an opponent, scoring high on fields of glory while crowds cheer, cutting fast to the heart of an adventure. But what dream state is love?

Love is so vivid that you don’t need to speak english to understand it .
In conclusion love is confusing because it is diverse in its many ways , so diverse that that it can have a positive meaning behind it or a negative meaning behind it. Love's intangibleness makes it confusing because it is so hard to grasp that you cant even define it by one word. And last but not least love is so vivid that regardless of your upbringing, era, or gender you can speak the language of
