<A Love for Life> ‘A Love for Life’ is a fiction that contains many feelings we can have in our typical daily life. Friendship, jealousy, maternal affection, specially, it mainly deals with love between adults. Fanella, main character of this story, is a woman who lives alone but wants to adopt a child. After taking several processes, she finally meets a girl named ‘Ellie’. Meanwhile, she falls in love with the teacher of school, ‘Rod’. Fanella keeps in touch with Rod, because of his publishing matter. At first, she tries to giving up loving him, because he is a married man. However, Leah, his wife, has love with a neighbor Mr. Simpson. As a result, Rod and Leah break up because of several problems between them. After that, Rod and Fanella confirm their love, and story comes to a happy ending. For me, ‘Fanella’, the main character of this story, looked like a woman who pursuits her own happiness. I really impressed by her that she longed to adopt a girl and nurture a child by herself. Moreover, she overcame every predicament that she faced, to raise her child Ellie. In this aspect, she looks like a rational person. She tried to achieve her old hope and endeavored to maintain it by logical ways. However, she is not just a rational person. She is emotional too. She could not conceal her love for Rod, even though he is a married man. She was honest with her emotion, and I think that her honesty could make love with Rod. As a result, through this story, I really realized that woman who is frank about what she desire can be successful in their

    After reading the two short stories, Love in L.A by Dagoberto Gilb and What We Talk about When We Talk about Love by Raymond Carver, I have realized that a common feeling like ‘love’ can be painted into so many different pictures. Each one of these short stories is written by two different authors and sees ‘love’ at different angles. The character Jake in Love in L.A. has this vision of love that is more of a mockery. Then, Terri’s ex-husband in What We talk about When We Talk about Love has so much passion, but the kind of passion that can be interoperated as obsession. The lies and misconceptions of ‘love’ that Jake and Terri’s ex-husband display reveal that ‘love’ does not exist in a world filled with nothing but cruelty and evil actions.…

    Dagoberto Gilb Love

    The most intriguing aspect of Dagoberto Gilb’s story Love in L.A. is how realistic it really is. Generally, love stories follow the traditional pattern of two strangers meeting, falling in love and living happily ever after. Love in L.A by no means follows this pattern. Many real life romantic relations do not follow this pattern either. Not following the pattern, however, does not disqualify Love in L.A. from being a love story. The essay is still very much a love story only with a twist.…

    Short Story Carmilla

    • 907 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Le Fanu’s story of Carmilla has been adapted as a web series, in which the setting is modern day society at a college campus. Laura remains the narrator of the thirty-six-episode season, where she records all events from her dorm room as part of her journalism class. The web series stays loyal to having Carmilla remain the female vampire in the story, while also implying other female romantic relationships. In the short story Le Fanu’s choice of a female vampire alters the way in which the audience reads the relationship between Carmilla and Laura, particularly because there is a romantic and sensual relationship that develops between these characters. The relationship between two women during Le Fanu’s time implies the confined gender roles that had been situated within his society, and the threat that female sexuality imposed. Whereas the adaptation normalizes the sexual and romantic relationship between women because modern society is more accepting of homosexuality. The theme of female desire in the short story emphasizes the fears of violating social norms of conformity as a woman, whereas the web series uses female desire to emphasize the power women have in modern society.…

    The power of love causes individuals to react in many different ways. In the Lais of Marie de France, each story of love produces a different outcome. For a story’s relationship, whether it involves lovers, siblings, or parents and children, there is one similarity hidden beneath the facades that make up each story; love.

    Literature offers a unique view into the human experience. Writers share their ideas about life through language, literary devices, and imagery. The human experience of love is one that every person can relate to. Three examples of literature that share this theme of love are: “A Rose for Emily”, “Love Song”, and “A Doll’s House”. Although some of the stories deal with family and parental love, this paper will focus on the aspect of romantic love. In the story “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner romantic love was between Emily and the doomed Homer Barron; the poem “Love Song” by Joseph Brodsky gives the declarations of a man in love; and finally in the drama “A Doll’s House” Nora is fighting for the romantic love of her husband Torvald Helmer. Love is a shared theme in these stories, and the literature portrays this human experience in ways that allow the reader to better understand the mystery of romantic love.…

    Love and Person

    • 950 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Love has a definition—a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person—but yet has so many different meanings. Thesauruscoping demonstrates the different meanings in which the word Love can deliver. The synonym of Love, Adoration, does not necessarily mean that these words have the same meaning. The definition of Adoration is the act of paying honor, as to a divine being or to worship. These words can be isolated from each other by meaning because they are two different descriptions. Love is an emotion and Adoration is a way of acting towards another. For example, there may be someone who loves to go to church every Sunday, being a part of their daily routine, but has adoration for God, meaning to worship and pay honor to what they believe in. The antonym for Love, however, does not have to be opposite but can have the same meaning as Love. An antonym for Love is Jealous meaning inclined to or troubled by suspicions or fears of rivalry, unfaithfulness, as in love or aims. These two words can have the same meaning, for example, a boy and a girl are head-over-heels in love with each other but the boy may have feelings for another person leaving the girl extremely jealous. This demonstrates that jealousy is expressed in love because the girl would not have been jealous unless she undoubtedly loved the boy. Thesauruscoping can show that a meaning of a word can be expressed in many different ways.…

    In The Horse Dealer’s Daughter, by D.H. Lawrence, romance plays a critical part in the development of the story. It is the result of an accidental rendezvous of the two main characters. It creates a sense of redeeming power – love. Love, in a way, can solve or complicate dilemmas. In this story, love is not as simple as boy meets girl; boy falls in love with girl; boy marries girl. The psychological operations of the characters defy the readers’ anticipation of how such a story would work. In fact, Lawrence works around the typical romance in order to show the conflicting affection between the supposed lovers.…

    One thing is clear in this essay, which is ‘’the creation of liking is a lie’’ it’s a world of lying, the modern generation are too busy creating a new side of themselves, for the reason that they fear the absence of acknowledgment from others. If the person lower his or her guard in the modern world, even a little, letting the real life knowledges come to the person, he or she might end up with a good result. Most of all it is about love, because love is not what we do or see through our smartphones or on the internet. One the internet everything is a frisk-free.

    Certainly the term 'family' has raised various debates in the modern society and as evident from the study of different cultures, there is now no clear taxonomy of a family unit. From a functionalists point of view, it is a unit of people bound together either biologically or by legal marriage. To support this theory, Murdock defines it as a group consisting of a sexually active heterosexual couple living with their biological or adopted children.(Haralambos M & Langley P).…
