A Tale Of Two Love Stories

Decent Essays
Two authors. Obsessed with the idea of love. . .what could possibly go wrong?

Marisa

This should be a love story. Everything's in place for it to be. The perfect lines, the perfect souls, but you see, Justin thinks it's a game. He thinks I'm his pawn, but he couldn't be more wrong. Every move he makes, I'll block him. Every time he thinks he's about to seize me, I'll run. Some men underestimate the power of the queen because they're too busy playing king. They forget she's the most powerful piece on the board. And love is not a game I'm apt at losing.

What will it take for him to realize I'll never be his pawn, but I'll happily play his queen.

Justin

She wants a love story. And while I've set it up just like I do my stories, it's not

    Thus, due to its length, Love Story is unable to compel the reader to truly ponder the deeper meanings of the book because the story is over so quickly. Although Segal's profound insights are woven into Love Story and the tale has meaningful messages, I find it rather contrived. Love Story simply feels too polished, as if the characters have little control over their lives but are instead following a predetermined route to their eventual destinies. This will certify that the above work is completely…

    Literary Analysis In a romantics society, we are immersed in many forms of poetry and dramatics that truly depict a scene of non-rewarded love. In Shakespeare's Taming of The Shrew, Petruchio and Katherine are at a stand off for love that could not be returned. As well as, Les Miserables, Eponine is madly in love with Marius but this could not be returned due to his undying affection for Cosette. In dramatic works, love and sex often carry little ties to one another creating an overtone of never rewarded infatuation.…

    “Where there is love there is life” stated Mahatma Gandhi which means without love people will be miserable and life would be miserable without love. In English class we read a chapter from The Road Less Traveled titled “The Myth of Romantic Love” by Dr. Scott Peck. The author stated some very appealing topics about the unrealistic ideas of real love. I believe that love can last a long time, but you need both spouses to function. We all love the stories of the prince and the princess getting married and having a family and living happily ever after.…

    Love, according to Webster, is “a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties.”. For some, this definition of love expresses the way people develop a mutual understanding of one another to attain a level many are unable to reach. Others may believe love can happen by the chance of a glimpse and bind them together by that unknown force without any preceding knowledge of the person. In The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer, the “Knight's Tale” shows that love is greater than any other power. Chaucer composed the tale to convey the idea that love brings about unforeseen outcomes.…

    At the beginning the semester, we are all required to read a novel named “Change: A Love story” which was written by Ama Ata Aidoo. In general, this book talks about the concepts of love, marriage, and family in Sub-Saharan Africa.
