Chapter Eight: Forgetting About Hatred
Forgetting and Getting Over a Lost Love
For some women it's easy getting over a lost love. It's like they grieve their ex for a couple of days, and then they hit the dating scene like nothing ever happened. Their belief is that nothing can help you get over the last guy better than the next one. Most women however, can't seem to get over their lost love and are sort of unwilling or unable to move on. They live everyday thinking what if? They mentally go through their past relationship thinking what they could have done differently. They become obsessed and stuck in their past, endlessly replaying in their mind all the conversations. They believe that he's the one and they try to do everything they can to bump into him and convince him that he made a mistake.

Your best way out in this case is to immerse yourself into what triggers these memories, until you exorcise them and they no longer remind you of him. Meet friends and be sociable; don't lock yourself at home watching movies and eating comfort food. Instead take a yoga class, read a book and go for a jog in the park. If you make it a point to meet new people, you will also meet new men. When you do meet a guy that triggers your fantasy and has potential, make sure you give him a fair chance. Don't compare him to your ex; it's a mistake. You got over your ex so think ahead.

You can get over a lost love only if you want to. Nothing can force you and you have to consciously make this decision in your heart and mind. It might be a difficult job to do at first, but with time the pain will lessen and it gets easier. Once you rid your mind and heart of your past love, you can then move on to the love life you

    This excerpt from Thomas Doherty’s “Properly Direct Hatred” explains the urgent nature of America’s need for unity through the media during World War II, through particularly cinema. In this passage he explains that domestic issues of race, class, and ethnicity were eclipsed by the need to unify the heterogeneous population of the American ‘melting pot’ in order to fight in the war, not only militaristically and industrially, through the draft and increased production required by war, but also ideologically, because America’s power as a heterogeneous nation, directly countered Nazi ideologies of the Master Race eugenics. In his essay as a whole, Doherty outlines the way in which Hollywood collaborated with the Office of War Information to direct…

    Throughout Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, there are some chapters that readers may feel lack information or any plot movement that pertains to the book in a direct way and would like to just pass through those chapters as quickly as possible because those particular chapters are thought of as filler chapters. If there is one thing a reader should take away from studying any Jane Austen piece is that she has a talent to formulate and place events in an appropriate order so that everything that happens throughout the novel fits perfectly together like a puzzle and that she has a rhyme and reason for the information she expresses throughout the book. A particular chapter that should be focused on is Chapter 10 in Volume One. On the first read-through, this chapter seems unimportant based on how it is primarily about writing letters and killing time until Jane Bennet has recovered from the…
