Improved Essays
"I'm not sure about this," I said, sitting up on the bed, looking over at Trent, who was half asleep. "I think.." I paused. "I think that it's still way too soon for this." I threw my legs over the edge of the bed, stood up, and walked out of the room, with my head in my hands, trying to recollect my thoughts. Reluctantly, I hang my head and sigh. A warm tear falls from my left eye as I slunk down on the floor outside his bedroom door. I have no idea why this is so hard for me to accept. I don't regret anything; I mean for Pete's sake I love the boy! It just didn't feel right. It's only been about two months since we started dating, and I couldn't help but feel so overwhelmed with guilt. What happened tonight goes against everything I believe in, and there's nothing I can do to change it, but I know I'll be okay. …show more content…
I was so embarrassed, and he was the only one who offered to help me. The memory of it is still tattooed onto my brain. I remember his gentle smile, the twinkle in his eyes when he reached down to help me up, the softness of how he spoke. I had never met a person more warm, kind, and altruistic than him. I swear it was that moment 3 years ago that I first fell for him. I hadn't forgotten about him for all that

    I don’t remember the rest but even though the women was a stranger to him he took care of her as if she was but a mere family friend.

He answers immediately if he isn’t too busy and tells us what the matter is. If it is bad or if it is a minor symptom of some medicine. It is truly wonderful to see someone I have known for a long time to show such selflessness in todays society.…

    Simone de Beauvoir’s “Monologue” is the verbal outcry of a lonely and bitter woman who is alone one New Year's Eve, caught between the disdain for the partygoers whose voices seep through her walls, and the despair of the silence which would engulf her when they stop. Her lifetime of frustration, which has been kept locked away, has finally broken free in a upsetting manner. Murielle is a self-described victimized late forties woman, divorced mother who has a prominent obsessive compulsive need for cleanliness, both physically and mentally; and she is consumed by her delusions and jealousy for the love and sexual desire of another. She is spiteful towards those, who in her opinion, have betrayed her and is continuously tortured by what…
