Gone 'And User Friendly'

Love can be defined as something everyone feels or felt at least once, it can be hidden or shown, and it’s powerful and positive. The short story “User Friendly’ features a boy named Kevin who’s computer falls in love with him. In the song “Gone Gone Gone” by Phillip Phillips sings about how he will not move on to anyone but the person he’s singing about. The theme of user friendly and” Gone Gone Gone” is that love hurts.This essay will illustrate how the theme of love was created in these two different works.
In the short story “User Friendly”, One of the themes is Love hurts. It is about a painful experience of a loner type kid named Kevin. Kevin doesn’t have any friend and is empty. His dad builds him a personal tutor but really it’s a friend for him. He gets attached to the computer, and asked it if he is a nerd. The computer’s response was “Never! I think you’re wonderful. Who said you were a nerd?” …show more content…
The artist shows this different times throughout the song. One quote that proves love hurts is when he says “Baby I'm not moving on, I love you long after you're gone”. He explains that he will never move on to anyone else but this person even after their long gone which in this song is referred to dead. This also shows how attached the song artist was with the person he’s singing about. He probably has a lot of experience with him/her. This is one way how the song explains that love hurts.
Through the feelings of kevin, the author of “User Friendly” proves that love can be painful sometimes. Through reputation and word choice in his song, Phillip Phillips chose the words gone as the word to repeat and used this word because it is very deep and hurtful. In my opinion “User friendly” did a better job to prove that love hurts because at the end you can see Kevin crying and this shows the effectuation of love. Love can be very confusing and hard to understand to some
