If a bridle were to be broken off while in use, the horse rider will lose control and the horse will go on his own way. This piece of text symbolizes an individual whose bridle has been teared apart and lost control of his emotions and life. A great example of this would be my female cousin whose heart was broken at a very young age. Her bridle broke once her relationship ended. Her life went off track and she lost herself on some other path. Whenever I would see her at family gatherings, she was always depressed. She was lost in her mind, and emotional about everything.

    “Joyas Voladoras” by Brian Doyle and “Liking is for Cowards. Go for What Hurts” by Jonathan Franzen both describe how people love. Both Franzen and Doyle explore the topic of love by relating to nature. In “Joyas Voladoras”, Brian Doyle talks about how even though we try so hard to build up walls around our hearts, but “down it comes in an instant, felled by a woman’s second glance, a child’s apple breath, the shatter of glass in the road, the words ‘I have something to tell you’, a cat with a broken spine dragging itself into the forest to die, the brush of your mother’s papery ancient hand in a thicket of your hair, the memory of your father’s voice early in the morning echoing from the kitchen where he is making pancakes for his children” (Doyle 143). In Franzen’s essay, he writes that pain “hurts but it doesn’t kill” (Franzen 146).…

    Cormier, the author of the short story “Another of Mike’s Girls”, believed that love had a strong influence over the lives of those who are impacted by it. Not all love is romantic, and, often times, love is felt by a parent to their child. That kind of love, as mature as it may be, makes people as intransigent as the typical teen romance. Affection causes people to be irrational in their thinking, but it also can consume people. It can bring people up to the point”…of triumph and pride,” but it can also damage spirits and ”…lack motivation.”…

In the book, ‘A Good Man Is Hard To Find’ written by Flannery O’Connor we face with multiple characters who experience love on different levels.…

Siken uses strong imagery and diction to discuss the themes of abuse, love, and violence throughout the collection. For this essay I chose to analyze two of Siken’s poems “ A Primer for the Small Weird Loves” and “The torn-up road” . In both poems Siken is able to convey very powerful messages, and he uses his poetic ability to transform so much violence and abuse into beautiful art in the form of poetry. “ A Primer for the Small Weird Loves” epitomizes the struggle of a coming of age gay man/boy.…
