Whether it began with God’s initial thought of every individual, or the very first time a mother was able to cradle her creation, love has, and will always be a driving force of the human psyche.

The Misconceived Relationship In the text “Space, Whether, and Why,” Ted McLoof 's describes his turbulent relationship with a woman who initially impresses him with her apparent West Coast sophistication. Throughout the text, the narrator uses the distinction between his own East Coast background and the woman's West Coast background to describe the many differences between them.

The woman, in contrast, speaks in a respective tone while the narrator wants to address his audience indirectly. When the narrator uses the word 'space,' he is…

From the depressive, drunken stupor love to the puppy-dog-eyed, lovey-dovey love.…

His aesthetics are quite similar with Jean-Luc Godard and the French Wave, in general, particularly because he also took apart the traditional conventions of filmmaking, that include linear narrative, smooth camera movement and concept of the protagonist-hero.…
