Love is one of the most overused words in society. It has become so warped from its original meaning that it is used to describe how one feels towards a person and how much he loves his favorite movie. The two extremes often leave one wondering what love really is. By observing examples in Jane Eyre of what love is not, what love is, and how Jane’s view of love changes all throughout the novel , one can see how beautiful the bond of love truly is. First, since the word love is…
butterflies, the strong beats of a drum and the river of thoughts that travel across the mind, it’s flirtatious, lust or love at first sight. The gentle touch on the shoulder, warm embraces feel the heart, the gentle and warm breath that lands so softly on the cheek from the face to face eye gazing, these are the beginnings of erotic moments that can lead to a lifetime of love. In the epic of “Gilgamesh” translated by Foster and the biblical story of David and Jonathan in “The Men of Color…
Years of countless fights, pent up aggression, sleepless nights, tears shed, heartache, and smiles camouflaging pain have brought me to unfeigned enlightenment. ‘Family is everything. True love is undying. Forgiveness is freeing. Living, breathing, seeing is believing.’ These life lessons did not come without the scars to prove that I have braved the endless, boundless, unconstrained abyss that is existence. Reaching this comfortable, unworried…
poem explores on the theme of love, religion nature; love being the central aspect, but the poet does not address the poem to any speaker, rather it explores on the reasoning of love as a concept.

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Equality Towards the end of the most recent summer I made the realization that my religious beliefs did not match up with that of my parents. It took me weeks to build up the courage to tell my parents that I did not believe in their religion, it felt how I’d assume it feels to come out of the closet, fear that your parents will think differently about you, fear that they will disown you or even just pretend the incident never happened, after it occurred I…

Nothing Ever Really Ends is a short film directed by Jakob Rorvik that focuses on a series of intimate moments between a young couple. It's not the type of romance that paints a clear, distinct image of love as everlasting and absolute. In fact, what makes the film so enticing is that it's a love story about finding the courage to break up. It follows the couple throughout three New Year's Eves and shows that resolutions can be bittersweet. Even when something ends, it's never really over…
the youth from ‘he’ to ‘she’. This collection of sonnets stays to be of the most remarkable poems written in the English language. Nearly all Shakespeare’s sonnets examine the fateful decreasing time and the immortalization of both love and beauty in poetry; it is a love story where he expresses his admiration upon a young man and a dark lady. Unlike his plays that were written and expressed to the public, the sonnet meant to him a more private expression. Only one sonnet of all the 154 is…
