Love Conquers All

5:46-47 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If someone were to be very kind to you, give you lots of wonderful presents, give you bags of your favorite candy, take care of you when you were sick, make you laugh when you feel sad, think you are the best person in the world, and love you with all their heart. Do you think you would love them back? Yes - you probably would. But there is no great reward in that kind of love.…

quite comical and seemingly too quirky, the story incases a message grasping the theme of undying love.

His passion for music and his alternative rock band then leads him to the other protagonist, Ramona, the heartthrob. From the moment he notices her, he believes with all his heart that she is his soulmate. However, to be with the character Ramona, one has to…

and that Raoul saw her and remembered her. In the book the Viscount was already in love with her but she seemed distant which made him sad and jealous; to his brother’s dismay (in the movie, Raoul didn’t have a brother or was not emphasized). It may look like an old school love triangle between Raoul, Christine and Erik but there’s more to the story other than its romantic side. It’s a mixture of drama, darkness, love and a little action. Things that moviegoers and romantics like maybe that’s…

William Shakespeare had a way with words, unlike any other person that stepped foot on this earth. He is known for creating a lot of the words that we still use today. This helped Shakespeare when expressing his love since he would often express his love through his writings. One can see examples of this in “Sonnet 18: Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day” and “Sonnet 130: My Mistress’ Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun.” As one can tell from the titles, these are drastically different poems. Just…

“Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes” is a powerful statement made by author Ella Wheeler Wilcox in a time of despair in America. This ideal of love overpowering hate is also evident in many pieces of famous literature such as Romeo and Juliet. The famous play is arguably the greatest love story of all time, but becomes a tragedy as the play ends with the two teenagers committing suicide. Another example of this ideal is in All the Light We Cannot See, a story about Marie-Laure, a…

According to William Shakespeare, “The course of true love never did run smoothly.” This is true in the real world because there are many hardships and obstacles that a couple goes through. However, love makes them stronger and allows them to endure and surpass all of the negativity and issues. While it may prove to be difficult, the passion of love brings couples together. The relationship between Beatrice and Benedick is more realistic in today’s society than the relationship between…

grade 8 strings. We are going to go on about the existence of empathy in music. The creation, performance, and use of music exists in all cultures, places, and in history. Music increasingly brings together many people, including a vast amount of cultures and histories. Many would even claim that music could be referred to as a “Universal Language” that can conquer cultural difference, age, social class, ability, disability, and break down barriers of ethnicity. [*don’t say this, it’s just for…

Everywhere in the world there are so many differences, it’s unavoidable. There are always people who are different and have different views, but we have to get through these differences. The trailer “My So Called Enemy” shows girls bonding, even though their countries are fighting a war because of their differences. Both articles, “Texas vs. Johnson” by William J. Brennan and “American Flag Stands for Tolerance” by Ronald J. Allen state that you shouldn’t incriminate someone for their beliefs.…
