Love Story

the biggest source of stories that human kind has, but now, things are changing. Today’s way to get introduced to a new story is, to watch a movie. The demand for movies is constantly increasing, so, why do some people still read books? Why do a countless number of people like to watch movies? There are countless differences between them, yet, they also have a great deal of things in common. Movies and books carry plenty of similarities, not only they narrate the same story, but they also make a…

In “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” the theme is love. The story is mainly based on dialogues between two couples, Mel and Terresa, and Laura and Nick. While they talked a lot, at the end of the story, they did not come up with a clear definition of love. Through symbolisms and writing style used in the story, Carver examed how difficult to define love. Raymond Carver was a minimalist writer, whose stories were written in a sparse use of language and paired down prose (Brent). That…

fiction is very different for me. Fiction stories are usually intriguing, filled with suspense and drama. They always have an unexpected twist that keeps you wanting more. With nonfiction, the stories are about personal experiences and not always as exciting as a fictional story. If the nonfiction story is not correctly written, the story becomes very boring. For this assignment, I chose Joan Didion’s On Going Home and Langston Hughes’ Salvation. The two stories had an area which I was able to…

The Love Direction At some point in our lives we will experience the effect that love plays in our life. It will make you go places you never intended to go and do things that you never intended to do.

In the story, a man and a girl are at a party when the man,…

is a genuine and completely non-violent game with a nontraditional story (2014). I, however, think that there is a darker side lurking beneath this game. It successfully reveals inner lives of the family in a haunted house in 1995. From discovering the journals of Katie’s little sister -- Sam, we get to know that Sam falls in love with a brave young girl who is at the height of post-punk teenage rebellion. This lovable queer story serves as an honest and relatable depiction of what it was like…
