In Timothy Findlay's the wars, Robert Ross's journey of love, loss and war resembles a parody of romance. When someone thinks parody, they think of mimicking or imitating to criticize an initial piece of work. A parody can neutrally illuminate and/or simply comment upon a piece of work without necessarily mocking it. In this case, we see a parody of the typical romance; a strong male, a damsel in distress or perhaps some sort of wealth and the long fighting journey he takes to get to his goal.…

What are the insane sacrifices people make for love and what are the consequences? In “ The Gift of the Magi” written by O.Henry and “ The Bass,the River, and Sheila Mant” written by W.D.

The first piece that I’m going to discuss is “The kiss” by Klimt. I’m so moved by this painting not for the depiction itself but for the technique and time that he used. This is perhaps Klimt's most popular and notorious artwork of sexual love. The kiss is a very dynamic and distinctive piece in that you can clearly tell that the man and woman are in some form of love (or maybe they are just friends). The man that alone makes the piece is holding the woman so closely and lovingly. At the same…

“One’s taste in love will have a lot to do with one’s culture, upbringing, generation, religion, era, gender, and so on. Although we sometimes think of it as the ultimate oneness, love isn’t monotone of uniform.”, explained Diane Ackerman, author of Love’s Vocabulary.
