Sons and Lovers

even more frizzy. She looked over shoulder, to see a group of people gathering around a large bonfire. She skipped over, her fingers wrapped around her opposing wrist as she watched people let out hollers as some girl winced, her wrist band falling into the flames making them roar even higher into the dark sky. Summer watched as they popped wristband after wristband off. She picked at her lips with her fingers, anxiety crawling up her throat, hoping they didn't force her to remove hers. "I'd notice that lip-picking anywhere," a simple and smooth voice boomed in her ear. She turned to look, her eyes falling upon glowing emerald ones. Her lips perked up as he hummed at her, "Summer Connors, the lover of frogs." Summer giggled, her laugh vibrating his ears, "Ethan Cooper, the second lover of frogs." She raised her hand in a fist, as did he and she both did their special secret handshake. Fist bump, fist bump up, fist bump down, fist bump center, and lastly firework. Her smile spread even wider as they made the small explosion sounds, "So, you're really Ethan Cooper." "I really am Ethan Cooper," he confirmed and nudged the girl with his hip. His arms were crossed across his chest as he smiled brightly down to his sidekick. She pushed him slightly back with both her hands, "It's good to see you again, Ethan." Summer beamed up at him, the fire warming and lighting up both of their freckled cheeks. He nodded, his eyes bouncing across the fire as he muttered a soft you too.…

In this sense, her negations counteract the blind lack she originally experiences; while she was blind to the lover’s manipulation, the assertions “I was not asleep” or “I was not blind” suggest the speaker now understands the unfair, and even patriarchal, power structure that exists between her and her lover. The incessant repetition of “I was not” or “I did not” undermines the strength of these assertions however, as the speaker’s choice to state “I was not blind” rather than “I could see”…

“And one man in his time plays many parts, / His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, / Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms. / And then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel / And shining morning face, creeping like snail / Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, / Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad / Made to his mistress’ eyebrow.” (II.vii.141-48) Jaques is defining all the stages of man. Though these stages may be overgeneralized, they hold truth to them. The first line…

The timeless idea of star-crossed love Every year on New Year’s, Eve millions of people across the world set resolutions or goals for themselves. 38% of people say that they are going to diet. When you diet, it is ‘forbidden’ to eat junk food. Each year, only 8% of people that diet as their New Year’s resolution actually stick to it. The reason? When something is forbidden, it becomes much more desirable. The same goes for the idea of star-crossed lovers. Star-crossed lovers are defined as “Two…

opined that the concept is a desire for sexual involvement with the parent of the opposite sex, which produces a sense of competition with the parent of the same sex and a crucial stage in the normal developmental process (Freud, 1913). In other words, Freud used the term to refer to a stage in the development of young boys.

hesitancy in Tom’s willingness to please. For most men, fellatio was an incredibly intimate experience, and he hoped Tom’s first time wouldn’t mirror his own disastrous encounter. He wanted his lover to enjoy the event as much as he knew he would, and therefore, he vowed to take on the role of mentor, just as his lover had done all those years ago. With his mind made up, he lovingly stroked Tom’s cheek with the thumb. “The first time is always the hardest, but if you really want to do this,…

wasteland. This wasteland is important to be mentioned to demonstrate the damage of the human soul caused by the industrial development. Extreme anxiety and restlessness became the deadly modern disease and for the purpose of helping people to restore their faith in god as well as to make them tolerate the postwar trauma, many writers used their pens as weapons to fight against the social evils and iniquity used by the industrial civilization. Lawrence is also one of those writers who looked…

one day, things turned disastrous. The two lovers strolled through the woods with locked arms. They happened upon the wolf pack who had once rejected the lone wolf. Despite all that had happened to him, including becoming a man, he still held a nasty grudge for what his former kin and done to him. When he saw them on their four paws picking at their fresh kill, he filled with rage as he recalled his hatred for their rejection. Using his command of the wind, he blew the wolves away and ripped…

of the adventure. Led by the forest guard, they enter in thick jungle; see a number of spotted deer and several pheasants, but no red jungle fowl. They escape a attack by elephants but they have to say goodbye to their car as they see “Grandfather’s fiat overturned by one of the elephants, while another proceeded to trample it underfoot. The other elephants joined in the mayhem and soon the car was a flattered piece of junk” (146). Thus, Ruskin’s childhood world was full of such hair-raising…
