...E. Caleon BS Accountancy 1-3 FOREVER: An Illusion or Reality One word, three syllables, and seven letters: Forever. A word that could make people start a heated and long argument, giving out their points and opinions, when asked if there is such a thing as forever? According to dictionaries, forever means an extremely long time, for everlasting time, continually, endlessly, always and so on and so forth. A simple and short word yet gives a sweet and big meaning but does ‘forever’ really meant forever? Was it merely an illusion, to satisfy a person and give some sort of hopeful fantasy, or a reality that we can hold unto? If you start a conversation about ‘forever’, it will always be linked to the word ‘love’ and sometimes ‘life’. However, life is limitless and not endless. At anytime of the day, our life may come to an end hence there are a lot of quotes about “life is too short..”. Human life on this world will very likely continue to exist after you have ceased to do so however at some point in time, either catastrophe or evolution, human beings will cease to exist. In addition to this, in the very far future, all life on Earth will cease to exist; and in the very far future after that, the world may comes to an end. And I think I could conclude that according to science, life on Earth and even the world itself is not forever. “I love you forever”. A phrase that a person is reeling to hear from the person they love. They could be a friend, a family...

...like strand (now: beach). Here we have somebody who writes the name of the person he loves on the beach, because he wants the world to know he's in love. It's not clever because when the tide comes, the waves will wash it away. In poetry they use metaphor. An example : “you are like a red rose”, a red rose is a metaphor for beauty. Line 1-2: ‘’One day I wrote her name upon the strand, but came the waves and washed it away.’’ The speaker and his love are at the beach (strand) and the speaker is in a romantic mood, because he writes her name in the sand. The waves wash the name away. Line 3: “Again I wrote it with a second hand,” The speaker writes the name again. Second hand is the same as again. The line needs to be complete and he had already used “again”. Line 4 : “But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.” Tides: the periodic variation in the surface level of oceans. The tides are a metaphor for life and death, often used by poets, because it´s one of the cententies of life. The tide is presented as a predator. His pains (efforts) are the prey of the waves. Death is also a predator, the tides are life and death. Line 5-6: ‘’Vain man, said she, that doest in vain assay, a mortel thing so to immortalize.’’ Vain has two meanings here, Vain (man) = you think too highly of yourself. Vain (assay) = useless (try). It´s useless to try and make her live forever, to make her immortal, she’s telling him. That´s impossible. In doing so he´s proving...

According to my Dictionary, forever means lasting, permanent, continually and for always. Scientifically saying, we can already conclude that FOREVER is a big lie. Of course no one could stay forever. I just want to share the quote I know: 'The only permanent thing in this world is change', meaning there is no such thing as constant and consistent. All people will die. All things are being depreciated until they are lost in time. The people you are meeting, the friends you have, the relatives you got and you, yourself will be vanished from this world. The iPhone you are using, the condominium you are in, the luxuries you are enjoying will also be gone. Even Earth will die approxiamately 10 million years from now. But have you ever been curious about how some things manage to be alive until now? Like the names, Einstein, Newton, Charles Darwin, Plato, Thales, etc.,. They lived for like thousands of years ago but until now, they...

...he was young, He lost his younger brother due to tuberculosis. And he himself was suffering from the same disease. He met a lovely woman, and fell in love with her, he was going to die soon. In “Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art“, Keats expresses both his love for her. And his painful, knowledge awareness that he cannot be with her forever. At the beginning of the poem, Keats shows a strong desire to be like a bright star. “Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art”ll. A star stands for something eternal or unchanging. Although various things happen in our day- to- day, stars always reside in the sky each night. So the bright star symbolizes immortality Keats wants to have. However, Keats clearly says that he does not want to be as lonely as the bright star. In this line, Keats expresses the importance of companionship, and the fear of being alone. Line 12, “Awake for ever in a sweet unrest”, means his love. Instead, he wants to be near and with his lover forever. but he could not stay with her. And in the next line, he says “Still,still to hear her tender-taken breath”, means that he used depletion with the word ‘still’, which is used to make an impression or for emphasis. He loved everlasting star and he thought that he star was her. The line explains that he wanted to live forever with his lover, and, that moment, it was very important for him. In the line, the word “still” heard me he’s last shriek I believed. Keats, however Knows...

...The word commitment can mean different things to different people. It can conjure up images of dedication to a task or mission, it can refer to an obligation to family, or it can relate to a person’s resolution to conform to what society expects of them. However, more frequently it is linked to the idea of love and relationships; and in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” that is certainly the translation that is examined. Act 2, Scene 2 of the play in question is where the famous “balcony” scene takes place. It is the location where both lovers declare their mutual love for eachother and their desire to commit to eachother. Very quickly Juliet commits to “… follow thee my lord throughout the world”. In short she falls in love with him so entirely that the instantly commits to conforming to the role of a woman that was expected by society in Verona during the Shakespearian era – to become her husband’s “servant”. Of course by 2015 standards that would seem awful to most people, however, in the 15th century this was very much the accepted view. Juliet refers to Romeo as her “lord” for his duty to her once married was to provide for her, and offer her the security that her father’s wealth did not as women were unable to inherit their father’s estate. In return married women were expected to be grateful for the opportunity of marriage and were required to show this by baring her husband’s children (heirs), maintaining the home her husband provided her with, and to obey her husband’s...

...thought has found words” (Robert Frost). The quote is especially true for the Shakespearean sonnets which are traditionally about love. People can express the thought of love through words on a page. In the Shakespearean sonnet, “Bright Star, would I were stedfast as thou art”, the author, John Keats, expresses his love towards a woman named Isabella Jones. At the time, they were just friends, but Keats wanted their relationship to go further. To express Keats’s love towards Jones, he uses comparison of a star’s qualities to explain their love. The personification of a star expresses the main theme of eternity. In the first lines Keats writes, “Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou...

...I love you for whom you are and not what you are. So be assured that my love for you is beyond all that I sees around you, I love you then, now & forever. We fight. We make mistakes. We disagree. But it doesn't change the way I feel about you. You're all I could ever wish for. Loving you was my only choice and decision through determination, so, don't take it for granted and again, don't play with my heart. The first time I saw you, my heart recognized you. It got warmed by your flame and now it's so hot waiting for a cool message from you. I love you so much. My Momma told me the greatest thing to learn in life is to love and be loved in return. Will you teach me? Sometimes my eyes get jealous of my heart. Know why? Because you always remain close to my heart and far from my eyes. 1. We never know how this closeness has started. We will never know how it would end. But whatever happens, when our closeness is gone, I will never forget how you made me smile once in a while 2. I had been believing that there is a paradise beyond the skies. But now I realized that heaven is just right here on earth, because what would an angel like you be doing here if heaven is somewhere else? 3. We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. 4. A great love? It’s when you shed tears and still you care for him, it’s when he ignores you...

...I used to believe that love was a light switch. Something flicks on. You get an overwhelming sensation. It hits you like a bag of bricks. Or a strong arrow. When you know, you know. Right? Not so much. After 28 years, I don’t see love that way anymore. I’ve placed Cupid right next to Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. Love is a series of choices. The first choice is based on many many factors, including chemistry, principle, logic, humor, intelligence, body type, where we are in our lives, what we want / need… the list goes on and on, and the weight of each factor varies depending on the individual. Based on these factors, we either choose to begin the process to love or not. If we decide to enter this process, the action of loving can bring “light switch” moments. The way he looks at you. How hard she make you laugh. The notes he hides in your purse. The way she makes you feel when you don’t feel anything. But like an airplane flight, there is turbulence. The fights. The disagreements. The little things that bother you. His socks. Her shopping. You start wondering if you’ve made the right choice. Once you are in doubt, you have to make another choice. To continue to fly with this person or jump out of the plane. This choice is based on a thousand other factors, again depending on the individual and where they are in their journey. If you decide to jump, the scary free fall will either make you stronger (grow) or miserable (depressed). But sooner or later, you’ll find...

...only compliment one another but also complete each other. The character of Rocco was first seen as an irresponsible casanova that doesn't believe in love and forever and little did he know that all he needed was a strong, dignified, and upbeat person like Rocky in order for him to bend his past beliefs. Of course, Lala was also a relevant character in the movie. She is the living reminder of how sacred marriage is and how it really works out despite inevitable conflicts. Throughout the movie we watched how Rocco evolved to a mature person with the help of his "spouse", Rocky. At first, the mention of the words "commitment", "love", and "forever" makes him cringe but being with Rocky, he began to realize that believing in those three words isn't so bad at all and he became a committed person that he wanted to marry Rocky for real. Given the fact that this movie has no antagonist, it only shows that problems on marriage not only arise in external forces but also within each one of us. With Rocco battling his inner demons and Rocky being there to help him face them. Lala was also there to mediate them whenever there are things that they argue about because their insights about certain things are different. Rocky also showed us that you never give up on the people you love. Even when you're on the verge of surrender, if you love someone, you need to keep in mind and trust that he is capable of changing for the better. And abiding by this principle, Rocky helped Rocco become...

...Andrew Katz 1984 Control: The government wants it; the people fight against it. In the book 1984, by George Orwell, people are losing the fight. Oceania will forever be enslaved by Big Brother, due to the dependence Oceania citizens have for their government, physical and intellectual control the Party has over the people, and the inability to think against Big Brother. Government dependence will forever enslave the people of Oceania. People simply cannot live without Big Brother. Orwell writes, “a member of the Outer Party received only three thousand clothing coupons annually” (Orwell 31). The Party provides clothing for the people, thus ensuring government dependence. In the book, people work at different ministries such as the Ministry of Peace, the Ministry of Love, and the Ministry of Plenty. Big Brother is the sole employer, and, as a result, the government is the only means of support. Recreational rewards such as smut movies, cigarettes, and gin are all part of the Party’s incentives as well. They capitalize on society’s weakness to addiction. Thus, if the people wish to feed their addictions, they must obey Party rules. If people were to revolt against the Party, they lose these benefits. The Party creates these addictions to ensure the citizens compliance. Above all, the Party provides food. This guarantees dependence on the Party. Without food, there is simply no way to live; in this way, the...

So I did the first part and I would like to point out that it turned out semi-good. :) So Now I'm doing this part (Or have done since if you’re reading this it'll probably already be done..... So yeah... ONWARDS!!!!!!!!!) Okay so my first symbol was some hands. What In The world could hands mean??? It could mean love or Family but to me it means friendship. What??? How??? Well if the person Is your true friend they will forever hold on. They would go through the ups and every-single-one of the downs just to stay your friend. That's why I drew hands, because hands are forever holding on to something... anything just to hold on. But The Next Symbol Is A Little Confusing I Think. It's a broken heart.
