...True love is not a state of mind, but a state of being. It is the ultimate force that drives ones actions, whether moral or not. Love binds people, and demands attention to only itself. True love is what Mr. Jay Gatsby is enticed by, and this driving force, is his one and only Daisy Buchanan. Gatsby persistently tries to win over Daisy’s love, despite the cards that fate has dealt for him. Jay Gatsby has a dream of being with Daisy, and shows the audience his true love for her, demonstrated by his actions of love, his persistence, and the great sacrifices he makes for her.! ! For Jay Gatsby to fulfill his dreams of being with such a woman like Daisy Buchanan, he begins to demonstrate his actions of love towards her. Gatsby has wanted to see Daisy again since the first time he met her, so the tea at Nick’s house was his first chance at the perfect moment to show his true feelings for her. He goes through great lengths to redecorate Nick’s house to impress Daisy, and going out of his way to make sure things go as planned. The reader is aware that these somewhat “unnecessary” actions from Gatsby portray the way he chooses to show his affection. As Gatsby sees Daisy, he recalls that it will be “five years next November” (Fitzgerald, 88) since they last met. It is evident that has has been counting the days that have gone by without Daisy, clearly a reaction from a man yearning for Daisy’s love in return. Gatsby’s greatest action of love is one that has been in progress for many years —...

...Romeo and Juliet is a play about two people who think they are in love but they really aren’t. Romeo and Juliet aren’t really in love because love at first sight isn’t real,hey get married even though Juliet’s parents have plans for her to marry someone else, and they made lots of bad decisions. Romeo and Juliet fell in love in first sight. Teenagers can not fall in love in first sight because their brains are not fully developed yet and they can’t understand what real love is. They see each other at the party and fall instantly in love. Romeo was there to see a girl that he said he loved who wasn’t Juliet. Juliet was there to meet the man that her parents wanted her to marry. They hadn’t even talked to each other and Romeo said he was in...

...things to worry about than a stupid feud and it also shows he is not keen to talk about the feud either. He does not want to hear any more about the fight and he seems a little angry. When he says: “Here’s much to do with hate, but more to do with love” it shows that he thinks that the people feuding are stupid because they nearly love each other. He is saying that love and hate are very similar to each other and therefore the feud is useless. We know Romeo is feeling sad when he speaks of himself in the third person, “Tut, I have lost myself. I am not here. This is not Romeo: he’s some other where”, it shows how depressed Romeo is because his love was rejected by Rosaline. That tells us that Romeo is serious about his feelings and love. The use of oxymoron in Romeo’s speech makes him seem confused but wise, for example, “love is heavy and light” or “hot and cold”. “Love is heavy and light, bright and dark, hot and cold, sick and healthy, asleep and awake—it’s everything except what it is!” it shows how confused about love he is but it also shows how Romeo understands all the qualities of love. Because he understands all about love, we get a feeling that he is really serious about Rosaline and life. But even though he understands love, he thinks it does not last long. The use of metaphors in some of his speech makes the text interesting and helps Romeo express his...

...and over again because of the lyrics in the song and the message that the song portrayed to me. Christina Aguilera’s song titled “Beautiful”, to me, really portrays an uplifting and powerful message: You are beautiful no matter what they say Words can't bring you down....oh no You are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring you down, oh, no So don't you bring me down today... I think that is a really important message for everyone to know. People in this world can be really cruel and hurtful, especially to younger people who may not fit the “perfect body” profile. Another song I love simply because of the lyrics is Mariah Carey’s “One Sweet Day”. I believe the song’s lyrics can be really helpful to someone during a time of loss: And I know you're shining down on me from heaven Like so many friends we've lost along the way And I know eventually we'll be together One sweet day Another song that I really love just for the lyrics and the simple message that the song portrays is a song that never really got all that popular on the radio by Pink called True Love. It is just a really simple, yet funny song. It fits me and not only my husband perfectly but the relationship with my children and I as well: At the same time, I wanna hug you I wanna wrap my hands around your neck You're an asshole but I love you And you make me so mad I ask myself Why I'm still here, or where...

...need love to survive.” We do need love just like we need food and sleep. When we are younger we should receive love because it’s possible that we could not develop to love others. It’s very important for babies to get love because if they don’t there is a high chance that they will grow up to be alone and will have low self esteem. I agree that the “mother-infant relationship is the essence of love.” I agree with this because our mothers are really the first people we develop a real relationship with and how learn to love. If we don’t establish that relationship with our mothers, it will be relatively hard to love other people. Babies slowly learn how to live in the world and having a relationship with their mother is very important for the baby to develop relationships with other people while they are still young as well as when they get older. I agree with the talk about criminals. It says that they usually didn’t get enough love and affection while they were growing up. If you don’t get enough love as a child, you could end up going down the wrong path. You will most likely end up doing bad things to try and make up the lack of love and affection that you received as a child. Children with inattentive parents sometimes end up being criminals because they never really had anyone show them love 3 Disagrees: I disagree that babies need “continuous loving.” I think they just need to know that their mother is there and will acknowledge them. They just need enough love so they...

...He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not I don’t know that there is a way to define what true romantic love is. Every person’s love is different because every person is different. Loving someone means accepting everything about that person without trying to change them. I think that romantic love is rare. It is human nature to care for someone and often times that gets confused with love. To me, love is when your 80 years old, sitting on your porch with your husband or wife, looking back on your life together with no regrets, and threw all the hard times, you still want to wake up to that person in the morning. In “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love,” One of the main characters, Terri, argues that despite Ed’s violent behavior he still loved her in his own way. I disagree with Terri when she says that there was any love in hers and Ed’s relationship. If you love someone you do not abuse him or her. During Terri and Ed’s marriage, Terri described a certain incident when Ed was particularly violent towards her. Terri says “He beat me up one night. He dragged me around the living room by my ankles. He kept saying, ‘I love you, I love you, you bitch.’ He went on dragging me around the living room. My head kept knocking on things… What do you do with love like that?”(350) I don’t think that you can love someone so much that you want to hurt them; it should be the exact opposite. When Terri looks back on Ed and her relationship she happens to only bring up the bad and the violent...

...“Love” will be surely existent in our senses as the time get closer to Feb. 14, a day when passion is deeply associated with the heart. But my curiosity does not seem to be satisfied and it keeps me formulating various questions like; is it really true that the heart is the mastermind of love? What about the brain, is it also involved? Everybody hears the cliché when someone gets dumped; "My heart hurts". But does it actually hurt? And if it does, is it because they were in love? All reactions in the body start from the brain, right? Then the final question is; what should we use then in the name of love, our HEART or the BRAIN? The purpose of this article of mine is to put an end to this mystery and bring out the facts. I am assured that many young people like me are enthusiastically interested regarding this topic. Researching data of co notational definitions, BRAIN is the king of every living animal, and HEART is the genuine source of emotions. These two vital organs do really have a linking nexus. However, when it comes to love, it’s even more difficult to decipher what is really the actual function of these internal parts. So, can we say that brain is the starting point of love? And we feel the love through the heart, is that it? Let’s find out. According to an analysis by a Syracuse professor, it depends. That might be a very broad answer but based on her findings, she assimilated that you experience a similar sensation to one of using cocaine when you fall in love...

...Kirsten Logan “The Rental Heart” Essay Love is hard, especially when we live in a world with so many millions of people, different, every single human being, so unique and away from other human beings on the earth. We live in a world were hatred, war and racism has dominated for years. And we keep asking ourselves, why? Why do we still need love? Why can’t we live without it, and sometimes can’t live with it? What does it mean for us, when our hearts tell us to fell something for other humans? Its questions we keep asking ourselves because we don’t know how to handle love, how to control it, how to balance between our bad and good emotions and in the end we don’t know what real love is, before getting heart, maybe a few times. Love, emotions, a broken heart that never ends feeling empty, it’s basically what the story is about in the novel “the Rental Heart”. The short story presents a protagonist as neuter story teller. We don’t really know anything about this person, which sex the teller has, looks, anything from the outside besides the tellers thoughts and the chronological story that tells about the various attempts at love. The narrator introduces us to many different types of persons “she” had a relationship with. but that isn’t the focus we have in the novel, it is really about the questions we have on the persons’ sex’. The narrator keeps switching sex on “her” lovers, and sometimes we wonder if “she” switches “her” own sex. for example the narrators switching personality...
