...Love in L.A. Towards the middle of the story after the accident happened he was asked for a copy of his license. Jake lied and said he did have one when in fact he did not. He then offered to write down his information on a piece of paper. He had to make a decision when she asked for his phone number. He chose to make up a phone number instead of giving Mariana a real phone number. The reason he made that decision was because he had already written on a piece of paper a made up last name, address, and also he wrote the name of an insurance company an old girl- friend once belonged to. So it would not have been very smart to give her the right phone number. After Jake made that decision he was able to leave free knowing that he would not have to be responsible for the damage he caused on the girls car. I completely disagree with his actions, if I was the character in that same position I would have given the girl the right information because it is wrong to lie to someone and have them be responsible for someone else’s mistakes. Not just that it seemed to me like he had something for the girl and obviously the girl’s actions showed that she had something for him. If he had not lied to her then maybe he would have been able to actually call her like she asks him to towards the end of the...

...Love is Hard to Find in L.A. After reading Love in LA and A Food Man is Hard to Find, it becomes clear at first that the stories are very different, though, with a deeper look you can start to see a few subtle similarities. Love in LA tells the story of a young man named Jake, who ironically only seems to love himself. Jake has a very brief encounter with a woman named Marina after the two have a fender-bender while navigating through LA traffic. A Good Man is Hard to Find tells the story of a family that is going on vacation which goes horribly awry after what seems to be a major accident, and the ironic run-in with the worst man possible known as “The Misfit”. Characters and Their Morals In “Love in LA”, every step of the way it seems that Jake’s decisions were all selfish and inconsiderate. From giving fake information after the accident to claiming to have “been in a few movies” in hopes of getting a phone number, it is apparent that Jake’s outlook on life is heavily revolved around his own well-being without the consideration of others. We are given very little information about Marina’s point of view on things. She is portrayed as innocent and even considerate when she talks about her dad being disappointed if she didn’t report the accident. Her final words make her seem almost gullible for falling for Jake’s charm when she says “call me” before departing. In “A good Man is Hard to Find” the main character is the grandmother of the family. In the first page of the story...

...Love and Death in Keats’ “La Belle Dame Sans Merci ------------------------------------------------- Hereby I certify that the essay conforms to the international copyright and plagiarism rules and regulations. ------------------------------------------------- Student’s signature: Ditti Kovács Boglárka Kiss British Literary Seminar 05 May 2013 Ditti Kovács Boglárka Kiss British Literary Seminar 2013.05.05. Love and Death in Keats’ “La Belle Dame Sans Merci” In poetry the most important things are to express feelings and to tell a story. Obviously most of the time these poems are about life, death, the meaning of life, love, but it can also tell a complete story. Throughout the history, basically every poet has written about love and death. Because of the fact that these themes surround our whole life, it is not surprising that these topics have an impact on people’s mind, and they have to deal with these in a way, and poetry is perfect for this. People have always been interested in the question of death, the unfulfilled love and suffering, and because of the fact that these feelings are related to every people in the world somehow, these poems, which deal with these themes, are considered to be the most beautiful ones. These works can be understood easily, and readers can feel close to the poet’s feelings. In the early 19th century, in Europe, people became interested in the folk roots of literature. Poets want to show the natural, ancient state...

...Como ríe la vida si tus ojos negros me quieren mirar. Y si es mío el amparo de tu risa leve que es como un cantar, ella aquieta mi herida, todo todo se olvida. El día que me quieras la rosa que engalana, se vestirá de fiesta con su mejor color. Y al viento las campanas dirán que ya eres mía, y locas las fontanas se contaran su amor. La noche que me quieras desde el azul del cielo, las estrellas celosas nos mirarán pasar. Y un rayo misterioso hará nido en tu pelo, luciérnaga curiosa que veras Que eres mi consuelo. El día que me quieras No habrá más que armonía. Será clara la aurora Y alegre el manantial. Traerá quieta la brisa Rumor de melodía. Y nos darán las fuentes Su canto de cristal. El día que me quieras Endulzara sus cuerdas El pájaro cantor. Florecerá la vida No existirá el dolor La noche que me quieras Desde el azul del cielo, Las estrellas celosas Nos mirarán pasar. Y un rayo misterios Hará nido en tu pelo. Luciérnaga curiosa que veras Que eres mi consuelo. It caresses my dream, The smooth murmur of your sighing. How life laughs, If your black eyes look at me. And if it is mine the shelter Of your slight laughter That is like singing, It calms my wound, Everything is forgotten. The day that you love me The rose that adorns, Will dress in celebration With its best color And to the wind the church bells Will say that already you are mine, And the crazy fountains Will tell about their love. The night...

...Anthony’s latest songs; it reflects his love for his wife and how he compares her to a delicate flower. Anthony writes his music to show people that you can find love anywhere and experiment the beauty it has to offer. Even though Marc Anthony is describing a flower, the language he uses leads the listener to understand that he is actually talking about his lover. Music wise, this song represents a strong love in Anthony’s life. Up until the early and mid 90’s, Anthony was known as a backup singer and he later on was songwriter. His music usually composed of freestyle and house and was later on changed to salsa and other Spanish music. This song represents Anthony’s new life that he will encounter with his former wife Shannon De Lima. The music of this song has a very romantic yet enthusiastic feel to it which may represent the love he has towards former wife. The lyrics to "Flor Palida" tell a wonderful love story that has come to be what is now a reality. I believe that the flower was intended to represent a beautiful woman. He says in the second stanza “recuperó el color que había perdido, porque encontró un cuidador que la regara; regained the color that was lost, because it found a caregiver who watered it”. This symbolizes that the woman slowly started to form a liking towards him, and unfolded to show him the appreciation that she has. I feel that this represents that he was a man of his word and it truly expresses the love he has for her. He also says in the third...

...Viva la Vida! by Frida Kahlo Introduction Painting has always been a way for artists to display the reality in which they live, regardless of whether it is an inner reality, consisting of personal experiences, emotions and feelings, or external reality formed by other people, animals, nature, or other thing. Frida Kahlo is an artist whose work is the result of a reflection of her inner reality, woven from her feelings and emotions. The pain and suffering, which she endured in her life, not only hardened her character, but also largely determined the features of her work. Frida Kahlo's creativity is unique due to the fact that it reflects not only the unique life story of the artist, full of mental and physical sufferings, but also demonstrates the spiritual qualities of Frida, such as fortitude, endurance, willingness to fight for life. For this reason, the study of the creativity of the Mexican artist involves an appeal to the facts of her biography. It helps to understand and grasp the specifics of her creations, each of which is capable to communicate with the audience in the language of love, suffering, and hopes of life. In this paper, one of my favorite artworks, namely Viva la Vida! (1954) by Frida Kahlo in connection with the life of the artist will be analyzed. The Facts from the Biography of Frida Kahlo Frida Kahlo (1907-1953) is known worldwide as one of the most dramatic figures in the history of art: at the age of 18 she got in a terrible car accident that...

...Although José Rizal, now eleven years old, had passed a good entrance examination in Manila in June, 1872, he nearly failed to matriculate in theAteneo in July, because his mother's arrest had made him a month late, and because he looked so little, so slender, so young. He would not have been admitted at all but for the intercession of Dr. Manuel Burgos, a nephew of the recently executed Dr. José Burgos. When finally the boy was accepted, he went to mass and prayed fervently. (01) He had something to pray about and to study for! Tragedy had set purpose ablaze in his young soul --, purpose that would never die. He did not know how to help his home and country but he wouldfind a way! Following the rigid methodical habits which he had learned from his father and which were taught by his Jesuit teachers, he prepared a schedule so that he would not lose an hour: study and reading until four p.m.; four to five, exercise; five to six social and miscellaneous obligations. This careful husbanding of every minute began to show results almost at once. He began at the bottom of the school, but within a month he was "Emperor of Rome". The Ateneo had divided the students into two "empires", Roman and Carthaginian, to fight for academic supremacy. It was this war that soon brought young Rizal triumph and prizes. At the end of the first quarter he received the grade "excellent". When one of the teachers hurt his feelings he stopped trying for honors, so that at the end of the year he came...
