Love tends to effect each character’s action differently. For example, love is what motivated the plot of the story “The Valley of Girls” by Kelly Link. For instance, the Olds observed society and performed actions to make sure their children are aligned with success. Love and social status is what makes these people relate, or correlate with each other; it reminds me of a government politically develop by love and society. In “The Valley of Girls” by Kelly Link, from Teenagers and Old are motivated by two specific motives, which are love and social status. Love in the story is like the energy in a kid, it drives the story and the characters in the story insane. For example, in the story love is what drove Hero into dying and will end killing Tara at the end, “Why should you go on living when she and I are dead? When no one remembers our names?” …show more content…
The life of a Teenager of this society tends to be kept and shown to be over protected by the Olds. Honestly, I’ve notice from people around me who parents are strict while being wily about everything they should not be exploiting. On the other hand, the Teenagers are being safeguarded because the story states “The Olds like to say its because we are children” (Link 674), that statement shows Teenagers somewhat despises hard they are looked down on, but they do not understand that the Olds just care and love hard, when it comes to their children. In addition, the Teenagers are viewed in the society as being irresponsible; They show this with the incidents and recreations everyone be involved in; For example, “Plus, the Olds got mad about one of the chairs […] The unicorn broke the back to kindling” (Link 670), This had happened because the Teenagers had through one of their negligent functions, that would at the end cause society to question the children or teenager
Nishka Maheshwary Jackie Reitzes Writing the Essay Section 50 28 April 2015 Exercise 5 Dear Adya, Recently, I have been reading a collection of essays by Ellen Willis that I have found to be quite intriguing. No More Nice Girls explores sex, gender, and feminism over a variety of essays, and displays a strong tension between how most feminists/activists believe action should be taken and what the author herself believes should be done regarding the issue. In each essay Willis confronts liberal and cultural feminism, and critiques the progress that has been made over time through her diction and witty questions, thus allowing the reader to see her true intentions of the argument. Willis strongly opposes the idea of cultural feminism,
George Saunders first published The Semplica Girl Diaries in The New Yorker in 2012 and then again in his collection of short stories Tenth of December, in 2013. The main characters are a middle aged, unnamed man and his family (a wife, two daughters and a son). In an interview Saunders admitted that the inspiration for this twisted story came from a dream which explains the origin of a strange concept in it— Semplica girls, women from underdeveloped countries paid to hang in rich people’s gardens, connected to each other by a wire in their brains. However, the main message is a conscious writing choice. This story explores the struggles deprived people go through and choices they make when facing them.
In this paper I will be discussing how Boys and Girls Clubs are used as a deterrence method to keep “at-risk” children off the streets. These programs are all across the country in inner cities and in rural areas. I will be using the Boys and Girls Club to look at its relationship with Social Disorganization theory. The Boys and Girls Club has been around since 1860, when three women decided to open their doors to underprivileged boys. They “believed that boys who roamed the streets should have a positive alternative” (Boys & Girls Clubs of America).
Love is when one loves someone so much they will do almost anything for the person they love. The feeling that one is loved is a substance that no one can take away and love is an existence that can make one feel special. Maria feels she is too old to be going on family vacations and is sick of them, will she go with them on the trip and spend time with her family? Or will she tell her family, she sick of going and stay home while her family has a lot of fun? This is all from “Growing Up” written by Gary Soto.
Love was the overall reason behind each and there were many examples of love in each story. Saeed and Nadia are the main characters in Moshin Hamid’s novel Exit West. They were both college students, living in the middle east, who had fallen in love with each other. Saeed and Nadia didn’t haven’t a traditional cultural relationship as they are from the middle east where it is still common for arranged marriages to happen over actual love. They were opposites of each other, Nadia was a non traditional woman, by not having much in common with most middle east woman.
Love is what makes the story what it is. It explains and shows why love is needed for

As the story progresses, love is expressed in the novel. The author uses character perspectives to express the theme of love. Love is a common topic played in society. The many types of love include, love for an object or thing, family love, and the love for the
Love is a mystery for many people, everyone has their views on what love should be and it is way more than just a definition in a dictionary. Love takes patience and time and not just forcing to find it. In the story, Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurstone, the main character Janie Crawford is raised by her grandmother who forces her to marry an older wealthy man. Janie 's realizes that isn’t what true love is and runs off with another man called Jodie. After many years she realizes that marriage didn’t work out either, after Jodies dies she meets a man called TeaCake who she falls for and runs away with.
Love is a universal human emotion explored in many ways through writing. In novels, romance is shown to be a common theme. It is used to show love in ways that readers can sympathize and relate to, but love can also be shown in different ways. There is more to love than romantic feelings for another person. For example, people show immense pride and love for their family, friends, culture, and even themselves.
Love has such a vast number of roles that it plays and everyone of them traces back to love. There is no one emotion, no one effect that love plays. The best way to show how love works is first to wonder what it can do. One aspect of love is forgiveness because it is generous, merciful and graceful.
Many of the adventures told in the Lois Lane series focus on the theme of physical transformation. Those stories feature Lois slipping on different roles in regards to physical appearance and femininity, something that can be considered appealing to the series’ intended readership (Williams 49). The first story in the very first issue of Superman’s Girl Friend, which was published in 1958, called “The Bombshell of the Boulevards” has Lois don a wig and take on the role of a French movie star, in order to get an exclusive interview with a foreign ambassador. In another story published in the first issue of the series Lois is turned into an old, and therefore no longer attractive, witch during the night, while remaining her young, beautiful self
Once you deeply analyze the characters relationships you come the realization that love is barely present. Each relationship appears to contain love for the wrong reasons. They portray love as money and riches. The women in the book find a man based on his money and how he can provide for her. They fail to search for a man they have an actual emotional connection with, because of this the men feel like the only way to find “love” is becoming rich and flaunting it for everyone to see..
Love is a choice, a feeling, a kind of belief and a kind of responsibility. I get this thesis from two different places. In the movie “Beauty and the Beast” and the novel “Phantom of the Opera,” we can see this theme when we analyze the similarities and differences between the characters of the Beast and Erik, and Belle and Christine. In the movie “Beauty and the Beast”, the Beast choice Belle, he do not choice any other girls.
Romantic love focuses on the innocent and pure aspects of Romeo and Juliet as well as Friar Laurence. Anti-romantic love contrasts this love by focusing the more lustful and realistic nature of love which is expressed by Mercutio and the Nurse. The result is that the audience tries to answer the question of what love is. Friar Laurence is one of the characters who represents the ideals of romantic love. Although he believes the love Romeo and Juliet share, is young and changeable, he still believes love is spiritual and transformative power.
