Recreating a myth
An Echo in the Shuffle
(Story of a lover’s Chase)
It is a story of a lover, a selfless one. It is a story of perseverance and persistence, of patience and passion. Love turned into a desirous need, lasting forever. It is a tale of day and night, of Sun and the Moon. Time had just begun, Artemis, the moon was fascinated by his changing phases. He was then known as The Waxing Crescent. Therefore he knew nothing of what was coming for him. He had started his orbit around the young Earth and he loved how the rays of light shone on him, increasing their intensity day by day. Until the day he had a glimpse of Cira, the Sun.
That was the time he got to know of real beauty. He was but attracted to this flawless epitome of awe. He realized the real reason behind his completeness. He had turned into a full moon for the first time and he could feel happiness dripping out of him. His enthusiasm was matchless and Cira was now his need. He had fallen for her deeply.
On the side of the picture, Cira was the light to everything. Without her everything seemed incomplete. That was the reason why she was proud and ignorant of love and acknowledgement. Though she could cast light on everything in the world, she was ferocious in her own skin. She could burn anything that would come closer to her. In

We see its signs till date. The blur blotches we see on the face of the moon are not just mere marks but they are the scars Artemis has due to a broken heart and a weak soul. On the nights when the sky is red, that is when Artemis bleeds in pain. It is when we know he aches for Cira’s love. Also, when it rains at night, it is not because the weather is bad. It is when Artemis cries his heart out, the time when he actually lets out all the despair in the form of tears. It is for us to know that Love is not as simple as it seems. It is an ordeal, a delusion. You not always get what you desire, rejection can always be

The author stresses this point on the very last page by summing up once again the mother live through the symbolism of a sea horse” outside, a faint sliver of what only two weeks ago had been a full moon dangled like a seahorse from the sky”(pg 260) the seahorse shaped moon like her mother was alive and bright just weeks ago, compared to now where her mother is dead only leaving the sliver of what it once
In some way my journey was like that of the moon- although I had even more thick clouds coming my way to make my spirit dull.” (pg 69) Here the moon always makes its way into the sky at night and to Ishmael it symbolizes his life.

Do we really love what we do? In the article “In the Name of Love,” Miya Tokumitsu covers the issue that doing what you love (DWYL) gives false hope to the working class. Tokumitsu reviews how those who are given jobs ultimately cannot truly love what they do because of the employers who make jobs possible. These same employers keep their employees overlooked.

This is one of the best examples of the use of light and dark imagery, as Shakespeare creates a visual picture to compare Juliet’s beauty to the light of the sun, but it also symbolizes the lover’s plight to remain together. Though they love each other so deeply, Juliet is the sun while Romeo is the moon; their fate enables them to be together briefly just as the celestial objects are only to meet at dawn and dusk successfully portraying their love. Romeo continues the inference of Juliet’s eyes to that of the light and beauty of the brightest of stars, when he states, " Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, Having some business, do entreat her eyes
For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” (I. v. 57-58) he proclaims out loud. Letting his heart take over his head, he subconsciously makes his way to her, where their lips press together like hands in prey yearning for a better future. However, the hope is to no

The subject of the poem is losing awareness and the ability to reason as the yearning for another intensifies. As with fragment 105A, fragment 47 expresses how the subject has no control over who she falls in love with because eros is the driving
The ending of James Joyce’s “Araby” is certain to leave its reader reeling. The final scene, in which the young protagonist fails in his mission to purchase a prize for the girl he loves, drips with disappointment. The reader feels a profound melancholy which matches the protagonist’s own, an impressive feat given the story’s short length and the lack of description, or even a name, given to the boy. How does Joyce arrive at this remarkable ending? By utilizing the trappings of the Boy Meets Girl and Quest “masterplots” in his story only to reveal the story as an Initiation, Joyce creates an experience for his readers that mirrors that of the protagonist.

'Mad ' (l. 5) stands for the loss of one 's sense of judgement and the possibility of being lead to behaviour that is most unlike oneself. The 'moon ' (l. 5), when present, generates a sombre atmosphere. The description of love being 'deeper than the sea ' (l. 8) means love, compared to the sea, holds an even vaster amount of unknown treasures and mysteries. Whether these are favorable or abominable is a question left unanswered.
However, the moon also carries “the first few stars,” showing that in the midst of darkness their is a glimpse of light. Although the speaker is always left sad when mother visits, the speaker also feels a little love that a mother rightfully possess. The moon came only to visit with no intention to stay. It comes and go and is headed to the “northern sky”. The moon passes the room as path to her intended destination.
Is there such a thing as a 100% perfect love? Haruki Murakami explores this question in his short story “On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning.” Murakami balances magical elements with reality to convey the message that the concept of perfect love in all probability does not exist but even if it did, it cannot overpower the rest of reality. Murakami uses elements of magical realism throughout his narrative to highlight the improbability of such a love’s occurrence.
