The Connection We Have By David D Yearwood

983 Words4 Pages

Different Ways to Describe Love There are many ways to compare one subject in life, especially love. For example, the song Here to the Moon and Back by Dolly Parton uses a lot of hyperboles to show how much they love their lover, while the poem The Connection We Have by David L. Yearwood uses metaphors and hyperboles to describe how a couple’s love can change one another. A comparison between Here to the Moon and Back and The Connection We Have reveals that they share the meaning of love, but also differ because the message in Here to the Moon and Back is that loving someone can feel as if it will never end and be eternal, while the message in The Connection We Have is about how a loving couple can change each other in many positive ways thanks to their love towards each other. …show more content…

For example, Parton says,” And I 'll spend forever just proving that fact from here to the moon and back”(Parton, Dolly, co protagonist. Joyful Noise, Warner Bros., 2012). She was stating that she would spend eternity proving to him how much she loves him, and that she would go as far as the moon and back to prove it. This quote clearly shows us an example of how she describes love. She describes it as going above and beyond for the other person no matter what, especially on showing them how much one loves them. In his poem poem The Connection We Have, Yearwood writes,” A part of me will always be you and a part of you will always be me. no matter what happens, that much is certain, our souls are one, till that moment comes”(© David L Yearwood). This quote reinforces the idea of a couple being inseparable and being connected for life no matter what happens. An examination of this quote reveals that no matter what comes at the couple that they are inseparable and that they will each have a part of each other in

Horwitz’s reason for wanting to achieve this goal is because of his own ignorance that he sees while at Plymouth Rock. “Expensively educated at a private school and university- a history major, no less!-I’d matriculated to middle age with a third grader’s grasp of early America.” Horwitz is disappointed in his own lack of knowledge of his home country, especially with his background history and decides not only to research America’s true beginnings, but to also follow the path of those who originally yearned to discover America.
