Love Poem

It love the Love Poem by John Frederick Nims. I think that it is nice that he wrote about love in the real life. Love isn't always roses and chocolates! But you have to look past your partners flaws and see their effort when they are trying. Nims describes a woman who he truly loves despite her clumsiness. It's not like the woman is trying to be clumsy on purpose, she is trying to be the best partner she can be. And I love how he does see her effort. In the end she states that when her hand drops white and empty (when she dies) all the toys of the world would break (toys meaning all their adventures and love for each other). I think that this means that their love is unreplacable and one of a kind. Over it was a very good, happy little poem.

Love

I think that love is a huge part of life. Just about every movie has to have some sort of romantic part, even if it's on the sideline of the main story. Most people, if not everyone, dreams of finding love and sharing if with that special someone. A lot of authors write about love too. I think they write about it because it's a common fantasy that people feel that they must have. I think that once love is found, the couple must work hard to maintain that love or it can fall apart. In the Hills Like White Elephants, this concept is shown very well. These two people who are in love have a trial before them and must figure out how to handle it properly. The man would like her to get the operation so that their love could go back to the way it used to be and they could be happy again. The woman is hesitant to make the decision, what if their love wasn't ever going to be the same and they didn't end up happy after the operation? Like I said, love is something you must work at in order to maintain it. It's not always happily every after forever, things happen and people change.

Why Is Hamlet A Tragedy?

I don't really like any of Shakespeare's writing and would consider all of his writings real tragedies... However, I don't think that is the kind of answer you are looking for. When I read Hamlet I simply hated the main character. He is very slow in making every major decision. Every action that he does is delayed. Clear up until the end, Hamlet doesn't know for sure if killing his uncle for revenge would be morally justified. Can I please say SLOW!!!! I mean 'come on and just make a decision already. Of course all of his actions would have a great consequence on the kingdom which could in fact end badly. So I guess I can kind of understand why the decision processes is a little backed up, but as a reader it can get kinda boring. And then at the end of the play, it's not even clear to me if everyone got their proper justice. What a sad story indeed, I guess that is why people call it a tragedy.
