Someone once said “It’s better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all” well I’ve experienced this first hand. It all started in the ninth grade, I was one of the most well-known freshman at the school. I was walking to my first class stopping to speak to someone every few steps. I finally made it to my first class and there she was in the last seat of the first row. She was one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen. So I sat in my seat and stared at her for what only seemed like a few seconds but in reality turned out to be almost two hours. Next thing I know the bell had rang to switch classes. As I walked out of class to find her she had disappeared so I carried on with my day. My next class was extremely boring but I could only seem to think about her. I was stuck my mind and heart were both racing side by side. All of these questions and doubts were on my mind who was she, what was her name, would she like me I couldn’t begin to understand what was happening to me.
Once again the bell had rang and I walked to my next class hoping to see her but I didn’t. I was in class for about five minutes and had finally calmed down. But next thing I know she was walking through the door. She sat right in front of me and I froze. That’s how I knew I had been struck by cupid’s arrow.
A few weeks later in our math class my teacher realized I was pretty good at math and she was pretty bad at it so she paired us up so I could help her. I was so ecstatic it gave me a reason to talk to her. But that was only the beginning. We also had science together and we were the teacher’s two favorite students. On account of the teacher knew my mom and she was one of her basketball players. So automatically the teacher realized I was attracted to her. Unexpectedly one day the teacher called me up and was talking to me about her and she made slight small comments to let me in on the secret that the girl liked me back. Eventually it was too late I had waited too long and she started dating one of my teammates. So me and her became best friends, we were really close. My attraction to her soon started to dwindle but our friendship kept growing stronger. Our friendship was so good we started to go on double dates and talk to each other about relationship issues. Our favorite teacher even separated us in class because we always goofed off and never got any work done. Somehow we ended up in the corner of the library with a few other friends playing truth or dare. Now back in high school this was the game that helped people get closer to their crushes. But by this time I was over her.
Why didn’t Shakespeare use a traditional comedy ending in ‘Love Labour’s lost’? In this essay I will be talking and explaining the reasons why I think why Shakespeare didn’t end ‘Love Labour’s Lost’ with a traditional comedy ending, which is always a happy ending, which is either a marriage or a promise of new life. Throughout the play, we, as the reader get to realise that the majority of the men are immature and not ready to be in a committed relationship or marriage, as the King declared that…
Is Love Worth The Cost Of Loss ? I really think that means a lot of things like making choices and knowing if those choices are right. And it’s all just hard work you never want to leave you family or someone you love you want to have both and you don’t want to fight over your family and your love one. You want everyone to get along and you really don’t want to fight with your family and love one and you also want your best friends to get along with other people you know .Who will your…
human beings require the need for love, intimacy, and friendship before advancing on to the subsequent stages in life. The sense of love and belonging has become a necessity in human interactions for affection and acceptance to emerge. An American social psychologist, Zick Rubin suggests that romantic love can be classified into three separate elements: “attachment, caring, and intimacy.” However, post-World War I surfaced to become like any other decade. The Lost-Generation of the era soon emerged…
"I've fought many wars in my time. Some I've fought for land, some for power, some for glory. I suppose fighting for love makes more sense than all the rest." – Priam, Troy (2004) Some love war or have the notion that war is love but who is to decide which hold greater passion or power? The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway and the movie based off the novel Dear John by Nicholas Sparks greatly portrayed those reoccurring themes by the main characters in both. The Sun Also Rises main characters…

Alec Cranston Adv. English 12 Ms. Watson Feb.8th, 2015 Is our generation a lost generation? Is our generation a lost generation? To answer that question, I will arise my opinions through valid, key points that depict why I believe we are a lost generation. I believe this because we constantly value money and other luxuries over our own family, along with putting much less important activities before the needs of our families, as well as having little to no concern for our near and far…
meridian splendour, to Homer, Dante and Shakespeare. But seats only lower than these, and hallowed with perhaps richer offerings of human sympathy and love, are granted to genius dead ere its time, cut down in the freshness of its morning radiance. It is here that Marlowe is to be sought, side by side with Collins and Shelley and Keats. What the world has lost by the untimely close of his career we cannot know; but we do know that, even had he lived, he could never have been ‘another Shakespeare.’ For nature…

Love. L.uh.vuh. What is that? The Webster dictionary defines it as ‘a passionate affection for one of the opposite sex.’ Dictionary.com says it’s ‘a warm personal attachment or deep affection for one.’ These definitions abdicate much room for altercations. They only scratch the surface on an unknown world of the actual meaning. As one who has seen the many faces of love, I feel the need to cast light upon it to all the people whom use it wrong for it is a foreign concept to all. Throughout the…
