Love is Rare

Paper #4

“Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never…never forget it,” Curtis Judalet. This quote clearly expresses the idea that love is rare, unforgettable, and should be cherished. Shown among the poems Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone by W.H. Auden, To My Dear and Loving Husband by Anne Bradstreet, and Champagne written by myself, Katelyn Hayes, with the use of tone, the themes exemplified throughout each of the poems express only a few of the various types of love.

Course Reflection

As expressed throughout the many lectures, we as a class were encouraged to express our ideas. With this constant encouragement, we slowly became more knowledgable on each topic discussed. The knowledge not only came from our professor, however from my classmates as well. We are created differently for a reason, and that reason being to express the different ideas to which we possess. By elaborating on each topic of each lecture, not only myself but others as well became more involved in the classroom discussion. Not all, but most classrooms discussions have greatly impacted my overall outlook on life.

You got a dream. You got to protect it.

Life at a crossroads when confronted with abortion

We as humans are created to have different opinions, these opinions help make our decisions in life. As expressed throughout the lecture based on the short story Hills like White Elephants, the themes conveyed, express a deeper meaning based on abortion. Throughout the lecture, the pros, cons, themes, and symbols were expressed in great detail. A variety of the pros elaborated in the lecture consist of: the chance of a woman being raped, poverty for the family, the physical state of the child, as well as if the child were to believed to cause physical harm for the mother. On the contrary, there are a variety of cons associated with the political issue being that of abortion. For instance some cons include using abortion as a form of birth control, the moral ethics associated with abortion, also abortion being used as a form of murder, lastly using abortion for needed government assistance. Although abortion is a complicated decision and there are many plausible reasons for one to get an abortion, I am a firm believer in the idea that abortion is detrimental for women and society as well.

“We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves,” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Dating back to February 7, is another classroom discussion which has had a great impact on me. The topic of the discussion, deception. To deceive, meaning to mislead by intentionally misrepresenting. We are all misleaded in one way or another, we are blinded by the half truths, and observed to be tricked because of our naive nature. By reacting to one’s deception, one is conforming to the illusions to which are false.
