    Our blind date was late for 45 minutes; I started to get angry and annoyed, so I said ‘’ I knew it; this is why I hate online dating. I am leaving this stupidity.” In the same instant, she walked in, and the time stopped. It was the girl of my dreams, with big hazel eyes piercing through my soul. With her glowing skin, modest elegance and discrete makeup, she had style and glamour of classic Hollywood beauty. Simple five word ‘’ Hi, my name is Johana” made me feel as I know her for decades. In contradiction, Sergio and her sister Andrea left us almost immediately, as they didn’t have any mutual connection. The hours slipped by like seconds; we kept talking about countless subjects, oblivious of our surroundings; it turned out that we are like long lost twins reunited again. As we liked the same book (“The Forth Agreement”), food, sports, and even held the identical views on morality and…

    In his next phrase, “Like spring flowers blossom it and floats like a scent away,” he uses the image of “spring flowers” to refer again to these memories. In the image of this phrase, the memory blooms as easily and naturally as a flower blossoms; and then it fades away in the same way that a flower blooms and then withers. The flower (symbolic of an experience) appears, but even as the flower withers (experience ends) its fragrance (memory of the experience) remains.…

    It’s simple; everyone wants to find love, their soul mate. The short story, “The Lady with the Pet Dog” by Anton Chekhov, describes the trials and tribulations people put themselves through to find true love. The two main characters, Gurov and Anna, are trapped in loveless marriages, secretly searching for something more. Anna lives during a time in Russia where women are submissive to men, “soul mates” were chosen by perspective parents, and divorce was not an option. Her lover, Gurov, describes her as timid, naïve, and urgently passionate; but it is ultimately her provoking inexperience that leads them to fall in love with each other. Anna portrays a young, innocent woman who lacks confidence, respect, and love. She is faced with what she believes to be the ultimate betrayal – adulterous affairs of the heart; however, Anna is on the quest to find true love, just like everyone else.…

    The abundance of small yellow flowers is a form of imagery to depict sense of peacefulness and tranquility. This great use of a literary device evokes the reader’s ability to create his or her own interpretations. For instance when imagining the quote I think of peaceful times in Macondo. The quote is so meaningful in my opinion because it can make the reader think of so many possible different images. I also see the yellow flowers and a nostalgic reminiscing of playful times of my childhood. The quote really resonates with me because I love reading vague literature, not because of the ambiguity in direct meanings but the connectivity among readers from it.…
