The Changes of Life

Love, relationship, and sacrifice are very common in a relationship between two people. In the short stories of “Tommy” by Kelly Ruth Winter and “The Night of Oranges” by Flavius Stan shows these themes that the characters go through. However, there are also differences between the two stories and how they interact with their loved ones. For instances, Winter continued in love with Tommy throughout her life and Stan shows his love for his brother by buying a gift for him on Christmas. It shows their sacrifice they made to prove their love for them. Winter and Stan both expresses their love and sacrifice yet they displayed it in a different way. The stories “Tommy” and “The Night of Oranges” are about love and relationships. However, in both stories the characters have a different relationship. In “Tommy” the relationship between the characters are a boy and a girl love. When Tommy was eight years old, he expresses his feelings toward Winter by tapping his shoes to make the sound “I love you” (Winter 27). In “The Night of Oranges” the relationship between the characters are fraternal. Stan shows his love for his brother by buying oranges for him as a gift for Christmas. When Stan hears that there were oranges that are selling at the market he thought he wanted to do something important and give his brother a big surprise (Stan 31). The characters in both stories are very loving towards their loved ones and would do anything to make them

    After reading the two short stories, Love in L.A by Dagoberto Gilb and What We Talk about When We Talk about Love by Raymond Carver, I have realized that a common feeling like ‘love’ can be painted into so many different pictures. Each one of these short stories is written by two different authors and sees ‘love’ at different angles. The character Jake in Love in L.A. has this vision of love that is more of a mockery. Then, Terri’s ex-husband in What We talk about When We Talk about Love has so much passion, but the kind of passion that can be interoperated as obsession. The lies and misconceptions of ‘love’ that Jake and Terri’s ex-husband display reveal that ‘love’ does not exist in a world filled with nothing but cruelty and evil actions.…

    James Maloney’s novel A Bridge to Wiseman’s Cove is beautifully crafted and achingly honest exploration of the transformative power of love. Maloney uses language techniques, such as imagery, characterisation, symbolism, themes and figurative language. This entices the reader into, positions them to feel and think ways about the characters and is given to inform the reader about the character. In ABTWC Maloney has used unconditional love to express the characters inner thoughts. He uses this to meticulously craft abstruse themes and characterisations. The Ways he has shown how transformative love is through points mentioned before and through the different forms of love (conditional and unconditional). I will present ways…

    The last paragraph at the same time also represents the prose as a whole: the life lesson, exploration, and emotion of love. The readers learn that one cannot trust anyone and can only trust oneself, as supported by the sentence “we are utterly open with no one”. Furthermore, the listing of “not mother and father, not wife or husband, not lover, not child, not friend” emphasizes that not even the closest person can be trusted, and that one can only trust one’s heart. Another life lesson is shown in “when young we think there will come one person who will savor and sustain us always”, meaning that when ones are all young, ones always believe in true love and the live-happily-ever-after stereotype, but in the end ones come to a realization that hearts can easily break in reality, and that true love may just be a fantasy. House metaphor is also presented by the “brick up” in the “you can brick up your heart as stout and tight and hard and cold and impregnable as you possibly can and down it comes in an instant”, and illustrating that even the strongest hearts can break, which is further justified by the run-on sentence using the repeated “and”s. The author then visualized some examples of emotion of love in the end to stimulate, engage, and communicate with the readers that the heart, a well-accepted common metaphor for emotion, reminds the readers of its…

    Within the two short stories One Intoxicating Evening of Spring Breeze, and Love and Bread, the emotion of love is carefully scrutinized. However opposite these stories seem to be, they both have some things in common. In One Intoxicating Evening of Spring Breeze, love is taken to be not nearly as important as financial stability, and in Love and Bread, love is perceived as something that conquers all. In One Intoxicating Evening of Spring Breeze, the narrator is a desperately poor man living in shanghai, waiting to make money off of his translations. Lewis, Strindberg's main character, is also a translator, who banks on selling his translations to pay for his debt. In both stories, the authors deal with both sides of the ever present idealisms in the world. The tone in both pieces is strikingly different. Ta-Fu's story seems to be covered in a dark cloud of hopelessness, as Stindberg's is shone upon by beams of hope. In both Love and Bread and One Intoxicating Evening of Spring Breeze, the authors touch upon the subjects of love and poverty, but both in a different light.…
