    This is my cat ‘‘Buttercup’’. You might wonder: Why that name? Well, when I founded him, it was unavoidable to match his muddy yellow coat with the bright flower. He had a mashed-in nose, half of one ear missing and eyes the color of rotting squash. According to my older sister, Katniss, Buttercup was the world’s ugliest cat but it did not matter, because I knew that in the bottom of her heart she was starting to love him. Besides, he was a great help at home, for he was a born mouser. So, we did not have vermin problems anymore. Furthermore, Buttercup was very special for me; he made me feel safe when I had nightmares during the…

    Sam and Diane have been married for a few years now and, everything was so perfect in the beginning. There was nothing but plenty of love and romance. Even still, Sam had become more and more demanding of his wife until at a certain point he began demanding robotic perfection of his spouse. It took a few years, but Diane became more and more fed up. She became more and more hypersensitive and hyper-vigilant to anything that Sam said to her so that now, even the slightest criticism would enrage her against Sam which would cause her to remain angered for 24 hours at a time. However, she could not help herself. Her nerves were at their end and did not know any other way to react. Boundaries in Sam and Diane’s marriage were broken. Sam had broken the boundaries of freedom, responsibility, and love (Cloud & Townsend, 1999). Sam had not allowed Diane the freedom of being a human being, treated Diane irresponsibly, and helped in squashing their love. However, Diane, by her actions, had violated the boundary of “self-control” (p.28). If only she had said something like, “If you cannot treat me kindly and as a human being, I will leave the room.” And so, an example of how one spouse can purposely break boundaries and the other inadvertently breaks them. Thus, love is the first ingredient of a marriage, but understanding boundaries in marriage can help keep a marriage intact.…

    The Lady, or the Tiger?

    • 454 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In “The Lady, or the Tiger?” by Frank Stockton, a woman, so distraught at the fact that she is losing her lover, ushers her love toward one of two doors. This door either contains a tiger, which will gruesomely maul him, or a woman who he is forced to take as his bride. The reader is led to believe that the woman points her lover to the door containing a ferocious tiger. A quote which supports the thesis that the princess had sent her lover to his doom is, “How often, in her waking hours and in her dreams, had she started in wild horror, and covered her face with her hands as she thought of her lover opening the door on the other side of which waited the cruel fangs of the tiger!” (Stockton 6). This quote illustrates how the hot-headed and semi-barbaric princess often dreams about sending her love to his doom rather than having to lose him to another girl. The princess thought that if she had lost him, then no one else has the right to have him. Additionally, “But how much oftener had she seen him at the other door! How in her grievous reveries had she gnashed her teeth, and torn her hair, when she saw his start of rapturous delight as he opened the door of the lady! How her soul had burned in agony when she had seen him rush to meet that woman, with her flushing cheek and sparkling eye of triumph” (6). This quote also explains how much agony the princess would have to face if her lover were to open the door with his future wife inside. The princess, through her selfishness, was not willing to see the enlightened look on her lovers face when he saw his future bride exit the door. Furthermore, “Would it not be better for him to die at once, and wait for her to join him in the future?” (7). The princess thought that she could be rejoined in heaven with the young man who she had fallen in love with because she knew that her father would never allow her to be with him again on Earth. She believed in the afterlife and I believe that she thought that he would be happier…
