    Ashes By Susan Pfeffer

    Susan Pfeffer’s story “Ashes” teaches a lesson about how trust is decided on past, not relationships.

Ashes was a nickname her father gave her, which her mother hates. Ashes, says that her father hardly ever keeps a promise, such as when she was a kid, he told her that the stars were her necklace. One lesson the story suggests is that parent-child relationships can quickly change, depending on the choices they make.…

These images are then presented as a precondition to the happiness that human beings are searching for. When a person’s reality does not match this narrow image, the message sent through television and advertisements is that in order to be content people need to find a way to acquire it. As a result we live in a society where people are continuously longing for a happiness that can only be achieved through things that are fleeting and external, which creates feelings of discontentment…

    Love 2.0 By Barbara Fredrickson

    In today’s society when we hear the word “freedom”, we primarily relate it with national freedom. The United States Constitution sheds light on most of our primary freedoms. With the prioritization of all these other kinds of freedoms, the idea of sexual freedom is oftentimes neglected. Leslie Bell, in her “Hard to Get” mentions the word “freedom” quite vaguely and frequently. This is important because sexual freedom in today’s society is confined in a structure of norms set by the society on how women should talk, act, behave, etc.…

    Lust by Susan Minot

    Lust is having a self-indulgent sexual desire. Susan Minot portrayed the mind of a promiscuous high school female perfectly. Lust is powerful and seductive, but it's inherently selfish and opposed to love. For many girls who are having sex with different boys they can identify with the desire to be needed. The characters in "Lust" are written in a way to highlight the dysfunction and disconnection of everyone involved. The narrator herself is nameless and faceless, making the reader believe that she has already somehow disappeared, just as the men in her life have made her disappear after having sex. Similarly, the men are listed in a brief and are identified only by their sexual acts or by other, easily objectified characteristics. What makes the story sad is the girl knows she is basically nothing. Many people who have casual sex start to feel this way, there is usually something missing in their lives. While reading the story I kept asking myself "where are her parents" after realizing that she is in boarding school things suddenly became clear.…
