Summary Of Quotes From 'Of Course I Love Elyse'
JOURNAL #3
Quote #1
“Of course, I love Elyse. How can I not? We are inextricably linked and love between us is an irrefutable fact. But, along with love comes overwhelming sense of responsibility. When we reunited, I instantly became the closest person to Elyse in the world. I worry that she expects me to fill the gap in her life. I am the 'heartbeat she has always missed' and I am bound tet her down.” (Schein, Paula Bernstein 94).
(A) In this chapter Paula is explaining how the shocking news of being a twin and meeting them is a life changing event. After this quote she goes on to say what her life would have been like if her and Elyse were realized together, and how she relishes how much time the have missed out on.

    Lady Macbeth Quote Analysis

    "Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it (Act 1, Scene 5, Page 3)." This quote was said by Lady Macbeth and I found it interesting because, this quote is actually being compared to Lady Macbeth instead of Macbeth. The flower is being compared to her by how she treated other people. For example, when the king came to her house/castle, she actually treated him well. Also she was being compared to the serpent because, she actually want to kill the king. So the quote is saying that Lady Macbeth is nice and kind on the outside, but evil on the inside.…

    My Antonia Quote Analysis

    When thinking of how Jim defines happiness, I think that Antonia would disagree with this quote,”…to be dissolved into something complete and great, When it comes to one, it comes as naturally as sleep.” Throughout the book Antonia is ready to do everything right then at that time, and she doesn’t have the patience to wait on the good things to happen. Antonia is always ready to work and learn something new, but she lacks the patience to learn and to make sure she does it the right way. What Jim was saying is that, happiness comes at the right time, and that you cannot try to force it. The quote, “and I did not want to be anything more. I was entirely happy.” “Jim was glad that he felt like this in the hard times.” Also, another quote to…

    Mat English Essay on George Sand

    In George Sand’s Marianne, Sand uses her development of the three primary characters to bring together two unlikely soul mates, and at the same time separate the two most likely paired of the three figures. Her primary characters, Marianne, Pierre, and Philippe, and their make-up play an intricate role in the story. More than just playing a key role though, their make-up leads the story in a direction that is propelled by the unique personalities each hold. The drive that each strong personality contributes to Sand’s Marianne, and their unique temperaments, brings the reader into a different sort of love story as opposed to what would be expected of a typical love story. Sand, with her characters, leads the story to a place where however unlikely it winds up, it couldn’t possibly have ended any other way than it does.…

    Chloe Response Essay

    In the abstract short story “Love and Other Catastrophes: A Mix Tape” by Amanda Brown, the reader orates a long list of hit love songs from the eighty’s and ninety’s. In the short story there is no imagery, similes, metaphors, allusions, or foreshadowing. However there is a particular irony with Browns’ writing style- it begins and ends with the same song. “‘All By Myself’ (Eric Carmen)” (1) and (27). Despite if Browns’ short story is a reflection of her personal love life or just her outlook on love, it is an unusual and interesting piece of literature about everyone’s favorite subject- love and tragedy.…

    Until They Bring the Streetcars Back

    What is love? Often enough, as a hormone-struck teenager, I am lectured on what love is not. According to my mother, father, grandmother, aunts, uncles, and every adult figure that has ever made a guest-star appearance in the long-winded romance novel that is my life, love is NOT the warm cuddly feeling I get when I see a cute boy at school. Love is NOT holding hands on the playground; is not caring an abnormal amount for a favorite pair of shoes. I feel as though a vast amount of time is spent describing the negative space of a person’s heart, and not long enough spent defining its shape. Although Pastor Ostrum follows suit with his anti-definition of what love is not, he definitely strikes a chord in my heart when he says that “love is not something we wait to have happen to us, but something we do.” Many might disagree, might argue that love is a two-way street; that in order to give we must first receive. However, in the novel “Until They Bring the Streetcars Back,” by Stanley Gordon West, Cal Gant demonstrates this principle of giving time and time again.…

    A Secret Sorrow

    Karen Van Der Zee “A Secret Sorrow uses, Characterization, Tone and Irony to show that love is powerful and will heal any hurt. Anyone can say that what you hope for always doesn’t come to past, and then you may lose hope of it ever happening. It is possible to give up and live in despair or even defeat. This is very similar to Karen Van Der Zee, the writer of “A Secret Sorrow portrays in her story. Karen uses the characterization, tone, and irony to show how love is more than a feeling.…
