Although Romeo and Juliet may be a great tale of two unlikely lovers‚ it could never compare to Our Christian Story. However‚ throughout these two renowned stories‚ elements of love and sacrifice can be demonstrated frequently. Out of love‚ we are able to make sacrifices for those whom which we hold dear to our hearts; when humanity betrayed God by consuming fruit from the forbidden

Categorizing love? The threshold to the infinite definition of love is many. Although many cynics like me‚ may have thought it impossible‚ sociologists over the past several decades have been attempting to categorize and quantify the notion of love. Sternberg in 1986 sees love in terms of the interaction among three independent aspects: passion‚ intimacy (two components of love that many of us need no help in identifying or do I dare say practicing?) and the “C” word that sends many of us rushing

In the poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot‚ I found it easy to relate to the author’s feelings of inadequacy. The narrator was constantly bringing up other famous artists and comparing himself to them‚ only to inevitably fall short of his own expectations.

The narrator brings up the famous and very talented artist Michelangelo‚ who is still talked about by the women
