I chose to blog about the movie Free Willy (1993)‚ which is about the relationship between a boy and a young Orca whale.

The love letter is probably almost as old as written civilization itself. Examples from Ancient Egypt range from the most formal - ’the royal widow...Ankhesenamun wrote a letter to the king of the Hittites‚ Egypt’s old enemy‚ begging him to send one of his sons to Egypt to marry her’ - to the down-to-earth: let me ’bathe in thy presence‚ that I may let thee see my beauty in my tunic of finest linen‚ when it is wet’.[2] Imperial China might demand a higher degree of literary skill: when a heroine

Ivy will stay in my imagination“ he laughed lightly. I played dumb looking at his arm where he had a tattoo of the Ivy. He was trying to light up the mood. „You know I had that dream once that we had an intercourse and after we talked about our future. We talked about our kids. You wanted a girl named Ivy.“ He was still holding me and the tears were already ready to fall and I did not care anymore as I was dying. He tattoed a name Ivy below his heart. Not his name‚ not my name‚ not my date of birth

She looked at him closely for a moment...there was something familiar about him after all‚ she decided. But whether it was something real or just a vague sense of deja vu‚ she didn’t know.

Jalissa Goolsby Professor Rhodes English 29 January 14 Fatherless Love The vision of my Fatherless Love have became more and more of a blur to my past childhood memories of not having him there in my life as a young girl.

someone a night terror‚ it sounded as if it were a nuclear warning signal. But my mother knew better. “Stay calm‚ my little Lit. I’m sure this will all end soon.” Said my mom. But it didn’t. It would never end‚ this sound would never let me forget about it. “Ok honey‚ lets head back to our ho—.” An explosion hit the ground‚ cutting off my mom’s voice.

Love is something that means very different things to different people. For some‚ love can be purely romantic‚ or even purely sexual. For others‚ real love is utterly unconditional and only truly exists between family members‚ or between people and a deity. And for some people‚ love is fluid‚ ever changing‚ and everywhere‚ and is felt for family‚ friends‚ partners‚ pets‚ and even inanimate objects‚ dead artists‚ and fictional characters. None of these people would be right or wrong‚ but one thing
