Lost in Love
Love is an emotion shared among humanity. Humans become emotional when they are denied love. Love helps individuals function and without it, humans would not be able to deal with their emotions. An individual’s personality is destroyed in a relationship where there is a lack of love. A lack of love in a relationship destroys an individual’s personality by generating anger, which coherently leads to rebellion, resulting in the individual to become desperate.
A shortage of love in relationships destroys an individual’s personality by generating anger. The state of feeling angry is not healthy while in a relationship, as it alters the individual’s disposition. The individual will feel hatred toward the other or their self while feeling angry. The poem My Wicked Wicked Ways demonstrates how a lack of love destroys a wife’s personality when the speaker states, The woman, my father knows, is not here/My mother will get very mad/Her face will turn red/and she will throw one shoe (Cisneros 185). The husband is being unfaithful to his wife, which provokes the wife to become very mad. The wife expresses herself in anger after finding out her husband is no longer utterly in love with her. The quote is relevant to the claim as it shows how the

husband’s cheating caused the wife’s disposition to change towards him and lead to a shoe being thrown at him. A shortage of love in a relationship will cause even the strongest of individuals to feel emotional. Rebellion is influenced by the lack of love received in a relationship, resulting in damage to an individual’s personality.
When an individual is not given the amount of love desired it sends the individual on a rebellious path. The poem Behind Grandma’s House illustrates a child being rebellious when the child kicks over trash cans/flicked rocks at cats/kicked fences/shooed pigeons/frightened ants with a stream of piss (Soto 193). The child was not receiving enough attention from the grandmother, so the child acted obnoxiously. If the grandmother had shown the child more attention, then the child would not act unpleasant because the child would feel loved. Children who are not showed love is prone to become
rebellious. The absence of love in a relationship results in the individual becoming desperate. Denying an individual love provokes questionable behavior from the individual. Questionable behavior is portrayed in the poem Snake Oil, Snake Bite when the author writes, “but just as soon as the women kissed redness back into his cheeks/the boy began to die again/He continued to die for the rest of his life (Ahmed 915). The boy in the poem was bitten by a snake and the venom killed him, but God made the boy breathe again (Ahmed 915). The boy is extremely desperate for love that he is willing to risk the gift God bestowed upon him. The woman acts as a snake and her love for the boy is venomous. Risking a chance of life to stay in a toxic relationship is an example of questionable behavior. The boy would rather receive poisonous love then no love at all, which proves he is desperate. God teaches individual’s that they must learn to love their self before the individual can love someone else. An individual’s personality is destroyed in a relationship where there is a lack of love. Humans need love to function, otherwise, a lack of love will generate anger, which leads to rebellion, resulting in the individual becoming desperate. Individuals will put up with any situation just to feel loved. Examples include adultery, a cry for attention, or staying in a poisonous relationship. Love should not affect your personality. If individuals stay true to their self and do not let others affect their emotions, then they will find true love with someone who shares a similar personality.

love in the context of being a device that is used to protect and to care for people
...ause of their own free will. The theme of love is widely portrayed in the world. Love matters because it is what ties two people together through commitment and pain. However, there are those who pervert the idea of love and treat it as if it is filled with lust and pleasure-seeking opportunities. In society, young and reckless people “go out” with each other because they are desperate for excitement in their lives. Those who “go out” fail to realize that they shouldn’t be so committed to one another. Therefore, it is a waste of time at such a young age. Those who do should be paying attention to reality instead of their own fantasy. If adolescent people have love, it is only a hindrance from being who they want to be. In conclusion, love influences people to behave irrationally and to take chances that would otherwise seem irresponsible in the eyes of the mature.
For instance, love as a weapon of power relates to the notion that a person can distort the sentiments and mentality of another person by means of altering the amount of happiness they experience in regards to love. For many, finding love means finding true happiness and a sense of emotional stability and accomplishment. In the Sapphic poem, “Deathless Aphrodite”, Sappho experiences emotional instability once more as this is not the first time she is faced with rejection. Sappho has suffered and called out for help many a time given that she’s unable to
In the poem “My World” by SomeRandomPerson, we go through the life of a child of two parents who undergo a divorce. We see the many events that this child goes through and the various emotions that the child is feeling as their life continues and they grow older. SomeRandomPerson uses different metaphors, similes, and imagery to portray that life will twist and turn in opposite directions, but it doesn’t always work out in the end. The use of a metaphor is used by SomeRandomPerson to convey that at this point they cannot see the true meaning to their life. There is a mood of doubt and denial in the poem as if nothing is going right in the author’s world and it just keeps tumbling downhill.
Love is said to be one of the most desired things in life. People long for it, search for it, and crave it. It can come in the form of partners, friends, or just simply family. To some, love is something of a necessity in life, where some would rather turn a cold shoulder to it. Love can be the mixture of passion, need, lust, loyalty, and blood. Love can be extraordinary and breathtaking. Love being held so high can also be dangerous. Love can drive people to numerous mad things with it dangerously so full of craze and passion.
Love is a powerful force, grabbing one and making him or her do drastic acts
Love is arguably the most powerful emotion possessed by mankind; it is the impalpable bond that allows individuals to connect and understand one another. Pure love is directly related to divinity. Without love, happiness and prosperity become unreachable goals. An individual that possesses all the desired superficial objects in the world stands alone without the presence of love. For centuries love has been marveled by all that dare encounter it. Countless books and poems have been transcribed to explain the phenomenon of love, but love surpasses all intellectual explanations and discussions. Love is not a definition, but rather a thought, an idea. This idea, the idea of love, burns inside us all. Instinctually, every soul on Earth is
The author restates the title of the poem in the first line of the poem. In line 1,"my mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun" (1) the author right off the bat makes it known to the reader that the mistress is just an average woman, nothing too fancy. Her eyes do not glisten like the sun, the poet feels as if there is no resemblance between them. In line 2, “ Coral is far more red than her lips’ red” (2). The speaker, then, links the mistress’ lips to coral, a beautiful pinkish red complexion. Even though the speaker does not describe her lips into great detail, it makes the reader think that the mistress’ lips are nothing unique, just like her eyes. In line 3, “ If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun” (3). He goes on to illustrate
Love is one of the most powerful forces in our universe. It is the one thing, that we hold on to when there is nothing there. Yet love can also be destructive force. Something that can destroy all our dreams and inspirations. Destructive love will drive people to revenge, insanity and even murder.
Love is the ubiquitous force that drives all people in life. If people did not want, give, or receive love, they would never experience life because it is the force that completes a person. People rely on this seemingly absent force although it is ever-present. Elizabeth Barrett Browning is an influential poet who describes the necessity of love in her poems from her book Sonnets from the Portuguese. She writes about love based on her relationship with her husband. Her life is dependent on him, and she expresses this same reliance of love in her poetry. She uses literary devices to strengthen her argument for the necessity of love. The necessity of love is a major theme in Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “Sonnet 14,” “Sonnet 43,” and “Sonnet 29.”
Love is the basis of every day life, and it gives us the power to feel so affectionately
