Same Time Next Year
The movie Same Time Next Year was filmed in 1978 by Robert Mulligan and the actor and actress were Ellen Burstyn and Alan Alda. In this film is where a man and a beautiful woman meet at a romantic inn over dinner by chance. Both people are married to other people, but do find themselves in bed the very next morning and questioning of how this happened. The two individuals do agree afterwards to meet one a year in the morning and even on the same weekend each year. As the years are going by both of them so have some sort of personal issues and which the other person does truly help them out, by even not understanding what is really going on. It is ironic of how these to met at dinner which both are married and do have six children between them. When the couple meet once a year over the next 26 years they do develop an emotional intimacy for

George afterwards does propose to Doris which she does refuse due to the fact that she is happy and that her so called loyalty still remains to her husband Harry even though she is cheating on her husband and agrees to keep on seeing each other once a year only. I do believe that each other would like to have a spontaneous secret relationship and feel that if they do it just once a year than it will be just harmful and not so called cheating but just two people having fun. Their affairs have affected more so for George as his wife did know about it for 10 years but didn’t say much and she had probably felt alone that day even knowing that she had cancer and just wanted to spend more time with her husband, but maybe George thought that it can be a escape for him to be able to get affectionate with someone else if his wife was unable to due to her condition. I do not believe that one should go behind the other persons back and by finding someone else that can provide you a better sex life, but again it does seem like a spontaneous sex adventure to be able to have sex with
In chapter one, George and Lennie are introduced onto the scene and you get to know them a little bit and you get to see how they are related/ their relationship. When I read this first part, I could tell that George was pretty much Lennie’s caretaker and it was his job to find Lennie a job and make sure he ate enough and stayed a live. He kind of resented having to drag Lennie around (pg 11~12: “Well we ain’t got any!” George exploded. “Whatever we ain’t got, you want. If I was alone I could live so easy… But wadda I got? I got you. You can’t keep a job and you loose me every job I get.”), because Lennie’s a bit slow and he messes up a lot. He tries really hard to be good and listen to what George tells him to do, but in the end of every situation, Lennie forgets what George told him beforehand and sometimes it creates a little trouble (pg 45~46: “Well, he seen this girl in this red dress. Dumb like he is, he likes to touch ever’thing he likes. Just wants to feel it. So he reaches out to feel this red dress an’ the girl lets out a squawk, and that gets Lennie all mixed up, and he holds on ‘cause that’s the only thing he can think to do. Well, this girl just squawks and squawks. I was jus’ a little bit off, and I heard all the yellin’, so I comes running, an’ by that time Lennie’s so scared all he can think to do is jus’ hold on. I socked him over the head with a fence picket to make him let go. He was so scairt he couldn’t let go of the dress. And he’s so strong, you know… Well, that girl rabbits in an’ tells the law she’s been raped. The guys in Weed start a party out to lynch Lennie. So we sit in an irrigation ditch under water all the rest of that day.”). But when you look at them, you can tell that George is...
...discovered that Lennie killed his wife, and George didn't want Lennie to suffer. All in all, Lennie and George have a mutualistic relationship because they give each other companionship and protection in Of Mice and Men.
“When Harry Met Sally” depicts the ups and downs of a relationship between and man and a woman over the course of twelve years. These ups and downs are also referred to as the ten interpersonal relationship stages. A couple’s communication throughout their relationship, both positive and negative, determine whether the relationship will be maintained or terminated. Although some couples experience every stage from the beginning to the end of their relationship, many partners, like Harry and Sally, flow back and forth between these stages and sometimes skip a stage completely, making every relationship entirely unique.
In 1777 Martha and George were reunited with each other in Morrison, New Jersey, during the war. “Mrs. Washington is excessive fond of the General and he of her. They are very happy in each other,” was what Nathanael Greene described in a letter to his wife. It also included how it is not very common for a couple be this fond of each other after twenty years of marriage and that George was very affectionate in private.
Since the begging George and Lennie have stayed together, but as they work there are times when they are separated. George docent
Edna and Robert are at the beach enjoying each others company at first. They quickly return to the cottage where Leonce is and he talks to them. They have had a good time down by the water and Leonce, being the proper business like man that he is does not understand why Robert would rather spend his time chatting with his wife than attending to other things. It is obvious to the reader that Edna and Robert have a connection and are amused with what the other has to say. Leonce shrugs this off as nothing and leaves for the hotel where many of the men chat and drink in the evenings. Edna and Robert talk some more and eventually part. These are the first signs of something special between them.
The emotional symbiosis between George and Lennie helps each man. Lennie’s attachment to George is most strongly visible when Crooks suggests George is not coming back. Lennie is almost moved to hysterics and his fear does not quickly abate. George prefers to feign dislike for Lennie to Lennie’s face: “I could get along so easy and so nice if I didn’t have you on my tail” (7). When pressed, George reveals his true feelings for Lennie. “I want you to stay with me Lennie” (13). They stay together because “It’s a lot easier to go around with a guy you know” (35). Both men need and value their strong emotional relationship.
The film I chose to view for this Romantic Comedy paper was When Harry met Sally. I enjoyed this movie. The two main characters were Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally Allbright (Meg Ryan). When first introduced to these characters, Sally is driving to New York, and Harry, who is the boyfriend of Sally's friend, is catching a ride with her.
Their reactions to this betrayal have some similarities and differences. Both husbands reacted simile in the way they tried to keep their wives anyway from the person they were cheating with. After learning about their wives discrepancies both men become more willing to fight for their wives affection. The two of them would do anything necessary to get their wives back. But Tom and George had different methods in separating their wives from that other person who they were cheating with. Tom did so by learning incriminating evidence about Gatsby just to exploit his false persona to Daisy. During his exploitation, Tom, “...picked him for a bootlegger the first time I saw him and wasn’t far wrong.”(133) These facts freighted Daisy and made her believe that she didn’t actually really know of Gatsby was. This lead to Daisy returning to her husband, Tom. Myrtle, his wife, by literally separating her from returning to the other man. He locks her in their upstairs bedroom and began preparing the couple to move west anyway from the man she was having an affair
‘If you don’t want me, you just’ got to say so, and I’ll go off in those hills right there.’” (Stenbeck, 1). This shows true friendship, because the reader can pick out how they are both being virtuous towards each other. Lennie is upset, and wants to leave, so George wants to show how much he cares to keep him around since he enjoys him. They truly care, and do not expect anything from each other, just the care within the bond they have.
In The Great Gatsby, it shows that the men are allowed to cheat with whoever they want, but if a girl was to flirt or find interest in another man, it is a huge deal for the men. Tom is another great example for this because he shows numerous times of jealousy when Daisy shows love for Gatsby, or being hostile towards Myrtle’s husband, Mr. Wilson. On page 25, Tom brings Nick up to meet Myrtle, but they first have to stop at the garage (Where Myrtle stays with her husband) to get Myrtle. Tom doesn’t really care to talk to Wilson, even though he is doing some kind of car work for him, and even threatens to take the car somewhere else when Wilson explains it’s not a fast car. It’s explained in the story that Tom “glanced impatiently around the garage” because he isn’t there to see Wilson, he’s there to see his wife. Another example is towards the very end of the story when Daisy starts getting particularly close to Gatsby. Gatsby knew Daisy before her and Tom got married and have a very strong past. Tom is aware of this, but never met nor knew how close they actually were. When Tom realizes that Daisy is falling for Gatsby again, he gets very unsettled with them being together all the time. Page 103 shows the first sign of Tom getting protective over Daisy when Daisy invites Gatsby to go out with her and Tom. Tom says “Doesn’t he know she doesn’t want him?” and a little later makes an excuse for Gatsby not to go by saying
A gap year is a time for teens to take off between high school and college. A gap year is used to travel, work, volunteer or study. In general, a gap year has many advantages. This year out of a school is a good time for students to explore the world and gain valuable life skills and experience while learning to be independent. Teens in the U.S. should adopt the British custom of taking a gap year between high school and college in order to gain perspective on personal values and career goals as well as gaining needed life experiences without the pressure and expectations of a school environment. A gap year is a time for students to become independent and learn a sense of responsibility before entering into university life.
My first interview was with, Jennifer she is a married 29 year old, with one child. They have been married for five years. The relationship she is in seems to fall right into place with the five stages of interpersonal relationships that are in the book: Contact, involvement, intimacy, deterioration, and repair. The relationship seems to be built on a solid foundation of trust.
According to “Facts About A Gap Year,” the definition of a gap year is “a break typically taken between high school and college that might include travel, work, study, volunteering, or research.” Several colleges encourage their admitted students to take a gap year before starting their freshman year. Done the right way, a gap year can help students excel, while if a student completely puts aside their responsibilities, it can plummet their success in college. Students who take a gap year after high school not only mature, but also are prepared for college and the rest of their lives.
Now that we have explored my past, present, and future experiences with diversity, it is time to see how they are present within and effect each other. Firstly, let’s look into how my future is present in my past. The most obvious portion of my future that is in my past is my willingness and efforts to love and include everyone and to spread this world view. It took a fellow classmate of mine to demonstrate to my third grade self that we are all human beings and we all deserve to be treated as such. In my future, I aspire to demonstrate this world view to my students and inspire them to treat each other accordingly. This aspiration directly reflects my world view struggles I went through in third grade, for I want to help my students come to
