Mel responds by saying he loves them all as pals]]> 2020-11-03 14:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886427891 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886429259 I agree that bickering/frustrated love is a real form of love.
Mel and Terri's back and forth about their ideas of love is a prime example of frustrated love]]> 2020-11-03 14:50:03 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886429259 jordandecker3 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886431721 I agree with when Mel said, “Physical love, that impulse that drives you to someone special, as well as love of the other person’s being his or her essence, as it were.” because love is more than just liking someone it is wanting them their throughout your life.]]> 2020-11-03 14:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886431721 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886432691 Terri makes the stance that love can be expressed in different ways, in ways that may seem "crazy" to someone else. Outside of the context of her story, I agree with this. Love languages are vast and people have different ways of showing their affection. ]]> 2020-11-03 14:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886432691 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886434416 the old man couldnt feel better because he couldnt turn his head to see his wife he knew she was there with him but she felt far because he couldnt acknowledge her presence. ]]> 2020-11-03 14:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886434416 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886435552 In the short story, I truly resonated a lot with what Terri was suggesting around the controversial topic that is love. What I particularly agreed with the most was what love is. Terri clearly goes through a variety as to how love is to be expressed, given that she has had two husbands, "Terri said the man she lived with before she lived with Mel loved her so much he tried to kill her." So when she believes that the kind of torment that she goes through is a type of love, I agree with her on that part, "He beat me up one night...But he love me, in his own way maybe..." the reason why I believe her in that sense is because The man she used to live with clearly loved her, but the way of expressing himself towards her is not a usual way of showing to the public eye, that is a way of loving. Many people who hear these kind of works such as beating up someone tend not to tie that physically interaction as a defining of love but rather pure brutalness. However, what Terri proves in this part is that people are different, "People are different, Mel." ]]> 2020-11-03 14:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886435552 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886436310 I disagree that abusive love is a form of love. Abuse and love cannot and should not be associated in any manner. Abuse is a point where love died out ages ago

She says that love can be expressed in different ways, and while I agree with that, abuse is not love. There is no way to look at it and be able to justify it; abuse is not love and it will never be love. ]]> 2020-11-03 14:52:02 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886436616 jordandecker3 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886439016 I don't think Terri is correct in her saying that her abusive relationship was a form of love. She disagrees with Mel and says that "I know it was" and "it may sound crazy" But in my opinion, for it to be love, both parties need to be safe and comfortable. Love isn't one sided.]]> 2020-11-03 14:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886439016 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886440375 I disagree that abusive love is love, though i understand how someone who was in an abusive relationship can think that it is love]]> 2020-11-03 14:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886440375 heatherfalk1 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886443265 Nick says "In addition to being in love, we like each other and enjoy each other's company. She's easy to be with," about Laura. I agree with this, because even if you have love between you, you really need to enjoy being with each other to work. Sometimes just love isn't enough.]]> 2020-11-03 14:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886443265 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886444243 2020-11-03 14:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886444243 sarahtoomey1 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886449836 I disagree with people telling Terri that her thoughts on love are incorrect. Although she was abused, which I do not think is right at all, she feels as though he did love her. I think to her it was a different version because she now loves Mel and feel s the safe kind of love]]> 2020-11-03 14:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886449836 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886449858 When Mel was talking about how he knew he loved his former wife and how Terri was talking about how she knew she loved her former husband, I agree with the idea that that is possible. Love can fade and reappear over time it depends on if the relationship is working out and you're happy and being taken care of or not.

She says her ex-husband "loved her so much he tried to kill her." He may have had some sort of strong emotion towards her, but I don't think it's love without that safety and respect.]]> 2020-11-03 14:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886450818 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886452595 terris ex husband would harm her and threaten mel when she started dating mel because that was how he showed love but love shouldnt be physically painful ever it should barley be emotionally painful]]> 2020-11-03 14:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886452595 wolfemitchell1 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886457651 I like Terri's idea that love is being needed. She feels like Ed needed her to be happy.
However, I don't like that that necessity overtakes everything else. Even if she was needed, she shouldn't have had to endure that. And he didn't need someone to love, he needed someone other than himself to practice incredible violence on, which is not love.]]> 2020-11-03 14:57:42 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886457651 https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886476850 I think that what Ed did was selfish because he couldn't stand seeing her with someone else. In order to love, you need to care and nurture a person. "Mel said. 'I don't know what you'd call it but I sure know you wouldn't call it love.'"]]> 2020-11-03 15:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/awood170/29050l184iwlld60/wish/886476850
