By definition this word is defined as an "intense feeling of deep affection."

The author uses this word throughout the entire text and describes the ways love should and should not be seen. For example in the text it states "To truly love we must learn to mix various ingredients- care, affection, recognition, respect, commitment, and trust, as well as honest and open communication." This describes how love should be seen. In the text the author describes that abuse and neglect cannot coexist with love and proves that love is not true when there is abuse and neglect.

This image depicts what looks like a grandmother and her granddaughter showing great care and affection for one another. This image demonstrates and proves that love does not have to be a sexual attraction between two people, as stated in the text.

"No definition ever appears in her book that would help anyone in trying to learn the art of loving."

This supporting Detail supports the thesis statement because it proves and demonstrates a reason why nobody has an equal definition of love. No real definition commonly appears in books about Love in which they could educate the population to have an equal understanding of what love truly is, and because nobody has that equal definition the act of love is so mystifying to them.

The image supports this because it demonstrates a person who is being abused and emotionally neglected but it still trying to put on a happy face because they are supposed to feel "Loved"

The thesis sentence is "Our confusion about what we mean when we use the word "love" is the source of our difficulty in loving."

The actual thesis sentence is "if our society had a commonly held understanding of the meaning of love, the act of loving would not be so mystifying."

This word by definition means "not operating normally or properly."

The author uses this word to describe and define what is feels like to live in a family or area where you are constantly shamed, neglected, and abused but still admired and told you are loved. This creates an awful demonstration and meaning of love for the person which is a reason why most people don't have an equal understanding of the true meaning of love.

This image depicts someone who has most likely been emotionally neglected and does not feel loved. He most likely comes from a dysfunctional family and a dysfunctional area surrounding him.

The author in this piece works to educate the reader about the true meaning of love and that love should be demonstrated a certain way. She does this in a very informative and educational tone for her narration. For example, in the text it states "Abuse and neglect are, by definition, the opposites of nurturance and care." The one here is demonstrated because it is very knowledgeable in which the author uses this to educate the reader and inform them in the same way.

This image depicts an educator, someone who knows more than the students trying to learn. This is a reference and comparison to the author and reader in all about Love. The author being the teacher and the readers being the students.

The image demonstrates a person who has been abused but is still told that they are loved. Proving that love and abuse can not coexist in the dysfunctional families.

Love between the two lovers and hate between the families.

Death and life

In the text, It states "And the continuance of their parents’ rage,

Which, but their children’s end, naught could remove,"

This evidence proves that the distinct difference and comparison evident in the text where their parents rage could be ended with the end of the love between Romeo and Juliet.

The reason I chose these two characters is because they best support my theme of "Nothing can change the fate of anyone."

Tybalt is frustrated and is filled with anger at the sight of seeing Juliet love another man, and tries to change the love of Romeo for Juliet by killing Romeo, but is stopped.

Lady Capulet, Juliets mother, tries to decide for Juliet who she is to get married with and that she should learn to love this man because of his status with another kingdom, but Juliet and Romeo meet at the ball and fall in love with each other.

In the texts Price of Freedom, All About Love, and Romeo and Juliet, all of the characters face moral and ethical dilemmas of some sort that would try and stop their pursuit of love.

For example, in Price of Freedom, it states " The mission was successful, but he didn’t return. And I was left with a little cameo of a perfect love. Perfect, perhaps, because it had been so brief."

The dilemma faced by the author is the tragedy of a death in war that would end their ability to love one another.

In the text Romeo and Juliet, the dilemma that they face is their culture and their parents. Juliet is expected to marry someone who has a strong royal status, but falls in love with Romeo who is not, which causes conflict between them.

The dilemma that the author of All about Love was faced with was abuse and neglection, shes states that this can not coexist with love.

The use of literary devices in the work of Romeo and Juliet is the use of metaphors by Romeo to describe his strong love for Rosaline, and then uses the same literary devices to describe Juliet and his love for her.As well as, in Price of freedom the author uses metaphors and imagery to compare the love for the man. In the text, "Price of Freedom" it states " And it was as if a magnet drew us irresistibly towards each other." She as well uses imagery as stated in the text "Our eyes locked across a crowded room." Uses descriptive details like crowded room to provide a image for the reader.

The evolution of love from infatuation to deep love in Romeo and Juliet is very quick. Romeo is infatuated at the sight of Juliet, but quickly realizes he is in deep love with her when he starts to get to know her and dance with her, while in All about Love, the development of infatuation to deep love is built up throughout the text as the author continues to work at true meaning of love and what that looks like. The author of this starts off the text with details such as "We use love in such a sloppy way that It can mean almost nothing or absolutely everything." The author analyzes infatuation compared to deep love how infatuation can mean almost nothing while deep love can be absolutely everything.
