What's love got to do with it

I thought the poem "Sex without Love" was very interesting. I think in today's society the mind set is have sex with whomever you want, and don't worry about the consequences. Sex has lost it's meaning. It is no longer the sacred union between two people who are very much in love. It is who you find attractive for the night. It's more about one person's temporary satisfaction. This poem embodies the way we think about sex today. Having sex without love is not fully satisfying, because the other person only wants satisfaction. To me, sex has Bo meaning without love.

For the love of Reading.

One of my favorite poems that we have read so far in class is "A Study of Reading Habits". It is about a person who loses interest in reading after they realize its no longer an escape to them. I myself am an avid reader. So, when I read this poem I thought to myself how could a person lose interest in reading? I could never lose interest in reading because its my escape from everything. I love losing myself in stories and characters. I think I would not be sane if I didn't read. The words just bring me into a different world.

Story of an Hour

My favorite story that we have read this week was The Story of an Hour. I loved how it was kind of like Romeo and Juliet  in the end when Mrs. Mallard dies of shock by seeing her husband was still alive. She thought she was finally free, but once she saw her husband was still alive she was so confused/surprised. It's kind of like when you are given all this freedom, and  find out later that it was all temporary, and it  is taken away in an instant. Some women can relate to this story, because they may feel opressed by their husbands, fathers, or boyfriends. No one likes it when somebody they love dies, but if it was someone that did not treat them properly they are probably not going to feel as bad. Some people maythink the way Mrs. Mallard reacted when she got the news was inappropriate, but what would you have done if you were put in that situtation?
