Love

Love

Love is a beautiful thing. Love is a flourishing rose in a dead garden, it intertwines souls, and warms hearts in a difficult and hard world. Devotion and admiration are terrible things, for it splits families, and ruins confidence and hope. Adoration is fragile and should be treated with great care.
Love is an indescribable concept, for it changes from everyone’s view of life. Because someone has a pessimistic outlook on life they may view it as a temporary comfort that will not last, but another person with a brighter and more upbeat tempo may look upon love as a beautiful thing that given time will flourish and last an eternity. The problem then is for the person who looks on life as a glass half full, for he may see it as a futile prospect and not truly devote himself to his spouse thus causing a divorce or falling out. The happier person may fully give his all to his wife and lead a joyous life.
If the person who has a unenthusiastic outlook on life gets into marriage it may lead to a very troubling and tragic concept, divorce. Divorce is a no win situation, for it splits apart two people and families, but it has a even more troubling effect on children especially if one of the parents moves away to a different state or town and doesn’t get to see the child frequently. For instance, if a parent moves away and remarries, the kid may feel the need to have a bias against the new step parent, or perhaps the adolescent just isn’t compatible with the step parent, but the parent analyzes that as the setback.
Love is in its many different aspects in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, an instance of this would be when Johnny Nolan falls in love with Katie Rommely instead of his current girlfriend Hildy O’Dair in a scene like a classic love movie. Johnny displays affection for a peer, although he also exhibits a different kind of love, love for alcohol, as well as singing and dancing, and is slowly knocking on death’s door with his alcohol. In fact Johnny goes so far as to acting drunk when he is in fact, not intoxicated. Francie, Johnny’s daughter, is looked upon as quiet, reflective soul who has a love of literature and is therefore more mature than one should be at her age. Francie’s aunt Sissy causes infatuation among fellow pedestrians when she marches out on the street.
Love definitely controls lives. It dictates how people talk, act, and feel around and towards others. Because of this love must. be treated delicately, and this is why it is treated as a taboo, nor should it be ignored, for it can be a dagger to the heart who deal with its bad side, but on the other hand it can be the beginning of a new vast and grand chapter to someone’s life.
