Ok, so I posted this on CACO a while ago. Great help, but the essay needed some work. I did some cropping based on my teacher's feedback. What I have so far, I think is really good. However, I still need 47 more words. Any help???

Interpretation of Love

What is love? Can such a broadly interpreted notion really be defined?

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres”. ―First Corinthians 13:4-8

Love has too many facets to be defined by one simple definition. It often has different meanings for people. The Webster definition of love is “a feeling of strong attachment induced by that which delights or commands admiration.” Love is letting go of the past. It is accepting the person someone is, and not trying to change them. Ignoring faults.

Love is constant, not a fleeting feeling. Those who view love as a whim have never truly experienced it. It does not (or at least should not) come and go at the drop of a hat. Love knows no boundaries. Love is blind and love makes a person blind to the rest of the world. Love is forgiveness. Love is compromising. Love is selflessness, placing the needs of someone else first. Love is comforting and supporting someone in times of hardship when they need it most. Love is giving someone a back rub after they have had a rough day. Love is staying faithful to someone, even when the grass looks greener somewhere else.

True love is not something that happens quickly. “Love at first sight” is not what it seems. It is merely a physical attraction to a person. This physical attraction may lead someone to seek contact with them. People do not truly share love until they get to know eachother. The first inclination of love is usually a vulnerable sprout. Love begins by taking a chance and opening up to someone. It takes time and commitment for love to take root and eventually blossom. Much like a garden, love needs devotion and investment. People with little stake in eachother are easily swayed. Love is fragile, and one wrong move can be devastating to a relationship early on. The connection needs to be nurtured. Later on as trust and a deep relationship develop, love really takes hold, and can weather the fierce storms of life.

Some people love several times in their life. Others less-fortunate never get the chance. “'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.”―William Shakespeare

One definition for love seems two dimensional, when it is such a three dimensional word.

Well, my English teacher emailed me this morning and told me to come see her about my essay.

She basically said it was awful, and gave me a chance to re-do it in the next 24 hours and she'd give me a better grade //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Yesterday was a great day. Today I've got to re-do my English paper and get some zeros for not doing my math homework.

No regrets though, I had a good excuse for not doing my math
