5. About the close reading
There is no doubt that this text is a prose.
A prose of love, the overused word whose
power has been diluted by long time of
misuse.
What’s love? what’s the true meaning of
love? Are you confused about this word
like the author?
In my opinion, love has nothing to do with
what you are expecting to get, only with what
you are expecting to give.
6. different people have different opinions on love, but the
dictionary definition of love states that it is a profoundly
tender, passionate affection for another person or a feeling
of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a
parent, child, or friend.
love is something personal, and there's no right or
wrong way to describe it.
In general, love is a positive feeling. we need love.
Like the author said: love can never be completely
defined; ultimately the only definition that is you own.
So, try you best to gain the love, it enlivens all the
living beings; we cannot live without it .
7. Key Sentences
1. I can say for sure,however ,that love is not
logical. The goal in the pursuit of logic is
absolute truth and even perfection,neither of
which is compatible with love.
2. Love has nothing to do with what you are
expecting to get----only with what you are
expecting to give----which is everything.
8. 3. Perhaps a more refined definition would be
that "love" is wanting( but not needing) the other
person in your life for always, because ideally I
want to be a much better person for having
known him.
Questions for you to discuss:
1. Everyone in this world has to be
independent for living.
9. One definition states that if you truly love
someone, you find you simply cannot live without
them. So can we just love someone
independently? Will we lose our indenpendce if
we get into love someone?
2.Through this text about love, what is love in
your own opinion? Discuss this question by
linking to our own life experience.
3. As we know, LOVE is a very sophisticated
affection that we cannot avoid being exposed to it
in our daily lives .Just think about in such a
material and real society, is there true love in the
bottom of people's hearts? why do most people
always focus on material things?
10. 4.Most men have a common idea that most girls
love cars, diamonds,luxury things,like brand
name bags,etc. Just in a rational angle, why do
they have this such ridiculous thoughts? And
what's your own view of this point?
