Megan and I are reading First Love:Just Once in a Lifetime:A Memoir by: Violeta Barrett. Through this book, we realized that love, no matter what form it takes, is extremely powerful. In our memoir, Violeta, a Wall Street investor, takes a once in a lifetime trip to Mexico to relieve the stress of her job and recent divorce. In Mexico, Violeta meets her handsome tour guide, Jorge, and they start a romance whilst in Mexico. As they visit all of the incredible sights, they grow close and Violeta learns about the cultures of the different places they visit. After Violeta has to leave, they continue their romance with love letters.
Love is powerful. This message is one that many people are familiar with, whether they are talking about a romantic love, a sibling love, a mother to her child love. It is seen again and again in all types of ways. Our book shows this in Violeta's and Jorge's relationship that even though they are miles and miles apart, they still are in love and show that love through their letters. The article talks about how having and giving love is just as important as receiving oxygen, that we need it in order to survive. This image is showing how love and power are interconnected.
Yes, I agree that love can be powerful, in the memoir that I was reading (Chinese Cinderella) the main character is Adeline a young Chinese school girl who is given no love from her family. She is devastated because no one would show any love for her. And finally when her father at the very end of the chapter showed a hint of care towars her,her courage gained and put faith in herself for the little love that her father had for her, even if it was just a little. That I felt really made a good connection to how love is powerful.
