As Janie sees “a dust-bearing bee sink into the sanctum of a bloom”, she witnesses the “thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to tiniest branch creaming in every blossom.” (Hurston 11) To her, this is deemed “marriage” ; it is a merger of two, a union of matrimony and she aims to fully grasp such a sensation. Taken back by the thrill of it all, Janie manages to formulate her own perceptions of what true love must be like; raw and passionate within the moment, like the bees and pear blossoms. Elated at most, she then shares a brief moment with neighborhood-friendly, Johnny Taylor, a young man who she begins to develop sexual feelings for.
In particular, Corso’s structure, examples that encourage tone, and theme can help us understand Updike’s story in a clearer way. Corso organizes his thoughts in a similar way throughout the entirety of the poem. While the author clearly depicts the features of a marriage, acknowledging both the positive and negative aspects, he does not fail to include how these features contribute to the experience of a committed relationship.

For example, Corso begins his stanza by reflecting, “Grocery store Blue Cross Gas & Electric Knights of Columbus / Impossible to lie back and dream
Many people have different opinions on life - some consider it a great gift meanwhile others consider it a suffering.

Philip subsequently decided to send 200-twenty-one page booklets to his friends as a Christmas card, catching the attention of RKO Pictures producer David Hempstead.
