Sir Robert Heath was given a grant by King Charles I to settle in an area which is today the Carolinas. Sir Robert heath never did accomplish this goal.

“Sarah Cole: A Type of Love Story” is the tale of a young, handsome man who has an affair with, and ends up falling for, “the homeliest woman he has ever seen” but refuses to admit to others and himself that he loves her. The story seems to fit in any day and age, as well as any setting. From the moment we read the title, we know that the story is the tale of a dysfunctional romantic relationship, and the ensuing story does not disappoint. The main character, who is also the narrator, takes us on a journey to ten years prior, when he became involved with a woman named Sarah Cole. It is through the interchanging of first person and third person narration that we realize the reason behind Ron and Sarah’s failed relationship: vanity, shame, and insecurity.

A couple is breaking up, a marriage is divorcing, or a child is living with only one parent because the other one shirked responsibility. These botched relationships from reality are described through books, such as Candide. Voltaire, the author of Candide, wrote about the multiple misfortunes and unfulfilled responsibilities of several intricate characters (Pattern 11). The protagonist, Candide, begins as an innocent and naïve character but transforms into a pessimist and failure. His tragic life drastically changes from love to greed, innocence to experience, and from hope to despair through the corruptions of money, love, and beliefs.
In that moment Q knew he had been in love with a girl he did not really know and has to let go of her before he even can find out who she really is. This novel is full of optimism. The mood is very lighthearted and adventurous, yet has a slightly serious tone.

I strongly recommend that you read the book Paper Towns by John Green. I enjoyed this book even more than the book I read with my book club. The book has an interesting plot line, and the author weaves in multiple sub-conflicts throughout the story. As I read the book I notice the author’s wide vocabulary. Some examples of words used in the book are “Condescending” “Empathy” “Evanescent” and “Tenacious”.
The 2003 version of Our Town is the best representation in regards to Thornton Wilder’s main purpose in writing the play. The main purpose is to give a representation to the living on how they are missing out on what life really has to offer. There are so many pertinent parts of a play that are needed to help convey the author’s purpose of writing the play. These aspects are: language, set design, staging, lighting, and sound effects. Although there are many more, these are the most important, in my opinion.

How have the authors of Pride and Prejudice & 10 Things I Hate About You shown their central characters’ journeys into an understanding of themselves and their relationships? The need to be loved and be beloved is one of the central drives of the human condition; it is what propels many of the daily actions that people make. Even the supremely hardened people have this basic human desire. Though this reciprocal attraction and interest seems to be abundant, it is, in frequent cases, difficult to acquire.
