The Subject Tonight is Love

I really like Hafiz's sarcasm and humor in the poem the subject tonight is love. He says how he wants the subject of discussion for that night to be love, as for tommorow as well and then using sarcasm by saying he doesnt feel there is a better subject to talk about until they all die. I like how he puts humor into the poem which gets the reader think and really like the poem.


The Subject Tonight is Love

The subject tonight is Love
And for tomorrow night as well,
As a matter of fact
I know of no better topic
For us to discuss
Until we all
Die!

At This Party

At this party written by Hafiz is a very fun poem to read. he is saying how he doesn't want to be the only one having fun, filling up the bowls but wants the other person to do the same and then eventually invite alot more people to have a real party.

The Happy Virus

"I caught the happy virus last night
When I was out singing beneath the stars.
It is remarkably contagious -
So kiss me."

I really liked this poem because it makes u expand your imagination. If there really was a happy virus we would all want to get it. Since viruses that are bad spread wouldnt it be good if good viruses spreaded? I kind of wish there was a such thing as a happy virus.

Hafiz Poems

Hafiz's poems are written very differently than other poets. His poems about love arent very emotional. He comes his feelings to love to very strange things. He doesnt really show very much deep emotions as do other poets. He uses metaphors to show what his love feels like without actually saying it .

The Love story movie

The movie just like every other movie is different from the book. There were alot of details that were left out like the ending where Oliver hugs his father and cries is left out which is a major turning point in the novel because throughout the whole novel it shows how he is very indifferent towards his father. I also pictured the characters very differently. I pictured Oliver differently with a more muscualr body since he plays hockey and i pictured him better looking. I also pictured his father as more aggressive looking and more bulk and bigger than Oliver. Instead he was shorter than Oliver and older.

Love Story the novel

This story was about a rich boy who falls in love with an italian girl who is poor and doesn't have the same things that he does. He was more as a soft personality and she was different because she was very honest and mean towards him. His parents did not approve of her but he still loved her and married her. She different to him from other girls. He has a very different relationship with his father then she does with her father. He then decides he does not want his fathers money anymore and Jenny then supports him throughout law school and when he finishes they become rich again. Jenny is then diagnosed with cancer and she dies. I thought their love story was very interesting and it was sad how at the end she dies after everything they built up.

You Are My Drunkenness By Nazim Hikmet

You are my drunkenness...
I did not sober up, as if I can do that;
I don't want to anyway.
I have a headache, my knees are full of scars
I am in mud all around
I struggle to walk towards your hesitant light.

This poem is expressing love in an interesting way it is giving us different ways to describe what love feels like. He states how he believes that her love is what makes him feel as if he is "Drunk". He says how he does not want to sober up even if he could. He is saying how feeling drunk in love is a good feeling and how he doesnt want to sober up. He likes the way it makes him weak around her which is a nice way to describe loving someone.
