Project 2

Draft 1 :: In Relationships You Fall In And Out Of Love


When you truly love someone it is a gift to feel so emotional about that one person. You learn so many things about yourself when your in a relationships. Limits get tested and people get broken but by the end of the day everything is worth it. its is why people stay together for so long and why marriage works. there is also an extrem to it. you learn that you dont love that person and a relationship doesnt work. Thats when you have divorce and breakups, its a part of life.
I believe that when you are in a relationship you need to be one hundred precent in it. Love doesnt work when youo dont give it your all. Loving someone is looking at that person everyday in their eyes and feeling the same way every time you do so. It is a strong feeling that wont just wash away easily it takes time to break away from that person. This is why i find it hard ot believe that you can just fall out of love with that person. When you dont love someone what is the point of staying with them to fall back in love with them. That doesnt make sence to just wait around for the old feelings to come back.

When people fall out of love that is when the breakups and divorces come into play. Now the rate for divorce is higher then ever. Its proven that 1 out of 2 marrage fails and ends in break up. Thats understandable because when all is gone why stay in something you cant give your all into. When you stay you end up fighting and thats not fair to the other peopel who is inlove with you when you are not inlove with them. Its sad to see a happy thing end but then again everything ends for a reason and what is ment to be will be in the end.

I know i am young and talking about love and relationships. I believe that i have a good understanding of what i am talking about it. it is more of just putting it together to make sence

You've chosen a topic that definitely lends itself to inquiry and on which many people have written. I'd like to see you take an approach that is different from that taken for project 1, however. In project 1, you were asked to express your own belief about something in a positive way. In Project 2, you're asked to question a commonly held belief--to "de-mythologize" it by holding it up for scrutiny. I don't think being young rules out any topic, but you need to go beyond stating your own beliefs about love. Of course, everything you write expresses something about yourself. But this perspective should emerge through your analysis and questioning of some belief in the public sphere.

Perhaps this is just an issue of refocusing. You do state that you find it "hard to believe that you can just fall out of love with" a person (although your title suggests you may accept this as true). Where do you see the belief expressed that one can fall out of love with a person? What sort of practices are built around this belief? Why are people who hold this belief mistaken? Why is this not possible, or what do people misunderstand about the process of falling out of love?

This is just one way to turn the focus of your essay outward rather than inward. I look forward to your revision.
