in reading both sonnet 116 and sonnet 29 by Shakespeare amd Live In place By Nikki Giovanni my mind struggled to draw a link, "surely" i thought to myself Mrs Speigel hasnt given me two works to read that have barley a link to each other. Then i sat back and i thought welll they have the theme of love but both are completely different, Nikki is talking about seeing herself as beautiful as the person who loves her, for in the eyes of the person who loves us we are perfect in every sense of the word. But Shakespeare...ah yes then i saw the link nikki is talking about being seen through someone elses eyes, while shakespeare is talkign about doing the seeing.
""What i mostly see is me, through your eyes am i am still young smlim and very much commited to the love we still have" (Love In place) as you can see she says it directly i wasnt struggling to draw this conclusion that she was being seen through her lovers eyes.

Love Tales
In this reading response we had three seperate works to read. All of them as you might have guessed been about love. The First one we read was "Take me as I am, Who ever Iam" The Second "Maturity was just to Messy for me" and the last one was "Cat in the Rain"
Each piece has its own story, its own plot and are completely seperate from each other. "Take me as I am, Who ever I am" her story was how she is bipolar and it was severe! and she could never find love because with the example she gave in her piece, she was happy go lucky, got a hit when she threw out her line to catch a guy, get a date lined up for him, and then she would sink into a deep depression. After the second time of this happening she lost the guy. she was "two people" One happy one not so. In the end she does find a pill that puts her in the middle of both her personalities.
In "Maturity" he finds a older woman who he very much finds attractive, but he is so very young in comparison. Until he gets freaked out because she gets very drunk and very ill, and he has to take her home and take care of her, and the entire time he is takign care of her he is thinking, "Mums dont do this, lawyers definatly dont do this" And so he does the highschool thing and doesnt call her which he states doesnt work. But he becomes childish. But in the end he moves away and grows up, he stays in contact with the older woman and they talk still and have a very unique relationship
In "Cat in the Rain" They are i believe in a different country, and in a different time, because of the way the husband behaves around his wife. But the Wife sees a cat out in the rain, hense its name, and she goes to get it, but its gone by the time she gets outside. She comes back to her room in the hotel, and is pouting about how she wants fun, to grow her hair out and so on, but if i cant have that, she says, i atleast want a cat. then there comes a knock on the door and a maid walks in carrying the cat and says "Excuse me, the padrone asked me to bring this for the signora" Now i dont quiet understand what she says but i THINK she is saying is that the husband asked them to go catch the cat while his wife was on her way downstairs to try and catch it.
All these Stories are all very different, they have love in them in all sorts of different ways, the first book is the lack of love and how much she wants it the second is how he has it but its freaking him out and the third is a married couple and a husband giving his wife that he loves a surprise. BUt all of these stories have a happy ending, most dont have a happy middle part, the first she is bipolar and falls into deep depressions where she stays in bed and isnt happy at all, the guy in the second story gets childish after he freaks out over having to take care of a mother who is a lawyer who by his thinking SHOULDNT be getting worried and trashed. But they all have by the conclusion of the story, worked out the issue and MOVED ON, and grown from the experience.
I think that the mession from these stories is, you learn, you over come and you move on and you are better for it
