I Love to Read

I enjoyed the short story "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love". In the short story "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love", I realized the different types of love that are discussed between the characters in the story. I found the relationships between the characters interesting. Each relationship shows different types of love such as real love and old fashioned love. Terri and her relationship with Ed can be argued as real love because she stayed there when he died. She shows her love by being the only one there to stay with him when he was dying. The other relationship that shows the old fashioned type of love is the old couple. The old couple is mentioned throughout the whole short story and is an example of a stable relationship while the other relationships being discussed are sort of dysfunctional. Time is also another important aspect in the story. It is shown through the gin being drank and the light outside. Once the alcohol is gone, it is dark outside and the story ends.
