The Last Posting

I have learned many stories and poems in this class, which I really enjoyed. Because this week is the last week of the course, and we did not have any required reading this week, I am going to write about a work which I liked the most. 

The work that was the most interesting to me was "Say Over Again" by Elizabeth Browning. In this work, the narrator wants her lover to say that he loves her, which is a must for the couple in a relationship. She wants what she needs to hear as a lover, which is not too much at all.

But what was interesting of this poem was that people of Elizabeth Browning's era were exactly the same with people of the present time. Women, including me, in the present time want to hear from their boyfriend/husband that they love her. But usually the guys say, "You know I lover you although I don't say that." I want to say that we never know unless we hear it!

There are some words that it is okay for us to say a lot, maybe too much, like thank you and sorry. You can say those words a lot in your life to show your emotion for someone you love or just anyone else. I believe "I love you" is just one of the words that we can say a lot because the more you say it, the happier your boyfriend/girlfriend becomes.

You can just open your mouth and say three words for your adorable lover, which does not require your energy that much. It is just so simple. But it seems like the history of the dispute between men and women about this topic is quite long as we can see in Browning's poem, "Say Over Again."
