.... Their mission was simply to expand their territory while infecting the globe with the words of a pathogenic messiah. If in the process it was necessary to "swat a few flies" then so be it in the name of Christ. Nevertheless, their unforgettable actions can never compare to the atrocities of America. In the tradition of the great mother country, America continued its importation of Africans.

.... over the other creatures of this earth, it seems that we must resort to the most primal method of physical dominance in order to overcome our enemies of the same species. Is this truly necessary? Do we really need to fight one another? I believe that the unfortunate answer to this question is yes; violent conflict is essential for humans as they are now. I base this conclusion on the instincts ingrained in every person's DNA, the integral role of violent struggle in the process of progress, and the inefficiency of other methods of resolution. The most basic aspect of lif .....

.... a mother almost to them. When the tinkerer comes to her home and into her garden he shows interest in her chrysanthemums. She takes this also as an interest in her as well. The garden in other words is a symbol for her femininity and womanhood. The chrysanthemums are also seen as a symbol for her heart. Her existence seemed drab, dull and inevitable. She wanted to travel the world but she knew that she should not leave her husband. She felt that her husband wasn’t taken enough care of her personally so she took care of herself in the form of her chrysanthe .....

.... most obvious technique Carver uses in “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” to make his point is through the subplots in the story. The subplots revolve around the two main couples in the story, and another couple that is introduced by one of the characters near the end of the story. The first couple, Mel and Terri, had been in very bad relationships before meeting one another. They have been together for five years, and married for four. Mel’s marriage to his ex-wife Marjorie apparently ended on a very bad note. Carver states near the end o .....

.... that there is still a nobleness to politics, a dedication to the voters, a love of the political game, and a human compassion in all of it.

.... in advance, which seems inappropriate and is an obvious foreshadowing of the mistakes that are to come. It quickly becomes evident that the boy’s inexperience with money will lead to his downfall when Jesus tells that he gathers all together and takes “his journey to a far country” (9).

This father/son relationship can already be associated with the God/man relationship. .....
