Love Choices

Love: The meaning of love is an expressional feel of passion, devotion, and
tenderness for someone. This story deals with the sacrifices that are made to give up something that could be sacred possession. I felt Abigail felt this way for Gregory and would risk making a decision that could leave her heartbroken. Gregory could not stand the pain of his love touching another man. Sinbad was only out to make himself happy and didn’t care who was hurt; and the situation left Abigail and Gregory both hurt especially Gregory because Abigail talked to Slug. Abigail felt that having sex with Sinbad was the only way that she could see the love of her life.




Love is blind and sometimes we do anything for love. I give Abigail a three, Abigail was in love with Gregory and from the sound of the story. Abigail would do anything to see Gregory. Abigail put all the respect that she had for herself on the line in order to see Gregory and that is what I mean about people sometimes do crazy things when we are in love. Abigail also had no business talking back to Slug about what had happen with her and Gregory. Slug went and found Gregory and got in a situation that did not concern him. I understand that he felt sorry for Abigail is the only reason he went and fought Gregory. I can understand that Abigail felt like she had no choice but to sleep with Sinbad.

Gregory the love of Abigail’s life didn’t really understand why she made such a bad choice to see him. From Gregory point of view he felt that Abigail was not trustworthy enough for him to take in her love and affection. The thought of Abigail having sexual intercourse with another man made him feel disrespected. In the heat of passion Gregory lost control of his feelings. Based on the actions that he made Gregory will receive a three due to him not understanding Abigail decision.

Sinbad was a manipulative individual that has to have things his way he showed this when he gave Abigail an offer she could not refuse. Sinbad saw how vulnerable Abigail she was and saw her as his prey. He knew that she desperately wanted to get to the other side of the shore. By knowing how Abigail felt he used the meaning of reciprocation. Sinbad was viewed as a self-fish and deceitful person that leads me to giving him a one.

Ivan who was looked at as a close friend to Abigail felt that he should not get involved with Abigail getting to the other side of the shore. I guess he did not want to be held responsible if something happens with Abigail when she gets to the shore. Ivan probably did not want that on his conscious wandering if everything is fine and well. I give Ivan a four because I like how he minded his own business.


Slug on the other hand did not mind his own business. Slug felt that the only way that he could make Abigail happy again was to hurt Gregory. Slug should have been more of a friend by being there whenever Abigail needed someone to cinfide in. I would have to give Slug a three because of the way he went and hurt a man that was only heartbroken. Abigail and Gregory could have one day talked about their broken hearts and could have made a friendship at the end.
