Love- Concrete or Abstract

Posted by: kendralee on: December 31, 2008

Journal Entry #3:  In this journal entry the class was told to write what we believe love is using concrete and abstract imagery.  I really like this entry because it helps define what one believes love is.  Their is so many perspectives on what love should be and should be considered.  My first concrete use is not that insightful, though really love is like a rock.  Love, like a rock, isn’t perfectly shaped.  Love and rocks are stable but can also be easily tossed.

Concrete:

  • Love is a rock
  • Love is a growing flower
  • Love is harmonious music

Abstract:

  • Love is wanting someone who has nothing but can give you everything
  • Love is the wonderment of not being good enough yet still chosen
  • Love is the bond that lasts a lifetime

Your examples of concrete and abstract metaphors of Love are well thought out and composed to capture the true meaning of love.
