English 10: Talking about love . . . Interview someone tonight.

Choose a couple you know well--parents, step-parents, grandparents etc.

Ask: What is it like to be in love?

As you listen, write down the key phrases. Do they speak of love in a manner similar to Romeo or to Juliet? To Mercutio? To Paris? To Samson or Gregory?

Is love described as a spiritual bond? A business deal? Lust and sex?
Why is it awkward to talk about love?

What is love?

Be prepared for a lively discussion tomorrow.
Bring good information.
When they answer your first question, ask more questions such as . . .

Why do people fall out of love?
Is love a spell? Did you lose your mind when you fell in love?
What did you have to risk for love?
What part of falling in love was scary?

Next Thursday, Nov. 28th, we will be going to the Belfry Theatre's production of A Tender Thing. You can google the play title or the Belfry for more information.
If you haven't paid yet, now is the time.
Thanks.
