Novel: The Honeymoon Disease,

Words: 324

The sermon was followed by a period of open prayer. Michael always used this time to work out who to avoid at coffee afterwards, and just as he was focusing his disdain on a man with blue boat shoes, the entire congregation turned to stare at him and Michael felt certain Jesus had given them the power to read his mind. 'I want to tell you about my husband,' said Evelyn. Her voice was trembling and she clutched the photocopied notice sheet. 'Until Michael was baptized here, 1 felt angry with him. 1 needed him to become a Christian, and it seemed as if he was refusing to spite me. 'But I know now that it was a test from God. To be honest, although Michael wasn't a Christian when I met him, his lifestyle was much closer to the teachings of Jesus than mine. I knew I believed in God, but that faith became an excuse for a moral laxity on my part. The reason why I felt so angry with Michael is because I was angry with myself. 'I wanted Michael to believe in the same way I believed. I wanted him to know instinctively that God is there, and to use this knowledge as a way of putting off difficult questions. But he couldn’t do that. He needed me to live in a way that he could recognize as better than his own. In order to help Michael find the Christian in him, I had to rediscover the Christian in me.' Evelyn sat down. Michael took her hand, impressed by her honesty. He felt a second of resentment when he realized this would be taken as a sign that whatever was wrong with the newly-weds was now resolved, then decided he didn't care. Evelyn's words had made up for the banality of the service, and he even felt something of his old love for her as they rose to sing the final hymn.

For eight long, hard months Angelina Jolie has been running, jumping, riding motorcycles and jet-skis (not to mention horses and bulls), kicking, punching, shooting bad guys and hanging off a helicopter. It was, she says. physically demanding and great fun. Each night, after a grueling day's filming, she'd go home and immediately fall asleep. And the only man in her life at the moment is her two-year-old adopted son Maddox. " I love learning about myself', she says. " I love being challenged. This kind of work is good for me because I think too much sometimes. I've had insomnia for years. I wanted to shut off my mind but I couldn't. " " Maddox has helped cure me of that. Now, after exhausting myself through working hard and the responsibility of having a child, I'm fine. I can sleep because I need sleep. " So it's great for me to be physically exhausted and challenged day in day out. And maybe it's good because I'm single and it's like, 'Throw me out of a helicopter! I need some release here! Drop me off the side of a cliff. Please!" She's been single for the past 15 months, following the breakdown of her two year marriage to actor and singer, Billy Bob Thornton. Since then, there have been rumors that she has been dating actor Nicolas Cage and even her first husband, Johnny Lee Miller, again. "No", she says. "Johnny and I are great friends, we're very close-but I'm single. She's, she says, quite happy about that for now. Looking after Maddox, being a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations and making movies keeps her fulfilled. But she's also 27-year-old woman, and exotically beautiful one at that - with naturally bee-strung lips, a figure to die for and piercing blue eyes. And it seems being with Thornton - a man 20 years her senior who'd been married three times before - was the wrong situation for Jolie. She has recently hinted that he didn't give her the attention she needed, and before the break-up, there were reports that he had been spending more and more time away from home touring with his band and that Jolie had become increasingly frustrated by his inability to embrace his new family life.

Author: Graham Greene Novel: The Heart of the Matter, 1948 Words: 235

The wind was coming up from the sea - the rains ended as they began with typhoons - the curtains blew in and he ran to the windows and pulled them shut. He glanced at some photographs not even recognizing the faces. 'Never mind', he whispered. It seemed to him now that all he could share with them was his own despair. They wouldn't need me if I were dead. The dead can be forgotten. May God give me death before I give them unhappiness. Solitude and peace that's what he wanted. The telegram lay on his mind all day: he could almost see that nameless boat edging its way now up the African coastline from the south. He went on musing all his life ... when he was young, he had thought love had something to do with understanding, but with age he knew that no human being understood another. Love was the wish to understand, and presently with constant failure the wish died, and love died too perhaps or changed into the painful affection, loyalty, pity… Louise sat there, reading poetry, and knew she was a thousand miles from the torment that shook his hand and dried his mouth. She would understand, he thought, if I were in the book, the hero in that novel, but as it was .... her mind. could not make out what my words, or my actions, mean…

Author: Nick Hornby Novel: How to Be Good, Words: 202

It could well be that I am going mad; or, on the other hand confused and unhappy; or, on the third hand, that I know exactly what I want but cannot bring myself to do it because of all the pain it would cause; and the tension between those two states of being makes me want to explode. But when David touches me in that way, with tenderness, with love and concern, it all dribbles away to nothing, and I just want to be with him and my kids for the rest of my life. I don't want to touch Stephen, I don't want to row about what David may or may not have said to other people. I just want to do my job during the day, watch dinosaurs in the evening, sleep with David at night. Nothing else matters. All I need to do is hold on to this feeling, and I'll be fine. We go, an sit in the car for a little while and David lets me cry. ‘Do you want to tell me what's been going on?' Typical David. Typical man. Something has to have been 'going on' for someone to be in this kind of state...

Author: Susanne L. Wofford (ed.) Study/Criticism: Case Studies in Contemporary Criticism: Hamlet Words: 186

Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the Romantic poet, emphasizes in Hamlet not 'sensitivity' or mind, but intellectual power, and he gives us the Hamlet still found today on many stages and in many classrooms, the Hamlet who thinks too much and cannot bring himself to act. Coleridge argued that there ought normally to be a balance between our 'attention to outward objects' and our 'meditation on inward thoughts', but that this balance does not exist in Hamlet. In Hamlet, then, he finds ‘great, enormous intellectual activity, and a consequent aversion to real action, with all its symptoms and accompanying qualities'. In Coleridge's reading, Hamlet is a philosopher; he is the Hamlet of the 'To be, or not to be' soliloquy, whose 'endless reasoning and hesitating' provides an 'escape from action'. Hamlet's philosophical or speculative qualities were admired because they inspired readers to ponder with Hamlet the great questions of human existence. Thus, William Hazlitt like Coleridge identified with Hamlet: 'Whatever happens to him we apply to ourselves', for, Hazlitt says, his thoughts and speeches are 'as real as our own thoughts ... It is we who are Hamlet'.
