Like a Flower

Alejandra Luna Dr. White side of meat 201 15 September 2011 Like a Flower Love blooms with love, like a flower blooms with peeing. The Chrysanthemums is a story written by John Steinbeck. This story takes place in 1937, a time when women were not appreciated. Women were supposed to stay home and raise their children. The main character, enzyme-linked-immunosorbent serologic assay Allen, feels distant from her husband Henry. The fact that they didnt have children, might play a role in that feeling, and is probably the reason she wants to be multiform with the farms business. Her face was lean and strong and her eyes were as kick the bucket as water (Steinbeck 629).Elisa might seem strong on the outside, but deep inside she is fragile like a flower. Though fragile her eyes were as clear as water which means she has very clear what she wants and needs. Just like a flower, she needs cargon and attention. The point of this story, in my opinion, was to demonstrate the importance of pic kings care of a charr, not just economically, but emotionally and physically. If you codt water your flowers they bequeath die, just like love will die without care. Some men think that by providing economically, they are doing enough.A woman might have the biggest and prettiest house, the most expensive car, and the best brand clothes, but that might never be enough to make her happy. We all need individual to love us, someone to hold us at night, to awake to in the morning, someone to have breakfast with and talk to about our sorrows or joys. currency can never replace the need for a companion. Economical support is a marital responsibility, not a sign of love. Furtherto a greater extent, a woman needs emotional support, she needs someone that listens to her opinion and takes it into consideration, someone who will value her thoughts and ideas.Men have no idea how important it is for a woman to be valued, to be listened to. Many people will agree that communication is a key concept in a relationship, so knowing about her interest will give you a reason to talk about something both of you have knowledge about. It does not matter if its not something that interests you, as long as it interests her it will help, it will also cause you close to each other just like Elisa felt close to the stranger, when he seemed provoke in her Chrysanthemums.Another good way to support her emotionally is to equilibrate her. Complement her accomplishments, or simply her beauty. Dont say you cypher so nice (Steinbeck 635). You look so nice is not the right thing to say, use words like beautiful, radiant, dazzling, etc. motivate her why you chose to marry her and how you promised to honor and respect her for the rest of your life. Simple thing like that, can bring our self-esteem up it will make us feel wanted and loved. Lastly care for her physically, and by physically, Im not referring to sex.Sex is important in a relationship, but what I mean is a simple caress, or to get cozy on the couch, and also take her out on a date I ought to take you in to dinner oftener. It would be good for both of us. We get so heavy out on the ranch (Steinbeck 636). Henry noticed that he needed to pay more attention to his wife, he realized they are kept very busy at the ranch and dont have time for each other. That is very common in marriages we get carried away with our business sector or our children and forget how important it is to pay attention to our partner. Also help around with household chores, sometimes men dont realize how hard we work.In my case for example I am the first gear one to get up in the morning, and the last one to go to bed at night in between that, I have three daughters, chores and school. It makes a woman very happy, when her husband gets knotty and helps with the responsibilities. I truly appreciate all my husband does at home, even though he has twain jobs, he comes home and helps out when I have to do homework. Taking care of a wo man is as important as taking care of your flowers. If you want a beautiful garden, you water it. I you want a beautiful wife, you take care of her. he leaned over the fit fence that protect her flower garden from cattle and dogs and chickens (Steinbeck 629). You dont have to put up a wire fence to keep the dogs away from your flower, all you have to do is take care of her economically, to give her consolation emotionally, to give her peace and physically to keep her young and beautiful. That is the best way to keep the dogs away, and keep her interested in no one but you. Works Cited Steinbeck, John. The Chrysanthemums Compact Literature Reading, reacting, writing. Laurie G.
