Break up letter

Dear Brendan,
          October 23, the day that started it all. The day I first saw you, the first day I ever talked to you, and the day I fell in love with you. I knew from the moment I saw you, that you were one day going to be very special to me.
          Do you remember when we first started dating? I can still hear you asking me out every day. From that day on I always thought I was going to be the happiest girl in the world. And for a while I was. We couldn't go days without seeing each other or hours without talking. We did everything together and went everywhere together, we were inseparable. Whether we were out with our friends and family, or spending a movie night alone together I knew we were both happy. We could sit in a dark empty room together, and everything would be perfect. We would sit there and talk and laugh. I could tell you everything. I trusted you like I have never trusted anyone before.
           I can still remember the day you first said those three words; I love you. I didn't know what to say. I knew how I felt about you, and I knew you made me happier than I had ever been but I knew we were young. I wasn't sure if I should say it back or what I was going to say if I didn't. Until you looked me in the eyes and said, "don't worry Ryan you don't have to say it now if you're not ready but I just want you to know I do love you and you can say it when you feel like you're ready." That was the day I knew how I truly felt about you.
           I remember all the times we spent together and those are memories I am going to hold with me for the rest of my life. But along with those amazing memories I have with you, I am never going to forget the nights I spent crying over you. Crying over the words you said to me, the actions you made that kept me up for days. Those words you said hurt me, and you knew it at the time but that never stopped you. Now to this day, the words you said months ago, weeks or even days ago will forever be in the back of my mind. As hard as I try to forget them, I can't. I never thought someone I loved so much could ever hurt me as much as you did.
           Here we are now a year later, fighting every other day over something we don't understand. That fun loving relationship we once had, has now turned into a constant struggle to keep our relationship alive. We are young, aren't we supposed to have fun? We aren't supposed to be worrying about fighting, we have the rest of our lives ahead of us. We have so much to look forward to, and right now I just want to have fun.
            Was it love at first sight? Back on that October night I probably would have said yes. Now I am not so sure. We went from talking for hours upon hours every day to talking once every couple days. When we are together, we don't look at each other the same. I can feel that strong love we once had for each other slowly drifting away with no one to save it. And to be honest, it's to late even if we tried.
           
                                                                                                                              Regards,
                                                                                                                                Ryan

Revenge can often times be an interesting topic. It can be full of thrill, betrayal, and other exciting information. Revenge is still popular today, especially in the well known, comical movie, “John Tucker Must Die”. If you’ve never seen the movie, “John Tucker Must Die” is about a boy named John, who throughout his high school career can be classified as somewhat of a lady’s man, or as girls would call it today, a player. When three of John’s ex –girlfriends are sick and tired of John’s constant games, the girls plot for a new girl to get him to fall in love with her, and in return the girl will “play” him like he plays other girls, in return giving him a taste of his own medicine.

                This movie is full of revenge. The plot is revenge itself! The movie is the classic revenge scheme of today’s generation. Our way of revenge today is practical jokes, though those “jokes” may sometimes be hurtful to the people involved. As a girl, high school is full of boys, boys who are much like John Tucker. Many of us girls sometimes want our revenge! No one likes a player. “John Tucker Must Die” is the perfect example of typical high school revenge, relevant in today’s generation.

                According to critics, “Designed as an ultimate revenge fantasy, “John Tucker Must Die” is a moderately funny teen comedy with a few flashes of bawdy humor.” (Cole Smithy). It’s a typical teen revenge story.

                Revenge today differs from revenge of the time period when William Shakespeare wrote Hamlet. In the time it was written, revenge in most people’s mind meant someone had to die. More times than most the person who was wanted dead was the killer his or herself. From reading Hamlet in class, I've seen how revenge makes people crazy. When Hamlet is plotting his revenge on his uncle, or the killer of his father, Hamlet appears to be losing his sanity. In my opinion, revenge today is so much different than that of the portrayed revenge in the time of Shakespeare. It’s not taken as seriously. In “John Tucker Must Die” does John really die? No. Death in that aspect is trying to portray John’s player-like qualities being destroyed.

                Nowadays, we see revenge at each and every angle. Look around you; friends plot revenge to get back at other friends for their wrong doings, or even a small minor offence that might go unnoticed. As I stated earlier, revenge is a popular scheme especially in today’s generation.

                The hit television show “Pretty Little Liars” can also be a popular revenge tale. The show touches on the lives of Spencer, Aria, Hannah, and Emily after the sudden and mysterious death of their dear friend Allison. With no idea who murdered Allison, the girls set out to find the killer and get revenge and answers that are desperately needed to put the pieces back together. The show holds betrayal and a sense of mystery and keeps you waiting for the story to unfold.

                Revenge still remains popular, even in the year 2013.
