Acceptance in an Unexplicable and Real World

3. Milkman is on the archetypical hero's journey.
4. " Something was happening to Guitar, had aleady happened to him. He was constantl chafing Milkman about how he lived, and the conversation was just one more example of how he'd changed. No more could Milkman run up the stairs to his room to drag him off to a party or a bar" (Morrison 106).
5. Milkman's journey is a modernization of the classic greek journey.
6. Milkman is affected by the conventialism of the real world and Magic Realism.

Love is better than a warm trombone.

Love is a powerful and confusing thing. It is neve fully understood when, why, or how it happends. Many people confuse other things with love because it is not as clear as other emotions. Love can hinder other senses and control them. Love makes situations less clear then they are.
Love is a truly personal thing that nobody else can empathze with you. Everyone's experience of it is truly different and unique. Which is the whole notion of love is flawed. It can make and break relationships. Love makes people blind. Some people want only to obtain it and nothing else. They will do anything just to get a response to their emotions, or do nothing and suffer. There are many other positive emotions and feelings that do not have the same power as love. Love really needs another to be experienced well. Happiness, for example, doesn't. Love almost affects all other emotions, which is why we confuse other feelings for it. It is not so easy to part with some love than it is to get over a bad day. Bad days are many and short-lived. Love is rare and a long-term affair. But is this the concept of love or the way we react to love?
