Sophistication

    Sophistication, a short story by Sherwood Anderson, is about a man named George Willard who loves a woman named Helen White who also loves him. I believe that George made himself look stupid when he kept boasting about one thing after another to Helen just so he could make himself look good. Also he was made to look stupid when he started to walk to Helen's home and barge in and sit there. He also said he will say he wants to see her. He says this over and over again until he sees Helen. This makes him look stupid, but Helen would overlook this because she loves him. It seems to me at first that both of them are blinded by love, but it actually is love that both of the people can give back.

     I feel like this love can exist but it is very rare because in our time, people love because of looks more than  personality. There are lucky couples who love each other for their personalities before looks. There are a lot of break-ups and broken hearts in our time as a high school as we are experimenting with love to see who we would fit in with yet George and Helen feel for each other and wish that the other will always be in good condition and they can live together for a long time. Also i believe that George and Helen understand each other to be able to have a good connection and relationship.
