Ishamel blog 1- Q,Q,C #1

Quote: "Try this: You've been in love with someone for a decade- someone who barley knows your alive. You've done everything, tried everything to make this person see that you're a valuable, estimable person, and that you love is worth something. Then one day you open up the paper and glance at the personal columns, and you see that you loved one has placed an ad . . . . seeking someone worthwhile to love and be loved by." (Ishmael)

Question: Why did he pick to talk about love out of all the things he could have related the topic by?

Comment: I think this was a great way for an example. I like this quote because the way he chose his words seemed very persist and he put a lot of thought into it so that the narrator and the readers of this book could put themselves in that place and would be able to convey their emotions and thoughts by this text into what Ishmael was trying for them to understand. I like the emphasis he puts into most of the sentences in this text especially in the second sentence where he says "You've done everything, tried everything ect." It shows more emotion where I put the italics.
