perfect+girl+Coy+mistress

Love is an emotion that can be seen in many different ways. We each feel and act differently when it concerns emotions. Haruki Murakami and Andrew Marvell both write on their reflections of love. Haruki Murakami writes “On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning”. Andrew Marvell writes “To His Coy Mistress”. One piece of writing is a short story the other is a poem. Different pickup lines work on different people. Pick up lines tell the story of the picker upper. Different pickup line work better then others. Some don't work at all. “On seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning” Murakami uses a sense of imagination. He states “ Once upon a time, there lived a boy and a girl”. (Murakami 434). Fairy tales start with once upon a time. The author struggles to find the perfect pickup line. He thinks of line like “pardon me, but would you happen to know if there is an all-night cleaners in the neighborhood?”(Murakami 434). He has no laundry on him at the time. I would look at him like he was crazy. He says “ Do you think you could spare half an hour for a little conversation?”(Murakami 434). He refers to that statement as a “salesman”(Murakami 434). I would not buy any of the author pickup lines. The author dose not have a chance because he never actually says any of the lines. He is in an imaginary state. To his coy mistress by Andrew Marvell take a different approach. Marvell uses a poem to reflect on how he sees love. He says “ We would sit down, and think which way to walk, and pass our long love’s day”(Marvell 721). He acts like he would even need a pickup line just time sitting down to think with the person. In a sense to imagine what the other person is thinking. “And the last age should show your heart” (Marvell 722). When were old it will show how you truly feel of me. He says “ Nor would I love at a lower rate” (Marvell 722). He make you feel like the inside is what counts not the outside. This is important to women. Murakami would not whirl me off my feet with his choice of words. Marvell makes you feel like the inside is what its all about. The poem is a better style for a reflection on love. In general i think people can get more out of the poem then the short story. The pickup line from the story are never actually told so you cant get a realist picture of how the character would of reacted to those pickup lines.
