A man named Arnold Friend shows up and manipulate Connie into a real life fantasy. By using Connie’s escapist mind, the things she loves, Oates puts Connie in a strange predicament. Arnold Friend uses his words, mysterious ways, and shared values to attract Connie. It starts when Arnold Friend uses his mysteriousness to make himself known to Connie. During a date with a friend as she is feeling so happy and alive, Connie notices something a few feet away from her.
I’m your lover, honey… Yes, I’m your lover. You don’t know what that is but you will,’ he said. ‘I know that too. I know all about you…you couldn’t ask for nobody better than me’” (Oates 4). In forcibly telling Connie that she is going to be his lover and him hers, Arnold Friend becomes the antithesis of a friend, by establishing intimacy and fear in their tenuous “relationship.” With this new facet of their relationship Connie is now forced to question the identity of Arnold.
Jeffrey Cobb Mrs. Bass English B 18 September 2012 “Love in L.A.” The story “Love in L.A.” written by Dagoberto Gilb. The story shows Jake, who is very infatuated with his ’58 Buick and all of the things that he wants to add to it. Jake like people today think that by adding these things to his car it will make him happier and actually turn his life around. Which is what leads me to believe that self-deception is the theme to “Love in L.A.” I make this statement because when we read the story we see that Jake is constantly lying to himself by saying that if his car looks better and all of these nice things in or on it, then his life would be easier, better, and he would feel and look better about himself. I make this conclusion from where it says in the story all of the things that Jake wanted to add to his car to make it look better and possibly even change his entire life (page 45).
At home, she acts as if she were an innocent child that is not concerned with the dynamics of the opposite sex. But once she ventures into the "real world" she seeks male attention. Having the feeling that Connie can not get any satisfaction at home she resorts to outside sources, making herself a victim to boys. When the "masked" man came to her door, Arnold uses more of his conniving devices as he frequently makes strategic use of the word "love", reinforces the tragic reality of domestic situation, and promises his utmost respect and loyalty in an attempt to make her want to leave with him. He knows that she is starving for true love and uses that to his advantage.
He continued with his alluring tone right to the very end. The advertiser ends with an interesting use of asyndeton, He says to you “ So it’ll leave you with enough money for all the CDs you need to listen to, concerts you need to attend, cites you need to visit, bridges you need to bungee-jump from.” The pattern and rhythm you sense from that builds up your energy and anticipations. He brings you a sort of hope for all the greatness that might come to you if you were to get the car. It allows you to think of all the things you can spend your extra money on. And being part of a younger generation this reminds you of the adventures that lie ahead.
