We all have our own opinion of what love is or being in love. "What we talk about when we talk about love"by Raymond Carver is a story about a group of people who discuss what love means to them. Throughout the story the group of people start drinking alot and started talking about love and their c0nversations about love become different then the beggining of the story. Some of these people had some interesting experinces with love. There was a girl who had a guy so in love with her that he was beating her up because he did not want her to leave him. She thought of that as true love. I just think the guy and the girl are crazy, that is not true love. There were older couples and younger couples in the group discussing love. The younger couple believed they knew what love is and that they were crazy about each other. The older couple tells them that " youre still on the honey moon, for gods sake, you're still gaga." I think that line just meant that the only reason they thought they knew everything about love is because of their honey moon. The story just shows the different perspective people think love is. Sometimes in the begining love is great and sometimes later on the love is not that great.
