Relationship

In the novel Balzac and the little Chinese seamstress by Dai Sijie, I can relate my relationship with Diego, and Lou and the little seamstress's relationship because we have numerous things in common. We both try and keep our sexual relationship a secret. Both of our relationships are open because Diego and I express our feeling's with people we associate with, we are also open by letting other people see our body language. There relationship is intense whereas my relationship if not. There is an equal dynamic in my relationship, what I mean by saying that is we have similarities and differences.

The definition of relationship is the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people who are connected. I am going to write about hoe I try and keep my relationship with Diego concealed since he's a little older than me, and since in the book they were in a communist society they had to keep their reeducation to villager relationship somewhat a secret too. Also, I intend to compare and contrast the differences between my real relationship and with the books relationship. Lou the little seamstress's relationship Is somewhat open, people know they like each other and that Lou has a crush on the little seamstress, but don't know the big things, like when they had sex under the tree, and how she got pregnant and had an abortion and kept being pregnant a secret.

Lou would have zero chance of getting out of the reeducation. Life would be harder for Lou for his remaining years.

Love can be defined in so many ways, but the seamstress's relationship with Lou and my relationship with Diego are strangely alike. When I'm with Diego I feel smarter and love to be around him, he always calls me smart and that always builds up my confidence. Little seamstress feels smarter when she's around Lou, he makes her feel like an equal and enlightens her by reading the books. Even though he thinks she's naпve, but he doesn't tell her. But, here's the difference in our relationships, my relationship with Diego is more responsible than Lou and the little seamstress's, because the little seamstress gets pregnant. But, with my relationship I don't have to worry about getting pregnant and worrying about how imp going to tell my parents because I'm still a virgin. Diego and I have a sexual relationship, but doesn't necessarily mean we have sex.

Our relationships are very dangerous. Lou and the little seamstress's relationship is dangerous because if they ever found out about them having sex and how she got pregnant, they would have to go to jail. Same with me and Diego, if we got caught having sex he would have to go to
