What+is+Love+Prompt+2

Hi, again! As mentioned, this prompt deals with "The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant" and "The First Seven Years." I'd like you to consider the characters of Miriam and Sheila, as well as the characters of Sobel and the narrator in "The Bass..." Do you identify with any of these characters? Whom did you like? Any characters for which you had a distaste? Lastly, mention lessons we can learn about love from these two short stories.
