The movie Once and Covered Bridges are an extract from the

The story Covered Bridge has been discussing the life of a
divorced lady who want to get a partner who would support her,
and the man also needs a partner. Similarly, in the movie, there
is a married lady who had a daughter and she had to take care of
her daughter. She had to do odd jobs so that she can support the
family. The girls meet the buy who was a guitarist and the girl
had a great command over playing piano (Thomas, Paul

This is what happened in the movie, while in the story Covered
Bridges, the man and the woman they fall in love with each
other and they decide to get married. It was a very loving and
romantic story where the things were just perfect. But a twist
that came in the end was that the couple decided not to bear the
baby as it will be a hurdle between the two and they won't be
able to give the same attention to each other (Spillers, Hortense
293-323.). This was not a very happy ending but an ambiguous
one as the family is made after marriage and it is considered as
an essential part of the society, In fact, after a certain age, the
couples want the babies also (Furstenberg Jr, Frank F., Jeanne
Brooks-Gunn, and S. Philip Morgan). Comment by Nocton,
Amy: I am uncertain as to why you have parenthetical citations
in this paragraph. Also, this paragraph contains a lot of
retelling and not a lot of analysis.
This was a topic in which versatility was shown and it shows
how different situations can be created as per the assumptions
of the individuals. The mindset of the people would bring about
the twists in the tale as we have seen that a couple decides not
to conceive while the others did not get married at all despite

3. having a strong bond of love. The wavelengths of both the
couples coincided with each other so well that they would have
moved very smoothly with each other in the life ahead, but they
did not do so. Comment by Nocton, Amy: Be careful!
What does "this" refer to here? Also, the second sentence is
confusing.
The story was written in a very simple diction and the situation
was created in which the reader would emerge in the situation
and he would not want to get out of the scenario. while the
movie was made on a very low budget of 150,000$ only and the
editing was not that perfect, many of the people would not like
the movie but it is worth mentioning that the music was
remarkable, it was originally recorded by the two and the music
has gained a lot of appreciation and popularity. Despite all the
diction and the low budget, both the reading and the movie gave
us the message of love and the story was very clear to
comprehend.
In the end, it would be fair to say that the couple had fallen in
love with each other and if they did not have any sort of
responsibilities, they would have got married to each other but
the scenario was very different and will only but they had to
part with each other. The former couple didn't get married
but they could not enjoy the bond to its completeness therefore
for me it was a sad end to both the story and the movie. The boy
and the girl proved their dedication towards their former loves
and they went back to their lives, although the common interest
had brought them much close to each other and in this world, it
is very difficult to find someone who shares the same interests
like that of the other person.
Hecate,
As a reader, I am having difficulty understanding what it is I
should learn from this essay. The details you have around the
story are unclear and you have not quoted from either text. The
assignment did state that the writer was to quote directly from
the texts used in class, and I feel as though you may not have
read “Covered Bridges” or you simply struggled to comprehend

4. the story.
Additionally, the information you share on the movie is
similarly vague. As such, it is hard to draw any conclusions
about the meaning in your essay. I wish you had given me a
draft of this essay so we could have done a better revision!
You have earned a C- on this essay.
