Hello!
ResponderBorrar1. The name for the story: you can do anything while you are in love
2. When she went away because she was tired of the situation.
3. Maybe they met in the school, they were classmates and they could be boyfriends in the high school, then they went to live together.
4. If I were Tommy, I'd go for her because she is an amazing woman and you can't get a excellent woman like her at the corner, she is wonderful.
5. If I were Gina, I'd run away because I don't wanna have a relationship with someone that don't do anything and if he wants to get me again, he has to change his life.
6. They loved between them and some day they decided to go to live together, they were happy, but someday, Tommy didn't find job and Gina started to work in a diner. Then, Gina was tired and run away of him.
7. Gina: Tommy, I have always wanted you, but I can't be in this way, I am so tired about this. I want that we give a time, to find new people and to be happy. I want that you are good all time. I wish you the better. Gina
A. Each one found his and her way, they are good now, each one has a family and a nice job but they incomplete, they feel that need something.
Hello!
ResponderBorrarThe title is good acording to the song, it mean that a man lose his work and her wife needs to work for they survive, for the lack of money and the hard Gina’s work they are livin on a prayer. They are going through difficult times, they only have them love.
I really like the song, It is very tender because they fight for their relationship despite its problems. I like the rock music and this is a genial old song.
I think that Gina and Tommy met two years ago in the docks. They were beat as they walked and they smile when look face to face. Gina was a rich girl and Tommy was poor, but they do not care this conditon. They love and get married.
If I was Tommy I look for other job in all of the docks until find one. But If I don’t find work in the docks I look for other job in other thinks or I practice my skills for make money. As Gina work hard I understand her and do all of the housework. I tell her all of the time baeutiful things.
If I was Gina I try to feel the most well possible and enjoy my work. I would support my husband, and helps to look for job. I help to reach his dream of his passion for music. And try to do not cry.
The begin of the story is about a beautiful couple, they life were perfec, they have a big house and life in a good neighborhood. But one they Tommy lose his job for the union’s been… The final of the story is in the been stop the strike and he continue work in the docks and in his free time he dicede to have a band of music rock and he wins a lot of money, her wife finish her job in the coffee and they have children.
Letter:
From Tommy
To Gina
Hi my sweet girl

ResponderBorrarA. I think that the new song is sad in the first part. In this they do not continue together despite their love. She continues cry and the boy got tired of her sadness. She renunciation of the love of Tommy. But he want to continue with her.
The second part of the song is romantic for this reason they continue together.
B. I do the same. They continue with their love and they fight every day for their relationship and next their life is most better.
1. the meaning, the difficulties will be present along the way, in the name of love everything can improve
ResponderBorrar2. I liked the song, it has good pace and the letter has a cute meaning although somewhat sad
3. Perhaps in a bar while gina took a coffee and tommy told her their stories in the spring
4. the dircuntacias can be difficult but the most important is to try to improve, would never try
5. It is very logical that she was tired, because that bring the cost of a home should not be easy, but one day can the Sun and improve the situation. If there is love, one of the important thing is never to lose hope that things will change.
6. Tommy to the circumstance of not finding a job, goes to streets to dig a few money to help gina with costs. But this situation does not last much, stories to open the spring and recover your work.
7. Gina
Gina was not happy at my side, I exerted pressure for you, I could not help you much. I'm going to go in search of new opportunities, I'm sure this will improve.
Wait for me. Everything is possible in the name of love, don't let go of my hand
1. The name of the song means that when you fall in love you can do anything for your couple.
ResponderBorrar2. i think this song has a beatiful message, shows a true story and I like that.
3. i don't know, but i can imagine that love was strong from the beginning.
4. No matter the situation, I would have gone there with gina, that love is, to support.
5. Despite being tired, it will, at some point all would be well.
6. Tommy find a new job, a stable work and those its economic problems go away, they realized that everything is not always bad, sometimes it comes to learning.
7. Gina, I appreciate everything you've done me, for both and i really love you, for this reason I could not afford to be a burden to you..
