The Alligator Love Story

The Alligator river story is a tale of love and the poor attempts to fulfill love.In the story are a group of people that all played a part in guiding this love of a man and women. I will rate the character's in terms of my respect for each person, one being the highest and five being the least amount of respect.

I will start with whom I think is the worst character and didn't respect the traditions of what true love is, Abigail. Abigail is a poor excuse for a lover. When someone is truly in love, not only will they wait for a life time to be with there lover, She actually got convinced that sleeping with another man would help her cause, bloody whore. I can agree waiting for that boast of life that your lover can bring will make the clock seem motionless but a fifty mile drive or missing work doesn't even begin to equal cheating on your lover for a short cut in time. If Abigail was a good women she would have either roughed out the drive or waited for time when her and Gregory could spend there love together the right way. She was arrogate enough to sleep with another man to be with Gregory, I would give this women the big boot in her piss poor attempt in how to be her lover and no respect for the value of true love. Abigail gets a 5.

The second to last character of respect would have to be Gregory. If he knew they where in love then he should have made a better attempt to be with Abigail. Instead, he would make her go to trifling extremes to be with him. In the traditions of love, Gregory seems like he must not want it that bad. I do understand not wanting to be with her after her fling with the boatman Sindbad but, If he really loved this women he should grow some testicular fortitude and cross the river. His brave swim would have won her over like a knight's tale. Alligators though massive in size don't attack grown men out of hunger unless its provoked by food. A little knowledge and some balls would have saved his relationship, he would have even looked like more of a man. I give Gregory a 4 for not trying as hard a his women and being scared to fulfill his heart.

The next worst character of respect would be Slug. Even if he did love Abigail enough to beat the crap out of Gregory for his lack of care, It was not his love to fight. Slug reminds me of the kid in school who used to fight other people's battles because he has no other way of getting attention. Like a lost boy trying to prove his manhood, Slug would have made a better lover for Abigail. His beating of Gregory does get him some respect because at least he will fight for Abigail's cause.He should have been in Gregory's shoes and used that same determination to see his women. I give Slug a 3 in respect for at least trying to be a man.

Getting better on my scale of respect is Sinbad. Though Sinbad seems like a chauvinistic man trying to get laid, he did nothing wrong in the scents of love. People will say he's bad for sleeping with Abigail knowing she wants to be with Gregory but the fact is he was testing her love,(which was apparently not strong at all).Gregory is just like any other single man out in the world, he will try his best to find some quick love if the opportunity arises.Gregory has done nothing wrong except for trying a women's love for another man. These tests of love happen every day if your in a good relationship because you radiate confidence and draw single people in who want that love. Sinbad Gets a 2 on the scale for at least showing Abigail's flaws to Gregory.

Last on the list and the character that gets the most respect is Ivan. Ivan At least saw that it's not up to him to save Gregory and Abigail's love, it is up to them to determine how bad they want to be with each other. Ivan stayed out of the firing line and left it up to the couple to determine there fate. It was not Ivan's job to insure the lovers get to be with each other it is there own. Ivan gets a one for the most respect for the knowledge to stay out of other people's business.I agree he could have helped but it was not his duty or his love to fight.

Of all the characters Abigail is the worst followed shortly by Gregory for there poor attempt to keep a relationship. Fifty miles and a river of alligators will not stop true love. There have been world wars and much greater disasters that other people fought through to be with the person they love. The alligator river story was just a small test of love which the couple failed miserably.
