Intro #2 to contrast essay

       Here’s a man of the ARMY, one who fights for his country. He’s a warrior over sea’s at battle in life threatening encounters. He’s an engineer by day and a civilian sniper by night. What exactly is going on in his mind when he gets just a few hours of shut eye or a minute of peace? Is it his family back home? Is it his kids? OR is it his selfish thoughts of himself? After seeing so many men die and so many men absolutely cherish their wives and children, don’t you think that would trigger some sort of priority in his life! NOO it doesn’t, it never had any affect what so ever! He went into the Marines as a coward and came back out exactly the same. Mathew John Savage was still the same heartless, selfish, and arrogant bastard he always was. In the beginning he made me think he was such a wonderful person, spent tons of time with me and told me he loved me. All of the girls wanted him; he was the full package deal with a perfectly fit body, naturally tan, played all of the sports AND he was very intelligent. Me being a junior in high school and him a senior I was soon to find out that he had other plans then to be tied down to someone, especially after I nervously told him that I was pregnant and then the very next day, see that he had a new arm candy. I was devastated; he put me through hell and didn’t care to hide it anymore. I could tell he had hid her on the back burner for a while and that hurt even more because in reality I didn’t even know who that person was anymore. So I thought to myself, I’m going to get that jerk back. So I started dating Jacob. He was the total opposite of matt; it was like night and day. He had bright blue eyes, straight white teeth, and everyone called him baby face. He was very intelligent, number 1 of our class, very shy but also very sensitive to other people’s feelings. He on the other hand was very excited that I was going to be having a baby and loved her already. So not realizing that this relationship was first aiming at revenge and now finding that I was actually falling in love with Jacob. When I actually started developing these feelings for Jacob that’s when of course, Matt started calling me from Hawaii, mind you while he was home on break I become pregnant AGAIN!, I had decided that I wasn’t going to do it anymore. He didn’t care about me, he didn’t care about the kids, and it was just a big game to him. I was done hurting Jacob and thankfully he forgave me because he was the one that was there for the kids, not Matt. He cared for them, he was there “daddy” and they loved him and knew no difference. These two men may share the same children the same responsibilities as a father and may have loved me at the same time one point or another, but it’s how they each individually dealt with the kids or I and how their different personalities, values and morals lead me to choosing one over the other.
