I read "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant, which may not help if u haven't read the book. Now my next task is to write an essay about: love among sisters and siblings, love between parent and child, love of friendship/ companionship, love for a supreme being, love of one's people/community. Compare and contrast these forms of love. What role does each of these play in the development of the individual? How does each of these support or threaten the structure and stability of society?
So those are the guidelines. It would be awesome if anyone could give me a few ideas about any of these things. Even just one. Thanks so much. Please share your thoughts. :))
p.s. I plan to enter some of this essay into the wikipedia section for "The Red Tent"

As you would realize, in English, we only have only word for love, ie "love". In Greek, there is at least four. These are 1) agape, 2) eros, 3) phlio and 4) sergae (sp ?).
This is a starting point and you can take it from there. You could also bring out the point that many people confuse lust and love. Also you could demonstrate that love is an act of the will, not an emotion - a very important distinction.
