Essay Update
I have had a very rough time organizing my thoughts for this essay. I started out with the thought that the idea of love is entertainment, but the feeling is not. After a lot of struggles attempting to find sources to back up this argument, I decided to narrow down my thesis. Instead, I am going to argue that true love is not entertainment. I believe this to be true because true love is a feeling and an emotion. Emotions are dictated by events and actions that occur in everyday life. Entertainment is also an action that causes enjoyment. In entertainment being an action, true love cannot be entertainment. I hope to organize a survey and an interview to help back up the argument. I have also found one psychology article to help define love. I think that once all of my sources are in order and I have all of my evidence, my argument should work.

At first, I agreed with you, that love is a form of entertainment, but after reading this I have to reconsider my opinion. You're right in the fact that love is not an action, but rather a feeling in response to an action, which would not fall under the definition of entertainment. I think that a survey and interview will help you to back up your argument immensely, especially if you read your definition of entertainment to the person beforehand. Now that your thesis is more defined, I don't think you should have too much of a problem with your paper.
