Why I Think The Notebook is Worth Seeing Never has a film swept me away into a story like The Notebook, and never have I found a truer romance. Author Nicholas Sparks based this movie on the relationship of his wife’s grandparents Noah and Allie. Sparks captures the true love on screen as both Noah and Allie experience potential danger, long periods of separation and no communication. That in itself should have been the end of the relationship. If not for their commitment, devotion and unwavering

For this assignment, I went to iTunes Radio on my iPhone and went straight for the country music radio station. I'm a big fan of pop, R&B, and hip-hop. I've never been into country music so it was easy to have a non biased attitude on the song I chose. I picked the first song that came on. The song I'm listening to is “Rewind” by Rascal Flatts. I first thought “Ehhh, a country song.” They all have the same vibe to me. I actually like the lyrics and meaning to the song. The second and third

From the love for Helen that springs from Paris’ impassioned organs to the “fixed mark” that Shakespeare so passionately advocated for, our societal portrayal of love has wavered through the ages. Feeling of such ardent desire, be it carnal or maudlin, can be found in forms of art from all ages. For example, the hit single “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley” is a testament to all love that holds steadfast whilst “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepard” by Sir Walter Raleigh scolds the Shepard false

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, Shakespeare writes about a tragic love story between two star-crossed lovers. His writing also includes many examples of juxtaposition to help characterize the personality of the characters in his play. This supports Juliet’s actions of being impatient, and how Romeo has a gorgeous face, but an ugly heart. Juxtaposition is defined as the fact of two things being compared closely together, such as beauty and ugliness. Shakespeare uses juxtaposition

Deception can drastically change a person in both good ways and bad, but ‘foil’ characters always stay the same, unless… love is involved. Throughout Much Ado About Nothing, William Shakespeare uses ‘foil’ characters to highlight exemplary and corrupt qualities within them. Claudio and Benedick are perfect examples of this, they both question love at different moments in the play, but ultimately find it. The main conflicts that arise are caused by Don John, he creates misunderstandings, villainy

Life is nothing without friendship. Everybody has friends, and people they love, but above all are the friends you love. The ones you’d do anything for. They’re the people who make life worth living.

Anything that isn’t done collectively is frowned upon. To have friends or to love is outlawed. Then Equality 7-2521 makes a friend and falls in

The movie Mean Girls explores a huge number of concepts and ideas that we discussed in class. Of course it is meant to be a funny movie, but it does delve into the psychological and relationship influences and models that we discussed in class. More specifically, I chose to explore the subject of Fatuous Love, as well as the idea of Coercive and Reward Power. In the movie, there is a rather quick and overly passionate relationship that develops between the “mean girl”, Regina George, and the love

Romantic Love is one of the most foretold misconceptions in the world. There is more love shown between family, friends, and common traits. It is shown in Romeo and Juliet, when Romeo countlessly just followed romantic love, and blinded his way of common sense and pride. Love does not supercede all else. Near the middle of the story, Romeo is shown to change his romantic love so easily, it loses his common sense. Romeo doesn’t understand what romantic love is. Common sense supersedes romantic love
