During the book A Walk to Remember Jamie changed Landon into a completely different person and he didn't even know it. She taught him not to judge people from first impressions, how to help others and think of others and he realised that there God is worth reading about and that miracles could happen.

Analysis March 4, 2014 For this project I selected A Walk to Remember written by Nicholas Sparks and directed by Adam Shankman. The cinematography was done by Julio Macat. The book was released in October 1999 while the movie premiered in 2002. At large the book and the movie tell the same story except for the period. The book is set in the 50’s but the movie was set in the mid 90’s to attract teenagers rather than alienate them. A Walk to Remember is about a girl named Jamie (Mandy Moore) and a boy

A text included on a required reading list for high school students should
I want to talk about Landon Cater being a dynamic character and the foreshadowing in the movie called “A Walk to Remember” because Landon Carter, the narrator, began to think about his life changing experiences that helped him and ones surrounding become better people. The movie starts off with Landon reminiscing about when him and his friends were underage drinking and severely injured another student during a prank. The prank was to jump off this high story building into a lake. However, the student

it is absurd. The movie “A Walk to Remember” presents kids that give into peer pressure as brainless. The characters act as if there is no escaping peer pressure and they want you to think it is the only thing to blame. Peer pressure in real life is much different than it is in movies. Teenagers that give into peer pressure in movies are helpless, but teenagers that give into peer pressure in real life know better. In the opening scene of the movie, A Walk to Remember, a

In today’s society, it is said that love is known as being one of the most profound emotions known to man. In the movie A Walk to Remember, the film tells a story about two teenagers at the age of 17 who initially moved in different social circles and were seen as being completely different by their peers. Being that, Jamie (played by Mandy Moore) was a quiet and religious girl whose father was their town’s minister, and Landon (played by Shane West) who was seen as being popular and was constantly
Although when you really pay attention to a movie in detail you are able to see the imperfections and it makes you change your mind. I chose A Walk to Remember because it’s one of my favorite movies and I thought it’d be interesting to watch it from a different perspective. I came to realization that it is not in fact as good as I thought it was. A Walk to Remember’s narrative is somewhat that of a classic love movie. The “bad boy” which in this case is Logan turns all heart warming and falls in
Philosophy In A Walk to Remember A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks tops the list as my all-time favorite book turned movie. I have waited for the time to write about this movie and was excited when I learned that I had to apply an ethical theory to it. This teen romance novel has many different philosophical points, but one of the main ones is Ethical Egoism. After a hazing incident goes extremely wrong, Landon, one of the most popular boys in school gets sentenced to community service, then
High school is one of the foundations in a person’s life that make them who they are today. In middle school, watching movies High School Musical, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, A Walk to Remember, and Mean Girls, I would get an idea of what it would feel like to be in high school. After my eighth grade graduation, I was above and beyond excited to begin this new journey in my life. High school is an option for reinvention. This was my one chance at a first impression and I was ready to have a

is a reoccurring idea over the four texts studied this year. Sacrifice is giving up something you value and this is shown through the compare and contrast of these four texts. All texts chosen show similar but different forms of sacrifice. A Walk to Remember written by Nicholas Sparks demonstrates the idea of sacrificing your reputation, where Landon sacrifices his popularity to pursue love with Jamie who doesn't share the same reputation. This compares with Othello written by William Shakespeare
fragments of lost information! The first thing that I can remember from my childhood is visiting Margam Park with my father. I must have been around the ages of two or three, as my younger brother was not yet born. I can remember the day quite clearly, as we often took this exciting day out, as it seemed to me! I remember my father telling me to wave my mother goodbye as she made her daily visit to a thing she called 'work'. I remember toddling through fairytale land and marvelling at all the
