“The purpose of this paper is to write about the similarities and difference of two movies: The Choice and The Notebook. Nicholas Sparks really knows how to set a romantic/emotional, but also creates a very predictable love story plot-line. You could predict the ending before the movie started with only knowing who the movie was based on a Nicholas Sparks novel. There is always a boy who falls for a girl and has to work extremely hard to get her. Then, something happens, but in the end they are always together. The Notebook and The Choice both show how life is about choices, you have to fight for what you love, and the good guy wins; but, in The Choice the ending will leave you wanting to know more about these characters and their story and that is why The …show more content…
In the movie The Notebook first released in 2004 that features actor Ryan Gosling and actress Rachel McAdams; Internet Movie DataBase (IMDB) best describes the plot by saying, “A poor yet passionate young man falls in love with a rich young woman, giving her a sense of freedom, but they are soon separated because of their social differences” (IMBd). At the start of the movie, an elderly man begins to read a love story from his notebook to a female patient. The love story takes place in 1940.

Although Noah seemed fine when he left that night, he was devastated and ends up writing Allie a letter each day for a year. She never received the letters because of her mother. Noah ends up going to battle in WWII and Allie becomes a nurse for wounded soldiers. She ends up meets a more wealthy young man who later she becomes engaged to. Later, Allie reads in a
When people read or watch The Notebook, they automatically relate it to the concept of romance, young love, but more than anything true love. This story has a Romeo and Juliet contrast, but nevertheless also brings out many psychological concepts that play an important role in the story. Yet, many people seem to ignore these concepts and decide to pay much more attention to Allie and Noah’s love struggles. The following paper will be describing as well as highlighting psychological concepts The Notebook contained. From Alzheimer’s disease to parenting styles and the theory of love, The Notebook has been capturing the attention of millions of true love believes all around the world. Reality is, the film also captures daily
The Notebook demonstrates the growth and development theories including biosocial, psychosocial, and cognitive. The Notebook is a movie about a young couple who falls in love. The woman, Allie, is from a wealthy family who is discouraged when she has fallen in love with a young man, Noah, who only makes .40 cents an hour (Cassavetes, 2004). The story is told through a “notebook” that Noah is reading to Allie, whom has Alzheimer’s disease. Allie has no clue that Noah is her husband due to her disease. Noah has hope that Allie will eventually recognize the story he is telling her and realize it is her husband
The main characters in The Notebook include: Allie, Noah, Allie's parents, and Noah’s father. Allie is a young city girl, who comes from a wealthy family, who spend their summer vacation in Seabrook, where Noah is from. Noah is a young country boy, who comes from a poor family. Noah and Allie meet through mutual friends, and end up
The Notebook is one of my favorite love movies of all time. The reason I love this movie so much is because that main characters Noah and Allie go through so many trials and finally end up together in the end. This movie I feel shows me how strong their love for each other really was and I now feel as if it is meant to be it will always find a way. Looking at the movie as a reference to get a better understanding of how lifespan development works, I realized that most of the trials that Noah and Allie went though were part of stages of development. The theory of stages of development was created by Erik Erikson, he believes that we go though certain stages in our life and if we do not get passed them properly we will end up with
“ The flashing lights from lightning was the only thing I had to see.”exclaimed Davie. The 1 hour and 30 minute movie was extremely better. To me it felt as if I was able to picture the scene in my mine. Also I could actually see it. The purpose of my paper is to persuade you, the reader to think that the movie is better. “Help… Help… Help. My dad is stuck under a tree. Come quickly!” “What is it?” They were trying their darndest to try and lift the tree. “ There is no hope!” Said one of the men. “ We are putting ourselves in danger. We have to get out of here!” Davie reamed “No I am not leaving until we get my dad.” The guys stopped and turned around. “Fine. Only for you.” That night it didn't stop raining.
Everyday we observe people’s contrasting opinions. Whether it be in politics, school, or in one’s personal life, emotions are often a major factor when it comes to expressing one’s ideas. In writing, an audience must be aware this, and decide for themselves if an author is being bias or equally representing all sides to a situation. In both Into the Wild and In Cold Blood, the authors form distinct opinions about their main characters and believe family structure heavily influenced their future.
Nicholas Sparks’ tragic love story The Notebook is a touching story about two people and their eternal passion of true love which is beautifully portrayed by Nick Cassavetes in the film. Pathos is used in the film to draw members of the audience to the characters and influence them to feel passionate towards the characters. Cassavetes does this by making the movie more dramatic than the book. The director effectively uses pathos to add drama in The Notebook which makes the movie’s audience more emotionally connected to the story. The plot is evidently more climatic as the main events are exaggerated in the film. The feel of the overall screenplay is distinctive than the novel. The characters also play
The “OUTSIDERS”, a book and movie, portrays a small gang going through hard times. The Book and Movie may have the same plot but have small yet noticeable differences. Both stories take place around Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1965. These should be compared to show why sometimes movies get things wrong and why the book tends to be better, in this case they both stick to the plot with only a few missing or added details, such as the book is slower paced but has more detail, the movie misses or adds small details, and the movie destroys your thought of what characters look like.
It’s not difficult to figure out that almost every book with a movie made from the book will have some differences and some similarities. I can almost promise anyone that they will probably never find a book with a movie that is the exact same. This essay will point out some differences and similarities between the book and the movie “Ordinary People”.
Humans now and then have more respect for each other than any other animal has with each other. When one human comes upon another human they greet each other with a sort of manner. Usually others like to help out when one is in need too. Although man is good to each other when civilized or under proper control, the other side of man is very different. The books “The Lottery”, “The Lord of the Flies”, and “The Pedestrian” all present how people can be uncivilized and how people disobey rules. When people are in a uncivilized place they start to turn against each other, people start to defend themselves, and their mindset starts to change.
“The Notebook” directed by Nick Cassavetes in 2004 tells the story of a couple’s fifty year long love affair and its trials and tribulations. The film begins in a nursing home where an old man (Noah) reads a book to an old lady (Allie) suffering from Alzheimer’s. Noah, a poor country boy, and Allie, a rich city girl, meet
You are about to experience a brief compare and contrast paper between reality and a fantasy. In which our world is no long a mass chaos but everyone is equal to each other. I am going to compare the book to the movie. Many things are different and most are the same, but i'm going to point of the differences today between the movie and the book.
In The Notebook there are countless obstacles between the two main characters that are in love. This allows the movie to fit into the drama aspect of the genre, displaying the complexity of their love. Complex love includes the drama, and difficulties of a relationship, while still being closely connected to the romantic parts of a relationship. This is prevalent in The Notebook. Allie and Noah, played by well-known actors Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, were two people from different social classes. Allie was from a wealthy, privileged upper-class family while Noah was making around 40 cents an hour at a lumber yard job. While love is not confined to the amount of money that each person has, in the 1940’s, which is the setting of the movie, social
The movie that I have chosen is a classic film from 1988 called Heathers. Heathers is an American cult black comedy film written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehmann. The film portrays four teenage girls—three of whom are named Heather—in a clique and a teen named Veronica Sawyer who desperately wants to fit in, as well as a crazy and unstable boy named J.D that plans to ruin it all. The focus of this essay will be on three characters. Analyzing their internal and external battles, as well as their social interactions with loved ones and other members of their fictional society.
Genre Theory definitions of genres tend to be based on the notion that they constitute particular conventions of content and/or form which are shared by the texts which are regarded as belonging to them.
