PS I LOVE YOU The movie I chose was P.S. I Love You. To begin with, I chose this movie because I have not seen it yet, but I have heard from my friends that it was a movie that I cannot miss out on. Reading the captions of the movies, it seemed very interesting and as soon as I was done with the movie, I gladly found it interesting. P.S. I love you had a unique plot compared to other love movies, after reading the synopsis I could automatically relate this movie with Chapter one on “Myth of the right one”. P.S. I Love You introduce its self with the daily lives of Holly Kennedy (the main character) and her husband Gerry Kennedy, a happily married couple going through their up and down stages of their marriage. Until Gerry dies of a …show more content…

Weeks later in New York Holly believing she was done with her letters until she received her final one from her mom when she was crying to her about how hard it was to go on without the love of her life. But in the last letter Gerry says his final good bye and tells Holly to move on and be herself and to think about what she was before she met Gerry (an Art Major). Eventually Holly finds out she has the talent to design women shoes. As Holly starts her own line of shoes we see that she gained a new confidence and it allows her to finally accept herself for what she has and for her friends to finally experience happiness. So the movie ends by Holly taking her mother to Ireland and as the film ends it shows the audience with a scene where she finally abandoned the fear of falling in love again and has opened up her life to the journey that awaits her. The Character I’m choosing in the movie to explain the problem that the character is facing is Holly. At the beginning of the Movie before Gerry died, Holly believed that he was “the one”, but then after his death, she goes on a journey that Gerry had left planned for her. Throughout the Journey Holly meets other men and fights her fear of falling in love again, believing that only Gerry was “the

Heff would pit the girls against each other to cause drama that he loved and crave the attention they would give him after he did so, holly was the subject of most insulting comments and would often get the blame for the other girlfriends mistakes. When everyone was getting along Heff would find a way to tear up the friendships and manipulate the girls. I truly think holly has a strong charcter and should be considered a role model, most girls from the playboy mansion are considered dumb, bimbos and only useful for their looks a term and description often used by society. But Holly inspired me and others and shined through in this story the importance of being more than a pretty face and to be a smart, strong independent women. The playboy mansion was a toxic place for Holly and the 6 girlfriedns were rude and spiteful towards her on top of always feeling the need to impress Heff “In a few short months, I had gone from a friendly, optimistic, confident woman to a confused girl with a nervous stammer who second-guessed every thought that went through her head and rationalized every bad decision she made.” Even though every thing she has been put through she was brave, passionate and truly cared, this shown through in her reality tv show and most viewers found themselves realating to Holly. She is a strong and inspiring girl who has put the past behind her and made a bright and sussecful futre and
Her relationship with narrator Fred in the novella and her relationship with Paul in the film ultimately decides her fate in both mediums. Fred allows Holly to be who she truly is without having to hold her down, but Paul tries to possess Holly so she can be kept. The film veers completely off of the novella when Paul and Holly end up romantically involved in the end, with Holly finally being kept by Paul, seemingly ending her “wild thing” behavior. This shows that the film does not properly do the novella justice when it comes to presenting Holly as the wild thing that she knows she is because it ends with her being held down by a man when she had been going through life being by herself and finding satisfaction in
she heads out to endeavor to get the arrangement for her own particular self. At the point when Tom finds her dead,
Drinking age is not a strange phrase in our lives. Every time when we go to club or buy some liquor, we have to show our photo ID to prove that we have already 21 and we are legal to drink wine. I think this is a really good method to control drinking problem. Before I read these two articles which are “The 21-Year-Old Drinking Age: I Voted for it, It Doesn’t Work” by Dr. Morris E. Chafetz and “The Drinking Age of 21 Saves Lives” by Toben F. Nelson and Traci L. Toomey, I only felt that when people grow up they will have self-control to hold their desire for drinking and could decide whether it is appropriate to drink at that moment. I didn’t collect any data or information to support my opinion,
Love You Forever is a classic heart-warming story by Robert Munsch built around a simple, but eternally meaningful commitment from a mother to a child to love him forever. Robert Munsch has become a world-renowned author of children’s books for his unique use of exaggerated expressions that produce sounds that are very appealing and fun for children. In Love You Forever Munsch uses words like “crazy” and “zoo” to add the effect of comedy but the overall theme of the story strikes chords that are much deeper than exaggerated expressions (Munsch np). Robert Munsch started Love you Forever as a song: “I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my baby you’ll
Christopher Johnson McCandless walked alone into the Alaskan wilderness with very little equipment and food after traveling to various parts of North America during the course of two years. Regardless of living on his own with not many things for a couple of years, Chris died alone in a bus on the Stampede Trail in Alaska. Author Jon Krakauer wrote a 9,000 word article titled “Death of an Innocent” for the 1993 issue of the magazine Outside. Into the Wild is simply an extension of that article which explains what provoked Chris into living such a life, who he was, and how he died. The author proves to the reader that Chris was an intelligent man by explaining his research about edible plants and his ambition which builds up Chris’s
Honesty, in spite of every comment, action, and obstacle Holly faces, she is a firm believer that she is an honest individual. Though both sides of this spectrum are discussed in the novella/film, even those doubtful of her stance also share a form of agreement with her. "You're wrong. She is a phony. But on the other hand you're right. She's not a phony because she's a real phony. She believes all this crap she believes. You can't talk it out of her"- Oj Berman. As an existential rogue, Golightly's personality is layered in numerous ways. Her honesty derives partially from her atheistic views towards life. The atheistic existentialist believes that there is no inherent meaning to things, but that life itself and it's many outcomes is determined by the choices one makes. Holly is presented with opportunities to mold her manner of speaking, acting, dressing,career path she chooses, and the whom is worthy as a potential suitor in accordance to society's
The narration now flashes back to 1943, and the narrator’s first encounter with Holly. The first time he hears her voice is well past midnight, when he is woken up to hear an annoyed Mr. Yunioshi complaining about the fact that she has rung his doorbell. She apologizes, saying she has lost her key to the building. The narrator catches sight of her as she ascends the stairs. He thinks she may be any age between sixteen and thirty, it later turns out that she is two months short of her nineteenth birthday. She is followed up the stairs by a short, overweight man who has escorted her home. She refuses to allow him inside her apartment. The man, whose name is Sid Arbuck, is annoyed, and protests that he paid for her dinner and those of five of

In this paper I will analyze two articles, one is quantitative and the other is qualitative. I will describe the quantitative methods used including the research question addressed, the hypothesis, and variables. I will identify the population and sample. I will discuss the reliability and validity of the instruments used. I will then discuss the design of the article and how the findings were analyzed. For the qualitative article, I will identify the design of the article, the methods used and the strategies used for analyzing the data. Lastly, I will look at the implications for practice in the qualitative article, discuss other journals that might be interested in publishing the article and discuss how this article might
Cleaning up down South: supermarkets, ethical trade and African horticulture is a piece by Susanne Freidberg published in Social and Cultural Geography journal in 2003 (Freidberg, 2003). Susanne Friedberg holds PhD from UC Berkely and is a Professor of Geography in Darmouth College, New Hampshire (“Susanne Freidberg,” n.d.). In the article the author argues that the ethical standards have become fetishised. The UK supermarkets compliance with such standards edges on paranoia. It does not mean that the supermarkets care about these standards from moral point of view but that the compliance is driven by fear of bad
In Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holly GoLightly battles with a psychological struggle between the basic need for stability and the aspiration for freedom. Throughout the book, Holly is coded as various animals symbolizing her independence. She fears being captured by her feelings of belongingness. Although she may toy with the idea of personal connection through superficial relationships, she ultimately chooses isolation, which she believes, is freedom.
Holly is not sure of whom she is yet. She is constantly reminded of her past although she’s still running from it. It angers her when she is given a dose of stability. She wants to find herself on her own, not through those who’ve gotten to know her for such a short while. She wants her independence and to create her own schedules to go with her own everyday life.
The objective of this chapter is to describe the procedures used in the analysis of the data and present the main findings. It also presents the different tests performed to help choose the appropriate model for the study. The chapter concludes by providing thorough statistical interpretation of the findings.
