Well after writing my Free Write in class, I decided to come home and think about what ideas would actually work as a topic for my second paper. The two types of media that I was planning on using were a movie and a song. The hardest part was trying to figure out two that fit well with each other, and if they were similar enough to write about.
Some of the ideas that first popped into my head were my two favorite movies of all time. A Walk to Remember and The Notebook are two great movies that are extremely sad, but they are movies that make you cry and think about your life. The next part was trying to find a song that corresponded with the theme of the movie. The obvious thing for me to do was to look at the soundtracks. There is a song called “Only Hope” which I absolutely adore by Mandy Moore. After examining the lyrics, I think this is the best option for me to do.
A Walk to Remember is about two people who are thrown together and eventually fall in love with one another. The guy (Landon) is in the popular clique and the girl (Jamie) is shy and keeps to herself. These two typically never cross paths. The boy gets in trouble for pulling a prank and has to do community service and participate in the school play. The girl is also in the play and this is how they meet and eventually start developing their strong bond for each other.
We find out that Jamie is dying and she has a wish list to do before she dies. Landon helps her to check off items on this list and they end up getting married before she dies. We find out that meeting her was the best thing that ever happened to Landon and he changes his life because of her. This movie is based on love, devotion, and fate.
The song “Only Hope” is a song that Jamie sings in the play. This is the play where Landon realizes how beautiful and amazing Jamie is and he kisses her, unscripted. This is the start of his love and attraction for her. After analyzing the words of the song, it is about a woman’s undying love and passion for her significant other. She is praying to be theirs and theirs only. The woman says that she is giving her all to them and that they are her only hope. This is exactly what these two were with each other from the time that they first started dating. They stuck by each other through the bad and the good.This song really shows the power of true love. This is a perfect song to play at a wedding because it is full of love and devotion, just like the movie.
