thematic statement for Love in L.A.: Freedom can be used unwisely if a person goes through their life with a selfish mentality and doesn't tell the truth. You can say all the right things, but what you do is the proof.
2. The story starts off with the exposition as it gives a look into where it takes place and a little about Jake. The rising action would be the traffic and leading up to him hitting Mariana's car, as he is side tracked gazing out his window. I think the climax would be when he asks her out on a date to 'reconcile' for what happened, because it is the point in the story that kind of determines the events that come after it (the falling action). The falling action would be Jake lying to this innocent girl, and then her giving him her number and telling him to call her. The resolution would maybe be the fact that Jake succeeds in luring in this girl in a sort of manipulative way, but we don't really know what happens to the two of them.
that's the funny thing about freedom. you only remain free if you follow the rules and behave yourself. if you don't, you either lose freedom or are looked down upon.
ReplyDeleteMany people use freedom unwisely, I agree with that. If you think about it though they might be free from everything external, but they are prisoners to their selfish mentality. Once you are stuck in that mentality it usually stays with you, unless you have a major reality check.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good theme you picked for Love in LA. There are a few different ones in this story. I was originally going to post a bit about Jake's freedom VS his desire for material possessions. Good call
