Blanca's Blog #6

1) For "Love in L.A", I believe the theme is superficial. "Love in L.A" sort of gives the reader a stereotypical look into the life of someone who is very superficial and lives in Los Angeles. Jake is shown as someone who has a nice car, thinks he can get any girl that he wants and has all the time in the world, which is shown when he basically laughs at the fools who are in a hurry to work for the "man". 

2) In "Love in L.A." the exposition starts off when Jake is introduced to the audience. We are then given a bit of background information of how he sees the world, i suppose. The climax is when his car crashes into Mariana's car. The audience is then left with a question ending, which is will Mariana ever see Jake again?

  1. i think you theme is amplified if you consider Jake's actual condition. id like to politely point out that his car is actually a piece of crap, and that he is seemingly not in any position of financial security based on the fact that he has no insurance and a ripped off license plate.
    when you consider this, his materialism and stereotypical superficiality is seen in a much stronger light.hey may have nothing, but hes not humbled in anyway. Jake is still an Angelino who chases his desires and cares only for himself.
