Zach's 6th

1.  "Love in L.A." thematic statement:  When in a big city people's lives are chaotic, and there are many whom look out only for themselves while take advantage of others.



2.   There are many dramatic elements found "Love in L.A.," for example, Jake's constant inner thoughts and things like when he critiques his own pickup lines are examples of monologue, dialogue and the conflict are shown in his interactions with Mariana, and much is learned about his character through these.  A good exposition is the description of Jake's car, how clean and neat it is, and how it is one of the few things in his life like that.  When Jake hits the back of Mariana's car signals the moment the rising action begins, the climax, I'd say, is when Jake get's the girls phone number, and the little falling that takes place is shown when they each get back into their vehicles and Jake feels pride and accomplishment in getting the girl's number.  The story is resolved when the two exchange insurance and contact information and go their separate ways, though Jake's information only made up.
