A Walk To Remember
Angelica Marie B. Pelaez 4A5 SCL9
1. What salient point struck you most regarding the meaning of true love?
The point in the movie that struck me the most regarding the meaning of true love is that when you love someone, you would do everything and anything just to make sure that the person you love will be happy and loved always. It is true in the movie when Landon did his best to show how much he loved Jamie although Jamie was not her ideal girl and she was going to die soon and leave him forever. Landon changed for the better when he came to love Jamie. He realized that the most important thing for him was their love for each other.

2. Cite situations in the film which reflects the element of true love.
* Landon changed his bad behavior and habits. He believed that it would make him to be worthy of Jamie’s love.
*Landon stood up for Jamie’s sake against his friends. Although he knew that some of them would criticize him, he still did it for her.
*Landon tried to fulfill all of Jamie’s wishes which she could never do because of her illness.
*Although Landon did not have a good relationship with his father, he still asked for his help to cure Jamie.
*Landon married Jamie despite the fact that she would die soon.
*Although years has passed, Landon still hold on to his promise to love Jamie forever

3. What lesson can you derive from the movie? The movie teaches me that loving someone is not all about happiness. It is also about the sufferings and challenges that a couple should face together in order to let their love last forever. A person would not be afraid to suffer and feel pain because he/she knows that the joy and affection he/she gets from loving someone is greater than those. Also, once a person learns how to truly love, he/she would be more than willing to fully accept the other one despite of her/his shortcomings as a person and as a partner. He/she would understand and care for her/him until the end. A true love means

    She was constantly in conflict with herself over whether or not what she was doing to help this boy would be seen as inappropriate and wrong. Laura’s friends and family were also apprehensive at first when she informed them about Maurice and their weekly visits; they were all worried for her safety. This boy came from a family of drug dealers and criminals, they didn’t know if they should trust him spending so much time with Laura. Even though everyone was telling her differently, Laura had a gut feeling that what she was doing was right: “I had only known Maurice for a couple of months at that point, but I already knew he would be in my life for a long, long time. I just knew that in my heart” (Schroff and Tresniowski 97). Even throughout Laura’s internal conflict with their relationship and her friends and family’s apprehension, Maurice and Laura’s bond was unbreakable.…

    This movie has illustrated what love really is about. In fact, this movie is one of the best love stories I have ever seen. Erich Fromm has thoroughly explained what love really is about and one unforgettable description he has stated was that “Love is primarily giving not receiving”. During the first half of the movie, we’ve seen that when Dora went to the train station where the Jews were brought, she demanded the guards that she wanted to be “in” the train. Clearly, she was an Italian and ever since they were children, they’ve already been taught that they were a “dominant race” yet, because of her love for her family, it drove her to do one thing love can only do: Self-sacrifice. Dora knew the consequences of her actions but as a loving mother and a loving wife, she sacrificed her Self, she gave up her job, her luxuries and comforts in life and she even gave up her rights as an Italian citizen to be one of the Jews because she knew that by doing these things, she could be closer to her family.…
