The Notebook: Storytelling


The Notebook is my go to movie no matter how many times you watch it, it always tugs at the heart strings. The Notebook is an achingly tender story about enduring the power of love, story of miracles that will stay with you forever. The Notebook was based on the book written by an American novelist Nicholas Sparks, it's a romance movie that was directed by Nick Cassavetes and was debuted on May 20, 2004. 

 An elderly couple, Duke reading a story to Allie. In the 1940's South Carolina, when a mill worker Noah Calhoun and a rich girl Allie are desperately in love with each other. Allies parents did not approve of Noah because of Noah's lack of wealthy, and they move Allie out of the small town. When Noah goes off to serve in World War II, it seem to mark an end to their love affair. While Noah is fighting a war, Allie becomes involved with another man. But, when Noah return to their small town years later and Allie becomes startled when reading about Noah in the local newspaper completing the house, it soon becomes clear that their romance is anything but over. Elderly Allie suddnely remembers her past of Noah and herself, after finding out her illness she wrote their story in the notebook with instructions for Noah to "Read this to me, and I'll come back to you."

 The movies opening adheres to the rules of a strong hook. They open with setting the tone, by opening with tone they set you up to know what's ahead with not telling you. They began with the main characters as an elderly couple. Giving a deeper connection with you with the characters story. They also use inherent question at the begin to make you follow along with why it keeps going back and forth from the nursing home with elderly to young love birds.

 A ethical dilemma I have experience in life was in high school with my cousin. I'm not the kind of person that likes conflict or wants to cause a conflict between people.
