The Notebook :)

The Notebook is told by the main character Duke, who is the husband when they grow older; when they are younger his name is Noah Calhoun. Part of the movie is a voice over as it plays back their memories. The implied character is Noah because he is the one telling the story and playing a part in what is happening, the other implied character is Allie, the other main character who has alltimers as an adult. The time is presented in chronological flashbacks. It is realistic because it starts off at the end off the movie and then it goes back to flashbacks and plays their life then ends with the beginning of the movie. This movie is a romantic movie. This movie shows that in the 1940s rich families really looked down on people below them no matter how well they treated them. The Hamiliton's, Allie's parents, moved her away from Noah so she could have a better life and someday marry a wealthy man. That shows that all her parents wanted was her to have money security and not to be with someone that she loves. People want to have money so it is one less thing to stress about but only the shallow people worry about being with rich people and marrying into money, while others only look at their actually personality.
