A Walk to Remember In the movie A Walk to Remember, many very important themes are present. The main theme in the movie however, is that love conquers all. Landon, a very popular boy in high school, falls in love with Jamie, a shy, unpopular girl that is extremely religious. Only the force of love could bring together these two very different people. When the other girls make flyers of Jamie, Landon comes in and stands up for her, thereby severing all ties with his old popular friends and becoming Jamie’s boyfriend.

Landon loved Jamie so much that he was willing to destroy his social life just to be with her. The final display of love is when Jamie tells Landon that she has leukemia. At first Landon is absolutely shocked and leaves her, although he returns soon after and comforts her. While Jamie is in the hospital and bedridden, Landon takes up her wishlist and begins constructing a telescope for Jamie. When he is finished, he shows her the telescope and proposes. They spend the summer together, and Jamie then passes away.

Jamie withstands all the peer pressure and abuse because, in her words, “Without suffering there would be no compassion. ” She is very kind and does not care what people say about her because she finds joy in helping others, not impressing them with her looks. Her religion is a very strong motive for her and she believes that God has a plan for her and everyone. Her number one wish is to witness a miracle, which she will later see in the form of Landon. Many forms of violence are shown in the movie, two of which are very prominent.

Psychological violence is present when the group of teenagers are pressuring the other to jump off the crane into the river, which results in the young man getting seriously injured. Psychological violence is also present when the popular girls insult Jamie because she does not look a certain way. The other form of violence is physical violence. It is present when Landon comes in and sees what they have done to Jamie, and punches one of the boys in the face. Sexual violence is also seen in the opening of the movie when the boys attempt to kiss and fondle the girls, although it is not as prominent as the other two.

Landon falls in love with Jamie because he sees what a great and caring person she truly is. When Landon is threatened with expulsion and forced to help tutor after school, he really gets to see what Jamie does in her spare time. He discovers Jamie is a very caring person and enjoys helping other people even if it does not benefit her. Landon begins to fall in love with her nto for her looks like he has with other girls, but because of her personality. He truly learns this when she helps him to run lines for the school play. I strongly agree with this quote.

Many people say that “Love is blind” because love does not care what you look like, but rather how you act. If you act accordingly, you will find love. Love does not discriminate against anyone, but accepts everyone with open arms. If you want to love, it will come to you. This quote can strongly be applied to God, because like love we cannot see him but we can most certainly feel his effect on us. Love causes us to feel very good about ourselves and lets us care for others. Similarly, God makes us feel great about life and encourages us to care for others just as we care for ourselves.
