I really liked this clip and the music it was set to. It captured my attention and I had no problem watching it without getting bored. After watching this clip I can assume it is from the movie “A Walk to Remember.” Since I have never seen the movie I am not positive on the whole plot and what it is about. I can assume that it is a love story between two teenagers. The clip starts off with a narrator talking about love. He says, “love is always patient and kind, it is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited, it is never rude or selfish, it does not take offense, it is not resentful.” After this narration, the clip is set to music. The rhetorical strategy is example/illustration, it also uses narration. These two intertwine to make the clip more effective and understandable. The main characters in the clip are a boy and a girl who I assume fall in love. As the video goes on there are clips of the girl lying in what appears to be a hospital bed. This leads me to believe that she is sick or maybe even dying. So the movie seems to be a tragic love story. The rhetoric used is mainly pathos, in that it attracts to people emotions with the idea of love and the sadness of death or illness. I have to say that after watching this clip I want to see the movie now. Therefore the rhetorical strategies used were effective, at least on me.

I LOVE this movie, it is one of my all time favorites, and every time I see it it makes me cry. At different times, but every time, without failing, it makes me cry. Seeing this clip without any of the dialogue also aids in bringing this clip to a different level. Like we talked about in class, I think it gave it more meaning watching it with out any words, it might not have made sense, had I not seen the movie, but as I have it was really nicely done, I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of the music it was set to, but I think it works.
