Hawaii also creates the perfect location for a love story. Mark O’Bannon guides young writers that choosing a setting is nearly as important as the story itself. He encourages people to think about the genre and the message it portrays (O’Bannon 1). Hawaii offers the perfect answer to everything screen writer Wing wanted to drive through to viewers. Hawaii is charming with white beaches, beautiful flowers, and stunning sunsets. All of these natural beauties offer the ideal equation to a heart touching love story. Although it is stereotypical, Hawaii is the perfect location to host such a unique story.
The stereotypical love story starts with a girl bumping into a guy on the street. She could spill her coffee, drop her bag, and this results in laughter. BAM! It is the start of a relationship. 50 First Dates starts much in the same matter. To start light is in coincidentally shined into Henry’s eyes and it comes from the gorgeous girl eating breakfast alone. After a little flirting they set up another breakfast date. However, not similar to other romance films, the next date results in the chef threatening Henry with the meat cleaver. Cleverly, Wing has Sandler’s character continually flirting and being mesmerized by this unique girl. The movie’s title is worked in now with the start of 50 first dates.

Building onto this unique love story, Barrymore’s character starts writing a journal to keep her updated every day. The journal is a cute kindergarten aspect of love. In the journal she wrote notes about the enjoyable things each day. One instance that was quirky and cute, “Reminder: He makes funny noises when I kiss his neck” (50 First Dates). It offers a heartfelt moment in the sad part of the movie. It shows how much Lucy really cares for Henry and in return Henry shares the same devotion back to her. Of course it is raining when all the heart broken tragedy is happening, but the cheesiness is over powered by the drama. Between the quirky little antics of the characters and the flowing ease of events, Wing gets the loving story delivered. While Lucy had a fairytale like notebook, Henry had a few romantic tricks up his sleeve also. The most charming by far was the love song in the moonlight. A moonlit song is like the icing on the cake, it was the best part of the movie hands down. It is romantic, funny, and fills the room with good vibes. Henry strums the ukulele and sings: The Hukilau was the place, where I first saw your face; we liked each other right away, But you didn't remember me the very next day. Forgetful Lucy, has got a nice caboose-y, I used to trick you into pulling your car over so we could chat, but my favorite time was when you beat the shit out of Ula with a bat, and we drove up to see Dr. Keats, and found out why Doug always has to change his sheet … Forgetful Lucy, her lips are so damn juicy, how about another first kiss (50 First Dates)? The song was genuine and sincere; audiences should have all awed as the song wrapped up. It also gained more love for Henry, as he gained more love from Lucy. It is a sweet moment after many scenes of jokes and laughter, and slowed down the movie to prepare for the upcoming climax. The repercussions of the jokes that happen in the song are tasteful and add just the right pinch of humor into the warm and fuzzy scene like most of the movie does. Humor is a huge aspect in 50 First Dates.
There is constant slinging of jokes from one character to another like any good Sandler film. Either it came from Ula and his children. For instance, Ula has his catch phrase “Sharks are like dogs. They only bite when you touch their private parts.” Even though it is not relevant to the actual love story, it develops more jokes through the story, and shows the idiocrasy of Ula as a human being. He also gets shown up by his kids whether it be golfing, flipping off the docks, or just them calling him out on the inappropriate things he says. All of the cunning lines from the kids also add that extra outside humor to the
movie. Humor not directly between the couple is also included by the other members of the Whitmore family. Doug, the steroid using brother, is always challenging Henry into fights. This leads to Henry pinning him on the ground and making him calm down. He also offers humor in the discovery that he wets his sheets, which is not only mentioned once, but three times and gets a giggle every time. Mr. Whitmore adds humor by criticizing his son. Either sarcastically telling him to work out more, not to ruin the spaghetti, or asking him why he cannot kick Henry’s butt all add nicely together. The dynamics of the father and son duo add more complexity into their protective characters. Nick and Sue also have their fair share of puns, but the best ones are between Henry and Lucy. Henry and Lucy are facing hard circumstances, yet both are mischief loving characters. Henry can show he has an easy time joking with Ula, however Lucy is the one that surprises the audience. When they are on pulled over on the side of the road, she cries her eyes out because her grandfather died jump staring a car, which immediately makes Henry feel bad. Henry only laughs when he finds the whole story to be a flux. Perhaps one of the greatest puns in the whole movie is when Lucy finds out she is sort of dating Henry. She gives him a look of almost disgust and a shocked feeling. Henry answers with a short remark that just makes a person giggle, “Sorry I’m not better looking” (50 First Dates). The small lines of joking and wit make the story ten times better. Small comments between buddies, family, and lovers make the movie the romantic comedy of the decade, with generations to come watching and laughing. 50 First Dates offers brilliant characters, a charming story, and plenty of whimsical jokes, which makes it the best romantic comedy. The story of an ultimate bachelor and a brain injured beauty do not make frequent appearances in movies or real life. The creative story intermixed with well thought out humor make an evening full of laughter and joy. 50 First Dates may not be the typical Nicholas Sparks film; it does, however, become the unusually perfect love story.

What is the meaning of the word “relationship”? Most of us hear this word every day, in other words “a state of affairs existing between those having relations and dealings.

This poem doesn’t consist of many literary devices, but Stallings uses her choice of words to make the reader give thought to the text, and to the story being told of Persephone and Hades.

As you read this “quiz” everything gets very abstract and your options become harder and harder to choose from.

I can surely say that I won't be able to forget about our love story. You were the most beautiful thing that could ever happen in my life. The most tender feeling I have ever endured. Having you in my life and having the opportunity to meet you brought warmth, love, and passion to my heart and soul. The fact that we decide to go separate ways has filled my heart with coldness, sadness and fear, not knowing if you would ever come back to me and perhaps you would forget me bring tears to my eyes.
