what is the imaginative journey in the notebook? i rele cannot think of one? just wondering

 

[SunshineJess19]

i dont know thats why im gonna ask my teacher about the possibility, but the journey could be seen though the actual retelling of the story through the main characters eyes

Hi guys. I was planning on using the Notebook for my related text too, but I decided to do Finding Neverland instead as I didn't wanted to have two films as related texts. The main imaginative journey in the notebook that I could identify was when Noah tells Allie about their past so that she can remember or 'imagine' what it was like. Also, as a teenager, Allie dreams of the perfect house and imagines what life would be like growing old with him.
Hope that is of some help to begin with... I just love the movie. It's such a chick flick lol
Good luck

yer thats wat i told my friends and they bit my head off so i got the shitd and walked off of course and ran into my teacher asked her and she said that but she goes watever you do dont re-tell the story, so im in the middle of that now writing my kick-ass speech to say infront of the smartest people in my yr and im freakin out so bad!!!

Yeah I hate speeches too. I tend to get all shakey and talk too fast. Spose it'd be hard not to retell the story because that sort of is the imaginative journey. I'd focus alot on the change between the past and the present and the significance of these flashbacks. Also memory and imagination go hand in hand in this case. I love the story but it seems to be difficult to describe the journey. You know when you know what you want to say but you just can't write it!! I'm freakin out too because I've got an assessment due next week. I'm doing Finding Neverland as my related text for the Tempest. If you have any ideas regarding that i'd really appreciate some feedback. I'll keep thinking about the Notebook and get back to you tonight if I think of any. And just wondered do you mean the Notebook as in the NOVEL or the FILM??? Cheers.

im prob gonna do the film for this assment task and track the novel down for the actual HSC its just been a massive rush to get everything done...the homework is startin 2 build up
you dont know how hard it is 2 pll together coleridge and the notebook lol

personal opinion= i think u guys have made it really hard on yourself using the notebook as an imaginative journey, its more of a reflection then imaginative. is it too late to change?
