MOVIE (how the book and the movie were the same)

The difference between the movie and the book wasn't that big for me becuase it all made sense. I just like how in movies you can relate to it more, and understand it becuase its real life i guess. I really liked the movie becuase who ever played Rob, played his character perfect and really acted the same as the character in the book.. My favorite part of the movie is when he goes back and visits charlie for her dinner party becuase that actress was very "striking" to Jamar and I. Also the book and movies related each other; Rob's monologues were the same and his top five lists were exactly the same also.

Mainly i thought that the movie and the book were very much that same but the movie took place Chicago instead of London. I also liked how the movie wasn't very predictable, for instance if i would of not read the book and just watched the movie i wouldn't be able to predict what was going to happen or who Rob was going to go off on next! I'm ashamed to say "High Fidelity" doesn't make my Top five list of movies of all time but makes my top 5 list of movies "watched in English class/school"

ENDING

I’m glad to say Rob is becoming more of a man and realizing everything isn’t about him. He comes to realization with himself and people and the people of his past a.k.a his breakups and wrong doing relationships. After he saw Laura at the funeral he noticed that she mattered most to him and she was the women that belonged in his life. After they reconnected, he does ask Laura to marry him, i was shocked with the proposal, but even more shocked that she rejected him. Rob took the rejection not to harshly, he was actually at "peace" with himself, he didn't blame himself like all the other rejections he was just like "alright" its cool.... basically he didn't go sulk and listen to his top 5 different cds and feel sorry for himself like he normally would do. When thinking about the end of the book i thought Rob was either going to kill himself because he was so depressed or he was going to marry Laura and live happier ever after. I was WRONG with both guesses, basically the end was basically telling the reader the rob is at a point of "peace" in his life> As readers it kind of left us with: Rob has changed his life and his doings and going to change more for the good and try to live a normal life and just be able to live happy knowing he is who he is and he cant change that.

top five ways to break up with someone

1- aim
2-voice mail
3-text
4-through someone else
5-writing it one there facebook wall
6-introducing another girl as your girlfriend to you current girlfriend

dont have a title for this

In these chapters, Rob admits that he is afraid of death and dying, and especially afraid of the people he loves dying. What role does this fear of death play in his infidelity? Is this a legitimate reason or just another excuse he has made up? What do you think of his response to Linda’s father’s death?

Rob admits he is afraid of dying because once you die, you will never come back. I have had these thoughts also because i always wonder what the world would be like once i die, or will i be remembered and ect. Rob he actually shows he cares about something else about sleeping with women and music. I think this shows another part of Robs identity because now as readers we know there are other things he actually does care about. dying to me, is the scariest thing i have ever thought of because you don't know when its gonna happen. how its gonna happen, and why it happens until the actually dreadful, horrible day comes. When is finds out about Linda's dad, it makes him think about death and definitely scares him because he doesn't want to die and to top it all off he doesn't have anyone to talk to about how he feels. And on a final note as readers we find out that he really doesn't want to come attached to people in the begging of the novel and now we can conclude that the reason for that is that one day those people will die so there is no reason to become so close to them because you don't know when they will be gone. I really don't agree with that because you don't want to look back on the situation and be like i wish i would of been closer to him or her and fond more out about them but now its to late because they are gone!- but hey, thats just me.

Rob aint Grant

Rob goes to visit his ex- girlfriends which makes me mad because he knows that they wont really give him the time a day and just call him out on specific things he did wrong in the past that made their relationship go down hill. But Rob goes anyway because that’s what kind of guy he is. Mainly the answers he were looking for were : “why they left him”, “why did things have to end like they did” questions basically trying to make the girl feel sorry for him. If I were Rob I would feel really embarrassed because to me, it was completely stupid to go back to his ex’s because he knew they would shut him down no matter what he said. All the girls tell him in a nutshell that he wasn’t the one for them and he really didn’t do his part to keep the relationship going. Which is true, Rob really never do anything to make the relationship better he always just did what was easiest and listen to music or arrange his collection when he felt like something was wrong instead of going to talk to his girlfriend and try to work things out. Rob is the kind of guy who only does things that come easy to him, he is very lazy and when it comes to upholding a relationship he is even lazier. Rob is just simply not a lady’s man like my main man Grant!
