17. Part F
Research about our
theme: Young couples
• There are almost 16 million adults aged 16-24 living in the UK of which
almost three in ten (4.6 million) are either married or living with their
partner.
• So there is a conflict in needs and readiness when it comes to
relationships for those in that age bracket. Some may marry
prematurely because the need for connection wins out.
• Students who marry while in school may be missing out on some
experiences that would enhance their life experience and maturity.
• In their late teens and early twenties, people are still forming their
adult identities, and are still doing a lot of growing psychologically. It
is best to wait to marry until after about age 27 or so to ensure that
this growth curve has begun to slow down. This reduces the chance
that people will later come to realize that they didn’t really know
themselves yet when they got married, as well as feel that they have
grown apart from their partner.

33. Part N
Applying theories of
Todorov
• Opening Sequence
o Everything started good- him proposing
o Then, becomes complicated- she sees John with someone else, suspicion
o New equilibrium- for the audience to watch and find out more
• Whole Story
o He proposes to Lily, she moved in with John and started to be over protective
o Lily saw Nevaeh’s text to John and followed him and saw Nevaeh with him
o They broke up because Lily thinks that he’s cheating
o But went back together knowing that Nevaeh is only his close friend
34. Part O
Applying theories of
Propp
• Villain- Nevaeh- wearing black, emo looking, Lily
thinks that she is John’s girlfriend
• Main Character- John- story revolves around him
• Second Character- Lily- John’s girlfriend
35. Part P
Applying theories of
Strauss
• We didn’t use his theory of Binary Opposition, because there
are no characters that are evil in our Opening Sequence
• There are no good and bad
• All of the characters are equal (no one is stronger than the
other)
