A Walk to Remember

Renee K. Orgeron

“Don't you care what people think of you?” “No.”

Such is the motto of mousy Jamie Sullivan, the minister's misfit daughter who tackles faith, redemption, and love, in the film adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ novel, A Walk to Remember.

In A Walk to Remember, Jamie, played by pop star Mandy Moore, is not your typical high-school outcast. She's undeniably pretty, and a little too unaffected by the snide remarks of people around her. The same goes for her leading man, Landon Carter, played by Shane West. He's the popular, handsome underachiever who runs with the fast crowd — a clique that has little consideration for others.
