Notes:

Monday, September 10th.

1. This is a love declaration taking place in an extract of the film Love Actually.

The male character decided to express his feelings in a very original way,

by writing the things he wanted to tell on cardboard signs/placards.

She is reading each sentence and discovers that he is in love with her.

Unfortunately, she’s already married so this “unrequited love”

2. Identify the type of relationship:

3. Is the reader meant to agree with the narrator when he says he is not mad? How do you know?
