Analysis character " A Walk to Remember "- Marsha epriliasari

JAMIE SULLIVAN

Jamie, who is played by Mandy Moore, is one of two major characters in A Walk to Remember and is the film’s protagonist.  She is the eighteen year old daughter of a Baptist minister.  She is not considered to be popular by the other kids at her school.  She is a religious person who always tries to find the good in everyone she meets.  Her interests include theatre, tutoring disadvantaged children, and astrology.  She is sheltered by her father and although she is eighteen, she is not allowed to date boys.  Jamie lands the role of the lead actress in the spring musical and it is here where she meets Landon Carter.  Jamie transforms from a shy and sheltered girl into a strong and brave woman.  She is dying of leukemia in the movie and she confesses that she is not afraid of death.  She states, “Maybe God had a bigger plan for me than I had for myself.  Like this journey never ends.  Like you were sent to me because I’m sick.  To help me through all this.  You’re my angel.”  Jamie’s number one goal in life is to get married in the church where her mother and father were married.  Jamie gets her wish as she marries Landon Carter in this church
