Cinematypes
By Susan Allen Tooth

The writer chose to start the essay with the name of a person and continues to talk about him through the rest of the paragraph. She spoke about Aaron who only takes her to see art films. When they do go to the movie theater they drive separate cars and Aaron is always distant from her. Then she continues to talk about Pete who is very different from Aaron, Pete likes to watch movies that have redeeming social value. Pete and our author usually take turns on driving to the movie theater and they park far away from the theater in order not to pay for parking. If it is raining he offer to leave her at the door, but looks at her as if he didn’t want to be the only one wet, so she usually stays with him. One night she asked Pete to go have a drink with her and he said, “Relationships today, have a tendency to move too quickly.” Lastly she introduces Sam, who she seems to like. Sam pays for everything at the movie theater because he thinks that’s what a man has to do. Throughout the whole movie he plays with her hand and puts his arm around her. By the end of the night, he takes her home and kisses her long and hard. Once they are at the door step he explains he would like to come in, but his steady girlfriend wouldn’t like that. In the end she talks about her own companionship, and the movies she likes. The movies with happy endings, such as love movies. She usually dresses up baggy and eats big chunks of popcorn. In the end she concludes that in all the movies she goes to all the men and the women like each other.
