The essential question I chose for this journal write is "What factors determine one's choices and decisions? I think it's mostly the time, place, and mood that effects ones decisions, because they could feel either really happy one day, or really mad, and they could totally change what decision they could've made at that moment. For example, in the Last Song, when Ashley saw Ronnie with Will, she was very jealous because she wanted Will back all to herself. So her jealousy towards Ronnie, is what made her tell Ronnie those lies about Will to make him look bad. "New girl, new conquest? Don't be mad at him, it's just the way he is. He can't help it."
The setting at this time contrasts with the attitudes of the characters. For example, Ronnie and Ashley are sitting in a middle of an excited game, watching a competitive volleyball game. While this is happening, Ashley is being manipulative, and Ronnie is very mad and irritated.
This part reminds me of the movie "John Tucker Must Die" because it has a character who preforms the same moves on girls to get them to like him, and then in the end they all find out.
