Themes:
Forbidden Love â Will ultimately destroy you. Jasmine and Patrick lose their lives over social status. Waiting too late to share their true feelings.
Language â As language deteriorates, so does ones ability to express their selves. The IM conversation shows how words lost their meaning when constant abbreviation and internet slang is used. A phrase like âI <3 uâ may be a sign of friend to one person when another person may be serious.
Betrayal â Betrayal occurs in those you trust the most. Patrick was betrayed by his best friend, the last person on earth heâd imagine to go out with the girl he loved.
Privacy â Privacy is a luxury. Patrickâs mom popping in and out of his room shows how nice privacy can be. His mom is constantly checking up on him.
