The Notebook: Part 2

     I would very much recommend, The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. It is one of the best love story novels I have ever read. It tells about two people, Noah and Allie who are destined to be together. They met each other when they were only teenagers and fell in love then. They’d spend all their time together but one day unexpectedly Allie left him. Noah never once forgot about Allie. When he dated people he would be thinking about her instead. He worked physically hard, repairing and building his dream house, just to get his mind off her. Allie comes back to him but she is engaged but she felt like she had to see Noah one last time. Their time together brings back old unforgotten emotions and they fall back in love with each other. They stay together for days and that’s when Lon, Allie’s fiancĂ© get suspicious and finds out where she is. He is about to go over to Noah’s to get her back. That’s when Allie then has to leave again and this time for good if she chooses to marry Lon. I liked all the obstacles that Allie and Noah go through because they fight past it all. That shows how strong they are and they will do anything for one another. Allie does come back for Noah and their lives then begin together.
The book cuts too when they are old and have to live in a care taking home. Allie develops a heartbreaking disease that makes her forgot the people she loves. Through all the hurtful things Allie says to Noah because of the disease he never leaves her. He even miraculously helps Allie to remember who they he is simultaneously. Those little miracles help him push forward to keep helping Allie too. It shows how passionate they are for each other and nothing could ever come between them. One thing I wish the author would have told more about is why Allie would leave Noah after they were so much in love. Her feelings that would make her pack her bags and just leave him. I really enjoyed this book enjoyed this book a lot and found it to be one of my favorites.

The Notebook: Part 1 choice book report

     I read, The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. Noah Cahlon is the main character. He lives alone in New Bern, North Carolina on the country side near a lake. Noah is hardworking and likes to read poetry. He has always been shy and quiet even as a kid. At age 4 he wouldn’t even speak that was when his dad introduced him to a famous poet, Walt Whitman. Since then he has always loved to read poetry. Noah has never forgotten Allie, his first true love, and spends most of his time working to get her off his mind- as his neighbor would say. Noah never gives up. He wrote Allie when she had left him fourteen years ago, dozens of letters even though he never received a single reply. He didn’t give up on love either and kept trying to date. He also would never want to hurt anyone. Finally after so many years Allie comes back and the two fall back in love with each other but she is engaged and has to make a decision to leave back to her fiancĂ© and never come back or stay with Noah. Noah tries to persuade her to stay but also understands that there is another man who is in loves her and will know why she has to leave.
He knows what is right and always follows his heart. He inspired Allie to paint again because he knows that she has amazing talent for it. After hearing from him say that she does try again and realizes how big her passion is for it and later her paintings grow to be world wide. He has always known that Allie was the one for him, that they were meant to be together. No matter how many obstacles they faced he was always going to stay with her. As they grow older together, Allie is diagnosed with a serious disease called alzheimers. She forgets who Noah is to her and soon they are not able to be together. But Noah breaks the rules just to see her because he can’t let her go. Sometimes when he does see her she breaks his heart because she doesn’t know who she is. That doesn’t stop Noah though, and he keeps putting in all his effort for her to remember who they were.
