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 fiancé 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.
