A Summary Of The Notebook
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks is a fictional romance placed in the time of the 1940’s. This story is about two young adults who have their whole lives ahead of them and shows how different family values and upbringings affect a relationship and determine the outcome. As predictable as this story is it comes with some surprises in each of the characters lives and can be very relatable to some readers.
The Notebook starts off with two older people one listening and another reading a story of two young people in love. Once the story progresses it shows how Noah and Allie the two young people fall in love for a summer and once Allie leaves for the city they promise to write to each other wich comes up later in the …show more content…
The climax brings clarity to the story as it brings together Allie and Noah and shows how Lon and Allie’s mother let her make her own decision for once as Allie has always had decisions made for her from other people. Allie chooses who she wants for herself and not for anyone else which pulls the true love idea into the story. While reading the rest of the book you can tell how Allie’s decision was based on what she wanted and how it still affected them until they passed away. My favorite part of the book was the part where Allie’s mom gave her the letters and the part that followed when she read the last one. This part impacts Allie’s decision on who to be with and it shows her that Noah never gave up on her.

The setting is different in ways that Dear John is written in a more modern day tone and The Notebook is in the 1940’s to present day. Both books have the same story line where the characters fell in love while they were young and then fell apart in the process. Each have a different ending but both endings are put in the best interests of the main characters. The main characters in each story line are similar, Allie has confidence and is very self driven and so is Savannah. Savannah knows what she wants and what is best but Allie does not. Both characters come in with supportive parents and Allie has been taken care of her whole life while Savannah has been through things that have made her grow as a person. Between John and Noah the two are similar in the way that they have both been enlisted in the war, and they have similar personalities. What is different is that John did not fight for Savannah in the way that Noah fought for
