At First Sight written by Nicholas Sparks is a story about a newly engaged couple with a baby on the way. The couple, Jeremy Marsh and Lexie Darnell, anticipate their wedding day and the birth of their child. They’ve only known each other for a few weeks; this entails some conflicts and secrets. Jeremy is also dealing with his career and financial predicaments which seem to be caused by his move from New York to Boone Creek, North Carolina. There are several themes hidden within the plot.

This obviously put some stress on the couple and their relationship once more. Lexie gave birth to a healthy child but didn’t survive after giving birth. Jeremy had a new baby to take care of after losing his wife. While dealing with the events his thoughts overwhelmed him, “How could he ever love her? How could he forgive her? How could he see her or hold her and forget that she’d taken Lexie’s life in exchange for her own? How was he not supposed to hate her for what she had done to the woman he loved?

He lost the love of his life- an incredibly difficult situation to experience individually but accompanied with having a new baby, rose above the conflict and learned to love Claire despite losing …show more content…
The couple was engaged waiting to get married, buying a new house that needed renovations, buying a car, getting ready for a baby, and still maintaining a career. Jeremy struggled with his writing career after moving to Boone Creek; he was blocked and didn’t write anything in months. Along with his writer’s block, he had some financial worries as well with the new house, car, and renovations. One day Jeremy finally thought he had enough, “He shook his head, tired of his troubles with Lexie, tired of wedding plans and house renovations, tired of not being able to write.” (121) In this event the author shows us that Jeremy is tired of dealing with all of the responsibilities that came with his new marriage. After everything settled down and Jeremy was able to write again, everything was great for the couple. They had some troubles and stressors in the beginning, but they helped each other get through it.
