We often see ourselves within the characters of these stories, which is what makes them so appealing. In our current era, unrequited love is still a greatly utilised theme in many books, such as “Dear John.” Nicholas Sparks writes, “I finally understood what true love meant…love meant that you care for another person’s happiness more than your own, no matter how…

This idea can also be seen in his favorite song “I Can’t Give Up the Sailor’s Life” as some of the verses of the song were “Now the sea’s my home, I decided that…As I wave, boys, I wave so sad. At the harbor town where my heart was glad” (18) The lyrics are very conflicting as he takes the sea for his home, yet his heart is glad on the land.
