Nicholas Sparks

Already feeling incredibly emotional, we thought it would be best let it all out with a sad, sappy movie. Naturally, we went straight to Nicholas Sparks. The Notebook, we thought, was a classic and had to induce an unimaginable amount of tears. But we also weren’t willing to sit through 124 minutes of it. We eagerly skipped to the only part of the movie we knew about, the scene in the rain, which…

interest. The reason was not the shortness of time or responsibility, it was the lack of motivation. It was not until high school that I became interested in reading again. Ever since, Khaled Hosseini, Shakespeare, john green, Dede mirabal and Nicholas Sparks have been some of the authors who have conquered my soul with their narrative stories.

for five days a week, nine months every year; and after enduring this process for twelve consecutive years, students are prompted to further their education and attend college. A system so simplistic in idea, yet undeniably flawed for students. In Nicholas Lemann's article "Schoolwork" from the September 27th, 2010 issue of The New Yorker, he effectively uses logos and occasionally pathos to show the flaws in a system of education that does not provide the same level of instruction…

I read The Choice, three-hundred and nineteen pages, by Nicholas Sparks. For this reading journal I branched out some by not reading another book in the Pretty Little Liars series. This book is about the love story of Travis Parker and Gabby Holland. Gabby has just moved next to Travis and at first they do not get along well. The beginning of their interactions start when Gabby storms over to his house and accuses his dog of getting her dog pregnant. Without either of them realizing it, this is…

The consequences for committing sex crimes are very serious and knows no boundaries for the offenders who commit the act. In Father Flynn’s case there was no such consequence, in fact more like a commencement for him to start a new path elsewhere, leaving Father Flynn with as little to no suffrage to repent upon his actions. Even if his reason for committing the act was to provide comfort or security to Donald Muller, Father Flynn is guilty for molesting a child under the age of 18 years and…

moon and the stars. We would hang out at my house and watch movies with my siblings, we took walks through the park, played in the rain, jump fences and even I started to going to church with his family. Everything seem so perfect just like in Nicholas sparks Movies .I was surrounded by Christian people all the time so I classified myself as a Christian too. Mark and I got nominated as the cutest couple in the yearbook. The last day of our freshman year Mark’s peers decided to skip class and go…

"Love is like the wind, you can't see it, but you can feel it." This quote by Nicholas Sparks demonstrates concepts in J.D. Salinger’s novel, The Catcher in the Rye, because love is an abstraction of which is difficult to comprehend and obtain. The novel itself is composed of Holden Caulfield's three-day journey to New York City after being kicked out of Pencey which is a preparatory school his parents sent him to. In this colossal city he encounters many new as well as old acquaintances, and…

“For never was a story of more woe / Than this of Juliet and her Romeo” (5.39-310). As the last line of the famous Shakespearean play, Romeo and Juliet suggests, a very eventful plot took place. From the moment Romeo laid eyes on Juliet, he knew he was in love, and when he realized she felt the same way,-although Juliet was to have an arranged marriage with Paris-, they decide to get married without her parents knowledge or approval. The story is filled with hatred as the two are from opposing…

Disputes between countries and its allies led to the devastating effect on the Eastern nations. While there were many causes that led to the war, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, by a Serb nationalist, Gavrilo Princip was the final spark that triggered WWI. The Austrians saw the murder as a perfect pretext to crush Serbia. The four years of the Great War resulted in unprecedented levels of carnage and destruction. The grueling trench warfare and the introduction of modern weaponry…

the legal system of their own state or country and safer in their own lives. Also, it can allow members of the community to feel as if their opinions and views on crimes are valued by the government and legal system. .
