A Walk to Remember - The Human Heart

A Walk to Remember, by Nicholas Sparks take you on a whirl wind journey into the depths of the human heart, and leads Landon, one of the main characters, to a decision so stunning it would lead him irrevocably on the road to manhood. Landon the most popular boy in Beuford High and fall's
> unexpectedly in love with Jamie, and unpopular, bible-bearing girl. It was kismet that brought these two together, and an incurable disease that would tear them apart. Landon had recently broken up with his girlfriend of
1-1/2 years and it was a twist of fate that make Jamie his date for the homecoming dance. They went to the dance and did not speak to each other until they were both cast a the lead in the towns Christmas play. After the play was over
Landon found himself wanting, and being with Jamie everyday, he was falling in love with her. Then came the shock of his life, Jamie revealed to him that she had Lucima. Landon was torn apart and had no idea what to do, so he turned to the bible for guidance and help. He made the decision that he loved Jamie too much to let her dreams slip away, so he asked her to marry him.
They were married on March 12,1959. She died shortly after that, but he never forgot her. Landon and Jamie are the too main characters in the book.
Landon is the richest, most popular boy at Beuford High, and Jamie is poor, unpopular and almost nonexistent at school. Jamie helps out at the orphanage, picks up hurt animals, and carries a bible with her every where. Whereas
Landon has never even thought of people without a home or money and he only opens a bible when he has to at church.
In my opinion Landon is a normal teenage boy, who's only concerns are: girls and cars. I think that Jamie helped him see how powerful the bible is and how it feels good to help people in need.
This book takes place in Beuford, a town in North Carolina.
There was a lot of foreshadowing in the book but the one that stands out the most is when Landon asked Jamie to the dance and she thinks for a

  • Military Draft No longer Necessary

    1749 Words  | 4 Pages

    Over forty years has passed since the United States inducted the last draftee through the Selective Service System. The Selective Service System is an independent agency of the United States, which gives the President the right or power to conscript men for military service. There have been different Acts passed by congress since 1917 that require men of various ages to register for service. Although, the name of each Act and the age requirements of the registries changed, the Acts were all similar in nature. They all gave the President the right to call men to war when he deemed necessary. In January 1973, Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird announced the creation of the all-volunteer service, retracting the need for the draft (GAO.gov). Under current law, all men between the ages of 18-25 must register within 30 days of their 18th birthday, however this information is used mostly for recruitment purposes and in case of any future crisis. There has been much controversy over this matter since the Vietnam War, when people started to realize the draft was unfair due to loopholes and draft exemptions making the draft unfair for working men. At one point in time the military draft may have been necessary, but today’s all-volunteer military has eliminated the need for a draft.

    There are hundreds of thousands of children who are in foster care and need a home with a family who will love and care for them. Families lead by same-sex couples are viewed as “non-traditional households” and these parents raise their children in very much the same ways as heterosexual parents. These children grow with their adoptive families and if their parents have a stable relationship with each other and with their adoptive children, and have great support systems, then it should not be difficult for those children to thrive in the world as children of gay/lesbian parents.
