Reflection Of Dear John

Approximately three years ago, my friend had hit rock bottom in her relationships with guys. She had just removed herself from a bad relationship, and needed space to herself. But after meeting one guy, it changed her mindset of what she had thought previously. Dear John by Nicholas Sparks is an astonishing and remarkable novel about a male individual changing the life of a young girl in the matter of just two weeks. The equivalently titled movie directed by Lasse Hallström, is decent as well but there are a few aspects I prefer in the novel. Comprehensively, the book is morally superior because of the extensive details that take place. The internal thoughts of John help create the story and helps in the sense of a relationship from the characters

The novel practically begins with John enlisting in the army after his rough time as a teenager. John stops speaking with his father considering coins are all his father wants to talk about, and this begins the small talk between John and his father. John grants a leave from the army and visits home in New Wilmington, North Carolina. He flashes back to his time at home, and is determined to find something to do rather than spend time with his father that just ignores him. As John walks along the beach, he catches a glimpse of a girl and then her purse drops into the ocean. Not once did he think before jumping into the water to retrieve it; and it was not to impress her. John wanted to make a new mark on the town as the favorable samaritan that helped someone. Savannah invited him to join for dinner, and that’s where the start of their relationship begins. As it progresses over his two week leave, they devote a lot of their time to each other to get to know one another. She not only encourages him to be the best he can be, but also helps him assist with his father that was recently diagnosed with autism. Because John has to report back to Afghanistan for the army, Savannah promises she would send handwritten letters to John. Letters later, John received another

It’s a lot clearer, and is certainly eloquent. I have a sense that the book is the precise story, and the experience of watching the film didn 't go as well as I hoped. Nicholas Sparks took his time in describing the plot in a detailed manner, and this made me appreciate his writing and feel the positive impact of the characters myself. I not only admired his descriptive manner, but also the certain situations where I couldn’t put the novel down. For example, when gaining knowledge about John’s time in the army, I wondered how he was able to leave Savannah and his family behind over a lengthy duration. Dear John was absolutely a page turner, and I personally couldn’t bring myself to set it down after reading more than half of the novel in one
