Dear john by nicholas sparks6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It's as if John learns a great lesson about what's important in life and completely forgets at the end. The author never does a great job of tying in John's father's story with John and Savannah's story. At that point, the story gets weird and awkward, and it leaves you feeling like you don't know what you're supposed to have gotten from this. The whole idea breaks down after Savannah writes her Dear John letter and breaks off their relationship. The reality of their situation sets in when he returns, and I was engrossed in the story, which had so much potential. It was poignant in the middle after he returns to Germany for a year and details his letters and phone calls to her and how they tried to keep their love together. The book started out good, with a detailed description into John's past, and the beginning of his love story with Savannah was cute and really sweet. I bought the book because I wanted to read the story before I saw the movie. As a writer myself, it's tough for me to critique another writer's story, but that's exactly what I'm calling into question with Dear John. ![]()

![]() Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction.That which is and that which cannot be are both outside the realm of becoming. Among those in whom the supernatural part of themselves has not been awakened, the atheists are right and the believers wrong. When one speaks to you of unbelievers who are in affliction and accept their affliction as a part of the order of the world, it does not impress you in the same way as if it were a question of Christians and of submission to the will of God. From modern thought to ancient wisdom the path would be short and direct, if one cared to take it. Wrongly or rightly you think that I have a right to the name of Christian. Concern for the symbol has completely disappeared from our science.
