This book is important for several different reasons. Good books are ones that people can relate to, whether it be related to the reader's personal experiences or to historical events, etc. The setting of this book is around the Great Depression/ Industrial Revolution. This is an important time in the history of our country, and one that many people know a great deal about, especially those who have lived during this time.
The author of this book, Nicholas Sparks, is a well known writer who has many love stories. Having a well known author makes a book important because many people read all books from a favorite author of theirs. One of the things that make this book important is its connection to a universal "real world" experience. Everybody has loved someone before, and that may be what is so intriguing about romance novels. They all follow a similar plot line, but are unique in their own way, and they all show a new take or perspective on love, relationships, and what people mean to us.
I have read The Notebook and I absolutely loved it. I think that the book is so much better than the movie. Do you think that the theme of the book is important or do you think that because it is Nicholas Sparks, the book is more important?
ReplyDeleteI read the notebook plenty of times it is one of my favorites. What part do you think is the turning part in the plot? Do you think there is multiple themes to the book?
