The Author made Noah sound frustrated and annoyed but stern, by the fact that Allie could not decide between leaving or staying with Noah. The author shows that Noah’s attitude changes when he is talking to Allie and he says “So, it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. We're gonna have to work at this every day, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? Thirty years from now, forty years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him- go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again, if I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out.” Which shows how Noah’s attitude shifts and how he wants her to do what she
As much as generous and honest Nick Carraway is, he still needs a few important improvements in himself. Nick went to Yale, fought in world war one and moved to East of New York to work in finance. After moving to New York, Nick faces tough dilemmas throughout the story such as revealing secrets, and witnessing betrayal. His innocence and malevolence toward others was beyond his control. He did not have the ability or knowledge to know what he should have done in the spots he was set in. He seemed lost and having no control of what went on- almost trapped- but indeed, he had more control than he could have ever known. Because of the situations he has experienced and the people he has met, such as Gatsby, Tom, Jordan and Daisy, his point of view on the world changed dramatically which is very depressing. Trusting the others and caring for them greatly has put him in a disheartening gloomy position.

His voice rose under the black smoke before the burning wreckage of the island; and infected by that emotion, the other little boys began to shake and sob too. And in the middle of them, with filthy body, matted hair, and unwiped nose, Ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called Piggy (Golding, 290).
Throughout the characters in Kindred the reader is able to determine the emotional endurance of the psychological toll of slavery. The novel gives us examples of what the life of a slave was like. Many slaves would end their life while others seemed to maintain strength to keep their family safe. Whether slaves were able to adjust to their life as a slave or not one thing they all had in common were the struggles they went through daily.
Through the use of concrete language, Fredrick Douglass, relates his readers to the life of a slave while at the same time explaining how one could never understand unless he experiences the hardships of slavery on his own. Fredrick Douglass has such a talent at pulling his readers into the writing and making them envision what is happening, that anyone could fall in love with his writing. An example can be found in,” There I was in the midst of thousands, and yet a perfect stranger…”
Noah reads their love story to Allie everyday in hopes that she will remember him and everything they have experienced together.

After Allies father catches her and Noah making out in the truck, he tells Allie that he wants to have the chance to meet her friend, so he politely asked Allie to invite Noah over Sunday for dinner. While seating at the dinner table, Noah was asked what job he does for a living. After Noah stated that he was a laborer it was pretty clear by their facial expressions (especially her mother’s) that they did not approve of their relationship. Later, Anne makes the statement that “summers almost over” giving her daughter the idea that her and Noah probably will not be seeing each other anymore. Moreover, Anne decided to tell Noah about Allie’s school plans, and how he was not in the plan. Anne believes that their relationship is just a summer fling, or a short-term initial attraction. This scene most certainly relates to chapter nine. Allie was unable to develop her Relationship of Choice simply because they did not find Noah suitable for her, mainly because he was not wealthy.

The Notebook is a very romantic novel for those who enjoy "the yucky love stuff." It isn't good for those who delight in books that are more adventurous because it moves slowly, but at a pace, that still keeps the reader interested.
...c child who is an innocent and has no place in the world of the wicked. His troubled self’s resolution comes at the end after Edmund has spoken to Aslan, the true ruler and god of Narnia. Both Edmunds own initiative and, less directly, religion lead Edmund back to before he was spoiled by the school he went to and the enchantment of the witch’s candy. Lewis therefore is following the Romantic tradition of innocence as a part of childhood since it was not Edmund’s fault he performed the incorrect behavior and was drawn to the side of evil.

Jake seems to be the “mature, stabilizing friend to all,” but his own life is in a mess. Hemingway shared the same characteristics. When he was rejected from the army because of his bad eyesight, he still wanted some adventure in his life. So he decided to be an ambulance driver for the Red Cross. After he was wounded, he helped another injured man find his way to a trench and out of harm. He put other people’s problems ahead of his own, just as his character, Jake, does. Jake symbolizes the steers being put into the ring to calm the bulls. He is put into the rowdy group to help them maintain some order. His true emotions do not show through much. This is one of Jake’s flaws, along with his impotence. As Hemingway was wounded in war, he portrays this in Jake’s character.
Sparks was inspired by his wife’s grandparents, who spent sixty years together, and had a beautiful, yet rare, relationship that withstood the test of time and circumstances. Sparks believes that “true love exists and that there’s evidence of it every day.” (Sparks). The Notebook is a tender story about the everlasting and enduring power of true love between teenagers Noah and Allie, who forge an intense summer romance, and after years of separation caused by class differences find themselves reunited. After a fourteen year separation, Allie returns to visit Noah to determine what it was they shared and why it had such a lasting impact. Allie must make a decision between Lon, the man she promised to marry, and Noah the man she has always loved. As she decides, she thinks to herself, “She wanted something else, something different, something more. Passion and romance, perhaps, or maybe a quiet conversation in candlelit rooms, or perhaps something as simple as not being second.” The theme of love conquers all is the focus as Noah tries to regain Allie’s love and Allie struggles with telling Noah that she’s engaged to another man, yet still is in love with him. The story is told from two different points of view. The first is told in first person as Noah tells of his present life with Allie at Creekside Extended Care Home. The second is told in third person as Noah reads a story from a notebook
