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

He considered Scripture to be primary with the remaining three factors holding complimentary roles. When studying Christian theology, we are to use the other components of the quadrilateral to assess how scripture addresses a specific question. With the Bible as the final test, Scripture is most important and it is how God reveals Himself to us.

  • Analysis of Jeffery Rosen's: The Naked Crowd

    Rosen makes the argument that people surrender all privacy through “self-revelation” (Rosen), they destroy their privacy to fit in with society and to join the naked crowd. Rosen defines social media as a place where people surrender privacy to “achieve trust through self-exposure” (Rosen). In his eyes, people are simply giving away privacy to become transparent within society. I believe that people are actually exchanging one type of power for another. Foucault’s complex analysis of power can be simplified into “Power is everywhere” (Foucault). People exchange the power of privacy for the power of connection. The author of the journal article agrees with the exchange of power, “Trust is indeed achieved within Facebook in the way Rosen argues; however, this trust is the product of an exchange of power.” (Brittany). Social media allows us to connect instantly with people all over the world. As with any situation, humans assess the risk factors and the benefits of any decision they have to make, they will...

  • The Heart Essay

    675 Words  | 2 Pages

    The heart is a very important organ in the body. It’s around the size of someone’s hand closed up together in a fist and is located in the chest between the lungs. The main purpose of the heart is to pump blood around the body ( The Structure of the Heart). The heart consists of epicardium, myocardium, and endocardium layers that protect its walls. The epicardium is the membrane of the external heart surface. The endocardium lines the interior portion of the chambers in the heart. Lastly, between these two layers and the thickest, the myocardium is made of cardiac muscles and performs the work of the heart. Collagenous and elastic fibers between the hearts walls and chambers are called fibrous skeleton (Anatomy and Physiology pg.717- 718). It functions as a structural supporter and provides electrical insulation between the atria and ventricles. This is important for timing and coordination of electrical and contractile activity.

  • Human Heart Essay

    The human heart is one, if not the most, vital organ in the human body. The heart pumps blood through the circulatory system. It is what provides the body with oxygen and nutrients. Of course, without this important, muscular, organ there would be no way to survive. “Everyday your heart beats about 100,000 times, sending 2,000 gallons of blood surging through your body. Although it is no bigger than your fist, your heart has a mighty job of keeping blood flowing through 60,000 miles of blood vessels that feed your organs and tissues” (Watson n.pag.). Any type of damage or restriction to the heart or its valves can reduce pumping. Cardiovascular diseases are examples that cause damage to the heart and blood vessels. Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death globally, accounting for thirty percent of deaths. Since the heart has such an important role in the human body, it is critical that it is functioning and working properly. An important medical test used to observe the heart is called transesophageal echocardiography, also known as TEE.
