Unfortunate Events Nicholas Sparks’s film, Dear John, is based on a love story. The movie revolves around two main characters, Savannah Curtis played by Amanda Seyfried, a college student and John Tyree acted by Channing Tatum, who is an army special force. If a character dies in a Nicholas Sparks movie I don’t think that qualifies as being a spoiler. The beginning of their romance starts off at a pier when Savannah’s purse falls into the water and John jumps from the top of the pier to retrieve it for her. That ignited the start of a two weeks romance that changed their lives for the better and for the worst. They did everything together; they shared their wildest dreams and their biggest fears. Summer quickly came to an end and they …show more content…

A higher power serves a rock for most people. It is someone they can lean on when there is no one else. John served as that rock for many wounded soldiers and each one of them will remember him because of
John Wade is an odd character in this novel as he goes through dramatic shifts in his life. Before the My Lai uncovering, John was seen as a respectable guy.

John would “wake up in the middle of the night screaming sometimes” (29). This was an indication that there were problems he was dealing with, and he was. John's depressing childhood and horrors of the My Lai incident eventually consumed him. John's childhood was rough because he had an abusive father which evidently, has s...

When John sees his dad at the store, his internal conflict develops and this leads to his conflict with Grace. People in relationships tend to get into arguments with each other. It is a very realistic representation of his character. It would be unrealistic if a couple never argues. He accuses her of being a snob and this leads to the argument which is revealed when the narrator says, “They had never talked in this way, and now they were both quickly eager to hurt each other” (4). This illustrates that they were growing as a couple and were opening up to each other about their feelings. John finally lets his inner anger out on Grace and shows that he cares about her opinion on different matters such as how she views people from lower social class (3). John is a hypocrite since he calls Grace a snob when in reality he, himself is a snob because he is embarrassed of his dad’s lower social status. He is assuming that Grace would not like to be associated with him after finding out the truth. This is shown when he asks Grace, “You don 't like the kind of people you bump into here, … he asks recklessly, full of a savage eagerness to hurt her” (3). He is being naive for forcing his anger on Grace and not realizing the reason that is causing it. People tend to make foolish decisions when they are angry; likewise, John is trying to hurt Grace because he thinks he
