Summer Reading Post 2

In my book The Lucky One each character has a certain desire, for instance Logan has a desire to speak up about the picture he found and tell her why he is actually there, he has the guts to start falling for her but doesn’t having any to get the truth out. Another desire Beth wants is to not get hurt by guys anymore and just live a happy life with her son Ben, she hopes to find “the one” and wants to have happiness in her life. The theme I think the book has is true love brings happiness out of people. I believe this is the theme because Beth is in an unhappy state of mind because of her brother dying and having a busy business to run and then Logan comes along, he helps everything fall into place and the pieces start to fit, Beth and her family indulge happiness into their life when Logan comes along and it lifts a weight off of Beth’s shoulders. For the structure of the book, the author made each chapter about a different main character, each chapter shows the point of view that character has and how they are feeling about situations and things happening within the book. Everything about this book is well thought out and I happy with the way it is going.

The book I am reading currently is The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks. This book is the kind of book I read, I like these book because they are in my comfort zone, even though I should go out of my comfort I like having books that I actually will finish. The major characters in my book are Beth the mom, Logan the strange guy, the son Ben, the grandma Nana and the ex-husband Keith. The characters play a huge role in the book and make the book the way it is and I love the author for doing that. The setting of the book is in Hampton, North Carolina. Another setting is Beth’s house, they are there a lot because Logan gets a job there and the whole family lives there. Also Logan’s house is one of the settings him and Beth go there sometimes and he works on the house to fix it up. For the end the book I am predicting that something bad will happen because usually the whole beginning is good and everything is happy, but then something unexpected happens, so I am preparing myself for that. My question for the author is why he chose to make Logan and the brother related in a way? The book is continuing to impress me and I hope the ending goes well.

I wanted to blog about my favorite chapter so far in my book The Lucky One. My favorite chapter has to be when Beth is talking, because it is the most truthful, and thought out I think. She doesn't know what to think of Logan so far, she is skeptical. I like that she is thinking about it a lot and starting to realize that she does like him a little. She likes the little things he does, like how he calls her Elizabeth instead of Beth, and when he lifts the dog food to carry it into the barn. She realizes he isn't like the others at all, and she likes that about him a lot. I also like how smoothly it flows, if that makes sense. The author didn't make choppy and not understandable, it is simply, and relatable for lots of people. The author I guess takes things slowly and explain little details about Beth, like how she is feeling, how she handling situations. It's the little things in books that make them so good and special.

About My Author

My author is Nicholas Sparks. Im really admiring his books, they all have there own special difference in them. I want to show a video of him that has him talking about the book I'm reading right now The Lucky One. He talks about why he wrote it, and what inspires him. This interview makes me understand him better as an author and I liked all the questions that were asked.

I am reading The Lucky One by: Nicholas Sparks, I want to share some things that I would change. I saw this movie and loved it so much, right now the book is not what I thought, I mean I know books usually have more detail than movies, or the movie would be super long. Some of the details in the book I like but there are some that are just there to be there I feel like. I would change the part about how Beth's nana leaves town to visit her sister, and Ben (the son) goes to his dads leaving Beth and Logan alone, that didn't happen in the movie, and I feel like it isn't important. There are other details that were not in the book that were in the movie that I thought made the movie so good like when Beth is annoyed with Logan, and ends up admiring him working while she is making dinner, I think little things like that make it cute but that part wasn't in the book. Overall I think the book is pretty much meeting my standards of the movie, but we will see how it ends.

I just finished my book At First Sight by: Nicholas Sparks, and I truly did like the book, I thought I wouldn't like it and I did. I am glad I finished it and it turned out to be a book I enjoyed. I am starting and new book The Lucky One by: Nicholas Sparks, I did start reading this book last trimester just a little and I want to finish it. I have seen the movie plenty of times and I hope the book meets my expectation of being like the movie. Books seem to be more detailed than movies, that's why I think it is better to read a book before seeing the movie, but I like to compare the book and the movies to see what things they have that are similar and the things they have that are different. This is the second book I have read that has been made into a movie and I want to read more books that have been made into movies, because I like having the chance to rate how well the movie really captures the book. I'm looking forward to finishing this book and seeing how well it is similar to the movie.
