Point of View

Authors Note: This piece is to show my understanding of making predictions, but using the book The Notebook. Note this may also give away some parts in the book if you haven’t read it.

Do you like love stories? Well if you do, then The Notebook is the book for you. Ali and Noah, the two main characters in the book go through a long journey just to be in love with each other. Would you do go through that just to be with the person that you love?

First, the book starts out with Noah and Ali meeting and having a connection right away. They would always be with each other until Ali’s mother found out that she was seeing a boy that didn’t fit their life style. Ali, then moved with her parents, and the only way she could then stay in touch with Noah was if she wrote to him. But she never got the chance to because she wanted him to write first. Ali never got a letter because her mother would take them and never give them to her. So, Ali and Noah went on their lives without each other, but not for much longer. Even though Ali was getting ready to marry, she still wondered about Noah. Noah had recently fixed up a old beat up house that he always said that he was going to with or without Ali. He had a column in the paper talking about him rebuilding the house that Ali and he ran away to.Ali had seen it and then knew where to find him. So, she went to the house and Noah couldn’t believe that Ali was there. She knew why she wanted to go but once she got there she regretted it at first. Ali finally told Noah that she was getting ready to marry a guy named Lon that her mother thought fitted her life style better.

I think that Ali will leave Jon for Noah because after she goes to visit Noah she realizes that she still loves him. Even though Ali’s mother doesn’t think that Noah is the right guy for her she will ignore her and go with what her heart says to. The reason I think this is because when Ali went to visit Noah she noticed how good life would be with him. She wouldn’t have to be someone that she’s not, with Lon. In the end I think Ali’s mother will be upset with her but then realize that she wants the best for her daughter. Also, in the end I think that Ali and Noah will get married but have conflicts with Ali’s ex Lon.

Lastly, be the person you want to be and make the decisions that you want to make. Just like I think Ali is going to do in the end of the book. Even though this might not happen this is the prediction I think makes the most sense from what I have read so far.
