The Notebook

For the Friday Entry…

After finishing reading this book, I tried to think what the main, overarching theme was. Many came to mind but the one that stood out the most was ‘True love never ends.”

Noah Calhoun and Allie Nelson truly loved each other, that even after years of separation they were still able to find each other, re-fall in love, and make a future together. They are a perfect example of ‘true love never ends.’

Throughout the first part of the book (before Noah and Allie get married), you read about how Noah never stopped loving Allie. Even after 14 years of being apart, Allie was still in his thoughts and in his heart. You don’t find the same out about Allie, until she visits Noah just weeks before her engagement to Lon. Well, actually I guess you should say Allie didn’t admit that she still loved Noah until after they had been re-united. I also think it was true love that brought Allie to visit Noah just weeks before her engagement. True love reunited them together because that love never ended.

True love is sometimes view as a sappy, inexistence thing. Yet I believe it is a special gift from God to us. And this book really portrays this idea. So I think the main, overarching theme of this book is that: ‘true love never ends.’
