Dear Mrs Zrihen,
This week I finished reading my first book "The Last Song" by Nicolas Sparks. I used many strategies this week, all my before strategies I used two weeks ago when I first started the book, While reading I skimmed and scanned through the book for text features, I found capitalized and italized words. After finishing my book I reviewed all my notes from last week and made sure I understood all the parts I wrote down that I wasn't so sure about.
The genre of this book is Realistic fiction / Romance, since it is a romantic story but could happen in real life, but the characters are made up. Now that I am done with the book I can finally identify the characterization, Motive, Ronnie in the beginning was a goth teenager and wasn't shy like most, she looks outgoing but with no motivation. Ronnie looks like she needs help in some way she doesn't like to tell us how, but as a reader that when the post its help, From the notes I took in the first 2 chapters to the last 2 chapters Ronnie changed A LOT. I figured out what was hurting Ronnie, Her dad. Her parents. Her parents not being together, not living together. I agree with her, it would of been killing me on the inside too. Ronnie just doesn't like to show it but she was really hurt.
The Protagonist in this book was Ronnie, will and her family. The antagonist which was blaze in the first half of the book is no longer an antagonist, since she apologized to Ronnie and there friends now. The setting of this book is Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina. The book was based on a love story in the summertime, which was very hot just like any other beach, The authors tone was very excited and very sad at the end, in my opinion the book couldn't of ended in a more worse way. No one expected her dad to die, at least i didn't. My mood was very surprised, and sad that I started crying with the book. This book still has the same moral, family comes first, there the only people that will be by your side FOREVER. Don't waste your time like Ronnie and notice it way to late. The authors point of view is second person, The authors purpose was to entertain a summer romance. The pattern of organization is spatial, since they tell us there exact location.
The exposition of this book is when Ronnie first arrived to Wrightsville beach, and started fighting with her dad. The Rising action is when Ronnie first starts dating will, that definitely kept me reading the book! After that, The Climax which is the highest or most important event in the book is when Ronnie Made up with her dad and finally stopped fighting, The falling action was sadly that Ronnie found out her dad has being lying to her and he’s being diagnosed with breast cancer, The resolution is Ronnie got accepted to a good college in Boston, right after her dad past away, This book was also called the last song since at the funeral Ronnie played the last song her dad has played on the piano.
I rate this book a 9 out of 10 because the ending really did disappoint me, i was looking forward to an happy ending and i got the total opposite. I recommend this book to all the girls and maybe guys that love to read sad books and romance !
Love,
Your Student,
