QUESTION 1: How did what you read today make you feel? Why?

RESPONSE 1: What I read today made me feel happy and sad at the same time. I was happy because the character in the book named Allie went back to visit her first love. The talked all night about everything that had happened between the fourteen years they had without seeing one another. They were laughing and having so much fun like the old days. What had made me sad was that Allie was engaged to a rich man named Lon. Allie and Noah both still loved each other so much, and it was sad that they weren’t together anymore. It was also sad because Noah was left alone when Allie is engaged to a man when she still loves Noah.


QUESTION 2: What do you think about a particular character's actions? Was he/she right or wrong to do that?

RESPONSE 2: I really like what Allie is doing in this book.I think that what she is doing is right, nut wrong at the same time, because she really loves Noah. Allie went to Noah’s house after 14 years when she saw his picture in the local newspaper for building his dream house. They both still loved each other and I think it was very smart for Allie to go to his house. She had a lot of courage and strength to go and show up at Noah’s house out of the blue even though she is engaged.
