The Notebook Comparison

The story begins with young and pure love between Noah and Allie—Noah is a working class individual, while Allie is an upper class privileged girl. Their stories had many ups and downs from the moment it began. Both characters have different social status, as well as different families and therefore parenting styles. Allie’s parents follow more of an authoritarian parenting style. Which means that they are the sole ones who make decisions regarding anything that has to do with her. She does not have a voice when it comes to deciding what she would like to do. Her parents knew Noah was a good boy but he was not for her since he was not high on the economic ladder. On the other hand Noah’s parents were more authoritative, they made him have a word in regards to his life. They respected his decisions and supported him as well as everyone who was in close circle with him. Allie also has social pressures on her placed by her friends. Social pressures are pressures brought on by society, they are so strong that they cause you to take measures that might not be what you would like. In Allie’s case it would be getting forced into leaving Noah, knowing he was her one and only consummate love. Consummate love is the love we all search for in life. It contains intimacy, passion and commitment. After Allie took this big decision of leaving Noah, both of their lives changed

“It was an improbable romance. He was a country boy. She was from the city. She had the world at her feet, while he didn’t have two dimes to rub together.” In the 2004 movie the Notebook directed by Nick Cassavetes we see an unlikely romance between a rich city girl, Allie Hamilton (Rachel McAdams), and a poor country boy Noah Calhoun (Ryan Gosling). Based on the bestselling book by Nicholas Sparks, the Notebook shows us how relationships change throughout different stages of our lives but love will never diminish.

The different descriptions and dialogues of Allie and Noah are what bring the change into their relationship. In the novel, Noah is described as a quiet and shy poet. “Although he was quiet, years of heavy lifting at the lumberyard helped him excel in sports, … An occasional person found him arrogant; most simply figured he had grown up a bit faster than everyone else.” (Sparks 24) Whereas in the film, Noah is very outgoing and confident. He does not stop until he gets what he wants. This is evident when Noah climbs on the ferris wheel and hangs from the bars at the carnival where he asks Allie to go out with him. She refuses and he blackmails her by making her think that he will fall down from such a height. Allie becomes frightened and agrees to go out with him, little did she know that this was his plan all along. The change in Noah’s description changes his personality and the way the audience views him as an individual character. Allie and Noah’s tone of dialogues are also changed to make them seem more modern. In the book, Allie agrees to spend time with Noah without any objection. “…the four of them stayed at the festival until the crowds were thin and everything closed up for the night. They met the following day, and the day after that, and they soon became inseparable.” (Sparks 13) This circumstance would not exist in today’s society as females have their personal preferences. This is seen in the movie when Allie plays ‘hard to get’ and rejects Noah several times when he reminds her of the date. “‘What are you doing tonight?’ … ‘Why?’ ‘Why? Our date.’ ‘What date?’ ‘The date that you agreed to.’ ‘No!’ ‘Yes, you did. You promised, and you swore it.’ ‘Well, I guess I changed my mind.’ … ‘Come on, one date. What's it gonna hurt?’ ‘Umm..I don't think so.’” (Cassavetes) Noah is also very understanding with Allie’s decision to leave him

Allie came to Seabrook, where Noah live. They met in a carnival and star a summer love. It’s important to say that Allie was a rich girl and Noah was a lumberman, so their family stands between his relationship. Simultaneously, the family of Allie decide to leave Seabrook. In addition, Noah and Allie discuss the night before.

The author writes about young romance, the deteriorating love of Allie and Leah’s parents, and, in my opinion the most important, the sisterly love between Allie and Leah. The two sisters thought life would be so unbearable without each other, that if they were going to die, they had to do it together. Another factor to remember is that sisters fight. I am not even talking about the you-ruined-my-favorite-shirt argument. In this book, something-went-so-wrong-I-went-back-on-our-suicide-pact is far more accurate. Everything is far more spread out for the reader. In fact, the book’s first line already speaks of Leah’s death: “The last thing we did as a family was bury my sister.” (Ramey 1). The reader cannot fully understand Leah and Allie’s relationship until the end of the book. The reader gets small little pieces to try and figure out along with Alie the complex and despairing death of her sister. As for the other love subplots, I feel as the reader does not get enough background information on Allie’s parents to fully scrutinize the situation. As for the romance in Allie’s life, it is a very minor part of the plot that has not developed yet, but I hope the main focus will still be on the love between Allie and

The book The Outsiders was written by S.E. Hinton. The movie was directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The book The Outsiders shows a conflict between two groups, the Greasers and the Socs. Two of the characters Ponyboy and Johnny run into trouble and have to run away from their home. They then hide out from the cops and get themselves into more trouble later in the book.

Ryan Reynolds has been in love with the same girl all his life. When he tried to tell her, he got humiliated. Now, he has moved away, became a successful businessman and tried to forget her. When he takes a trip back home, he realizes he can’t and tries to make her regret not being with him. In doing so, he manages to do the opposite. But, still in the end he may find love. This movie truly is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen Ryan Reynolds in.

“We’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me…everyday.” Sound familiar?

Anna was in denial she ran to cook up supper but fell to the floor and started to cry. Thoughts alarmed her mind she was expecting a child on the third of November only a week away. She remembered her last few moments with Noah this morning. The expecting couple had started their morning with a simple breakfast of sausage and eggs with some orange juice..

Gosling was a great actor in the part of Noah. I could relate to Allie the most because we are both very forgiving. As her and Noah were out in the canoe, she forgave him quickly. We may not know who is meant to be in our lives buy we soon figure it

Lena jerked up when she heard the front door to the apartment open and close. She hastily shut the journal she had found in the bookcase and hid it behind a row of books. While her leg was handcuffed to the bedpost, Dylan had the bed close enough so that she could reach the bookcase so she wouldn't be bored while he was gone. Thankfully, on the other side of the bed, there was a nightstand where Lena found a pen in one of the drawers. The night before, Dylan had taken her to his apartment instead of their original destination, Lena's home. What Lena hadn't known prior was just how obsessed the boy she met online was with her and how devastated he had been when he found out she planned on moving back to Moscow in a few weeks. The day before he took her, Lena told him over the phone that this meeting would be their last, yet Dylan had other plans in store. He wouldn't lose her. “There's no way I'm gonna lose the only thing that means anything to me,” Dylan thought to himself as he set his plan into motion.

As well as disappointment’s, such as Allie’s parent’s dislike of Noah’s financial situation and the reality of what her future might look like. In spite, of the obstacles they faced, and years of separation. Allie and Noah never gave up on their love.

Family plays a very important role in the health, development, and socialization of each individual member that belongs to the family unit. Bozette’s words (as cited in Friedman, Bowden, and Jones, 2003) defines family as “who the patient says it is” (p. 10). This assessment is based on the movie “The notebook” and it illustrates the dramatic love story of two young adolescents that in time overcome the barriers that are brought on by the differences in family dynamics. Through this assessment, the different family dynamics will be depicted in order to understand how these influence each individual character and how they impact the actions and decisions that are made.

Earlier in the semester, I watched The Notebook. The scene I chose for drama is when Allie comes back to visit Noah because she saw him in a newspaper article. This scene happens near the end of the movie because Allie has conflicting emotions and feelings between her future husband and first love, Noah. The drama is high in this scene because Noah is pleading for her love and telling her to make her own choices. I chose this scene because their emotions are on their faces, in their voices, and by the words they choose to use. Furthermore, the scene is very dramatic because Noah is pitching
