For the second time, I read the novel, The Notebook. Honestly, I do not know why but I sort of like the movie better than the book. Maybe it is because the movie has much more dramatic events in it. However, this book is also quite amazing. I think I actually felt the passion of love between the two characters, Noah and Allie. Noah...he's just my favorite character. I have never seen anyone so devoted and romantic as him. He is a sweetheart, the kind I want to marry. I love the quote in page 164 when Noah tells Allie who she is (because she has alzheimers and can't remember and is lost....etc). He says, "You are Hannah, a lover of life, a strength to those who shared in you friendships. You are a dream, a creator of happiness, an artist who has touched a thousand souls. You've led a full life and wanted for nothing because your needs are spiritual and you have only to look inside you. You are kind and loyal, and you are able to see beauty where others do not. You are a teacher of wonderful lessons, a dreamer of better things."
I just wonder how a man could come up with such words? It was so touching that I read it over and over again.
Another section of this book I adore is the letters from Noah to Allie and Allie to Noah. They just love each other so much! And they raised their children so well! Their love story is just so amazing starting from when they first met. The letters describe what they mean to each other and how special their past is. I am so jealous of the thought that these two people, so old, could adore each other so much. This book inspired me so much. I realized that I too, should marry a man that really loves me so that we could grow old with grace, just like Noah and Allie. In Korea, I have seen many grandparents who grew old with laziness, annoyance, hatred, and absoultely no love. Some men, I can just see from their eyes and words, do not even love their wives. However, Noah and Allie represent the contrary that everyone should follow.
