a walk to remember

*****A Walk to Remember is one of the most romantic novels of all time. It is about two teenagers who take part in a play together and end up falling in love. Jamie Sullivan and Landon Carter are the main characters. Jamie is the ministers’ daughter. Her mother died while giving birth to her. Jamie has such a strong and amazing relationship with her father. She is very religious and plain. She always wore the same sweater with her hair up. She never wore a touch of makeup. All Jamie she ever does is volunteer her time to help everyone with everything and anything. She is very giving and generous. Jamie always puts everyone before herself. She is not very popular and everyone thinks she is strange, because of her kindness. She is always happy no matter what. Then there’s Landon. He is the congressman’s son. He comes from a wealthy family, yet he doesn’t have a great relationship with his dad. His dad is always away working and when he comes around he doesn’t have much time to bond with Landon. He pretty much isn’t there for Landon as he goes through high school. Landon is outgoing and everyone knows who he is. He is pretty much friends with all the people he goes to school with. He can be inconsiderate and cocky to a point where you just want to slap him. He doesn’t really care about anything. He does average in school, but he isn’t exactly the smartest person, yet he gets by. As you can see already these two characters are completely different. In fact they are the exact opposite. You know they always say that opposites attract and that’s what happened between Jamie and Landon.Well Landon decides to take a theatrical class because it’s his senior year and he didn’t want to have to take a class that’s going to be hard work. This class was very hard and anyone who took this class had to take it seriously. Landon never takes things seriously, but he ended up taking this class seriously. Landon had the main role in the play. He knew he had to rehearse a ton because he didn’t know any of his lines. At first Jamie and Landon wouldn’t even speak to each other. Landon was too ashamed to be seen with Jamie. They realized that they really needed to learn the lines together because the play was coming up. Well, Jamie of course already knew her lines, she pretty much knows everything, yet she continued to rehearse with him. So they rehearsed and everything started to come along well. Before they knew it, it was already the night of the play. Many people showed up to see this play. It was a very popular play that was written by Jamie’s Father, Reverend Hugbert. Anyways, the play was going fantastic and Jamie’s part was coming up soon. Jamie then came on stage and Landon just stared at her and was in complete shock. She was wearing a long pretty white dress and her hair was down and she was actually wearing makeup. She looked beautiful. Landon couldn’t believe his eyes. He never pictured Jamie looking stunning at any point in his life. He pretty much thought it was impossible. A while back there was this one line in the play that Landon had to say and actually mean it. He could never say it with the right tone. His line was to Jamie and read, “you’re beautiful” Well tonight he didn’t even hesitate. When his part came up he looked her right in the eye and said “you’re beautiful.” He said his line perfectly and actually meant it.From there on the both of them started to spend more time together. They would go to the orphanage that Jamie volunteered at or each other's houses for dinner. They began to fall in love fast. Landon admits he would've never guessed falling in love with Jamie Sullivan, but it happened and there was nothing he could do about it. The more time they spent with each other the more they fell in love. Well one night Jamie was trying to tell Landon something very important. He knew that Jamie was being serious and he was listening to what she had to say. Jamie couldn't figure out to tell him that she was sick, but she finally did. Jamie was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. Landon was completely devastated and heart broken. He knew he was losing the one he loved the most. They tried to move on and live their lives like they normally would together. Landon knew he had to do something that he’s been wanting to do to prove his love for her. Landon proposed to her. He wanted to get married to her before he lost her. So they did get married in a church with a lot of people, just like Jamie wanted. She eventually passed a little after their wedding. Landon is now 57 years old and he is the narrator of this story. He still loves her just as much as he once did, and always will. Jamie lived her live to the fullest. She was Landon's miracle. He will always miss and love her no matter what. They had such unconditional and true love that will never fade away.
I thought this book was absolutely amazing. It definitely kept me interested and I’m sure will do the same for others. I love romantic novels and this was one of the best that I have read. I recommend this book to everyone because it is enjoyable. It also teaches you a lesson. The lesson is that you shouldn’t judge people when you don’t even know them. You should take the time to know them and you’ll realize what you’ve been missing out on. If you like a person you should always tell them, because they just might end up having feelings for you too.
