=Morgan K's 9th Grade Book Review=





Have you ever had someone that you love, go away not knowing if they'll ever come back? If so, was there a way you could atleast talk to them? In the book, Dear John, by Nicholoas Sparks, they tell the story of a couple who end up falling in love, but are stuck between fighting for our country, or to love eachother. There is a very thin border between the word love, and these to sure know how to break it. In the book, the boy joins the army straight after highschool, not thinking of what his future is going to be like, and just doing it as an act upon his mind and not from his heart. During one of his breaks he meets the girl that will soon change his life. When they see eachother it is kind of a mutual freindship but by the time its time for him to go back, it leaves her waiting for her love to finish his tour of duty. One of the events that may change the whole world is 9/11. 9/11 was coming and it left him with the choce of love or country? Hmm what should he choose? When fighting for your country knowing there is the love of your life waiting for you at home must be one of the deepest feelings someone could have. Thres always bad thoughts going through your head like will iI ever get to see her again, or will I ever get to go home? And while fighting in a war, and to have yor girlfreind just sitting at home praying her heart out, becasue you are all thats on her mind, is something that wil never leave your soul. Its like a permanent mark thats waiting to soon leave. Another one of the resons why John joined the army was because he didnt have the greatest relationship with his father. His father was very reclusive, and John wanted to straighten out his life.
