The Notebook

The Notebook is one of my favourite movies. I have read one of his novels The Lucky One, and watched two movies written by him The Notebook and A Walk to Remember. Each story is beautiful love story, but in each story conflict was encountered.

The Notebook is a story about about Allie, brought up in a rich family, with parents who put a lot of pressure on her to go to university and become very successful just like themselves. Allie meets a boy, Noah , in a much lower economic status than herself, and, after a lot of convincing from Noah, they fall in love (Much to Allie's parent's disgust). Allie's Parents realize Noah does not have the same economic stability as they have. They say Noah is "trash! trash! trash! Not for you!", they didn't want their daughter to throw all their effort away on a "summer romance". In order to get rid of their problem they decided to leave town giving Allie no opportunity to say goodbye to her first love.
After leaving town, Allie's parents watched her cry herself to sleep for weeks, and didn't inform Allie of the letters Noah had sent her everyday for a year. All this was because Noah didn't earn the same amout of money as they did. After many fights with her parents, and even getting engaged to another man. Allie and Noah found each other again and lived happily ever after.
