A Walk To Remember
A Walk To Remember, 240 pages, Nicholas Sparks, 1999 God can work in many ways that people don't understand. The fictional writing of the book, A Walk To Remember, is an insight into the life and the meaning of love. The book has made up events and characters but there are similarities to someone's life that the author might have been connected to.

Such a book like this one really targets a particular group of people. I believe that this book is directed and addressed to high school students. I am not saying that someone of another age would not enjoy this book. The writing, and expressing of how Landon went through his high school years judging and critizing Jamie, shows that when he felt the connection between them, it was true. This book shows the true meaning of loving someone with all of your heart. Today many teenagers tell one another, be it a boyfriend or girlfriend, that they love one another. How do they really know if they love each other? Do they, or are they just wanting to feel older and fit in? The illustration of how Landon feels for Jamie shows how you feel about someone when you truly love him or her. Another example of how it is directed towards high school students is that it shows the meaning of true beauty. Beauty is only skin deep. Yes, Landon did not think that Jamie was the prettiest girl at first, but when he got to know her, and see how beautiful she was on the inside, she became a true "angel"� to him. What I am trying to say is that even though high school students usually look first for the prettiest girlfriend or the most handsome boyfriend to go out with, there is more to loving someone than the way they look. You should love them for the way they treat you and how beautiful they are on the inside, as well as the out. That's how Landon grew to feel about Jamie.

This book was written by author, Nicholas Sparks, from the inspiration of his sister's life and courage. All the trials and tribulations that occur in the book didn't

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting. I don’t particularly relate to this book, although situations that I’ve endured have changed my perspective on life, in a positive aspect, and made me unprejudiced and versatile and not so…

    Literature is an art form unlike any other, with a special ability to allow us to peer into the lives of others. In turn, we then are able to peer into the lives of these characters, revealing a more nuanced, complex portrait of human nature. The two books, Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison and Such a Long Journey by Rohinton Mistry both allow the reader to experience this complexity, by contrasting the characters reactions to the extraordinary and mundane events in their lives. By doing so, they both provide the same insight into human nature: the key to achieving one’s dreams is balance, and it is only by accepting the complexity of one’s own life, that one truly gets what they desire.…

    An obstetric fistula is a condition in which a hole develops between the bladder and vagina or rectum and vagina due to loss of blood supply to the surrounding mucosal tissues. Usually, the causes are attributed to prolonged labor due to small pelvic cavity that hinders development causing the baby to press against the tissues and resulting in inadequate blood profusion and necrosis of the surrounding tissues. Other factors include rape/sexual abuse, surgical trauma, cancer, poorly performed abortions, and pelvic fractures. The prominence of fistulas occurs in poor and underdeveloped countries that do not readily have access to healthcare especially when the above circumstances occur. The women usually wait months to years to address health issues due to work and inability to travel long distances to seek out medical aid. Some of the biological and social factors that contribute to the number of fistula patients especially among women are the age of the female, the inadequate knowledge of seeking medical aide, and the lack or inability to seek out medical attention so readily. The age contributes to the fistula rise because younger women are getting pregnant and the baby is not able to handle the conditions of birth in such a small and tight body frame. The lack of nutrition and constant hard work and labor contribute to the unhealthy and inadequate body frames of these young women. The inadequate knowledge of what happens when the baby is stillborn, the complications that arise, and the fact that medical personnel do not assist during this process contribute to the poor knowledge that if was instilled to begin with, would allow immediate medical care to these women. The poor communities usually have mothers and midwife pregnancy conditions that are not scientific in nature but simply a provided assistance to deliver the baby. Therefore, women are unaware of why babies are born stillborn and assume it is a…

    Journeys are a multi-faceted concept which can result in both positive and negative outcomes. “A Righteous Day” (1988) by Mudrooroo and “A Road Not Taken” (1916), both explore an inner journey as an implication of a physical journey. Composers of both poems have effectively articulated this inner self-realisation through a variety of language devices.…

Readers learn that life is short, difficult, and sometimes has more challenges than one would think, but in the long run, it’s all worth it.…

Jesse is argumentative, and regards his parents…
