The Notebook Social Class

The Notebook During World War II a love between two social classes was something parents didn’t agree to. It wasn’t completely the parents’ choice, but they still did pretty much anything to prevent it from happening. The Notebook comes from the novel written by Nicholas Sparks. It is a story of a girl born into a wealthy, upper class family, and a boy from a not-so-wealthy middle class family who fall in love but are torn apart because of social class. What I like about this movie is how it can capture all types of audiences by the love between the teenagers and the struggles they face because of it. When Allie’s parents saw how much she was falling for Noah, they forced her to transfer to a college a lot farther than anyone had planned.
I know most guys don’t like love stories or “girly movies” but I know a lot of guys who love this movie. Everything in the movie just connects with the person and it makes you think to yourself, “would I do that?” or “what if I had someone who loved me like that?” The Notebook goes into when they meet again after seven years and how their love just rekindles itself because it was so strong. It continues through the end when Noah reads to Allie everyday at the retirement home and Allie has Alzheimer's so he tries to use the story of their life that Allie wrote to get her to remember. Through it all, in the end, she starts to remember and they fall asleep together and pass in each others’ arms. The parts in the movie when it transitions back to when they’re older in the retirement home, it really made me think of my grandparents. My grandfather died about ten years ago but when I was little I remember how close they were, how they always held hands and danced together in public. They had been together since my grandmother was 16 and in the movie Noah and Allie met when they were about 18. Many people would be able to relate to this just by having grandparents and seeing them
