Reading The Notebook made
me realize a pattern in all of the other Nicholas Sparks books. The
similarities are more within the plot line with characters and settings more
than the little details. As I've noticed, Nicholas Sparks' books always happen
to be set in North Carolina, some place by water, and particularly about a
summer romance. The main two characters being a boy and girl, one of them
happens to be coming from a family with money, high-class, and choosy parents,
like the character Allie in The Notebook. Another character happens to be
coming from a single-parent home with not as much money and not as prestigious,
describing Noah, another main character of the book.
In between their summer romance, there comes a climax in the story from
when the two are so happily in love, to being disturbed by what I found it to
usually be from the home where the set of parents are, which refers to Allie's
parents in The Notebook. Another interesting pattern I noticed was that the
single-parent figure ends up passing away. It is also when the two lovers have
broken up in some sort of way, like how when Allie comes back to her hometown
with her fiancé to find out that Noah’s dad passed away. When I think about it, it is just a
repetitive theme of the author Nicholas Spark, which I love noticing and
comparing the connections.
