I believe the climax is when Ronnie meets Will because that is one of the main points of the story, but I know from watching the movie that there is another main point that I didn’t read yet. The rising action is when Ronnie and her brother first arrive at their father’s house. The exposition is when Ronnie, her family, the setting, and her conflict are introduced. I also started comparing the movie and the book from what I read. After reading, I thought about all the literary elements I wrote down. I didn’t finish the book yet, but I used after reading strategies on the part that I read. I also used what I knew from the movie and the author’s descriptive language to visualize parts from the book. While reading I used post-it’s to find any figurative language, literary elements, and plot features. For example, A Walk to Remember, Dear John, and The Notebook. Also, I knew this book would be good because some other books Nicholas Sparks wrote were made into movies that I loved. Since I recently abandoned a book, I made sure this book would be better by reading the reviews and noticed how they were all positive. My purpose for reading was for my reader’s journal, my book a week challenge, and since this book was made into a movie, to see if it was similar to the movie. Before I starting reading, I set a purpose. I used many strategies before, during, and after reading sections of this book.
