Nicholas Sparks has touched me with his books. He is an amazing writer who captivates me in every book of his.
He was born and raised in Nebraska. Then moved to LA, for his dad's job.
He gets many of the ideas about his book from his family life. He is good with writing books about death because he has expirenced it; his mother died at the age of 47, when he was younger. He has written many "Best seller" books, and is widely known around the world for his romantic books.

Literary Element

One literary element is imagery. For example, "As Jonah first approached the deck, he saw the whisping waves crashing against the dampy sand in the back yard. He looked over and saw the peer. Then he shouted,
"DAD! YOU LIVE ON THE BEACH?!"

Another is a smilie. "Ronnie was falling in love. Their love was like an elderly couple sitting on the park bench together; they were always fighting but still shared more love then many people could ever find.

Will Blakelee
The obvious choice for this would most likely be Ronnie but to me, Will is the better choice.
Will is an 18 year rich beach boy who has always lived in the same place. Will is a blue-eyed, bulkey, blond haired, tan heart throb. All the girls in the area are fighting for him. At first though, Ronnie seemed less then not interested in him, so that is what triggered his feelings for her.
Most of the people around there are all stuck-up and only stick to their cliques. Not Will. Will always tried to make the world a better place by doing the right thing. His feelings for Ronnie were unconditional, even after his mother, and best friends told him he was wrong.
Ronnie saw Will for what he truly was underneath all of the stereotypes he was placed in. She saw him as a loving, fun-willed, and caring person who would always come around to do the right thing.
Nicholas Sparks (Author) explains Will to be a handsome young man who will grow up and be a good, honest, and loving man.

I can read just about any type of book. However, mystery, romance, horror, suspenceful, and realistic fiction books hold my interest the most. I like mystery because they are "fast readers" and keep me on egde to where I never want to put the book down. Romance is good because it makes me feel happy. Horror and suspenceful books make me wonder what will happen next. The drama of not knowing what will happen next excites me. I can relate my life to the characters in realistic fiction books. I like being to see what others do in some of the same situations that I have been in.
