Book Title: A walk to remember by Nicholas Sparks Dec 30, 2014
Part1:
Question: Does Jamie live or die at the end of the novel? We could be convinced that Jamie may have lived basing solely on the text and we could make references to prove it. However, it would also seem highly unlikely that Jamie would survive and miraculously recovered from an illness that was judged to be fatal by all medical opinion. It is true that Landon does not say explicitly that she died, but the words that he uttered "I now believe, by the way, that miracles can happen", the miracle being Jamies survival? Could have Sparks deliberately left the ending intentionally ambiguous?
Reflect: God works in so many ways that people do not understand. A walk to remember brings an insight to what love really is and how to live life with it. The true meaning of loving someone with all of your heart is shown in this book. Today many teenagers tell one another, be it a boyfriend or a girlfriend, that they love one another. How do they really know if they love each other? The illustration of how Landon feels for Jamie shows how you feel about someone when you truly love him or her.
Predict; When Jamie asked Landon to play the part of the father in the Christmas play; where she was also the cast as the angel. I predicted that the Landon would agree, though he was kind of reluctant at first. I have also predicted that the two would get along and would eventually fall for each other.
Connect: Our God loves all of us unconditionally. Even though we sin and we most of the time take his love and generosity for granted, where we only remember him during the days of our sorrows and we tend to ask help from him and yet when we feel happy we never remember to thank him from the blessings that he have showered upon us. Our God never seizes to love, guide and bless us.
In my life, I admit that I am a sinner. I have done a lot of things, displeasing things. I even seldom go to church and ask for forgiveness. I was ready if God would decide to punish me for my behavior, but he did not. Instead he had blessed me more, and realizing that I became more appreciative with him and to all the things he have done for me. I ask for forgiveness for all the things I have done. And I thank him every single day for giving me everything that I need. You only love truly when you are willing to sacrifice and understand and never seize to love that individual in whatever may come and happen.

Dear Mr Sparks,
Hello Mr. Sparks! I am one of your million fans here in the Philippines. The first I've watched the movie "a walk to remember", it touched m soul and expanded my view about the meaning of LOVE. When I have learned that this was based on a novel written by you, I've got curious. The first book I have purchased was Dear John. Then, I've fell in love with your words. You're novel changed my whole life. Looking deeply at various realities and how love can be so powerful were the things I have learned from your book.
I enjoy your books. They are quick and entertaining reads. I enjoy how you bring your characters to life. My issue with your writing is your need to make me feel as if my heart has been ripped out and smashed repeatedly with a hammer. You write lovely and moving stories. You have nailed the ability to describe the greatest love the world has ever seen.
Every story you write give this broken heart of mine hope that maybe someday it would mend itself, and perhaps find the kind of love is longing for, the kind of love you write in your stories. If I have learned anything in life is that I should never give up hope.
I am looking forward of meeting you in person!That will always be the dream I want to achieve. Continue inspiring millions of people with your books, you are a legend.

Book Title: The best of me by Nicholas Sparks Dec 6, 2014
Part1:
Question: I got excited when it seemed that Amanda was going to meet him at the cemetery only for her to turn right and go home. Which I guess was ok since she was almost home when she received word of the accident, but she stayed with Frank even after. I felt that Amanda was weak and a coward. Dawson stayed alone all those years thinking of no one but her, and she admitted that even on her wedding day she was unsure she should marry Frank, but she did it anyway. Why didn't she ever go and look for Dawson? Why didn't she just stay alone and be a teacher? Even at 42 she couldn't stand up to her mother which was very disappointing. And then those letters from Tuck, It was clear that Dawson would have continued to wait for her to make her decision, while she would have clearly kept him waiting. Why did she keep on asking "what should I do?" And in her letter Tuck lets her have it and she still does the opposite.
Reflect: I believe everything in life happens for a reason and this book proves that. As I read the series of events I knew exactly what had happened before the book told me and I wanted to scream "No" because true love overcomes everything. In the end, I think in the end knowing what happened not only saved two lives that night but it saved her in so many ways and I believe he would say it was all worth it.
Predict: As it got towards the end, I knew that someone was about to be killed off. In an instant, I knew the hero would not make it and having his heart beat on in the heroine's young son was very fulfilling for me. Even though I already predicted that it was Dawson who is the donor of Jared's heart, I still anticipated the moment when Amanda would know but yeah, it happened that she already know it but was just keeping it.
Connect: During my teenage life. Growing up with a broken family, I learned to take responsibilities, Forced to learn to decide for myself on what was wrong from the right without the consent of other people. I became independent at a very young age. Even though I have gone through a lot of pain and suffering, alone. I trusted God, I know that he was always in control. I never complained to him nor blamed him on any of the bad happenings that have occurred in my life. I know that everything happens for a reason, and God is always with me guiding me the way.
In whatever problems, trials or difficulties that may come in your way. You should learn to trust God, pray and ask for enlightenment and guidance. Every thing that happens with you and around you is all part of Gods plan. Just believe and have faith. Everything will eventually pull its pieces up together and you will realize how amazing our God really is.
