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.
