The Last Song
Reading Response 2
Title: The Last Song
Director: Julie Ann Robinson
Text Type: Written.
In my book The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks, Ronnie, a teenage girl and her brother, Jonah are sent to be with their dad for the summer. Ronnie and her dad haven't talked ever since her parent’s split, her dad left with out saying anything. From that point on, Ronnie had turned into a new girl. Here Nicholas Sparks tries to show the reader that Ronnie isn’t really who she thinks she is, and she doesn’t do anything her friends do. Ronnie turns into a girl that is "bad.” She has bad grades, they dropped juristically, she has a purple streak in her hair, and hangs out with the wrong type of people. To me, though Ronnie isn't really "bad;” she is just hiding herself from the rest of the world, with all her makeup and dark clothes. Ronnie isn't actually one of those kids who drink or smoke or do terrible things it’s just that, that’s the only way she can express herself.
One important observation that I made as soon as I started reading this book, is that you could tell Ronnie only hangs out with the wrong crowd, wears a lot of makeup and wears dark clothes because she is trying to hide herself and it is the only way she can express her anger. Ronnie is actually a smart girl that doesn’t do anything that the people she hangs out with do. I think this because,
“Do you want me to bring you a beer?” “I don’t drink.” “Why?” “Because it makes people act stupid”
This quote shows that Ronnie doesn’t drink, and she thinks drinking is stupid. This is a very important part of the book because there are parts before this that just shows Ronnie not drinking but this time you actually know she doesn’t drink. So once I was reading this I kind of thought to myself, isn’t this weird how every night she hangs out with these type of people but she never drinks or smokes with them, she is really above the
