artist‚ the cliqued girls‚ the skateboarder‚ they are all represented and representative of his film.

The Movie or the Book? Nicholas Sparks has written multiple novels that have evolved into movies‚ such as The Notebook‚ The Last Song‚ Dear John‚ Message in a Bottle‚ and A Walk to Remember. The movies previously mentioned are as equally good as the novels except for Dear John. To me‚ Dear John is one of the best books written by Nicholas Sparks‚ yet the movie is the worst. The plot is excellent‚ but it is poorly portrayed in the movie. Several literary elements are found in both the movie and the
