A Walk to Remember

Title of book: A Walk to Remember
Author: Nicholas Sparks

 This week I read the book called "A Walk to Remember". So far I read 60 pages and cannot wait to continue because the book is really good. The main characters in this novel are Jamie Sullivan and Landon Carter. They both go to high school in Beaufort, North Carolina. Jamie is a very joyful girl who doesn't have many friends but she is always there to help everyone. Weekly she goes to church and to the orphanage. Her father is the minister in the church. Landon Carter is probably the richest child in high school. He has good grades and he has many friends. Landon Carter is the student body president at their school. In the book somewhere at the beginning when they are suppose to have a dance, Carter doesn't anyone to come with. While he goes through the yearbook he sees Jamie. Because she is the only available girl he chooses to go to the dance with her. While they are at the dance they have a great time and for the first time Jamie dressed differently. I think that later in the book Jamie and Landon will be together. While I was reading I found many unknown words but I chose one that was very interesting to me. "He'd written his own sermons his whole life, and some of them, we had to admit, were actually interesting, especially when he talked about the wrath of God coming down on the fornicators and all that good stuff". The unknown words are sermons and fornicators. Sermons means a talk on a religious or moral subject. I cannot wait to read more and see what will happen!
