The Notebook

It has been called on of "The greatest love stories of all time." And by all means were they correct. The Notebook tells of a story of a young highschool couple in the mid 1940's. The story tells of a love that everybody wishes to find, and that all are searching for. Allie was an upper class southern girl with hopes and ambishens of becoming just as sucessful & wealthy as her father. For Noah on the other hand, he was all about getting by, and being thankful for the simple things. Opposites attract. The two young couple fall in love immediatly, but are painfully torn apart by Allie's mother, who thinks Noah is nothing but trouble for her college bound beauty. Through the 5 years that they were seperated, love was soon re-kindled, and Noah & Allie found eachother once again. The way the story is told is an old man, who actually is Noah, is reading this type of journal to, Allie as she has reached her elderly years, and is diagnoised with altimerz disease. 

Throughout the story there are many archetypes. The journal/book that Noah reads to Allie represents the story of their lives, love, and passion that they shared between each other. Also, Allie's Mother represents the  trickster. For the full year of 365 letters that Noah had wrote to Allie, her mother had taken and hid from her, to make her believe Noah wanted nothing to do with her.

He maybe just another goofy guy, but he's my hero.

Though some would think of hero to be one who rescuses the town from an evil villan, or an individual who saves numerous amounts of people from a burning building, my hero is a little diffrent. Don't get me wrong, those are some amazing heros, But what my hero does is just as phenominal. Chambers Stevens is not only one of the most amazing theatatrical coaches, but he pushes you to your limits. When all else fails, and there is no one there to catch you and bring you back, he's there. He restores aspirations, with his encouraging words. He has faith in you.  Though he's not giving CPR to the choking man down at Olive Garden, or locking up the joker to save the city, he's bringing life, and hope into hundreds of kids and young adults with dreams and ambitions  to be all that they can be. And to me, that's one astounding hero.
