True Believers- By Nicholas Sparks

               Two days ago I began to read the book True Believers by Nicholas Sparks. The reason I choose this book was because, in the beginning of the year i read The Last Song also written by Nicholas Sparks. The book was very good, it really made me change my mind about Romance Novels.I decided to try this book to see if it was the same.
      So far the book is a bout this High powered Journalist named Jeremy Marsh, who writes for the Scientific American on supernatural Causes. I feel that so far Jeremy thinks that he is a god given gift to all people. When i realized this, i wondered, what makes someone think that they are better than everyone, a God given Gift. This "trait" has been going on forever, whether it was with the Whites and African Americans, or the case in this book. By saying that you are higher than everyone else in the world, in many religions like Christianity that is comparing yourself to god, maybe even saying you are more powerful than God himself.
      Okay I am going off topic here, even though Jeremy feels that he is the best person, everyone especially him, has their flaws. Because no on e is perfect, no madder how much you try, you will always be the same a everyone else. But I find that soon in the book, someone will reveal this to Jeremy, trying to pull him back to earth. I feel that as soon as everyone is at the same level, all back to earth, we can give each other equal chances, in our lives.
      But i also have another prediction, and it is on the negative side. Maybe Jeremy is so full of himself he can never fell that every one is his equals, and he will never have anyone tell him otherwise. He has to realize that before he was on top, he was at the bottom like everyone else.

  1. I like how you use an introductory to the text but you should try to give a little more opinion, remember SHOW NOT TELL!!

    (also please capitalize your "I's"

  2. I agree with raven.... you retell the book a lot and you kind of did go off topic but not really. I think that in your predictions you should say what made you come up with that prediction, use examples from the book but put them in your own words.
