The Essay on Told Allie Noah Lon Time
The Notebook By Nicholas Sparks Just after Graduation 1932, the opening night of the Neuse River Festival in Newbern, North Carolina, Noah met his friends Fin and Sarah for a night of games, food and fun. When he got there Fin and Sarah were talking to a girl that Noah thought was the most beautiful and intriguing girl he'd ever laid eyes on, her name was Allie. They hung out at the festival and ...
[pic]Passion doesn’t last forever, but it’s a necessity. You can’t have a romantic relationship without the passion. Without [pic]passion, you merely have a friendship. On the other hand, if you don’t have comfort and [pic]security in your relationship, and the [pic]passion dies out, you are left with nothing. When you have neither passion nor comfort you can’t really be happy. During those years without Allie, Noah works hard to get the house built so he can have stability to give Allie if she returns.
An example of someone choosing security over passion is in Wuthering Heights. Catherine says that Heathcliff and she share the same soul. And in contrast, that she and Edgar are so different that they resemble frost and fire. Yet she still decides to marry Edgar because she knows that with him she’ll have security. She would be secure and comfortable, financially and socially. Unlike Tita and Allie, Catherine puts security before passion. This probably wasn’t the best choice, but it’s difficult to tell. Heathcliff becomes evil, and both he and Catherine went crazy in the end, most likely from being apart. If Catherine had married Heathcliff it’s possible that they could have both been happy, nice, and sane people. Even if the case was that going crazy was something biological, they still should have been together and gone crazy together, because they were soul mates. Even after they died, their spirits lived on together. With a connection like that it was not the best decision in Catherine’s part to marry Edgar. No matter what [pic]security or comfort Edgar gave her, she would never be truly happy.
For Tita and Allie, passion is most important, and for [pic]Catherine it is security, though neither worked out just for one of those reasons. Without a balance, at some point in your life you will run into trouble. Noah provides Allie with security by building her a house before she comes back to him. With Tita and Pedro the [pic]security doesn’t matter because they died in the end. If they had survived they would have run into problems and arguments. Obviously, Edgar and Catherine’s relationship didn’t work out because Catherine went crazy without Heathcliff. In most cases there are not two people who symbolize 100% passion or 100% stability, as in these examples. There will usually be someone in between as an option, someone who has both the needed passion, and the [pic]security.
