1. If I could ask Nicholas Sparks one question, I would ask him how he got into writing or if it was just something that comes to him despite the difficulty. Cause the way he ties his books together with little details such as in The Last Song Ronnie and her fathers piano and the rebuilding of the church. Those are minor details that chapters later pull together the whole book. It seems difficult and I wonder if he ever struggles with writing his novels.
2. Ronnie starts out her summer a complete opposite person then towards the end of the summer with her father and little brother. Events during the summer changed her as a person. While there she meant blaze who also hung out with the bad crowd, Ronnie and her became friends. Then she accused Ronnie of going behind her back and then black mails her to make it look like she stole from there local cd store. She had placed valuable famous records in ronnies purse and the whole last half of the book she is facing law courts and poilce officers. Why did Nicholas put this in his novel why was it significant to a “love” story ?
3. Why did Nicholas add so many tragic, unhappy events in this novel? You would think that it would be filled with all happy events and good times that lead up to there everlasting love. But Ronnies father has cancer in his lungs and dies, her love leaves, her and her love also fight a lot throughout the summer, there local church burnt down, Blaze faced 3rd degree burns and almost dies and Ronnies facing police charges for something she didn’t do. There’s a lot of negitive events in this novel,why?
4. The novel explains how Ronnies mother forces her to go down and spend a summer with her father, but it never explains why she is pushing the issue so hard because her mom is not described as an ascertive mother. Is it because she knows about his cancer and knows he doesn’t have much time left? Even then why wouldn’t she tell Ronnie when she found out instead of hiding it from her the entire time.
5. Ronnie’s father had lung cancer and one day when they were standing on the beach in their backyard he collapsed puking his own blood. Once he was at the hospital he told Ronnie and her little brother everything for the first time and that he had wanted one last summer with them cause he knew he wouldn’t be having much time. The doctors predicted about seven months for him. Is it true doctors can predict down to months or days of a persons lifetime left when there ill? When you have lung cancer do most patients puke there own blood constintly, is that a common painful side effect?
