A Walk to Remember: pages 54-108

Jamie Sullivan picked up the phone a few weeks after the dance and asked Landon if he would stop by for a visit since they had a wonderful time at the Homecoming dance. She has to ask him in person if it would be alright if he played the main male role in the Christmas play coming up. There was no one else to play and Landon was their last option in theater class. He got tricked into it by guilt and said yes. After a long period of time, Jamie and Landon practiced lines in theater class and out of class. They would normally rehearse lines at Jamie's house because she was not allowed anywhere else. Her father forbids it. Landon would walk Jamie home and end up staying with her. On these long walks to Jamie's house they would talk about many things; graveyards, their fathers and mothers, colleges, and anything that popped into their minds. When walking Jamie home one night, Landon got frustrated after having his friends make fun of him. He ended up yelling at Jamie because he has to walk a mile out of his way just to make sure she got home safely even though her father does not even like him.

Reflection
I think that there is something going on here! The book is yet again, nothing like the movie. Most of the time, Landon would need a ride home or something along those lines. Not Jamie. However, her father did dislike Landon in both stories. I believe that this book has a very different story from the movie and I am excited to see how Landon finds out about everything that is really going on.
