Dear John: pages 100-276

For the next few weeks, John and Savannah started to talk and hang out everyday they could. Not that it is a lot because of the community work she was doing, but they made it work. Savannah even got to met John's father and everything. Savannah was studying child disabilities and autism was one of the first things that they learned. John and she talked about everything you can think of. While John was visiting her house, she met a guy named Tim. Tim is an old family friend that has lived right by her family's farm for the longest time. They were best friends. John from first sight, could tell that Tim was in love with Savannah. That did not intimidate John or make him jealous at all because he new Savannah was all his. Right before John had to return to Germany, John and Savannah promised each other that they would right every chance they got. John was gone for a year. Once 9/11 happened though, John and his buddies reenlisted and he was gone for another two years without seeing Savannah. John could tell that the letters he was getting were becoming more distant. Finally, he got a letter that told him, she was in love with another guy and that they would no longer be sending letters back and forth.
John reenlisted many times after his rejection. He believed that Savannah and he were in love, but I guess they were not. John got sent around the world during the war. When he came back to the States once more, he visited his father and spent time with him. off he went to war again. This time when he went back to the States, it was because his father was sick. He ended up passing away from an illness. After that, John went to search for Savannah. He found her at her house on a farm living right next to her parents house. John new that she was married now, but still wanted to visit an old lover. He soon came to find out that she was married to someone who was sick and in the hospital as well. She was going through some tough times of her own and like always, John was there to comfort her. They went and saw the sick husband and wished him well and everything. They spent time at the hospital and John and him got to know each other as well. Savannah and her husband were having money troubles, but in the end, everything always work out.

Reflection
So if you have seen the movie, you know that they do not get married or anything. I think that is a crappy part of the book. But what John does for Savannah and her husband is amazing. It teaches you that if someone else is in need more then you, you give sacrifices. John in the beginning was a bad guy who ended up getting in trouble, but the army and a love got in his way and made him the wonderful guy that he is. And if i might say, he is pretty darn cute in the movie as well! The book and movie are similar, but if you want more in depth and a better picture in your head, I would recommend reading the book as well!
