post four

This week for outside reading i started reading "The Wedding", by Nicholas Sparks. It was about a man who forgets his anniversary and his wife gets very upset. She then decides to go visit her son in New York. She doesn’t make it clear how long she’ll be gone, she just says a couple weeks. Wilson is very afraid that his wife, Jane, has fallen out of love with him. When she returned home everything was still the same. They both went about their normal daily routines, barely saying a word to each other. He knows he needs to do something, but doesn’t know what. Jane’s parents had always been very romantic, while Wilsons never showed any sign of affection. Wilson decides to go talk to Noah, Jane’s father, to figure out what to do. Noah and Wilson are good friends and enjoy each others company. Noah is sitting by the pond watching a swan, just as he is everyday. Wilson tells Noah what happens and asks what to do. Noah begins to tell Wilson about what he did while his wife Allie got Alzheimer’s. He would read her the story of their lives everyday to make her re-fall in love with him. Then Wilson realizes what he needs to do. Then the chapter ends.
