Finally finished reading an English novel.
I finished reading an English novel yesterday called Dear John. I started the reading 3 months ago, hahha... finally finished! I know I wrote a notebook entry 2 months ago saying that I cannot concentrate on reading books, and that I can fall asleep very easily while reading, haha... so please don't be surprised, that's just my bad habit, haha...
The story is about John and Savannah, who loves each other very much. But since John's leave is over and need tomust go back to the army which is stationed in Germany now that his leave is over, and Savannah needs tomust continue her study in university studies, so they just write to each other to share their love and lives instead. But one day, Savannah writes a letter to John, to tell him she is in love with another man, that which means she wants to break up with John. After the separation, John prolongs his service, and Savannah marries her best friend Tim, but there's another twist - Tim is critically ill. All of them As a result, Savannah and Tim live a tough life, but luckily John wants to help them. John sells his father's coin collection in a lower price than its true value, and gives an anonymous donation to Tim and Savannah......
I watched the movie with the same name before, and love it so so much! So I bought the novel to see what the original is about. I found the two ends are totally different, but both are reflect true love. The end of the movie says after receiving the donation, Tim has an operation and lives one more month, but still dies in the end. Afterwards, John and Savannah finally get back together. However, in the novel version, Tim recovers after the treatment so he and Savannah live happily ever after. John is left alone, still loving Savannah, as a result.
Both the ends are sad but happy, and reflect true love! I missed some important plot points, I cannot retell all of them to you, but I just want you to know both the movie and the novel are so touching! They are both worthy to be watching and reading :)
Cheer for true love! :)
I really don't know what tense to use when retelling a song or a book. O_O;;;
Somebody please help! Thanks a lot! Have a nice day! :)
平常,past 或 present tense 都可以,但是就要主意你只用一种时态 (make sure you only use one tense). 比如,如果你开始用过去时(past tense)描述电影,就必须继续用过去时;不能换成present tense了。
