Dear John

In this book a 23 year old boy, named John meets a 21 year girl, named Savannah. They meet while John is on a military leave and Savannah is on a trip with her college peers to help build a house. John will only be there for 2 weeks so his time with Savannah is short. But in this short time they end up falling in love. When John leaves he promises her that one day they will get married, Savannah promises to write him, and they both promise each other that they will never forget about each other. When Savannah writes she always begins with "Dear, John".

Each character in this book is very unique. And I think that they each have a something that symbolizes them. One thing that symbolizes John is a military coat, John chose to be in the military instead of college and it is now a big part of his life. He loves what he does and  it turned his life around. John wasnt a good student and he joined the wrong crowd so when he joined the military it made him a better man. Savannah is symbolized by flowers, she is beautiful and delicate. But she is stubborn, like a flower that always grows back even if you pick it. She cares for John but doesnt mind telling him whats on her mind. She is very sweet but it doesnt mean that she isnt stubbornh.
