Book Blog #2
As I continue to read this book the author Nicolas Sparks talks both about his present life and his life as a child. He compares his parenting styles to the ones his parents used as he grew up. He now realizes that the actions his parents took were loving and in his best interest even though at the time it did not seem that way. Sparks now thinks about how his upcoming trip will help him be able to fix all of his insecurities he has about himself. It is also important for him to go through with the trip so he can strengthen the bond with his brother. At a certain time he is hesitant to go on the trip because he will not be able to full fill his duties as a father and husband. He worried his wife would have trouble taking care of their kids for three weeks by herself. After trying to avoid the subject of leaving for the trip, his brother Micha explained the wonderful opportunity that they have been given and that it will only come once in a lifetime. Now after rethinking the trip he is determined to enjoy each experience and find himself throughout the three weeks.
