Dear John

John is off to his first leave. He is stationed in Germany. Although he didn’t know a word in German he wasn’t too worried about that. Once he came back to the United States he blew off all his money and stayed with a few buddies in Las Vegas. As usual john and his father were distant and didn’t care to communicate. I think that john wanted his dad to show some kind of compassion. John is the only child and his father seems to be in some other world. He doesn’t show his son that he truly cares for him. I believe that he does but he’s too scared to show love again. Since john’s mother did leave his dad it might be something that he is still dealing with. John is just a memory of his wife. He doesn’t want to get hurt again.

Dear John

My favorite part of the book is when john n is talking about his father and about how he feels about him. I believe that this is important to the book. Because it shows johns character. “Hugs and kisses are rarity for me growing up, and when they did happen, they often stuck me as lifeless, something he did because he was supposed to, not because he wanted to” (Sparks 11)

This part of the book shows their feelings towards each other. I believe that john rebels growing up to get attention from his dad. His dad has problems showing his emotions. I predict that later in the they might change and become closer and actually start expressing their feelings toward each other.
