Nights In Rodanthe
Pages: 189-198


In this section of reading not all that much happened. Adrienne received letters and pictures from the well known Paul Flanner, and the continuing feeling of missing him was still  there. She continues to talk to her daughter Amanda about Paul and how feelings such as hers are hard to change. She also in the section  of reading goes to visit her dad, who is currently at a nursing home, and tells him about her long lost "lover". He  feels very happy for her and knows what it feels like to be in this position. Last but not least, the only  other event to occur in this section is that Adrienne goes back to the Inn in Rodanthe to stay with her friend and they talk about their feelings. Not only does Adrienne have to spill all about Paul, but her friend is confused as to how they could have such a deep connection in such a short amount of time. Feelings really can change a lot of things in your life in a very short amount of time and changes minds just as quickly and easily.

This most significant in this short amount of reading would have had to be when Adrienne's dad kind of gives her his okay with her being in this long distance relationship with a man that he has never met before. He knows this is the guy, not only because of the way she talks about him, but because of how happy he has also made her and how she now seems like a totally different person; in a good way. "He smiled then, his crooked smile, and though he made no sound, when he moved his lips, she knew what he was trying to say." (Page 196). This is a great way of explaining it in a way that one knows just by reading their body expressions. Even her dad has a good feeling about this guy, and when parents see their own children happy they are also generally pretty happy about the situation.

My connection with this part of the book is being able to talk about someone over and over again and the feeling of them never ever leaving your mind. I'm not going to be specific with who exactly this person is, but every time I get to see him I can't help but smile. We have the ability to talk for hours and never run out of things to say to each other and I just couldn't picture myself feeling more lucky than I am right now. When you finally meet some person who can make you feel like a million dollars without even trying, you know they are worth keeping in your life.
