introduction

The first chapter of the notebook sets the book up very well. It is actually in the eyes of a man who goes into a nursing home to visit a women, and everyday, he reads her a story about young love. The next chapter comes in with the beginning of the story where the characters of Noah and Allie are introduced. They were each other's first loves, but the thing that is interesting about their story is that they lost touch for 14 years, didn't even speak a word to each other, but they still kept on loving each other. The memories of the summer are implanted in Noah and Allie's memories. So far, it shows how strong a bond is when you meet the right person, what Noah and Allie are both realizing that once that bond, that person is there, that bond is never gonna go away, and they are learning that they hard way because if it was easy, then Allie would not have come to New Bern to see Noah.
