Braces

Brackets placed on your teeth,
almost nothing you can eat
Constant pain throughout the day
Can't wait til that day
when they finally go away.

No candy, chips, or any hard food
You brush your teeth
after ever bite,
and you struggle
to fall asleep at night.

Years have gone by
and the day has finally come
soon in an hour you're braces will be gone
you walk through the door with excitement on your face
the doctor walks toward you
and you just can't wait,
until he said you had to wait another 28 days.

Your smile fades away
and you look at your mom
you walk out the door
your head to the floor.

The Setting of The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks

 Author's Note: This book takes place in a lot of different areas but overall the setting stays within the town.

     The setting in this book takes place in North Carolina. Scenes take place on the beach and Steve Miller's (Ronnie's dad) house. Her mom's house takes place in New York, but in the book they don't describe it or mention her in New York. The setting is described very beautiful. Their house is right on the Atlantic Ocean. The nice, smooth yellow sand. The house is described a little old though. I'm very happy that the book takes place in this kind of setting, the town is very realistic and is described regularly. I like to read things that I can easily relate to.

The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks

Author's Note: The book I chose to read is "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks. He lives in North Carolina with his wife and family. I chose to read this book because I love romance. Even though the mode of literature is Comedy it still includes a ton of romance. On this assignment I decided to add a quick summary to the beginning of my piece so the reader would know more about what's going on in the book. Enjoy!

         The main character, Ronnie Miller has been avoiding her dad ever since her parents divorce, three years earlier. Her mom believes that Ronnie and her little brother Jonah need to spend more time with their dad and bond. Ronnie is rebellious, she hated the idea of visiting for the summer, she's much rather hang out with her friends back in New York. Unfortunately her mom has forced her to stay their for a couple of months. Ronnie had no idea this trip would end up with any type of love, but as soon as she meets an attractive volleyball player, things change. Ronnie then gets accepted to Julliard, but refuses to play the piano every again, because her dad used to be her teacher. She hasn’t overcome her parents divorce and continues to ignore and avoid her father. The first few chapters begin in normalcy and the situations that the family goes through are realistic. It's just an ordinary family taking a car ride to meet their dad. Therefore, the mode of literature is Comedy. I believe that the theme of this book is that "You have to overcome the problems from the past and make the best of the present time, because you never know what tomorrow brings.
