Adrienne Willis

I am currently reading Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks, and it includes one of the two main characters, Adrienne Willis. Adrienne is a round, static character, although she thinks she is a flat character. There is so much to her but she thinks that she is just a boring single parent. However, when Paul arrives and they begin to fall in love, he makes her feel beautiful. Adrienne asks Paul, who is a plastic surgeon, if she had something done, what would he fix about her. He simply told her that he wouldn't change a thing. She was perfect. Overall, throughout the book, she develops more and more and they make each other better people.

Conflict of Nights in Rodanthe

There are many conflicts in this story, but the main ones are as follows. First, there are several person vs. self conflicts, including Adrienne dealing with the fact that even though she is upset and hurt that her husband, Jack, left her, she may be falling in love again with Paul. Also, Paul is hurt that his wife wanted a divorce. He thought that marriage was a life long commitment that should be honored and cherished. He is dealing with the same sort of problem that Adrienne is, but he is not fighting it like she is. There is also a person vs. person conflict in this novel. Robert Torrelson sued Paul because his wife died in surgery, due to reasons unknown. Mr Torrelson, however, blames her death on Dr. Flanner (Paul). The two are trying to make amends thoughout the story. I definitely look forward to reading the last half of this well written book.

Nights in Rodanthe

I chose to read the book Nights in Rodanthe because I am definitely a sucker for a good love story. I first saw the movie preview for the motion picture, and come to find out, it is based off of a Nicholas Sparks book. I immediately headed to the nearest Barnes and Noble to pick it up and start reading it. The story is about a woman whose husband leaves her for a younger man, and a man whose wife divorces him because he works too much and misses out on the good things in life. The two happen upon each other by chance at a bed and breakfast in Rodanthe, and the rest from there is a fairytale. I can't wait to finish this book.
