Author's Note: I wrote this cause and effect piece on The Notebook by Nicholas sparks because of the touching and inspirational moments the couple have shared together.
In the book The Notebook , a wealthy teenage city girl, Allie, falls in love with a low-paid country boy, Noah, in the 1940's. Their love lasts throughout the summer, but begins to deteriorate as fall approaches because of major disapprovement of Noah by Allie's parents . The climax is determined when 63 years later, Noah reads Allie a letter about the married couples life, and Allie recalls that Noah is her husband. Allie has severe Alzheimer's and can barely remember anything. This is the turning point because Allie falls in love with Noah all over again and actually can remember him.
The result to this climax was that Allie and Noah can actually enjoy their time together. In the past , Allie would have short outbursts of fear around people, including Noah, because she forgot who he was. As her Alzheimer's progressed badly and Noah's health grew worse as well, the two of them spent as much time with each other as they possibly can by doing things like playing the piano, reading, or walking in the garden etc. At one point in time, the doctor actually thought that Allie's Alzheimer's was doing better, but turned out to be doing the opposite. Eventually the two died together in the same bed, holding each others hands.
