"The last song"
Nicholas Sparks
Pages 1-100
Summary: Ronnie and her younger brother Jonah's parents are divorced, when their father felt it was best to just leave. They then live with there mother. Ronnie gets in a lot of trouble back home and seems to be going down the wrong path with her life. Ever since her dad left she wouldn't touch her piano, when Juliard has been watching her since she was little. They've already told her that she has been given a full scholarship there without even applying. Ronnies mom decides that it would be a good idea to send Ronnie and Jonah to their fathers for the summer. Ronnie resents her father and has no intention of being friendly or even talking to him for the summer. Somehow she runs into a guy named will who she acts like he thinks he's the biggest hottie in town. At her dad's, she finds a racoon trying to eat all the eggs where a turtle has put their eggs. After she scares the racoon away she makes a fort, where nothing can get in. She then calls the animal shelter and they don't come out for days. When finally someone shows up, and discovers it was Will that she had been waiting on to come. She's angry because she's been out all day and night sleeping by them for 48 hours waiting for will. To make it up to her, Will sleeps outside with her. Ronnie finds herself falling for this guy, even though she doesn't seem to want to admit it.
PEARL: This relates to american history by the time that Ronnie has to wait for someone to come out and help her. In those days you couldn't get things fast and easy. You would have to wait multiple days to get whatever you needed, for someone to come out. This book shows the american dream by what Ronnie wants for the turtles. For them to be safe. In the Last Song, it shows good morals so far. Ronnie has the heart to reach out and do anything to reach the highest. She cares for everything, even though sometimes her actions don't show it.

She starts playing it and starts working on it for her dad. At the very end, when she finally finishes it.. Her dad spills a cup of water and she immediately knows, he's gone.
At the funeral Ronnie plays the peice she finished for him, and Jonahs peice at the church is put in. Will and his family show up at the funeral and Ronnie was thankful for that.

The book started with good morals then some bad but some good and it ended with all good morals in the end. Although Ronnies father died, she's a new person and she's overcome the hardest thing in her life. It shows the American Dream by the way the book ends.. Where Ronnie goes off to Juliard and Will transfers to be with her, and to be in the college he wanted to be in from the start.
