Safe Haven: Tone and Mood

      The mood of my book Safe Haven is heart warming. Safe Haven is a very romantic love story and most readers feel touched and bubbly. The main characters Alex and Katie are falling in love in a very strange way. Alex only wants to make sure Katie is safe and the kids are always okay. Alex is a very sweet, strong, and a loving guy that fell for Katie, but wants the same in return. The couple is always finding new ways to make each other fall even deeper into love than before.

    The intended tone for this book is sweet sarcasm. The author, Nicholas Sparks, was intending to make the actions silly and sarcastic but have a sweet meaning or thought behind it. He wants the readers to see that they can still be sarcastic and play around. But at the same time can love each other and still have a sweet side to it.

Reading Skills Re-do

  
Reading Skills Re-do


I never did this post but here's my "re-do".
  
    I predict that Katie will fall deeply in love with Alex. She will never understand the problems from the war. I predict that Alex will fall in loe with Katies son and then one day they will be happily married. A Text-to-world connection is that many people come home from war and end up being tramatized by the gun shots, the things the see, and the way they killed someone. I cant wait to finish the book so I will know which is better. Book or Movie? You tell me? Which do you think is better?
