Blog Post #3- Your Main Character

     I'm currently reading the book "The Lucky One" by Nicholas Sparks. The Lucky one has many main characters though I think the main one is Logan Thibault. He is a retired U.S marine. In Iraq he found a picture of this girl from North Carolina. Ever since he found that picture he has had strangely, amazing luck. Eventually, Thibault sets out across the country walking to find the girl in the picture. He finds the girl in the picture. Her name is Elizebeth (Beth), and she lives with Nana, and her son Ben. Beth is divorced, and ben dislikes his father. Turns out Thibault ran into Beth's ex-husband on the way to find Beth. Thibault had no idea that was her ex, and her ex. had no idea that he was on his way to see his ex-wife. They run a huge kennel for dogs and that's where Logan applies to work. Beth thinks that Logan is a stranger, but once she gets to know him, she thinks he is a great man!

      I'd describe Logan as warm hearted, honest, humourous and strong minded. Even though Logan would rather be called his last name, he has been through a lot. He knows that honestly the truth is the best thing out there. He takes care of his dog Zeus, and to me it sounds like he's the best trained dog out there. He has a great passion for helping animals and people. Knowing and seeing everything that he has, he's the kind of person who will feel your pain, but also be quiet when he needs to be. Thibault also lightens an evening with his humour. -

 'You mean the one that used to be advertised on late-night televisions? Where the guy on the commercial uses it to cut through a tin can?" She nodded. "That's the one." "Did you get it?" "It's the knife I'm using now." He smiled. "I've never known anyone who actually admitted to buying one." Thibault and Beth, The Lucky One, Page 128. In this part of the book the girl Beth and Thibault are making tacos. They are having an easy conversation, and they both feel very comfortable. I can tell that they are becoming closer. Reading about Beth and Thibault let's you see there is an easy flow in the story. Also I think there's a strong connection between them. Thibault cares much about Beth, and I think it'll result into something better once I get more into the book.

     I think Thibault is going to meet up with Beth's ex-husband, which who he has met before. It's not going to go well I believe. But I believe Thibault is going to be able to scary Clayton a bit, and that is going to worry Clayton making him do something stupid. Stupid enough that it's going to cause pain in Ben, Beth and Nana, causing pain in Thibault.


     I chose the song BattleField by Jordin Sparks because Thibault came to find Beth in the first place because of the picture. He may have fallen in love with her and he decides he can't tell her about the picture. Not after everything that she has told him. Also, with Beth's ex around, he definetly doesn't want Thibault around Beth. I have a feeling he is going to do something to create some drama, and make sure they won't be together. This song I also feel is appropriate for the mood, and could even describe how Thibault is feeling.
