When I think of the word classic I think of something that lasts a long time, it'll never get old, and has a certain style. When I think of classic books, or classic songs... It makes me think of songs and novels that my parents are remembering, that this generation enjoys. No matter what the story or music will never get old. Classic gives me the feeling that they want almost everything to be like that in every story or song, and maybe even something in their life.

     I currently finished the book The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. I think this romantic novel is definetly a classic. The book has a great story line, though it's based on a true story. The book gives you a sense of how a love triangle can affect many people, and that love can be difficult. It shows you need to follow your heart. The Notebook shows that your first love could be the best love. Sometimes you may make a decision that you don't like in the end; but you can fix it. It's a classic because many people can relate to the story and I think it gives you a sense of emotion. You can feel the way the characters feel, making you feel a little happy, or teary. I think it helps that the story was based on a true story. The description and the length of the whole couples life told from when they met gives you a feeling of hope. Many people have heard about or read The Notebook. It's something that was once popular, and could become popular again. The Notebook is also a #1 New York Times Bestseller, and a major motion picture from the New Line Cinema.

     I think it's one of those stories that Nicholas Sparks fans will pass down to their kids when they're older. I think the next generation or our generation now should read this book. It's truly a great story and gives you something to look at. The story shows you a reason why you should love the people who are in your life. My Mom passed down they book to me, and I'm very glad she did.
