Semester Break. I went home at Pasir Puteh, Kelantan. I just bring along my laptop and my novel, A Walk To Remember. I had deciced to choose and use this novel for assessment task 4 that required me to review a book. I admit that I never read this novel although I really like it. My interest increase dramatically right after I watched its movie starred by Teen Idol, Mandy Moore and pop star, Shane West. I already started to read it two days before the holiday begin. Instead of start to read it, I realized that I have to make a preparation for further assessment to avoid any clash between any other subject. While I was at home, I used all of my holiday's time to finish it up. After read it all, I found a lot of differences between the novel and the movie. This movie is just based on the novel not adaptation from its original story. From my opinion, the words "based on" and "adaptation" are trully different. What I think is based on is the director going to use certain part of the true story which interesting and beautiful and he or she going to edit several part of it. For adaptation, the person who in charge with script of the story will use all the content of the real ones. Hopefully, it is accepted by everybody. Back to the novel, the writer is Nicholas Sparks. He writes the novel based on his own experience. he dedicated his work to his sister that died because of the chronic illness similar to what had been storied in the novel. And his work is really awesome!
