The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks is an inspirational book because it brings out tears to readers. After reading this book, I felt that the author had lots of purposes in writing this book. One of his purpose was to convince readers that parents are really important and they should spend more time with them before they leave them alone in their world.
Ronnie ignored his dad for three years and when she tried spending time with him or forgive him, his dad had gotten cancer and was about to die.
“ I played for him as long as I could, mom. And I tried so hard to make it beautiful for him, because I knew how much it meant to him. But he was just so weak,” she whispered.” ( pg 448)
Ronnie regretted for not forgiving her dad earlier enough or even gave her dad a chance to explain what was going on within those three years. After she found out the truth about why her parents divorced and she realized that it wasn’t her dad’s fault, her mind was full of regrets. She really wanted her dad back where she can play more piano music for him. Ronnie showed that she was missing him very much and wish that none of this would had happen.
The author tried to tell readers to appreciate their parents because they will leave some times in life and they may not see them again. Ronnie was an example where she was mad at her dad and when she was finally forgiving her dad, she knew it was to late. Her dad was about to leave her world. I believe the author did a really good job with integrating this purpose into the book because at the end, readers were able to learn the concept of appreciating parents after reading the scenes of how Ronnie and his dad tried to spend as much time with each other as they could but they knew it wasn’t just enough. After reading this book, the message had brought readers to understand how important it is to care for their family and spend more time with them.
