Blog 6 The Notebook

I have started to read the book The Notebook. The book starts off by giving a detailed conclusion of one of the main characters, Noah Calhoun. He is a guy who was a relaxed and lonely man. He recently moved to this little town called New Bern and he moved into one of the oldest houses in this town. His whole life since he was young he has had a dream to restore the house and make it look new. Later on in the chapter, it starts talking about how he feels it is his fault that he is lonely. Then he starts remembering about the day that he had met his first love; summer of 1932. He explains how that summer haunts him up to this day because of all enjoyable memories he made.
While I started reading this book I noticed that they make a lot of "Memory Moments". One of the most important memories that the author has talked about is when Noah remembers the memories about that summer with the girl. "They rode in canoes and watched summer thunderstorms, and to him it seemed as though they'd always known each other." The author wrote this sentence because he is explaining how much love he showed towards her. So I think this flashback memory that Noah had explains to us the beginning of his story. It also shows us who this girl was to Noah which will be important later in the story.

As I continued reading the biography of Justin Timberlake, I started reading a different part of his life. Putting aside his present career. I am now reading a part where it started talking about his childhood years. His whole family was all about music and arts. So he has been surrounded by music his whole life.His mother, she played several different types of instruments. His dad was a bluegrass singer and led a church choir. His grandfather was a guitarist. With all this music, it is not surprising that he began singing at a young age. His school years were not so good. He got made fun of by other kids because he had very curly hair and lots of acne. To not feel as bad, Justin decided to join sports. He also joined violin and choir classes. He progressed his talent during this time and got to a level where his performing arts were getting to a high level. His mom later decided to sign him up for a television show to be part of it. He was very lucky because he got the role. And from there his acting skills were started.

The nonfiction book I have started to read is about Justin Timberlake and it is by Marcia Amidon Lusted. So far the first chapters are about how he has been rising in his career. Like that not only is he a singer, but he is also an actor and dancer. He has already a Grammy Award-Winning singer and songwriter. There was a certain time period where he took a break from music recording and writing. So he concentrated more on television and movie. He has been in voice of characters in several movies like Yogi Bear and Shrek The Third. He was also took roles in movies like Bad Teacher, Friends with Benefits, and In Time.  In 2011, Timberlake started being a frequent guest on the comedy television show Saturday Night Live. 
I can connect to this biography about JT to a magazine that I read about a year ago about this same guy. The first chapters that I have read so far talk about how all the events that lead him to where he is now. The magazine also explained how from when he was a young adult he has been in bands and acting and how those events lead up to where he is now. In addition, Timberlake has raised lots of money for all he has done since the time back then.
