Luck!

Dear Reader,

            In the book, The Lucky One, by Nicholas Sparks, a man seems to be unlucky until he finds a picture of a woman on a beach in Iraq at a military base. He puts the picture on a bulletin board in the base to see if someone would retrieve the picture, but no one did, so he kept the picture. He went to a poker game that night and after losing four nights of poker, he didn’t think that he would win anything. He won all of his money back and more that night. His best friend, Victor, said it was “luck”, but Logan Thibault, the man who found the picture, didn’t believe in superstitions. After he and Victor got out of the military, they went on a fishing trip where Victor got hit head on by a boat. At that, Logan decided to walk from Colorado to find the girl in the photo… if that would ever happen. He decided to stop in a little town in North Carolina called Hampton. He stops at a bar and asks people if they have seen the woman in the photo. He says that he came to this town three years ago and met the girl, but lost her number and couldn’t remember her name. The guys say that he shouldn’t mess with her because she was the ex-wife of the county deputy. He walks the other way in hopes to not attract people who try to follow him. He made the right decision. He walked right on the path leading to the woman’s house and work. Logan walked up the path with his dog, Zeus, right beside him. He saw the woman in the photo step out of the dog kennel, the place she works, which her mom, Nana, started. Logan smiles and stares at the woman. Her name is Beth. Logan decided to ask for a job since he came here with nothing but a few clothes, some food and water for him and some food and water for Zeus. Beth decides to give him an interview since they really need help since Nana’s stroke. Beth thinks that Logan is crazy and weird, so she goes inside her house and asks Nana if she could go interview Logan. Nana accepts him and he starts to work. Ben was scared of him because he thought that he was dangerous because of what his mom had told him. He grew attached to him and Zeus and finally Beth grew fond of him. They start to fall in love until Keith tries to tear them apart. Keith tells Beth that Logan was dangerous and that he had a picture of Beth from when Drake gave it to her. She wasn’t sure whether to believe him or not because Keith had followed her on all of her dates and thought he was lying. She decided to ask Logan and he confessed. He told her everything and they got into a huge fight, but made up a few hours later. Keith came over and was threatening Beth. Ben ran out to the creek and it had been raining for more than a week. He had the picture in his back pocket, but he was drowning and Logan and Keith tried to save him. Zeus saves Ben but Logan and Keith don’t get out so easily, and it ends in someone dying.

            The theme I chose for this story was luck. The picture helped Logan through tough times in the military and other times in his life. He gave it to Ben because he felt that he Ben needed it the most. Luck is the key to “survival” in this story.
