Organization

  • Frequent Flashbacks
  • Why charters are the way they are
Sparks frequent use of flashbacks in his writing do an excellent job at telling the reader why certain characters are the way they are. I find this helpful, because it gives you a personal insight and makes the writing more personable.

Theme: Pathos

Sparks writing appeals heavily to pathos. His tea- jerking love stories have a way to make you want to curl up in bed and shed a far amount of tears in the process. personally, I love this style of writing because it's really personal and for a few moments you forget that what you read was just part of a book and not actually real life.

Language/ Vocab

appeals to emotions
Sparks use of language and vocab go hand in hand with his common theme of pathos. He uses words such as "soulmates" and "fate" to really emphasize his point and really pull the strings on our hearts.

How Many People Mary their True Love?

Out of a survey of 2,000 people, 73% stated that they settled and married their current partner because of fear that they will never truly have a soul mate or are unable of being with that soul mate. A slim 27% said that they married their true love.

Do love novels come true?

The love novels like Sparks write often time give women unrealistic expectations about love. As well as it gives men a certain quota to meet to be considered "the perfect gentlemen".
