“Dear John”, is a movie I just watched last night. I remembered I wanted to watch it on the day it first released, but I failed. It was hard to find a seat in the cinema. Now, three weeks have passed. This romantic film finally came to my mind. Therefore, I crabbed a bag of popcorn and enjoyed this wonderful love story with my boyfriend.
The start was like every romantic story. One summer, on the beach, the bag of Savannah fell into the sea and John jumped into the water and got it back to her. They quickly fell in love with each other. However, as the summer went to the end, they had to face the separation. Savannah, a college girl who was studying to be a doctor, needed to go back to school. John, a soldier, who only got two weeks off per year, had to be back to the army and serve the country. In the days they were separated, they wrote to each other regularly. Due to John’s dangerous deployment, their first reunion only lasted for one day. Then John got back to the army. After not hearing from Savannah for two months, he received a letter from her and it said that she was engaged and wanted to broke up with John. John was nearly devastated emotionally and he burned all the letters Savannah wrote him. John got injured in a battle but he chose to extend after cured.
Suddenly, one day he was brought a news that his father with autistic was about to die of illness. He went back to home and told his father all he wanted to say and expressed his deep love to his father. While driving through a country road, John accidently met Savannah, who was already married. He knew that her husband was Tim, a friend of them and was paralyzed due to a cancer. Tim had been in love with Savannah since she was in college. However, Savannah and Tim were suffering from a tough life because they did have enough money to cure Tim’s cancer.
John was sad. He could not believe that their life happened to be like this. He sold all the coins his father collected and donated the money to Tim, anonymously. Finally, Tim’s cancer was cured. Then, John went back to the army, where he considered he belonged to.
I am always a sentimental person. I cried many times while watching this movie. Not only the love between Savannah and John touched me, but also the love between John and his lonely, autistic father made me cry. Love, sometimes is not about always being together. It is also a kind of love that you leave the one love and let her to live a happy life. That’s what John did. His dangerous job could not bring Savannah a concrete home. So, he just left and let her to marry someone that could bring her happiness and a warm home.

Journal2
I just watched the trailer for Harry Potter and the deathly hallows last day. I felt complicated, kind of wanna cry. I have read Harry Potter series since nearly eleven years ago when I was just a grade two child in elementary school. The first time I knew the name “Harry Potter” was from a newspaper. I can still remember clearly that the title of the article was “Everybody knows Harry Potter”. And I thought it was ridiculous at that time. How could be everybody knew him? I didn’t know him. And I was totally not interested in that story. Until one day, my mom and I were in a bookstore. She found the harry potter books, surprisingly. There were only the first four books at that time. And she bought me all of the four.
At first, I didn’t read even one of the books because I felt it was not attracting at all! How stupid I was at that age! The first time I began to read it carefully was when I heard that the novel was going to be show on the screen. And I found out that I could not put the book down. I spent two hours finished reading the first book: Harry Potter and the philosopher’s stone. Then I started reading the next one: Harry Potter and the chamber of the secret. And then the third and the fourth. After reading these four books. I found that I totally fell in love with this story. Sometimes I even imagined that I was one of them and one day I would truly receive a letter brought by a owl.
I felt eager to read the next story. What was going to happen in their next year in Hogwarts? I could not help looking forward to read the end. Finally, I successfully got the seventh book “Harry Potter and the deathly hallows” at my age of sixteen. After finishing reading the last page, I felt kind of despressed. It was the kind of feeling that a old friend, who accompanied me for ten years, has gone. I suddenly realized, Harry and his friends were just like friends in the daily life. I grew up with them! When they graduated from Hogwarts, I was heading my graduation of my high school.
Now, it seems that the real ending is coming. When the last book coming out, I comforted myself we still have movies. It won’t be an end until the last movie showing on screen! However, the fairy tale of my childhood seems going to end on July,2010.
I feel like crying when I am writing these words. When I first getting to know Harry and the characters in the book, I was just a child. And now, I am already an adult, so do them. I will definitely go to the cinema to say goodbye to these old friends but it does not mean that I will forget them. Now I am a college student, I will graduate. I will going to work and I will getting married and having my own child. But these old friends and sweet memories, would never go away from my mind. They accompanied me in my most unforgettable years and made these years amazing.
