The Notebook



This story begins with an old man who is reading a book to an old woman who has Alzheimer. The book treats on a girl, Allie Hamilton, who arrives with her family on a small town in North Carolina to pass the summer.

Once there, she meets a boy, Noah Caulhoun, in a theme park. She's an upper-class girl, and he's a working-class boy, but they fall in love immediately.
They spend so much time together and they are happy for a few weeks, but then some trouble start to appear. Allie's parents don't agree with the relationship and they don't like Noah for being a lower-class boy. Noah and Allie have a discussion because of this, and they break up. On the next day, Allie's parents decide to leave the town immediately and return to the city, so Allie can't reconcile with Noah.

Noah doesn't know anything about what happened, and he sends letters to Allie, but her mother doesn't give them to Allie and she doesn't receive them. Then, Noah goes on World War II with his best friend.

Years later, he comes back and he decides to restore an old house he liked so much and where he spent so much time with Allie.
When he finishes restoring it, he appears on the newspaper and Allie sees it. She decides to visit him and they talk about how important they where to each other, but there is a big problem. After many years separated, Allie met another man and she's now compromised with him.

Allie's mother decides to tell her the truth and she gives her all the letters which Noah sent her. Allie decides to go back with Lon, the man who is compromised with her. On her way back, she starts reading all the Noah letters, and she starts crying. She arrives at the hotel and talks with Lon. She knows she should be with him but she loves Noah and she goes back with him. When she arrives, they kiss and they hug for a long time, but then the old man stops reading.

The old woman recognizes him. She realizes that’s their own love story and she hugs the old man, Noah. But it won’t be for much time, so she says him that she loves him and then she doesn’t remember anything.  Noah has to leave her room, and in the night he visits her and he lays in bed with her. Next morning, a nurse found both of them in bed. They died happy and loving each other like the very first day.

The Lord of the Rings

The story takes place in the context of historical events in North-West Middle-earth. Long before the start of the novel the Dark Lord Sauron forged the One Ring in the year 1600 of the Second Age to gain power over other rings held by the leaders of MenElves and Dwarves. He is defeated in battle in the year of 3441 of the Second Age, and Isildur, son of Elendilcuts off his Ring and claims it as an heirloom for his line. Isildur is later killed by Orcs, and the Ring is lost in the river Anduin. Over two thousand years later, the Ring comes into the hands of the hobbit Déagol, who is then strangled to death by his friend Sméagol, who takes the ring, is banished from his community and hides under the mountains, where the Ring transforms him over the course of hundreds of years into a twisted, corrupted creature called Gollum. Eventually he loses the Ring, which, as recounted in The Hobbit, is found by Bilbo Baggins. Meanwhile Sauron takes a new physical form and reoccupies Mordor, his old realm. Gollum sets out in search of the Ring, but is captured by Sauron, who learns that Bilbo Baggins has the Ring. Gollum is set loose, and Sauron, who needs the Ring to regain his full power, sends forth the Ringwraiths, his dark, fearsome servants, to seize it.
Later, Frodo Bolson, the hobbit that found the ring,  most go to the Mordor to throw it into the volcan of one of Mordor's mountains, then all will finish, but the obsesionated Gollum, won't let him do it, so he stoped Frodo, but at least the ring falls into the lava, in hand's from Gollum. At this moment, all the creatures made by Sauron, fall into the earth, and Sauron also.
