Idea of the Book
I think the idea that the author was trying to explore was, loving someone for who they are and not what they have. When John first found out that his father had Asperger’s he didn’t want to believe it was true. Understanding that someone you love has a terrible disease can be the hardest part to accept, because you don’t want to think that something like that could happen to someone you love. Once John took it in that it was true, he realized it didn’t matter if his father did have it or not, because his dad still had raised him on his own and he will always love him no matter what.
This idea is important because a lot of people don’t give other people chances if they look different or talk different, and maybe if they would get to know the person they would notice that they are not any different then we are. I think the person with the disease would be thankful for the chance to get to know you, because most of these people still care about everyone. This part of the book taught me a lesson too. It taught me that you should give everyone the same chance to do anything, because you might be surprised of what they can do.

Jessy,
So I love that you read the book before the movie. That is pretty legit. I on the other hand saw it before and bawled my eyes out. I am a tearer. I cry a lot. Your writting is so enjoyable. It is very different. Like i want to cry to how good you are. I should really read Dear John if Hayden is, i should too.:)
Yours truley,
Jessica Thill:)

Jess,
I think if Hayden is reading it you should! Crying is okay, just think if you didn’t cry no one would know how you feel about things. Thank you for the wonderful complement and i hope you enjoy Dear John just as much as I did!
With love,
Jessy(:

Jessy,
The first sentence means so much.
For a very long time I didn’t have a lot and my family was very poor, and to know that some people turned their heads on me because of that is very heart breaking. Now that my family has money, I feel in place, I feel like I am known and liked a lot more. But that’s not true, I guess that’s what money can do to your mind. I personally think that your writing is amazing Jessy, you put so much effort and support in your writing. You can really see who you are in your writing, and that takes a lot. 
Sincerely, Brooke <3

Brooke, Thank you so much! Your money in your family had nothing to do with who you are or who you were freinds with, and i really think that your true friends will always stick with you. I am always here for you(:
Your Friend, Jessy
