Reflection

   Every book is a reflection of the definite time and culture. If you do not believe me just look though the pages more attentively.

   From my book I have learned some interesting facts about the USA. The main hero is a military man, but this does not prevent his communication with Savannah. They exchange E-mails without any problems. John says that the army is pretty good at setting up computers, even in the middle of nowhere. Unfortunately, I am not sure that we can say the same about our Russian army.

   There is a lot of information not only about the army, but also about the mode of life. For example, food. The characters of the story mention about cheeseburger a lot of times. Of course, they are real Americans! “How about a big, juicy cheeseburger?”  And also John’s father cooks carrot loaf every weekend. On the pages of “Dear John” you can find detailed descriptions of houses, furniture and nature. They help pictures in your head to grow up.

   It is curious that Savannah’s family has a very nice tradition to write letters to those people who they care a lot about. That is what they do on just every holiday. “We tell them what they mean to us and how much we look forward to the time when we will get to see them again.” It is a great pleasure to receive letters from dear and close people. I hope that someday it will be my tradition too.
