TRJ #6- Original- Comparing Allie Nelson and Sujin Kim

When I read the novel ‘The Notebook’, I remembered watching the Korean melodramatic movie ‘Eraser in my head’. I could easily remember seeing that movie because of the fact that movie was the story of Alzheimer’s patient, just like second part of novel. Although Allie Nelson in the book and Sujin Kim in movie have many differences, there are some similarities between two of them. They have a husband who loves her very much. Chul-soo Choi is husband of Sujin, and he feels much pain while watching her but doesn’t leave her. Noah also shows a great love toward his wife Allie throughout his whole life. Furthermore, they had a passion and talent to their jobs, or works. Allie showed great ability and passion in painting, which she could gain again because of Noah. Before she knew she was ill, Sujin worked at suit designing company and was a capable designer. They are both lovely and beautiful woman, and have both tender and confident side. However, Allie married and lived with Noah for long time, like 45 years or more until she knows that she got ill, but Sujin knew the fact right after she married. Despite the fact that Allie is in her 60s (or 70s) and Sujin is in her 30s, two female characters have big similarity that they showed great love story with their husbands. Since I compared two of them and read the novel, I could more enjoy the book and think about the topic again.
