Most important line from The Lucky One


The Picture of Elizabeth Green that Logan Thibault
found while serving in the Marines.


The most important line from chapter 6 (Thibault):

"Thibault swallowed. Who is she?
Beth Green, they said. She's a teacher at Hampton Elementary and lives with her grandma in the house at Sunshine Kennels.
Beth Green. Or, more accurately, Thibault thought, Elizabeth Green."


Information you might want to know: Logan Thibault found a picture of a women while serving in the Marines, he didn't know who it was but ever since he found the picture he has been lucky. (the picture above is from the movie The Lucky One). Once he was done serving in the Marines he went to find the girl that was in the picture. He walked all the way from Colorado to Hampton, North Carolina to find her.


Why this quote is important: I chose this quote to be the most important because this where Logan Thibault figures out where the girl in the picture is and what her name is. The following day Thibault when to Sunshine Kennel to apply for a job which is when he meets Beth or Elizabeth Green. I think the picture will have a much larger roll in the story as I get further into the book. Logan and Elizabeth might start to develop feelings for each other (its a Nicholas Sparks book of course there has to be some romance!), but I also think that Beth's ex- husband might try to pull them apart because that's what he does with any other guy Beth likes.

Right or Wrong?

The Lucky One by Nicholas Sparks

Even though I have just started this book there is already a character who doesn't quiet seem normal. His name is Thibault and he is French but has lived in America his whole life. He was an army brat until about age 15 when his dad died two years after retiring form the marines.  Thibault knew he wanted I good education and follow in his fathers footsteps so he went to Colorado University and the enrolled in the Marines. He went to training and then was sent off. While serving in the Marines he found an odd picture of a girl with a shirt that said 'lucky lady' on it. He figured that it was someone's and put it on the bulletin board and no one took the picture. After a while he took the picture for him self and put it in his pocket. He went to play picker with some friends and he won pretty much every game and at that point he knew it was all because of the picture. Years later he still has the picture in his pocket, and he still a very lucky because of it. Do you think it was right for him to keep the picture or do you think he should have left there for the owner to fine? I'm assuming the picture will have a much larger roll in the book as I progress through the book and it will bring him more luck, unless he looses it of course. Tell me if you think he made the right or wrong decision below.
