Dear John- Characterization

      John is the main character in "Dear John".  His life has been different than others, growing up with only his father, who is a man of very few words.  John was a troublemaker in high school, and joined the army after school to get away from his life snd hopefully get some discipline.  He returns home for a little bit where he meets Savannah, who he likes very much.  He likes her diffefent charming personality, which says a lot about his traits.  Savannah is only there for a church trip where she helps build homes, so she will not stay there long.  John loves spending time.with her, and i think she makes him a better person, even though they havent known each other long.  Not much has been revealed about John so far in this story, but i hope i can get to know his character more because he seems to really open up to Savannah, which will hopefully lead to a great future for the two of them.  Not much is described about John's appearence besides the fact that he has tattoos on him that mean random things, but Sparks does not need to describe his appearence for the reader to imagine what John may look like to them.  John is definetly the protagonist, and I think his view on his life, and especially on his dad changes for the better when Savannah enters his life.
