When Landon has trouble learning his lines, he asks Jamie for help. She agrees to help him if he promises not to fall in love with her. Landon laughs off the strange remark, believing Jamie to be the last person with whom he would ever fall in love. Landon and Jamie begin practicing together at her house after school.

The two form a tentative friendship, and Landon learns that Jamie has a wish list of all the things she hopes to do in her life. b.

Jamie tells him the reason why she didn’t tell him because she was moving on with her life and using the time she left but then Landon happened and she fell in love with him. c. Climax(highest point of interest) The highest point of interest in the story was during the play, Jamie astounds Landon and the entire audience with her beauty and voice. Landon kisses Jamie during the play, which was not in the script, and Landon tries to get close to Jamie, but she repeatedly rejects him. d. Solution to the Problem

Knowing Jamie’s leukemia, Landon goes to his doctor father’s house and asks him to help Jamie. His father freaks out a bit and says that he needs to examine Jamie and know her medical history before he could do anything. Landon and Jamie make up the next day. They hug and he tells her that he will be there for her. Soon, word gets out about Jamie’s illness. Eric, Landon’s best friend comes and tells him how sorry he is and that he didn’t understand. Dean and Belinda both come and apologize. Jamie’s cancer gets worse. Her father rushes her to the hospital where he meets Landon. Landon doesn’t leave Jamie’s side.
