Quotation Connection

"Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right using of strength"   Henry Ward Beecher

 The main idea of this quote is that being strong is one thing, but using its power in the right force is another. In A Walk to Remember main character, Jamie Sullivan, is a very strong girl in the right force. She is diagnosed with terminal leukemia and has to accept the fact that she will soon die. She uses the greatness in her love of god to push forward and live the life she can before her time comes.

  Jamie happened to have the strength she did and it's a good thing too. She was strong because she knew she was going to die. She loved Landon, male main character, very much and she knew she had to be strong for him. Also she had to be steong for her father, Jamie was all he had left. She was strong by not giving up on herself nor god, nor everyone else that had been there through these tough times. As a result, Jamie passed away and went with god. She suffered a long hard fight but in that moment her pain had ended. This was a negative yet positive outcome. Negative because she had to leave her loved ones and she was very young when she passed, positive because her pain and suffering was over. Her death did outline her greatness and strength. Everyone that knew her knew how strong she'd been and how much she fought. It was tragic, but a relief at the same time.
