Nicholas Sparks always writes Love story. Many years ago, I watch a movie—The notebook, I like it. Even put the novel in my book list. I cancel it , just because book list too long. In that moment, I do not know the writer is Nicholas Sparks.


 


   Dear Johnshow up in my book list one year ago. I still do not know who is Nicholas Sparks. Until this year, Mr. Sparks has new book again. The network bookstore does sales promotion, if you buyDear JohnandThe choicehave discount.


 


     I read Dear Johnfirst, the story does not move me. There are a lot of people do the same thing as John. ButThe choicelet me thinking different way.


 


    The choicehas two parts. First part, describe Travis how to meet Gabby. Second part, describe Travis has to make big decision. Travis and Gabby’s meet can let us think perhaps really has is doomed. Actually Travis is a third party. Gabby is betraying her boyfriend-Kevin. But in the story I thought that many people can neglect this.


 


     Travis is handsome and rich. Gabby is so personality. They see real themselves in each other eye. It is so romantic. Gabby should not sex with Travis before break up with Kevin. It is unforgivable. Maybe Gabby already find out impossible with Kevin, in this time, she meet Travis and let it happened in one weekend. Why person is not loyal to love, still can get true loveIs writer want to tell usI believe true love and encourage people to pursue it. But you cannot hold someone and still find another one. Gabby should finish with Kevin’s sentiment and date with Travis. We cannot let the physiological desire defeat the reason.


 


     Second part talk about Travis and Gabby finally to get out of Kevin. They are happiness and have two daughters. One day, Travis mistake had car accident to cause Gabby unconscious. Gabby has a contract. If she unconscious over 12 weeks and will pull out her Nasgastric tube , let she dying.


 


     It is time, Travis struggle with Gabby’s wish and his selfishness. He love Gabby so much, he cannot do it. He still let Gabby’s life and transfers to the sanatorium from the hospital. Then he starts to resume to normal life. Miracle is coming, Gabby wake. The time seems to stop during gabby in coma. It is not too tremendous influence to Gabby. Then whole family is happiness again.


 


     This is a happy ending story. I doubt really has such lucky matter to occur in the world. I always have the same thought with Gabby. If I become disabled or unconscious, please let me die. It is better to me.


 


     You can say I am cruelly. Sometime I see these vegetables, can regain consciousness the probability approaches in zero. The euthanasia is not legitimately in our country. It makes many families incomplete. It makes conscious people cannot move on. The sanatoruims’s expense is expensive. Not everyone as rich as Travis. If Travis cannot bear all expenses, does he still want to lengthen Gabby’s life? He has two little daughters. He should use money to raise his daughters or lengthen vegetable wife’s life?


 


     I definitely understand Travis’s small hope, Gabby will wake someday. Lucky is he, the day come. When I read the end, I think two ways. First, if I am that person of wait miracle, what kind of force support me to wait for that I am not sure answer? Travis love Gabby too much, how much love can change the power of wait?


 


    Second, if I unconscious like Gabby. They according my contract of when I make it in sober. Take away my Nasgastric tube and finish my life, do I really want it? If I have chance to wake, do I kill me by myself? I do not know, when people in coma , can they hear voice or not. It divided into two sects in the medicine. I support the sect ofyes.


 


     If really can hear voice, I know that the beloved person appear everyday in beginning. Tell me their feelings but I can do any response. Causes they response to themselves that can be grieved. The human have the inertia. Everyday in beginning then turn to once a week. The times gradually will become few. It is so sad. If the coma’s people know they will wake in someday. Their family want patient dream come true because the contract. Do I not yell in that not response body? Not everyone as lucky asJust like heaven’s actress, can find one guy to stop to take away Nasgastric tube.


 


     Before reading, I very firm to think that turned the vegetable certainly to finish the life, but after read the book, I vacillated. No matter I am a stupor or wait someone wake, let me have different idea. I still think thatthe choiceaccording youreconomy. This is realistic.


    



         尼可拉斯‧史派克向來是以寫愛情故事為主,多年前我看過一部電影『手扎情緣』,還蠻喜歡的,甚至將原著小說列入書單之中,只是要買的書太多了,只好將它刪除,在當時我根本不知道原著作者是尼可拉斯‧史派克。


       到了一年前我的書單中有了『分手信』,這個時候我還是不知誰是尼可拉斯‧史派克,直到今年史先生又出新書,網路書店做促銷兩本合購有折扣,所以我一口氣買了分手信及抉擇。


        我先看了分手信,故事其實沒有太打動我,因為那樣的結局其實很多人都會做。可是抉擇卻讓我有了不同的想法。


        抉擇分為兩部份的故事,第一部份是敘述男女主角的相遇,第二部份是說男主角要做出的重大抉擇。男女主角的相遇會讓人覺得也許真的有註定這句話,事實上男主角崔維斯是第三者,而女主角嘉比是個劈腿的女人;可是在故事中我想很多人都會忽略這點。


        因為男的又帥又多金,女的又是這麼有個性,雙方在彼此眼中看到真正的自己,多浪漫呀。但是嘉比不應該在還沒跟男友分手就跟男主角上床,真是不可原諒。或許嘉比已經發現跟男友可能走不下去了,這時碰到了鄰居崔維斯,只不過一個週末就天雷勾動地火了,為什麼對感情不忠的人還可以獲得真愛呢?這是作者要告訴我們的事嗎?我不是不相信真愛,也不是反對努力追求真愛,只是不能騎驢找馬呀,嘉比應該要先結束跟男友凱文的感情,再投入崔維斯的懷抱,不能讓生理慾望戰勝理智。


        第二部份講的就是男女主角終於擺脫了那個男友,然後兩人幸福快樂的生活在一起還生了兩個女兒,因為崔維斯的過錯發生了車禍導致嘉比昏迷不醒。嘉比之前就有立下生前契約:如果發生了昏迷不醒超過十二週就要拔掉鼻胃管,讓生命慢慢走向盡頭。


        十二週的時間到了,崔維斯在嘉比的願望及自己的私心中做掙扎,他太愛嘉比了所以下不了手,他繼續維持嘉比的生命,並把她從醫院移到療養院,然後開始恢復正常生活,結果天降奇蹟,嘉比醒了,在昏迷的這段時間就好像時間停止般,對嘉比並沒有太大的影響,然後一家人又幸福快樂的過日子。


        這真是一個happy ending的故事,我就在想世界上真的有這麼幸運的事發生嗎?我一直都有跟嘉比一樣的想法,就是如果發生意外斷手斷腳或是昏迷不醒,就讓生命結束吧,對我來說賴活不如好死呀。


        說我殘忍好了,有時我看著那些植物人,能甦醒的機率近乎於零,我國的安樂死並不合法,這樣造就了多少破碎的家庭,讓清醒的人的日子沒辦法繼續前進。療養院不是不用錢,不是每個人都跟崔維斯一樣多金,如果崔維斯沒辦法負擔這些費用他會選擇繼續延長嘉比的生命嗎?他還有兩個嗷嗷待哺的女兒,他要把錢拿來照顧女兒還是維持那植物人的妻子呢?


        我當然知道崔維斯抱著微小的希望,覺得有一天嘉比會醒過來,他很幸運,真的讓他等到那一天。當我看到結局時,我朝兩個方向思考,第一如果我是那個等待奇蹟發生的人,會是什麼力量支撐著我在等待一個看不到未來的答案,崔維斯太愛嘉比了,到底有多愛才能化成這種等待的力量?


        第二如果我是像嘉比是昏迷的人,我真的希望對方按照我清醒時所立下的合約拔掉鼻胃管好結束生命嗎?如果我有機會像嘉比一樣清醒呢?我是不是親自扼殺我自己了?我不知道昏迷的人對外界的聲音是否有知覺,在醫學上也分為兩派人馬,我其實偏向有知覺的那方。


        如果真的有知覺,知道自己心愛的人一開始每天出現在床邊,傾訴自己的心情但你不能做任何回應,導致對方自問自答,那會多心痛。人都是有惰性的,一開始的每天一定會變成一個星期一次,漸漸的次數會變更少,在床上不能動的我又是何等傷心。如果昏迷的人知道自己有一天會醒,可是因為自己立的契約,而執行者又那麼巧的要照你的心願讓你好走,我會不會在那外表沒反應的軀體中大叫,因為又不是每個人都會如「出竅情人」中的女主角那麼幸運找到一個可以阻止的人。


        看書前我很堅定的覺得變成植物人就一定要結束生命,但看完書後我動搖了,不管我會不會成為昏迷者或是等待的那方,都讓我有了不同的想法,可是我依然覺得「決定」是依你的「經濟能力」而做的,這就是現實面。
