Landon Carter
Landon
Carter is the protagonist. He is a popular student in his school, not like many other students. Landon attends church every Sunday. He is polite to his parents and
teachers, comfortable wearing a jacket and tie when meeting with adults, he's
never arrogant and Landon is a well-behaved teenager.
Landon
wasn't an open person. No one in his life is asking him to be anything more, not
his friends, not his parents, and not his teachers. His life's performance is
satisfactory, and no one sees any reason to change it. No one, that is, until Jamie
Sullivan enters his life. Landon begins to compare himself to her, and he finds
himself sorely wanting. Jamie is everything for him.
Landon's
always with Jamie when frustrates and intrigues him. He marvels that anyone is
naturally that good, selfless, and cheerful, at the same time that he feels
pressure to be better and guilt over having been less than he could be all
these years. It is that pressure and guilt that create an opportunity for
Landon to grow, not into just a typical teenage boy but an extraordinary young
man.
