About Prologue：
John cares about Savannah although they can not love each other and be together. John drives his car to Savannah ’s home. He waits and looks at her at a distance. I think until now, John still loves Savannah deeply.
The relationship between John and his father：
It’s an embarrassed and complicated relationship between John and his father. They are so different about their appearance and personality. His dad doesn’t communicate with each other well. I think that the generation gap still exist, they should increase interaction to make them become closer.
Be a son, you should find common issues to attract your parents be interested. John’s dad likes collection of coin, maybe this topic can make his father happy and talkative.
Note 1：
We share with what our parents like: Tea and “Dream of the red chamber.” Introduce their personality, and talk about how to get along with them.
If I were John, what should I do to company with Dad？
If I were John, I would lose my confidence and do what John had done. For teenagers, it’s not easy to control their emotion correctly. They are immature and impulsive, so I can realize that John didn’t know how to keep a good relationship with Father. But I would find out the common issues that Dad cares about, try my best to understand his mind.
John Meets Savannah：
They fall in love at a first sight. I believe it, and regard feeling as the most important thing of love.
Note 2：
Share with our opinions about falling in love at a first sight. One is rational, one is sensitive.
