Love Story (Chap 8-22)

In those chapters we know that Jenny was awarded with her degree and she invites in her graduation ceremony all her relatives. It is interesting how Oliver tells about the rings, even though they soon will be married none of them was wearing rings in that day. As Oliver said "none would be offended". On the other hand, Jenny introduced Oliver to her family and teased him that he "still is not a college graduate". But soon Oliver graduated from Harvard and he was so proud of himself. It seems like everything goes as they planed; they graduated from college and now they just wait for the marriage. Well, the day when they got married finally came. In the ceremony they invited just their close relatives. After they got married they moved to North Cambridge in a small apartment and they were surviving without the help of Oliver's father. I noticed that Oliver and his father did not have a good relationship; Oliver's father is a rude man without feeling who shows no affection to Oliver. In the story we find him indifferent toward his son and always opposing his son’s desires.  After that, it comes the part when Oliver goes to meet Jenny’s father. At the beginning he was afraid that Jenny’s father will not accept him-but that was not the case. Opposite from Oliver’s father, Jenny’s father likes Oliver a lot. Then, it comes the part when Oliver applies for scholarship. On the other hand, in the story we notice Oliver a little bit aggressive. He and Jenny were invited to his's father 60th birthday. Oliver did not want to go and Jenny told him that they must go because his father is caring for him. Even though Jenny insists on going at birthday party, at the end they did not go. Then, she calls Oliver's father in order to tell him that they will not be going, she is so sorry and that Oliver loves him so much. When Oliver heard this he told her "Why dont you get the hell out of my life"? Well, from that moment we can see that Jenny was upset with Oli and decided not to stay home rather than escaping from him. While Oliver was seeking for her everywhere, Jenny was waiting in front of their home. Oliver apologies to her and Jenny say “I come here because I forgot the key”. Oliver again says to her “Im sorry”. Then, Jenny replies “Love is never having to say you are sorry”. When everything was going in a perfect way, there seems to be something stops this young couple from being totally happy. Jenny is diagnosed with leukemia. Oliver somehow feels guilty because he does not let Jenny to go to Paris (her dream was to visit Paris) and wants to make her dream a reality but Jenny rejects his offer. She said to him you don’t need to do this because I just need you. At the end of the novel Oliver is left in a tragic world together with Phill expecting for the worse to happen. Jenny dies and her last words were “Thanks, Ollie”.
