From the Paper
"Although John Cassavetes is often regarded as one of the greatest independent film makers of all time, the beginning period of his career in film was actually spent acting. It was this experience that subsequently contributed the primary influence in each film he would later make. From the start, Cassavetes was a passionate performer. His initially insignificant roles were played with an eager intensity - mostly as a result of pure excitement for having made it to the stage at all (Cassavetes?s career began with a long period in which he was unable to find work) - and this same intensity pervaded all of the star roles he would later play once he had established himself as a reputable actor."

Abstract
This paper reviews the book and the screenplay of 'The Notebook' comparing the differences. The paper discusses the changes made from the novel to the screenplay and explains the reasons for these changes.
From the Paper
"The story is told in two lengthy sections, one as a wrap-around and the other as the body of the novel. In the wraparound, the story is told in the first person, directly by Noah, though he is not so identified until late in in the novel. For most of the novel, he is merely the unidentified man reading from a notebook, reading the story about Noah and Allie to the woman he wants to reach. The central portion is what he reads to her, and in that story, there is no clear resolution because the story only takes the couple to a point where Allie has to make a decision and faces her fiancee, Lon, at that moment. She has by this time written to Noah and seems to be telling him she loves him but perhaps that they will only have memories of each other, while she approaches Lon without knowing what she is going to say to him. The irony is clear in that this talk of memories is belied by the current day situation in which Allie has lost her memory entirely, while Noah tries to revive it by reading the same story each day."
