THE COTTAGE by Danielle Steel

Part I

REFLECT

I Felt it was a bet amazing when someone who is as pretty , rich and intelligent as Dr. Alexandra Madison manages to fell in love with Cooper Winslow who is an impeccable Hollywood star but probably sixty years older than her, but what happened next really made me surprised I never thought she would still accept Cooper Winslow after having a baby from an unknown Bold star. Considering that this girl. Charlene, had an affair with copper less than a week before cooper met Alex and started dated her I guess it is what we called the power of love. Alex was so in love with cooper that’s why he she heard about cooper`s having a baby it never bothers her. Well I must admit that cooper Winslow is a very attractive man despite of his age. He would probably makes every girls fell in love with him easily. But copper Winslow broke Alex’s kind hearted heart because she found out that cooper Winslow was not really in love with her but instead he was just after her money. Cooper has many debts to pay that`s why he needs someone who can save him fron losing the cottage and from paying his gigantic debts. It made Alexandra`s life miserable. But in the end it was amusing because each character had a great ending. Cooper Winslow married Valerie Westerfield, Jimmy`s personal nurse. Alexandra Madison started to go out with Jimmy O`Cannor. Same with them, Mark Friedman also started dating cooper forty years before.

CONNECT

I guess the reason why cooper Winslow never tries to pursue Liz Sullivan is because he just don’t find Liz to be a good lover but instead he finds her to be a good friend, I think Liz was just so in love with cooper Winslow that she would do everything for cooper though it needs a huge sacrifices’. This sacrifice includes waiting and caring for him till she can. I think cooper was really in love with Valerie that he agreed to marry her. Cooper had many affairs and flirts before but he never thinks of marrying them but now he is more than willing to marry Valerie because I think he really do love her. I guess now enjoys his life being the husband of Ms. Valerie Westerfield and I think they are now planning to have babies. Well in the case of Mark and Tyran, I think they enjoys each company so maybe in the near future they would coincide to marry each other. And for Jimmy and Alex , I guess they had have so much knowing each other more so I guess just like Mark and Tyran they would soon be married they will have their children. And live life happily.

QUESTION

I wonder why cooper Winslow didn’t try to pursue Liz Sullivan, cooper`s secretary. Liz was the same age with cooper and she was so in love with cooper since the first day she saw him. Since .then Liz was always there for him until her hair became gray and though she had been married to Mr. James Thomas O` Cannor she always find time to call cooper for such a long time? Why did she let he life be dependent on cooper Winslow? Why did she let himself waiting for Cooper to fall in love with her? I also can`t figured out how many girls did Cooper Winslow had an affair on. Why did he let himself reach the age of ninety eight before marrying? And I wonder what happened after Jimmy and Alex had been dating? What happened to Mark and Tyran? And what is the felling of cooper Winslow being married to Valerie Westerfield.

PREDICT

When I was young I’ve always wanted to find someone who. Would love me the way I love him. I really do believe in the saying. That everyone is destined to have their own partners in life. Just like in the story every character has their partner. Another connection I had with the story is when my cousin fell in love with a man who is forty years older that her. They had two daughters but they are not married. They relationship didn’t last because the boy just found out that he is not in love with my cousin and was in love with someone else the story reminds me of one the celebrities here in the Philippines. He was Mr. Dolphy Quizon. I think they have some similarities like their age and handsomeness and their profession. They also both married. To a girl who are much younger than them. Ages truly don’t matter as long as you both love each other.
