The first summer scene of the Notebook when Noah first sets his sights on Allie at the carnivel is when summer itsself is portrayed through the characters. The actors are typical highschoolers, living it up in the summer with friends, free spirited and care free. Fin, Noah's right hand man, sees the way Noah looks at Allie for the first time, saying she is here for the summer with her family. This almost explains Allie as the season, saying she has come but nothing is perminent and however only temporary. Later in the movie we find she is only temporary, she comes with the season and leaves with it. The way the actors act towards eachother at first shows a chilling harsh reality of rejection, as if the season is conveyed through Allie not only in a temporary come and go kind of way but also describes her as a tease toward Noah, just like the first months of summer and last months of spring play with the minds of many students giving us just a taste of the nice weather we want but then taking it away just like that. Just like that Allie is gone and Noah had only those short months, just like summer is only two short months.
