Dear John 

John Tyree is a tall, young man from North Carolina, USA. He has green eyes and dark hair. He lives with his father when he isn’t serving as a Sergeant in the Special Forces.  He is a goodhearted person that however seems to have a very dark past. His old father, being an autistic, is a very asocial and quiet person, which may have had an influence on John’s way of being and acting. 

In John’s past he had done some things that were very wrong of him and people he meets seems to be scared or harsh on him. However, at this point in the movie, he has changed, whether it’s the army’s doing or something else. The things he has done has left him scared and weakened in his soul. 

John is madly in love with Savannah, a blue-eyed blond girl, who’s from the same place as he is, and he’s ready to take a bullet for her if necessary. The true power love. 

In the movie John goes through a lot of changes, which makes him see things in a new way and gives him a new opportunity of life. However, time can be devastating and cruel.
