Question

What is the significance of the birds in The Notebok?

Answer 1

It doesn't really have a significance it's just supposed to be a sign of tranquility and peace which is something that Allie and Noah always felt when they were together. It might also have something to do with the fact that on the lake, there are hundreds of geese swimming around.

Answer 2

um, WHAT?

Answer 3

The fact that they weren't going to be there much longer, that they belonged someplace else...  Kinda, like Allie did at that time.  She was planning on leaving him again and going back to her fiance.
