Wuthering Heights

In the first two chapter we get to know the main characters. Mr. Heathcliff is not nice and I don't know about Lockwood. Who is that girl? Where did she come from? Is there going to be something between Lockwood and her? This seems like a interesting book but it feels as though there will be twist and turns in it alot.

The Victorian Age

The Victorian Age seems as if it should be really good. We start to see whats what and how people change over a short period of time. Withering Heights seems like it should be good. The poems that I read last night we kind of gloomy. At least to me they were. In Browning's poem all I got out of it was death and when he dies he will be with his love again. The soul of his soul as he put it. This shows that he really loves her and he wants her back really bad. Hopefully the poems get happier as we go on.

Romantic Age Test

The test i thought was over all ok but I'm not gonna say I did good because then it would bite me in the butt...I know for sure though that my last essay was terrible because for some reason I don't even remember talking about Prometheus...So hopefully I did ok (:

Upcoming paper!

ahh im so nervous for this next paper! it seems really challenging. and it stresses me out how much points its worth but i am extreamly greatful that we have two full weeks to complete it, now i just need to make sure i dont procrastinate lol. from the example that we did with goldy locks it seemed reallly difficult to tackel this story from approaches other then psychoanological, so im deffinatly going to go with the one i feel most confident about.

Frankenstein

The frankenstein book was a lot different then what hollywood makes it out to be. I actually really liked it, at times it would be kinda boring but overall the story made me really think and like sad. because the monster and frankenstein both had miserable lives because of this creation, and it just makes me think about things i do in my life and how there consequences to everything. It also really refelcted on to the romantic era of how nature should be the almighty power and what we should look to to learn stuff but not to try to fight nature because the reprocutions will be far worse and thats exactly what happens in the book, like its saying life is better left simple.

Frankenstein

Frankenstein was actually not that bad, at first it started off boring and confusing at some parts. Then it started getting into the story and got kind of interesting. I like how they showed Frankenstein's side of the story then the monsters side. I thought it was interesting how at the end of the book the monster cried because his master died but through the book he was killing his family and friends and tried to kill him.
