Author’s Note – This novel is quite an interesting one. I believe that this story has a sense of ambiguity to it so far, because it is very unclear of how the characters feel about themselves and toward one another.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde comprise of what is known to be a love-hate relationship. Mutually, they have a life-long friendship with various reminiscences that both will not fail to remember. This friendship has led the men to an uncanny future, in which those mutual feelings are vanishing. But, when reading the novel, it is unclear to the readers of how the men feel. Indirectly, I feel the readers have to really dig deep into the story to understand the crazy, little world Jekyll and Hyde are living in. Personally I don’t know how the men are feeling toward one another; there is a sense of ambiguity floating through my mind. Although Hyde appears to be making some appalling choices, Jekyll probably fears losing his life-long friendship with him. According to Jekyll, “I have really a very great interest in poor Hyde. I know you have seen him; he told me so; and I fear he was rude. But I do sincerely take a great, very great interest in that young man” (58). Jekyll and Hyde maintain a very powerful friendship, but every friendship eventually begins to crumble due to lack of stability. I fear that this friendship will plummet in the upcoming chapters, for the benefits of the will. I don’t think the end of this friendship will be pleasant, but I guess we will have to wait and see.
Brenna this was a good response. I really liked the diction and great use of vocab. Your writing flowed well together, but I think something you could improve on in the future is that don't just talk about what you think, and simply add a quote. Have a main subject to talk about. Otherwise it was good and I like your blog!
ReplyDeleteGood job Brenna! I really like your diction. I think it adds to your analysis very well. You have a very interesting point of view on where this story might be heading and you did a good job of portraying your thoughts. My only suggestions would be the same as Samm's: maybe just focus a little bit more on one topic. Maybe building on one specific piece of evidence that supports your ideas would help. But either way your story was very well written! :)
ReplyDeleteNice job Brennda! You had a great use of diction, and like Gabrielle said, you have a interesting point of view. The only thing I would suggest for you would be to write something with more emotion that really makes people think. Other than that great job!
