Cassandra

I've chosen to read [|Wuthering Heights] by Emily Bronte because I thought I should challenge myself and read books that I don't usually read. The book seemed pretty interesting to me after having read a couple of reviews online. I haven't had so much free time to read due to all the school work I've had. It's been a stressing couple of weeks and unfortunately I haven't had much time to read on my own. But I have read some and from what I've read Lockwood is just pretty much describing his first days at his new job. I'm thinking I want to read more about Lockwood and his job because he mentioned that he saw a beautiful girl that just blew him away. I want to see if he will keep seeing her and maybe build some type of relationship with her. I just need to find and make time to read more.

This book is kind of challenging for me just because of the way it's written. I had the same problem with the book [|__Jane Eyre__] by Charlotte Bronte**,** Emily Bronte's sister. It took me a while to actually understand what was going on. To me, their writing styles are sort of similar. Lockwood attempts to talk to a beautiful woman(I'm guessing it's the same beautiful woman from earlier) but the woman responds in a rude manner. This woman is Mr. Heathcliff's daughter-in-law but Lockwood thought it was Mr. Heathcliff's wife. I'm just wondering why she would be rude to him; All he wanted to do was start a conversation. She is a widow. Is that why she's kind of bitter? I think that if it's her husband's death that made her the way she is, she needs to learn how to let go and move on with life. I understand she might be hurting(whether the death is recent or not) because it does hurt a lot when someone you love passes away, but life goes on; It must go on.

As I read, I still find myself getting lost in the reading. It's not really in a chronological order so I think that makes it easier for me to get confused. It has been a difficult challenge for me not just because I get confused at times, but also because keeping up with the reading while I have lots of homework isn't the easiest thing to do. Maybe in the future if I read more challenging books like this one, I will become a better reader and that's what I'm aiming for. I would feel greatly accomplished if I could go through a whole book like this one without saying I was confused as to what was going on. I know becoming a better reader is going to benefit me later on, but in order for that to happen, I must first challenge myself and read things I wouldn't usually read but are still interesting to me.

One thing I've noticed as the book progresses is that there's not just one, but two narrators. One of the narrator is Lockwood and the other is Nelly Dean. Lockwood is the one who starts the book off, but later on Nelly and Lockwood switch back and forth on being the narrator. Both pick up from where the other left off making it easier for me to keep up. If it wasn't that way, everything would just be all over the place (even thought it kind of already is) and it would be harder to keep up. One of the things that caught my attention is that Lockwood says that Nelly is a very good narrator and that he would never be able to compare to her style of narrating. The way I see it, this makes Lockwood seem like an honest man. Not so much honest to other people, but most of all honest to himself, which is what really counts.
