Essential Question #10

“Go out of the room[…] sentence” (34).

Rewrite:

‘Go out of the room; return to the nursery’ Mrs. Reed said reacting to the look Jane had given her. Mrs. Reed was clearly and irritated by Jane. Jane left the room for the moment, but she quickly returned, walking to the window and the close to Mrs. Reed.

Jane felt the urge to talk. She had been treated wrongly so much, but did not know how to react to Mrs. Reed. She had to think quickly. She gathered up the courage and energy to speak.

Analysis:

The difference in the writing style makes the story completely different. It is harder to feel a connection with Jane. She seems more out of control than mistreated. The story also loses the emotion used to capture the reader. I do not feel as involved in the story as I did. It is nice to see and understand all the emotions of Jane. The 3^rd person view also makes this story a little less enjoyable. 1^st person is the way the story was written and it should stay that way.

Essential Question 9

“How do Robert Walton and Victor Frankenstein compare and contrast as men, scholars, and scientists?”

Robert and Victor both share a common desire to find success. Walton is a captain of a ship looking for new routes of travel while Frankenstein is a scientist driven to find the secrets of life. They both lose touch with those around them. Captain Walton says he feels distanced from his crew while Dr. Frankenstein is locked away for months doing his work. Frankenstein’s work consumes him. Once he has given life to the monster her is horrified by its presence. He leaves his apartment and grows ills at the thought or sight of any scientific equipment. Both men are focused on their work and are determined to succeed in their fields of work, no matter how it affects their lives.

Essential Question 8

Are Petruchio and Katherine in love?

Petruchio and Katherine are not in love. Their relationship did not start with love. Petruchio was used as a tool for Hortensio so that he could try and woo Bianca. Petruchio did not pursue Katherine on the basis of love. It was more of a challenge for Petruchio. He was paid to woo Katherine and that is what it seems to be. He does not show that he loves her. He is trying to tame her. Katherine does not seem to have much love for Petruchio either. She does things to please him, but there does not seem to be much love between the two. She disagrees with him as he tries to tame her, and only agrees with him so that they do not argue. Their relationship lacks love. This does not mean that love is impossible for them to attain. It is just not existent at this point in their relationship.

Essential Question #7

Do you think that Hamlet has created his own insanity, or has he lost his sense of reality completely?

If you were to just quickly read through Hamlet’s statements it would be easy to say that he is just insane, but that is not the case. Hamlet has been struggling through a very difficult time in his life. His father was murdered, and Hamlet is forced to obey the rules of his father’s murderer. Once you take a closer look into the situation Hamlet sanity is very clear. Hamlet is struggling with a giant decision that he has to make. He has to seek revenge for his father’s murder. His emotions take the better of him sometimes. He says, "I am but mad north-north-west. When the wind is southerly, I know a hawk form a handsaw" (107). He is only “mad” sometimes, but he is able to still see the truth in some matters.
