Journal Blog 1 (p. 7…18)
Questions I want to wright about:
-
Write about something happening in the book that you
can relate to? How did you react, Try to put yourself in the characters shoes
and say why you think they feel the way the way they do.
In these pages in the beginning
of the story, we get to know main characters a little bit. I know now Mr. and
Mrs. Birlings and their children Eric and Sheila, who is just engaged with her
love Gerald.
I want to pick out Erics
character. I realized that Eric reacted in some dialogs between the different
members unsuitable. For example, he suddenly started laughing in the middle of
a happy family talk. (p. 9) Another example for his dubious behaviour is showed
on page 11. In this situation, he makes an unpleasant statement about Sheila,
after the parents have wished all the best for the young couple. This
expression was not very friendly and as I already said: very misplaced! As I
read this part of the story I started to thinking about Eric and his possible
views. Because of that I try to put myself in his situation I recognize, that
he presumably was a little bit jealousy of the fresh engagement of his sister
and Gerald.
Also in my live I experienced two
engagements from my brothers and sisters. But if I found out, that my sister-
and one year later my brother- is going to marry, I was very happy and pleased
about this fact.
Because of these events I can
say, that the behaviour from Eric was different from mine, at least in this
situation.

Ok, though you weren't really able to relate with Eric here. But you've experienced the same situation as him and felt differently than what you think he is feeling. That's interesting. Pay attention:
ReplyDeletewright --> write
started to thinking --> started to think (after "to" always put infinitive)
jealousy --> that's the noun. you need the adjective "jealous" here.
