Journal Blog 7 (p. 94…97)

 

-At any point, write about how you feel while reading a section of the book. Say how what is happening makes you feel and why?

 

Here I want to write about the last pages in this play. (p.94…97)

While reading the last pages I was shocked about that what happens in the end of this play. Mr. Birlings called the Chief Constable- Colonel Roberts and find out, that the inspector who interrogated the family before, wasn’t working as an Inspector by the Police. (p.85)

And Gerald later called the Infirmary (page 94) and found out, that there was no girl which had committed suicide by drinking disinfectant.

To read that makes me very happy. I thought that now the most blame is gone, that they had feared them to early and that this was all about a very bad prank with an obscure reason. As While I was reading that, everything indicated that there is coming a happy end.

But no, I was wrong. And the actor only needed 12 lines to destroy all my good feelings!

I was very disappointed with this. I felt angry and annoyed by that. I didn’t understand and I do still not understand why such an odd end really had to be.

I think we are going to discuss this strange end in our book club. And I think the last Journal Blog will be about this. I will try to explain what I think is behind this end.

    It is very interesting for me to hear / read your opinion. Mine was totally different when I read the book the first time (and the next three times as well :) ).
    Never use "that what" in English, as you did here: "about that what happens". "what" is enough --> "about what happens".

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 mispla...

Journal Blog 8   Questions I want to wright about: -        Say what you think the author is trying to do or say. What is the author’s main message or purpose? Say how well you think the author succeeds in what he is attempting and give reasons for your answers.   Now we have finished reading this play “An Inspector Calls”. I think it has a special end. I mean that, because the end is created, that quite everything I was thinking while reading is collapsed in the end. The whole story seems to begin again, which makes, that the theatre has an open and undefined end. This open end let me start thinking about a possible end and why the author had written such an odd end. Here I want to tell what I had thought the author wants to tell through his stage play before I read the remarks in German which explain the real purpose behind this theatre.   It was difficult for me to take the end of this book like it is written. A...
