Hi, this is my first real posting on Wuthering Heights. I am really excited about it because I've heard so much about it from my friends and from literary references.
I chose this book because I have hated hearing references to this book in some of the other books I've read that I just don't understand, and it will be nice to finally 'get' what they're talking about. Also, the little I know about the characters was fascinating and Cathy sounds awesome, if perhaps selfish. I was reading the intro when I was startled to hear that it was told from two perspectives, which I hadn't expected. It sounds like a challenging read, too, which is nice because some books are just too easy to be interesting.
Speaking of challenge, this book will probably challenge me a lot, but with a dictionary I should be able to understand all the words. I'm more worried about how older English writingis spoken and I think most of what the cahracters say will be decipherable. I'm going to ask my mom and dad to help me out with that. Maybe I could find out more about what Old English is supposed to mean!! Off the internet of course.
Ciao for now,
Carli

I'm posting on my own blog so I can figure out how to do this right.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you'll see any Old English in this book. The phrasing might not be what you're used to, but once you start to figure out a few of the vocabulary words, you'll be fine! :-)
