Wuthering Heights

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

  1. I'm posting on my own blog so I can figure out how to do this right.

  2. I 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! :-)
