pg. 66 paragraph 10
"Little Emma grow...half so conceited." The quote from this paragraph is important because here is where Isabella tells her 8 month year old baby, Emma, about how to be infinitely cleverer and not half as conceited as her younger sister, Emma. She also mentions how Emma should be setting a better example around her children. Isabella feels the need to say these things because Emma still talks nonsense about how she and her sister think alike, and how they both think about the children's needs. which Isabelle disagrees on. Even Isabella said to her own sister that she wasn't a spoiled child as her. I chose this paragraph because I felt it had key, important things to remember out of many other ones. I felt this paragraph stood out, rather than other ones too. It is also an interesting paragraph to read. This paragraph shows what the main character think of the other certain characters in the story. It also makes the reader (us) foreshadow about what events will lead to them because of the way the characters communicate and act around each other.
pg. 66 paragraph 4
"How long it...you were here!" The quote from this paragraph is important because here is where Mr. Woodhouse sees his daughter, Isabella, and how happy and exited he is to see her. He has been needing to want to see her and the family for a long time. Even though he is old now, he still cares for his daughters, especially Isabella and her children as if he was younger and more active, and opens up his whole house for her to stay if needed, even while now she is a grown, young woman and can support on her own. I chose this paragraph because I felt it was an important one to remember. It shows what type of character Mr. Woodhouse is. Mr. Woodhouse talks about his feelings about his two little girls, and how he feels not seeing Isabella for a long time. I felt this paragraph stood out, rather than other ones too. It is also an interesting paragraph to read. It shows how Mr. Woodhouse is still a man who will always do anything for his daughters, whatever the age is.
I agree that the first passage was important because it showed how Isabella felt towards Emma's actions. It shows that she shows concern about Emma, and what she says and does. It also shows us that Isabella is just trying to be a good sister, and do what's best for Emma. So I think it was an important passage as well.
ReplyDeleteThe second passage is important, but not THAT important. It shows how Mr. Woodhouse feels about his daughters, and how excited he was about seeing Isabella. Even though it showed us feelings of a character, I think there was more important things, in the section that we read.
I like these passages because it focuses more on Emma's development instead of others. It also tells of the conflicts Emma is having not only with herself, but with other people too. This is good to understand the maturing of the girls within the story. It is amazing that almost all the girls have the dream of being married and having a perfect life, yet it is never truly like that.
