Commenting on another Comment

I completely agree with Rafael's and Rodrigo's analyses of realism in this novel. The long narrative does really emphasize the psychological analyses of the characters and it becomes very apparent throughout the novel. Another important aspect as Rodrigo said is the emphasis on racism towards social class. I also do sympathize now with Heatcliff because I notice he has suffered a lot with the Earnshaw's. This racism is very apparent when Heatcliff arrives with the master from Liverpool and the family referrs to him as "it". They treet him as an unwanted object and he is only recognized once he recieves the name of Heatcliff.
I also agree with Rafael on the fact that the weather and the environment are very important in this novel, and sometimes it kills the "suspense" of the story because the reader knows what to expect being that the weather is dark or rainy. For example when Heatchliff and Cathy runaway and she is bitten by Sparkles, it was a rainy dark night and they were running through the woods. It was very clear that something bad was going to happen to the two kids.
One thing I am finding really good with this book is that I am practicing the words I learn with the Vocab book. I have noticed that in almost all pages there is one word from the Vocab book, and some different words that I do not know the meaning of are words to come in the book. Therefore I am putting into to practice my Vocab. Anyways now I am starting to enjoy the story however the fact that the story evolves around the past makes it not much exciting.
P.S. my post on the next pages I have been reading will be made tomorrow because do to the confusion of this week my daily pages schedule got messed up. I hope this will not be much of a problem!!!!
Happy Easter everyone!!!!!
