Me again. As I have mentioned before, I cannot...Hi. Me again. As I have mentioned before, I cannot make it to the meeting this week and the next to come, so sorry for that. I'll just leave my opinion here, if that is alright with you :)<br /><br />Chapters 1-2 give a very interesting introduction to the character of George and it puts some emphasis on how naive he is due to his lack of wealth. He seemed like a well-rounded gentleman which would explain why it was mentioned in Chapter 3 that he had numerous love affairs. <br /><br />Chapter 3 still shows some of his innocence and sincerity and modesty. Then in Chapter 4, his character did a complete 180 and became quite arrogant if I may say so myself. He started thinking too highly of himself and overestimated the skills that he did not even possess, but were possessed by Madame Forestier. Then he became even more pigheaded after he slept with Rachel a second time. And when I read that his second article was refused and he wrote it again and again and again, to no avail, all I actually thought was "serves him right".<br /><br />I know that things are just about to get worse, but I am liking the book so far and learned something valuable from it:<br /><br />Complacency takes away the things you thought you had and makes you realize that you didn't have them in the first place.<br /><br />Until next week, xo,<br />AuroraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8480482834300040797.post-24295986837761095442010-01-29T08:19:23.295-05:002010-01-29T08:19:23.295-05:0011am Sunday is a good time, for those who are stil...11am Sunday is a good time, for those who are still awake. Unfortunately, I'll be out like a rock by that time b/c it would be midnight here. I'll just leave my comments on the first 4 chapters here, just like you said. :) <br /><br />Once I get around to reading the additional two chapters. <br /><br />xo,<br />AuroraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
