wuthering heights.

When I was doing the anticipation guide survey, for some of the questions I had to take a moment to think about them.  All of them were simple questions and surprisingly answered by a straightforward True or False.  For me, I felt that all these questions combined had a big range from one to the other.  But, it is interesting to know that each and everyone has a background to it and will be answered when reading Wuthering Heights. 

The first one that stuck in my mind was when some dies, he or she cannot “come back from the dead.” For this one I said False.  Now you must be thinking I am a little crazy, how can some who has died actually come back from the dead? However, let me tell you how I perceived this question.  No, I do not think that someone who has died can “physically” come back from the dead…I am not that insane.  But, I do think that when someone whom you are very close to passes away, they are always looking out for you and you can communicate to them when needed.  So, in a sense they can come back.  No, I do not mean like a ghost or anything. I’m sure everyone has their own opinions on this as I clearly do, some may agree and others not.

A second statement that I felt connected to was a person’s childhood friends are usually the most loyal.  For this one I put both True and False.  Why you may ask? Well, starting with why I choose to put false was because for the most part in your childhood friends you will find that this is where all the drama lies, stupid arguments, talking about each other, and the list goes on.  Now who wants to stick around with these people that you are not comfortable with and most importantly are not “loyal” to you?  But, on the other hand, this is not how all childhood friendships are.  It of course depends on the type of people. So, if you have a friend that you grew up with, remained close to, and were able to get passed the bad times if their were any, then I would say that this friend is probably one of the most loyal people that you will have in your life, which is why I chose to put true as well.

Yes, with these two statements I mentioned above you are probably thinking that I am over-analyzing the questions.  But, in my eyes if you do not really think about the statements and try to connect them to your life, what are you really getting out of this assignment.  In that case it is basically a waste of time if you are not really going to think about them and dig deep inside.

And lastly the third statement I liked was that classic novels are important to read.  For this one I said true.  Aside from being great novels that you can appreciate, I think that you learn the most from reading a classic novel.  Most of the time, for me, the classic novels I have read have been from school.  And yes I must admit that if I was not obligated to read the book, it would probably not be one that I would pick up on my own.  So, I am grateful for that because having read several of these classic novels, I know I feel more knowledgeable and they will be books I will remember and relate to forever.
