My Blog Reflection

This blog has been different for last semester. Last semester was a group blog where we posted some of our journal entries. Now this blog was personal and was actually our journal. The online journal entries were about stories and novels read in class. It’s been great working in an online journal that everyone can see because they can comment about their opinions and show the way they think about mine. We could also view the entries of our group members and other classmates that opened our minds in the different point of view everyone has.
A disadvantage of this online blog is that, sometimes we do our entries late because we don’t have to hand it in the classroom. That eventually makes us forget about the assignment and then don’t do it at all. The advantages of the online blog is that after we finish the semester we can keep on writing about everything we read, write or whatever that happens in our lives. We could also keep in touch with the teacher and our classmates and their future readings and writings.

Perspectives

Frederick Winterbourne was really fond of her and her charisma, so he decides to arrange an encounter between Daisy and his aunt Mrs. Costello. Mrs. Costello was a really elegant lady who knew a lot of people, but when Frederick tries to introduce Daisy to the lady she says that they are common meaning that they are from a lower social class than her.Mrs. Walker, who was a lady the met in Italy, tries to get some sense in the mind of Daisy, because a young unmarried girl should not walk with a young man and this case two at a time. Walker think Daisy is ruining her and her reputation, but Daisy stays in her place doing what she wants. All of this fuss about Daisy Miller and her young male friends leads to a phase where everyone turned their backs on Daisy and they simply chose to not accept her behavior anymore. Mrs. Miller thinks that Daisy is engaged to Mr. Giovanelli and she talks about it with Mr. Winterbourne.Giovanelli did not even care about her and she showed in that way he disappears when she was ill.It is clear for us that Winterbourne defended Daisy in the eyes of Mrs. Costello and Mrs. Walker and that he thought that Daisy was innocent and good.In the novel “Reading Lolita in Tehran”, we can see that some people thought that “she was not merely immoral, she was “unreasonable””. Some men pointed out that Daisy was a sinner. In Iran a woman is worth half a man and her voice is not taken seriously, that why some mea think Daisy’s behavior is reckless. Some women thought that Daisy was a courageous young woman because she acted like herself at all times and no man or human being could change the way she is.
