The Awakeninging again
I don't know about everyone else, but i was not too crazy about this book. It was all about feelings and crap and was intensly boring and i mean like so boring that i would rather just sleep that read it. The only aspect of the book that i found slightly interesting was Edna's rebirth. I liked how she broke out of the femnale cookie-cutter stereo type of women at the time of just taking care of the family, and began pursuing her own wants and dreams. I also liked how Robert refused to have an affair with Edna because he knew it was wrong and I really hate it when a guy messes with another guys wife or girlfriend. These things were the only things i liked about the book because it really isn't a very interesting book for guys, or anyone for that matter. So sorry if you liked the book but i would rather read billboards than read The Awakening.

The Awakeninging
Hello everybody who decides to read this blog which is probably no one. So the Awakening is not a very exciting book. The plot seems a bit dull and there isn't any really cool things happening, like in Montana 1948, which i will be comparing all of our books to. It was interesting to see the notable difference between the women at that time compared to now. The women were extremely restricted in what they were expected to do and how they were expected to obey their husbands. Their relationships with their husbands seemed very distant and were exemplified by Edna and her weak relationship with her man. She would never admit the weakness or show it.

Its over
I didnt really like the House on Mango Street because it was way too depressing. She always put herself into awkward situations and made herself feel bad, just like with her situation with the nun and the canteen. I felt that the book harped on the bad areas of Esperanza's life all the way up to the end, until her life finally got better which made the book at least a little less depressing. It was the only point in the novel where i was not crying.I really don't like books that focus on the struggle of a person throughout their life. It makes me feel bad just like when i see a homeless person on the street, and i hate that. Overall, i am not a fan of the book. Hi again Miss McDonald. This was a pretty good post huh? Worth an A+ wouldn't you say?

This book is weird
Okee dokee guys...this book is not very cool so far. I don't like how the chapters are so short except for the fact that it makes reading the book shorter. I wish the novel was more like Montana 1948, in that it would flow better and be a more interesting read. I think this book will become more intersesting to read as things unfold and become more clear, but for now i wish we didn't have to do it. Hi Miss McDonald. What's up? How about this crazy weather we've been having lately? Also, i don't like Esperanza very much, because it makes me sad that she is lonely and doesn't have a best friend.
