   This is said by Caroline to Al when talking about the deed that Doro gave to Caroline. pg 228 “I’m happy right where i am. You’ll get bored with me.” “naw. That just makes us compatible honey,”             

   I agree with Caroline is right. That Al will get bored with her. He is used to moving around and not being tied down at all. This deed is making a commitment and will more likey bore him. Also, Phoebe having a disorder will not be able to move like Al wants.

  What do you guys think that Al will do about this? Will he stay and be a father to Phoebe? or will he cut his ties and live free?

What do you think of Pauls actions?? Of him doing pot and destroying the dark room. Do you think that he will throw his life away? Do you think of David handled that was responsible??

Hey guys, I really do not know if we need to blog, but whatever.

    I think Norah is becoming very jealous of her sister, Bree, and is becoming extremely bored with her marriage. This quote supports my theory. Its not really a quote per say. Its extremely short. After that wierd guy appears at the beach David says quote ” I like that guy” after some stuff Norah says “So do I”. This may not seem interesting at all to you BUT I think that when she said “So do I” I think there was a under message. I think that Norah actually “like likes ” this guy. I think Norah is soo bored she might go as far as to enter an affiar. This would further seperate the marriage which would make sense becuase that is all this book is about. Do you think that Norah could stoop so low to do this? What do you think she meant by this??? Please actully read some of this so you know what your talking about! Thanks

Thats means you Derrick. I dont think Heather will blog!! bummer

Okay, completely forgot to to this until Kody Bell mentioned it to me at hockey. So, there are two quotes I found that I thought would be worthy of mentioning. My first quote is in chapter 15 when Heathcliff comes to visit Catherine right before she dies.
“Well might Catherine deem that heaven would be a land of exile to her, unless with her mortal body she cast away her mortal character also.” I wasn’t completely sure what to make of this quote, but it seemed to mean that Catherine probably thought that heaven would be exile unless she completely through away who she was. Do you think this has to do with her being apart from Heathcliff? What do you make of this?

The second quote I thought i should mention is in chapter 16 after Heathcliff finds that Catherine is dead.

“He dashed his head against the knotted trunk; and, lifting up his eyes, howled, not like a man, but like a savage beast getting goaded to death with knives and spears.” This struck me as creepy and insane. If Heathcliff loved Catherine so much, how could he bear to be away from her for several years? This reaction also struck me as odd because I’m pretty sure most people would just cry, not slam their head into a tree and howl.

Okiedokie.

So for chapters X-XIII, I found one quote specifically I think we should go over. (Chapter XIII, Page 124)

“Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.”

When Nelly is continuing to tell Lockwood the story, she pulls out a letter Isabella wrote. Soon after getting basically kicked out of the Linton family, she wrote to tell Edgar that she has married Heathcliff, and is pretty much unhappy with it, considering the turn it took on her family. I chose this quote because I like the message it has behind it, almost saying if someone had an influence or story to tell, then it should be remembered and passed along.

Do you guys have anything to expand on to this?

Oh, and Megan sorry that this is pretty late =/

Hello everyone! While reading, I discovered many passages and quotes I found to be interesting. One of the more profound sections is found in chapter 7 and is said by Mrs. Nelly Dean to young Heathcliff during the flashback narrated by Nelly. It says the following: 

“Yes: you had the reason of going to bed with a proud heart and an empty stomach. Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves. But, if you be ashamed of your touchiness, you must ask pardon, mind, when she comes in.”

This quote I found to be very interesting because it shows the level of wisdom Nelly Dean has. I would like some other input about this quote to further be able to understand its meaning. I think that when Nelly talks about proud people, she means that they raise the amount of their own griefs without taking in the consideration of other peoples’ feelings at that time. Any other thoughts? My question is, why does Mr. Heathcliff need to be repremanded so? Is it because of his physical misbehavior or his mental and emotional misunderstandings?

Another quote I found particularly interesting is when Mr. Heathcliff is comparing himself to Mr. Linton and says he would love to have as much money as him someday. This is interesting because it is an example of foreshadowing to later in his life, but not foreshadowing to the reader as in the majority of novels. Did anyone else notice this? Any other thoughts? Why do you think the author included this in the novel? For effect?

“I pulled its wrist on to the broken pane, and rubbed it to and fro till the blood ran down and soaked the bedsheets”

This is an interesting quote because many superstitiousl lead us to believe that we can pass through ghosts. If this is in fact true how does a ghost bleed if it is in fact dead?? Also i would like to ask why do you guys think that this room is not allowed to all vistors?
