Chapters 14 - 15
Nelly was always one of the very few people that tried to help Heathcliff and Catherine, so I'm not sure why Nelly is trying to stop them from seeing eachother now, especially since Catherine is sick and could die. I hope Catherine doesn't die, but I'm guessing she does because of the "ghost" that appeared in the beginning of the novel. Since Catherine wants to be with Heathcliff, she should make him stay and have Edgar leave.

Wuthering Heights
Chapters 12 - 13
I don't understand how it took Isabella so long to realize she made a mistake, it was clear to everyone that Heathcliff and Catherine loved eachother. I kind of expected Heathcliff to use Isabella to take out all his anger, since she is Edgar's sister. I'm scared that Hindley is going to be able to kill Heathcliff.

Wuthering Heights
Chapters 10 - 11
I'm wondering if we'll ever find out how Heathcliff got his fortune, and if it was really from gambling. If it's so obvious Catherine and Heathcliff love eachother, why does Edgar ask to marry her? She doesn't love him like she does Heathcliff. Also, with Heathcliff allowing Isabella to have affections for him, I feel like him and Catherine being together is just becoming more and more impossible. I want to know if Catherine decides to stay with Edgar or Heathcliff.

Wuthering Heights
Chapters 8 - 9
After reading these chapters, it makes me wonder if Catherine and Heathcliff will ever be together. Even though she married Edgar, she knows and it is obvious that her and Heathcliff were meant to be together. I'm not sure if it's too late for the two of them. Why couldn't Nelly talk to Heathcliff for Catherine, she seemed to always approve of the two of them even though Heathcliff is considered a "downgrade" from Edgar.

Wuthering Heights
Chapters 6 - 7
I'm happy that Nelly is on Heathcliff's side but I'm wondering why he didn't listen to Hindley. The confusion about all the characters in the book and what happened is what makes me even more interested in reading it. I'm wondering why Catherine had to stay five weeks at the Grange, and couldn't just be brought home. Lastly, I want to know how Heathcliff is going to get revenge.

Wuthering Heights
Chapters 4 - 5
I'm confused with all the names and their generations so I'm hoping it'll make more sense later. Also, I'm not sure I can trust everything Lockwood says because he was not actually there when the events he describes happened. It all about what he read or heard from the diary and conversations. Also, Lockwood will describe a person as one way, but their actions show them to be the complete opposite. I also don't think Lockwood actually saw the ghost of Catherine, I think it was just a dream.

Essay Revision 2
Today I worked on making my significance sentences different for each quote, but still supporting the main topic. I'm not sure if my essay is still too much summary. Also, I think I need to work on my thesis more, I still feel like it's a little too broad. I also worked on my conclusion, so that it isn't just my thesis repeated.
Essay Revision
I just spent an hour working on my essay. I felt like I had a lot of quotes and summary, so I tried taking some of that out and adding in the significance part. I still feel like I'm repeating myself a lot because I am running out of things to say so I have to fix that. A lot of my quotes still have the same significance and I'm not sure how to make sure each quote has a different significance that ties in with my thesis.

Wuthering Heights
Chapters 1-3
I'm confused about who the three Catherines all with different last names are, I'm wondering if this book is going to be about three generations. Also, I'm confused about what happened to Catherine and Heathcliff, why he was crying for her back. It seems like she is dead and so maybe he hasn't gotten over her death. This book is interested and makes you want to keep reading to see what is going on.

My Expectations
I picked this book because my mom told me it was a good story about love between a rich girl and poor boy. I like love stories and I was excited when I was able to get my first pick of books. I think it's interesting that this is the only book that Emily Bronte published and that her and her sisters were all authors. I'm excited to read this book and I hope it's as good as I heard!
