I feel bad for both the victim and the attacker in some sort of a way because I feel its horrible that the person who raised the man didn’t show him how to be polite and considerate of others. I also am shocked about the girl because she is only 8 years old and she shouldn’t be out in the middle of the street anyway. Lastly, what I would like to say is that when the parents were talking about what happened, they didn’t even mention that she was by herself at 3 a.m. All they cared about was manors and how people never really put them to good use.

"Story of the Door" Reaction
In the story, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde many moments caught my attention but this one in particular really made me think. The moment in the chapter “Story of the Door” is when Mr. Enfield tells the story about the door to Mr. Utterson. This isn’t a kind of story that you would hear everyday, it was strange in a way and you could not help but read it again because it was that strange. The story that he told was about a little girl who was outside in the middle of the night and a guy ran into her and knocked her down. A way that I can connect to this, in a way, is that during school, I would see people getting pushed around and then the person who did it would just walk away and act like nothing ever happened.

Well I agree with you in a way. You are right at the fact that people do get away with such things but also people are rude and don't care. But my question here is , what was the article did you read as a pre-reading? Maybe you should include that because the only thing I know is that justice wasn't really fair back then.
ReplyDeleteI agree with a point you made, that you were sympathetic for both the man and his victim. When you have sympathy for the girl thats obvious and you dont really have to go into much detail, however im sure you have well thought out reasons for the man too, that the reader would also like to see. But the Blog Entry was very good.
