New Chapter
In Jane Eyre, Jane steps out of the story to comment that almost ten years of her life has passed in as many chapters. I'm pretty sure that I'm in a new chapter of life right now. I hope I make it interesting. Well, I hope it's Interesting, but not in terms of literary greatness with all the murder, tragedy, and betrayal. I don't want to be Shakespeare or a Dean Koontz horror. Ender's Game would not be bad--a lot of strife, but people end joyful and redeemed. I love Jane Austen, but I want my life to go beyond attaining the grand marital match. It would go poorly as I've already been there, done that, and I'm sure there's life after!
If you could pick the author of your life, who would you pick?
I think I might be a Charlotte Bronte girl. I like to be a bit more cheerful, but in the end Jane Eyre is about the growth of a girl not really spectacular to the world. Yet, she fights her battles, overcomes obstacles, and finds peace in the end. It's certainly interesting without gratuitous violence or murder. She's polite, a lady, but she doesn't wilt from politeness like sometimes even Elizabeth Bennett did. How about John Steinbeck? East of Eden is one of my favorite epic novels of all time, but it would be exhausting to be apart of such a large legacy. Every small event, family, or individual in the book is apart of this huge heritage that spans the history of one's ancestors to the future of the descendants. Harry Potter would be stretching more on the side of too much murder, violence, and tragedy for one lifetime.
I'll have to think about this...something to write in Julie's shared journal.
