19th September’11 – Mr. Sadgrove—focused on the narrative voices in Wuthering Heights.

We as a class started off on a very artistic note. We were asked to draw a man(Lockwood) and to the right of the man we had to state what we as readers think of Lockwood as a narrator with evidence i.e. AO2 analysis and to the left of the man we had to state what the other characters of Wuthering Heights think of Lockwood along with evidence i.e. AO2 analysis and in the center of the character we had to state what Lockwood thinks of himself again with evidence. After this activity we went on to reading an article from E-magazine. This article is written by Sue Hemming who takes into consideration the narrator's role of Nick Carraway and Lockwood in The Great Gatsby and Wuthering Heights. We were then asked to write a summary of we understood from the article and this is what I said:-

• compares Wuthering Heights to The Great Gatsby and shows the similarities between Nick and Lockwood and also between Gatsby and Heathcliff


• talks about the importance of "fragmented narratives" in these texts i.e. they make the text easier to understand

So for the people who were not in lesson please go and collect this article from Mr. Sadgrove and read it for next lesson as this would help while writing an essay... :)

And here goes the home-work due for our next lesson which is on the 27th :-

1)Read chapter 1-4

2)What impression do we get of our narrator -Lockwood? 2-3 paragraphs.

3)Draw the exterior of Wuthering Heights(the house) - and label with evidence from the text.

4)"The opening of Wuthering Heights sets up what essentially is a Gothic novel"? Do you agree? 3-4 paragraphs.
