Reading Log
Wuthering Height's is a very confusing novel. I'm not really sure what is happing or where the plot will take me. When someone told me what the book was about I thought it would be a more modern book, I was way off it is placed in the 1800's. I know nothing about that period which makes me clueless the they talk. It is going to awhile to get thought this book.

Notes 2 and 3
Note 2
The movie Pirates of the Caribbean: at World’s End, Will Turner, a pirate, asks Elizabeth Swann to marry him during a battle that could be the end of them both. In this scene the raging sea, violent rain, and the clashing of swords depict a sense of urgency, and passion for the two to unite as one. Will and Elizabeth move around the ship as if they were dance partners. The two throughout the battle clutch on to each other like long lost lovers, afraid they will disappear if they let go. The gentle music is fighting the crashing waves and pounding rain to be heard amongst the chaos much like Will and Elizabeth’s love for one another. Although the two are fighting for their life their facial expressions are those of a child on Christmas morning, ready to become one. Finally the kiss comes the music takes the control drowning out the rain, and sea, Will and Elizabeth appear to be in a bubble unaffected by the disorder around them. Ending the scene with the once gentle music turning into music filled with power and passion, the rain going from violent to peaceful, leaving the characters in unaltered moment.
