 * **Passage ** || **Pg/Par ** || **Response ** ||
 * “I suppose that she wanted to get another proof that the place was haunted, at my expense. Well, it is - swarming with ghosts and goblins!” AND “He got on to the bed, and wrenched open the lattice, bursting, as he pulled at it, into an uncontrollable passion of tears. ‘Come in! Come in!’ he sobbed. ‘Cathy, do come. Oh do - once more! Oh! My heart’s darling! Hear me this time, Catherine, at last’!” || 31/11

And

33/9 || P- I think there is going to be a supernatural aspect or something similar because Lockwood tried to tell Heathcliff that the house was haunted and on page 32, paragraph 6, Heathcliff angrily shuts down Lockwood’s complaint. Heathcliff then told Lockwood to leave the room, and he obeyed, but Lockwood caught Heathcliff crying at the window shouting for “Cathy” as if he believed she was there.

Q-Why didn’t he want to tell Lockwood that he believed it was haunted? What is really going on? ||
 * “‘Nay, Cathy’. The old man would say, ‘I cannot love thee; thou ‘rt worse than thy brother. Go, say thy prayers, child, and ask God’s pardon. I doubt thy mother and I must rue that we ever reared thee’.’’ || 46/7 || Q- I wonder if Cathy wouldn’t be as crazy if her father was nicer to her and vice versa. What would it be like to hear her side of the story? What about Heathcliff’s? ||
 * “He drove him from their company to the servants, deprived him of the instructions of the curate, and insisted that he should labour out of doors instead, compelling him to do so as hard as any other lad on the farm” || 49/3 || C- this sounds a lot like Cinderella. At first, Heathcliff was loved by the father, and when the father died, there was a new master of the house and that master hated Heathcliff and turned him into a servant rather than family. ||
 *  "and her manners much improved. . . . instead of a wild, hatless little savage jumping into the house, rushing to squeeze all breathless, there lighted from A handsome black pony a very dignified person, with brown ringlets . . . you look like a lady now." || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">55/3 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">C- This reminds me of the story Nanny McPhee. Evangeline is a poor girl who works for a rich family. She then is adopted by a rich elderly lady who wants to pass on her knowledge to someone. After a couple of months, Evangeline gets to see the family again, but they almost don't recognize her with fancy dresses and good manners. This is just like when Cathy comes home in fancy dresses and good manners and isn’t recognized at first. ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“So he shall never know how I love him; and that, not because he's handsome Nelly, but because he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. " || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">82/8 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">E- Catherine is actually in love with Heathcliff as a lover not a brother. Heathcliff didn't hear her say anything after she said it would be bad to marry him, and he disappeared for a long time. This seems significant because if Heathcliff had heard her say how she loves him, she might not have married Linton. ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“‘I have a right to kiss her if she chooses, and you have no right to object. I’m not your husband; you needn’t be jealous of me’!” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">111/10 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Respond- I agree with this statement 100%. If Catherine loved Heathcliff and didn’t want him with anyone else, she should have told him her true feelings, or at least not married Linton. Now that she is married, she has no right to tell Heathcliff that he cannot kiss someone. ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“Heathcliff would soon lift a finger at you as the king would march his army against a colony of mice.” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">115/2 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">E- This is a simile. It is saying how Heathcliff wouldn’t hurt Edgar. It would be like fighting “against a colony of mice”: pointless. ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I sometimes wonder at him with an intensity that deadens my fear, yet I assure you, a tiger or a venomous serpent could not rouse terror in me equal to that which he wakens.” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">142/6 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">E- This is a hyperbole. Isabella claims that Heathcliff is scarier than a tiger or venomous serpent, which isn’t completely true. However, this does show just how terrified Isabella is of her new husband. ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“You said I killed you- haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers.” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">163/9 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">R- This is where Heathcliff is begging Catherine to haunt him. This is where the ghosts come in. I was confused as to how she was a ghost and why there was no explanation, but this is the explanation. ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“He dashed his head against the knotted trunk, and, lifting up his eyes, howled, not like a man, but like a savage beast getting goaded to death with knives and spears.” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">164/2 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">E- This is a simile meant to show how Heathcliff reacted to Catherine’s death. It is meant to make us see him howling like a wild animal being beaten. I almost see him as a wolf being hunted rather than a human. ||

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“There had been a moment when I believed I recognized, faint and far, the cry of a child; there had been another when i found myself just consciously starting as at the passage, before my door, of a light footstep.” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">8/1 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">R- This is where it all starts. I know this book is about ghosts, and this is the first time she experienced them, whether she realized it or not. ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I had the fancy of our being almost as lost as a handful of passengers in a great drifting ship. Well, I was, strangely, at the helm!” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">9/6 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">R- This is a simile that is helping explain how the Governess is feeling at her new home. She feels as if they are all lost at sea, yet somehow she is in charge. I like this simile because it really shows how lost she feels, but how she also has a sense of order and responsibility. It is a weird feeling, yet somehow it makes sense.” ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“A person of whom I was in ignorance. It lasted while I just bridled a little with the sense that my office demanded that there should be no such ignorance and no such person. It lasted while this visitant, at all events- and there was a touch of the strange freedom, as I remember, in the sign of familiarity of his wearing no hat.” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">16/3 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cl- So the Governess has seen a man in the house without a hat on, which in these times is a sign of being comfortable with your surroundings. It is almost as if he is at his home. I originally had wondered if this man was a ghost. Come to find out later, he is a man named Quint who had lived there previously. The thing is, he died a couple of years ago so he is, in fact, a ghost. ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“We had been, collectively, subject to an intrusion; some unscrupulous traveler, curious in old houses, had made his way in unobserved, enjoyed the prospect from the best point of view, and then stolen out as he came. If he had given me such a bold hard stare, that was but a part of his indiscretion. The good thing, after all, was that we should surely see no more of him.” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">18/1 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Q- If he is a ghost, who else is aware that he is there?

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cl- “They know-it’s too monstrous: they know, they know!” (29/3) This shows that the children do in fact know about the ghost. Mrs. Grose didn’t but the children do. || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">‘It was I who blew it. Dear!’ said Miles.” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">64/2 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Q- First of all, I am pretty sure it wasn’t Miles. Second, why do the kids lie about the ghosts? ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“But with my children, what things in the world mattered?” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">19/2 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">C- This reminds me of Wuthering Heights. She is a caretaker who fell in love with her pupils/masters and now sees them as her own, such as Ellen did with Catherine and Hareton when they were younger ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“I trembled lest they should see that they were so immensely more interesting..... I found myself catching them up and pressing them to my heart.” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">37/1 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Q- These children seem TOO perfect. What is up with them? ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“The presence on the lawn - I felt sick as I made it out - was poor little Miles himself.” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">43/2 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">E- I am not quite sure why, but this line just creeped me out immensely. Maybe it is because it makes Miles seem evil along with the ghost or maybe just the fact that it brings Miles into the ghost story. ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“ You’re like a troop of cavalry!” || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">61/4 || <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">R- This is also a simile. Miles said this to the Governess because she thought she was being quite, but she apparently was as loud as an army walking through the hall. ||
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“‘Why, the candle’s out!’ I then cried.
