Richard III
When reading this novel “The Daughter of Time” I thought it wasn’t going to be interesting and relate to my life at all but in fact I was wrong. After reading the first couple chapters I started to picture myself in this book, I work in a hospital and often wonder what people do and think when they are sick, they read books but what do they read about? In this book he clearly reads about history and one person killing another, the author makes it all seem so real but the real question is how do we know this to be true. Just because one told us this is what happened. Another thing that got me thinking is when Grant asked Midget “what do you want to look at that face for? Who was he anyway” He didn’t know who he was looking at and made such a bold statement, many people in society told look at someone and make a comment without knowing that person. Sometimes they just say something that’s not nice or make a comment based off of what they heard from someone else. Just like Grant did about Richard III. It’s just amazing how a book based off of many years ago can still relate to people today and how they act and what they think. With this book to be a start to think class I’m interested to see what we read next. Based on this book history are events that are believed to have taken place and talked about many years later.

You make an interesting point. I too pictures myself as Grant, being stuck in a hospital bed, unable to do his fast-paced job. I got just as engrossed in trying to prove Richard's innocence. Grant treated his nurses and friends as suspects, as I touched on in my post. And the way their opinions changed through the story was quite amusing. Grant was a man of facts and considered himself to be a good judge of someone's character.
ReplyDeleteI like your thoughts here. It's pretty sad how people know things like this and yet they still believe everything they hear and read. This book really makes you think about all the things we just take in as a fact because it came from a book or other form of media that was published by a well known organization.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Everyone that Grant talked to seemed to know what kind of a person Richard was without really knowing him. They just believe and listen to stories and information that they have heard from other people. It is extremely difficult, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions so fast or believe everything we hear.
