Hey! As you know this is my new blog for talking about different novels. The last two books that we read were "A Christmas Carol" and "The Old Man and the Sea". The first topic I would like to talk about is how Charles Dickens and Earnest Hemmingway wrote about their own period of time. Can we get any insight from their novels about these two periods in history?
My answer:
I think that we can get alot from the novels about their times! For example: We can guess that the people in England in the time that Charles Dikens wrote his book, did not say Merry Christmas to one another. One reason why I know that is because Mrs. Koning told it to us, but if you are really smart you could see that by just reading the novel. We can see that at the time that Earnest Hemmingway wrote his novel the people of Cuba got all their money from fishing. So we can get lots from these books about the times.

Really good blog. I agree, I also would say that since their stories are a bit depressing I think it shows how much inpact the World Wars had on them and their feelings towards it all. Also the way they describe the situation and social injustic at that time.
I agree. It does help us understand the past... that sounds deep. Anyway, good job.
Just trying to help...
Yah, in both books there's a lot of poverty and social injustice stuff.
You were right about me!

What do you mean I was right about you, and does that have anything to do with the blog, Micah. You are right, Laura! They both talk a lot about poverty which means that there was a lot of it.
