A note to whom ever has my blog I would really like some feed back thanks.
In chapters 5 and 6 nothing happens so much with Hyde as is does Jekyll. Hyde has vanished for all intentional purposes of getting his name cleared from the Carew case and Jekyll is not deathly ill and very isolated. In the beginning of chapter 5 Dr. Jekyll says, "Utterson I swear . . . he will never more be heard of." Jekyll cleverly says this because again he does not want Utterson making assumptions about him and he needs to keep his loose ends tight so that Utterson does not figure out that he is in fact Hyde.
Throughout the rest of chapters 5 and 6 nothing much else happens besides that once again Dr. Jekyll becomes himself again and begins to dine with Utterson and Lansdon. After a week or so he becomes ill again and decides to lock himself inside his house. Some how Lansdon dies and Utterson thinks that Dr. Jekyll will be next and becomes very said and aware of the reality and damage that Hyde caused to his dear friend Jekyll.
Hope to hear from the person who has my blog. STOP SLACKING!

Hey Lauren, Sorry for being late.
Although I have not read the book, I know the basic story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. You have made some very interesting observations on the concept of self-perception that is present in the book. The plot is probably complicated and you are probably doing a good job understanding it, so I will not make any judgements about this. However, I would just like to suggest one thing. You have commented on many of the ideas that are present in the book, but I would like to see you focus a little more on the specific strategies that the author uses to convey these ideas. Since this is a 19th century text, I'm sure that it is filled with literary techniques that all serve their very specific purposes. More commentary on this would be both benificial to your own understanding of the relationship between the author's words and ideas and others' general understanding of the story when they read this blog. That is all for now. Keep up the good work you have been doing.
