Hedvig
Dear diary,
Life is great here with my family. But I am angry at the fact that I am not attending school. Although my mother teaches me a lot of things, mostly about economics, I want to learn more. This is because I am such a curious person, I believe that a proper education would solve the many questions that I have about the world. Also, I would like to have time to explore the world. I feel that I am so confined to this household and my family that I do not have time for myself. If I could go outside and explore what is on the outside of my normal life, I feel that I would be more entertained. Not that I do not like that I am always with my family, I do not mind that at all. It is just that I feel like exploring. I want to be given a chance to do something that my mother and father do not tell me to do. Of course I do not mean any trouble though.
My wild duck is so fascinating! It is very mysterious and I feel like it is detached from all of its surroundings. I mean, it is the only duck in the attic. There are other birds in there as well, but they are not the same, I almost feel bad for the poor duck. Its wing is badly hurt, and it was picked up by a dog's teeth, that is why I feel so bad. But it is kinda like me, and that is why I love it so much. It seems to be full of curiosity like me, and it has an interesting look to it. Well, obviously because it was harmed so badly. But what astonishes me the most is the fact that it is still alive after all of that!
Interesting diary, but I wouldn't say that Hedvig is confined to stay in the house. This is because she says that she wants to stay at home and help her parents as much as possible. She continues talking how she wants to learn how to put picture frames or something like that together. Also, her daddy also tells her to go out for a walk once in a while because of her vision, so I think Hedvig only wanted to stay at home as her own will.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great representation of Hedvig's feelings. It captures her love for her family but at the same time the way it limits her.
