Sense and Sensibility

Writing Process

This was likely one of the best books I’ve read. It ended with a satisfying ending (most books I’ve read haven’t been so satisfying), likely because I got so invested in the lives of the characters while I read this book. Writing down the passages about the different aspects of the book was relatively easy, but the one thing that was a little challenging was going in front of the class and talking about it. I tend to build up presentations in my head before I do it, but this time i was a little more calm and collected.

Core Competencies

I had to use the Critical Thinking aspect of the core competencies to deduct what the antagonist was, as it was not set on just one person. If you were to base it on people, it would be at least three different people that would almost be considered to be working against Elinor and Marianne. If you didn’t finish the book, you could be lead to draw the conclusion that it was a person working against Elinor and Marianne. However, upon reading the book, you can clearly see that no one really tries to make Elinor’s and Marianne’s lives miserable.

I communicated my ideas and why I picked certain passages for the different events in the book via my presentation. I did well not to add to many irrelevant ideas to my presentation so I didn’t lose my listeners.
