Eveline

I  believe this is blog # 9 , almost done! The story Eveline is a very relateable story.  Its about a woman who wishes for more excitement in her life. I think at one point we all want a little more excitement in our lives, we want to try something new before it's too late. She lived at home with her family her whole life but times where different now  her siblings have grown up and moved away and her mother died , it was only her and her father left in the house. Her father was somewhat of an abusive man, he didnt want Eveline to leave this obviously made her feel trapped by her surroundings. Everyday she thought about leaving, her and her boyfriend Frank would run away together and live a happy life. Frank represented the freedom and excitement thats she has always longed for. Frank would be the one who saves her. Eveline much like the woman in the poem "the woman in this poem" share common intrests and they both know that their time is running out. In the end Eveline can't find it in herself to leave. Before her mother died she had made a promise to her that she would take care of her home . This was a very selfless decision on Evelines part. Even though it was Evelines greatest wish to leave and start her knew life she honored her commitment to her mother. Evelines selflessness is deffinatly something I admire. Eveline also finds it h ard to leave her home because she has lived there her whole life. Its her home and it filled with so many memories, good and bad. I can deffinatly relate to Eveline in this sense. I decided to do my first year of university here in my home town because i just can't picture myself leaving home yet. I feel like i wouldn't beable to survive on my own I knew i would miss my family and the feeling or home way too  much. I really have no idea what im going to do next year when I have no other option but leave.
