I liked that both Sam and Caitlin had Jane Eyre for their readings because they asked different questions, so I got to read the sections through different lenses for what each of them were asking, but the questions also related to each other a little bit. Caitlins was about Jane’s character, but how the setting affects it. Sams was about Jane’s actions and expectations, and how her gender affects it. I noticed that in Caitlins reading of Jane Eyre, she is more resistant to what is going on around her. In Sam’s reading, she starts to conform more, like how she says she needs other people to like her and if they don’t then there’s no point to anything.
I also thought Jules reading was cool because you don’t often see serious topics presented in a graphic novel. That concept reminded of “Gender Queer” by Maia Kobabe. I think Jule’s reading being a graphic novel really added to the reading experience and helped you feel and understand more of the authors experiences
