Literacy Blog #5 - MSND

     Today I would like to discuss the connections between A Midsummer Night's Dream and the novel I am reading right now. I have recently started a new book, The Face on the Milk Carton. In A Mid Summer Night's Dream, they're planning a wedding. During this wedding, Quince's character is very bossy and seems to tell everyone what they need to do. While in my book, one of the characters, Janie she is very laid back and her mother is the one telling her what to do and she is all up on what is going on in her life. Although, her mother cares about her she seems to be worried about Janie all the time but she just wants to make sure everything is okay. Also, in A Mid Summer Night's Dream, I notice how Egeus is a very demanding, strict parent. In The Face on the Milk Carton Janie's mother is very similar to Egeus. She is also caring at the same time though. One second she will be yelling at Janie to do something, and the next she will be full of questions about Janie's life and whats going on around her. By this, she is caring and just wants to make sure her daughter is safe. Egeus yells at his daughter Hermia, telling her to do things she doesn't want to. She doesn't really have a choice but to listen to her father. While in my book, Janie's mother is very much alike. The connections between these two characters are pretty similar.
