Dracula Book Chapter 5 and 6 (ish)

I mean the the first section of Chapter 6

My thoughts on Chapter 5 were that i was impressed. I liked the way that it sort of has a diversion from the happenings to Jonathan Harker. I guess it is relating to the facts that these were all just papers put into the correct order. It has worked well.

In Chapter 5 there is the 'ping-pong' effect on the letters which is effective as it gives the reader a good sense of what is going on between the two women. We find Mina Murray talking to Lucy Westenra about Lucy getiing marriage proposals. This creates a hold on the Dracula buisness and creates a massive amount of suspense for people wanting to know what happens next with them. It makes the reader have to read these parts in order to get back to what is happening to Jonathan Harker. There is a part in one of the letters that Mina has written which i woud like to highlight, this is the part which mentions Jonathan being ok in Transylvania. Its good as you get boths sides of what is going on. i.e. From Jonathan's point of view he is clearly in alot of distress and trouble. Whereas in Mina's eyes he is doing just fine.

Chapter 6 ( first part )
The first part of this i didnt really seem to understand. I knew it was the two girls finally meeting up and catching up on life. But i didn't get the part where it sort of went all off track.

I will read it tommorow again, with the rest, and who knows i might understand it.
