So the passage i chose was chapter 6 page 60 starting at "The two elder ladies soon threw off...". Basically this passage was about Miss Bartlett and Miss Lavish discuss what Mr. Emerson does for work.
Miss Bartlett has as Mr. Emerson what he does for work and she got the answer "the railway" which is apparently not a very respectable job because she says "She had no idea that i would be such a dreadful answer, or she would not have asked him.". As you can see they feel as those they don't want to associate with the lower social class, because they consider themselves to be much in a much higher social class than the Emersons.The passage gave us a general view of how Miss Lavish and Miss Bartlett feel about George Emerson and how he is lower.
We are getting this information from third person and can see exactly what is going on and what is being said and how they feel about it. The narrator is not trying to hide the fact that they feel this away about the lower class, the narrator wants us to know how everyone feels about each situation.

I feel as though you do a really good job with summarizing what the question from the prompt was. You don't really go into much detail about the scene and leave out things that we talk about in class such as personal feelings of the characters or what exactly each character is going through in an individual aspect within this scene. I do agree with everything that you talk about in your blog but again the main concern I have is that it is pretty short. Another critique that I have is when writing to try to use more formal language, specifically when beginning the blog, I wouldn't start the passage as if writing it is a chore for you. I feel as though the main idea you will want to keep in your mind going into the next blog is to fully analyze the question and/or the passage in which you choose.
